Well, you can put me back down where you picked me up
Send me to from where I came
And you can ask me to leave and I'll be on my way
And I will not complain
And I will not leave you alone
Well, I could steal you a car if it might get you started
Thinking that you might be mine
Well, I could grow my hair, I really would not care
If I could be your valentine
And I will not leave you alone
Jane is fine, always fine
We're unhappy most of the time
We don't talk, we don't fight
I'm just tired, she's way past caring
But she says, she is fine
She tells lies most of the time
What she needs, iI don't have
That's not in the hand that I'm holding
So we drink spanish wine
She plays country records until the morning
This is mine, all of mine
She is not, she is not mine
But I feel fine
Only when I'm sleeping
Only with the tv on
She and I and empty wine and whisky bottles
And she white beneath crumpled sheets
She is everything I need
But she would rather be
Any place but here
Jane is fine, always fine
We're unhappy most of the time
We don't talk, we don't fight
I'm just tired, she's way past caring
So we drink spanish wine
We tell lies, we're killing time
And we feel fine
Well, what's the crime?
Wasting my time
A shadow on the riverbank
Watching my reflection go to sea
Wind in my hair
I could be most anywhere
But I do not care to know
Not where I stand
Baby, I've been lost without you
Since I don't have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?
Must I take what I can get and call it my own?
As long as I love my baby
I'm only lonely.
She said not to call
Said it would be best for all concerned
If I just all but disappear
But she loves you best
And I love her nonetheless
So I just listen to the voice on the machine, singing
Baby, I've been lost without you
Since I don't have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?
Must I take what I can get and call it my own?
As long as I love my baby
I'm only lonely.
Maybe one day she'll call me up and say
"God damn you your baby's crying
and I'm lonely. Come home."
Maybe I'll find some guts someplace and drive up
And you'll be there playing on the porch and she'll just say
"Baby, where you been?
And ain't your little man growing?"
Pay me no mind
I'm just a shadow on the riverbank
Watching my reflection go to sea
Baby, I've been lost without you
Since I don't have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?
Must I take what I can get and make it my home?
As long as I love my baby
I'm only lonely.
Hey I was walking my bag
through a 20 storey non stop snow storm
Pirrelli calender girls westling in body lotion
my head's swimming with poetry and prose
excuse me one moment whilst I powder my nose
me and my good thing are just about as close as can be
we gave up sleep at the age of 17
my world's getting bigger as my eyesight gets worse
I can't see the lines on my idiot board
what above love?
I don't let that stuff in my house
this is the glamorous life there's no time for fooling around
Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing
I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window
It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with
I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby
What's your bag?
Hundred million dollar jam
got some traffic yessir in my nose
motorcycle speed cops burning up my dust roads
my baby left me heck ain't that a shame
she's over in the corner with my new best friend
I'm doing fine with my whisky and wine
and meet me in the john john meet me in the john john
Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing
I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window
It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with
I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby
What's your bag?
Spin spin whisky and gin I suffer for my art
bartender I got wild mushrooms growing in my yard
fix me a quart of petrol clams on the half shell
feels like prohibition baby give me the hard sell
more give me more give me more more more
I'm your yes man yes maam I'm your yes man
Lord have mercy I know what I'm doing
I don't need an alibi I need a fire escape and an open window
It's my problem it's nothing I can't deal with
I'm not chasing anything just jogging baby
Suppose I told you everything I know
And it adds up to less than you already know
Well, I wont mind if you think I’m lazy
I wont care if you find me insincere
Because it’s the best that I can do
Come on, take my hand, it may be cold outside
But we’ve got New York City sunshine
Walking with the junkies and the millionaires
In the New York City..
New York City sunshine
I want to take you to the Metropolitan
But you say Man that really wouldn’t turn you on
Well, I wont mind if you think I’m a little crazy
I wont care if you find me insincere
Because it’s the best that I can do
Come on, take my hand, it may be cold outside
But we’ve got New York City sunshine
Walking with the junkies and the millionaires
In the New York City..
New York City sunshine
Maybe I’m going to get paid today
Maybe I’m going to get made today
Maybe I’m going to go back to Garden City
I know one of these days I’m going to leave this town
One of these days I’m going to pack her up and put her in drive
And head into the great whereafter.
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Let it rest there for a while
I guess that I'm still good for something
Once in a while
And if you need someone to talk to
Just give a call I'll be around
And if you want me to avoid you
Just say the word
If you love him you should leave me
That's the best thing to do
And if you need him you don't need me
Like you used to
And if you believe that you'll be happy
Then I'm happy for you
Guess that it's just kind of funny
Ain't it me who never cried?
I guess that I'll still kind of love you
For a little while
If you love him you should leave me
That's the best thing to do
And if you need him you don't need me
Like you used to
And if you believe that you'll be happy
Then I'm happy for you
You silly thing
Don't you apologize
You don't owe me
The more I learn the less I know
Could you make mine straight absolute?
The more I fail the less I try
Ask not of me the reason why
Oh, my sentimental fool
Have I got a tale for you
The woman I love is not content
The life I made, it ain't what I meant
The space I'm in is filled with love
The state I'm in is pitiful
Oh, my sentimental fool
Have I got a tale for you
But, when she calls my name
We're almost happy, she's almost like you
Yes, when she calls my name
we're almost there
Man, she's almost like you
The longer I live the less I believe
And all I lost is all I need
The life I made is filled with regret
And I can't tell the half of it.
The woman I love has lost her faith
And I just watch as she fades away
The space I'm in is filled with love
The shape I'm in ain't beautiful.
Oh, my sentimental fool
Have I got a tale for you
Oh, my sentimental fool
I'm draining the glass for you
Do you see my girl?
She's almost like you
Living on juice
Eating out of tuna cans
Mobile home
With my dairy queen
Tied me a knot
She had to cut me loose
I liked her a lot
Like lovers do
Julia came
Eating a tangerine
Friday the third
4.30
She tore out a page
Of my magazine
Then she went away
Like lovers do
Saturday girls
Kept me warm a while
Sunday sunshine
Kills all conversation
You look in her eyes
And you see circles
Then she lets you get away
Like lovers do
Everyday
Are you so sad to see me
And I'm so glad to take the blame
If it's always going to be that way
Living on juice
Eating out of tuna cans
Mobile home
With my dairy queen
Tied me a knot
She had to cut me loose
Now I'm looking at you
Like lovers do
Wasting my time
A shadow on the riverbank
Watching my reflection go to sea
Wind in my hair
I could be most anywhere
But I do not care to know
Not where I stand
Baby, I've been lost without you
Since I don't have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?
Must I take what I can get and call it my own?
As long as I love my baby
I'm only lonely.
She said not to call
Said it would be best for all concerned
If I just all but disappear
But she loves you best
And I love her nonetheless
So I just listen to the voice on the machine, singing
Baby, I've been lost without you
Since I don't have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?
Must I take what I can get and call it my own?
As long as I love my baby
I'm only lonely.
Maybe one day she'll call me up and say
"God damn you your baby's crying
and I'm lonely. Come home."
Maybe I'll find some guts someplace and drive up
And you'll be there playing on the porch and she'll just say
"Baby, where you been?
And ain't your little man growing?"
Pay me no mind
I'm just a shadow on the riverbank
Watching my reflection go to sea
Baby, I've been lost without you
Since I don't have a place to call my home
Oh, my sweet baby, must I empty my heart?
Must I take what I can get and make it my home?
As long as I love my baby
I'm only lonely.
Couldn’t get arrested
So you went and stole a car
And now you say that it was me
Who drove you where you are
Got out of the city
Everyone agreed
The life that you were living
It wasn’t healthy
And now it’s
One more piece of paper
Flying through the air
Are these your waste paper basket diaries?
And you wont get to the future
In that old time machine
But if you climb in back
We could take you a little while
And then again
Written for kicks
Paid by the line
Straight from the sticks
To the beginning of Time
Who wouldn’t want to raise a glass to that?
And I may be drunk
But this is no church
And you have yet to read
My defining works
I’m getting close
I’m closing on the final scene
And now it’s
One more piece of paper
Flying through the air
Are these my waste paper basket diaries?
And I know that I wont get to the future
In thisold time machine
But if I climb in back
You could take me a little while
And then again
And then again
Jimmy's in the bathroom
He took all your pills
It gave him x-ray vision
He says everybody here is naked
Told me I should warn you
Not to leave me too fast
That guy that you've been checking in the corner
ain't all that he's cracked
You're too damn tall with your flat shoes on
Believe I get the message and I do feel small
Swore to eat the whole fruit
Nothing but the beet juice
95% of the proof
ain't going to get you conviction
Flew in on the red eye
Virgin mother Mary
Brand new baby blue contacts
and I'm a Virgo visionary
Fortify Opinion
Get a consensus
The crowd is multiplying
They're here to subtract their differences
Oh, come on, Jane
We're not so crazy
As we'd like to think
Come on, walk me home
You know my place
And I'm only limping
Oh, come on, Jane
You walk in my house with her lipstick over your face
You tell me you got news for me
Well, do you think I can't see straight?
Do you think I can't recognize her perfume on your clothes
You tell me you got news for me
Well I don't need to be told
Let me guess, she's looking for a little peace of mind
I don't want to cause any more pain but could I please have what's mine?
She's got such a pretty please I never could say no
Well, just take a half of everything and then please go
Now I know right now you're thinking I'm some crazy kind of fool
But the truth of the matter is I'm just like you
She's some kind of voodoo woman
She said she can't use me anymore
That's what she said to me she said
I can't use you anymore
I don't need her loving, I don't need her kissing
I don't need for you to tell me all that I've been missing
I don't need her loving, I don't need her kissing
I don't need for you to tear me down and tear me down again
Every time you give a little more
She could still use a little more
Every time you give a little more
She could still use a little more
And when you can't give a little more
She could still use a little more
She could still use a little more
She could still use a little more
Tell her that she done me
That she done me good
Tell her that she done me
Like a lady should
And if I ever see her
And I hope I never do
I might have to show her
Just what a love can do
The sun ain't going to shine
And the rain is gonna fall
Because I put a spell on you
And all the years I cried
All the years that I tried
To save a stillborn love
I know what you're thinking
Pretty soon I'll howl at the moon
But you better believe me
Because I was just like you
Mister, read the writing on the wall
Get out while you're still whole
While you're still breathing
I don't need her loving, I don't need her kissing
I don't need for you to tell me all that I've been missing
I don't need her loving, I don't need her kissing
I don't need her to tear me down again
Got a match?
I could burn your ear
I’ve got a litle time on my hands
Got to smoke
Got to break your heart
Before someone else does
I caught a glimpse of a little girl
Behind the blackness of her eyes
I fell in love
She said she knew I would
As it rained on the parade
I never knew what was on her mind
I never got past second guess
I never asked ‘Could you be mine?’
And it rains on the parade
We got a place above an all night supermarket
No peace for the wicked
We made our bed and then we lay down on it
Without a word
And right there
Well she almost said it
But she just sucked it right back in
And what ever future that we might have had
Was just smoke between her lips
I never knew what was on her mind
I never got past second guess
I never asked ‘Could you be mine?’
I just rained on her parade
I never knew what was on her mind
Got a match?
I could burn your ear
I’ve got a litle time on my hands
Got to smoke
Got to break my heart
Before someone else does
Jenevieve, you’ve been on my mind
I hear a promise has been made
I guess June
Or would it be too soon
To rain on your parade?
I never knew what was on your mind
I never got past second guess
I never asked ‘Could you be mine?’
And it rains on the parade
I never knew what was on your mind
I second guessed you every time
I never knew what you almost said
And it still rains on the parade
Well, she's a girl in a million
And I'm a millionaire
She wants to mother my children
I think I want to marry her
We haven't got a lot of money
Got a full head of hair
But she's a girl in a million
And I'm a millionaire
Her dad's a big shot politician
Her mother, she is a judge
And I'm a no good for nothing
And I'm a millionaire
We haven’t got a lot of money
Since daddy took the trust fund away
But she's a girl in a million
And I'm a millionaire
She's a go getter
I had to go and get her
She ought to know better
Could do better
But I'm the one that she loves
Hey, hey, hey
My fortune cookies say
She's a girl in a million
And I'm a millionaire
Moonlight shines on you and me
Guides the sailors back from the sea
You try sleeping, but
All that you hear is
The steady slowing down of my heart
It's not that you get lazy
It's not about getting old
It's not that you get up in the morning
wishing you'd never woke
The car I drive was built to last
It does not go particularly fast
I'm in no great hurry
Is that the cause or the effect of
The steady slowing down of my heart?
It's not that I got lazy
It's not about getting old
It's just that there's no miracle cure
For getting used to someone
Now, Jimmy spends a fortune
Because he's down to twice a week
His shrink says
A crisis in mid-life is only natural
Julie got a facelift
You know, she's only 33
Jesus...
May I give thanks for Brigitte Bardot?
Moonlight shines on you and me
Guides the sailors back from the sea
As I lie sleeping
Am I silent or do you hear
The steady slowing down of my heart?
It's not that you get lazy
It's not about getting old
It's not that you get up in the morning
wishing you'd never woke
Julie was aroused by Jimmy's lack of self esteem
Her shrink said
When a man takes a mistress, it's often helpful
Jimmy asked for help and she was happy to oblige
His shrink said
Guess this was a bad year to quit smoking
