RATHER PANIC
When Things go wrong
we might complain
and we will say
things have to change
What people say
is not the same
as what they do
Most of the time
for things to change
we'd rather wait
'till it's too late
Some people claim
that love makes
the world go 'round
I don't want to
think about it
love will solve
all my problems
and if that doesn't work
I can always
just panic
All you need is a crisis
to make the world go round
All you need is a crisis
to make the world go round
when Things go wrong
we tend to say
somebody else
ought to be blamed
what people say
does not always
make much sense
Some people claim
that love makes
the world go 'round
All you need is a crisis
to make the world go round
All you need is a crisis
to make the world go round

Maybe I'm Ugly

MAYBE I’M UGLY
Sell me plastic Shoes
With Molded seams
Polyester underwear
And stretchy jeans
I'm standin' in the cold
And I can't get in
No meat packers stamp
On my skin
Maybe I'm Ugly
I can't fit in
Maybe I'm Ugly
Don't deserve to live
Maybe I'm ugly
Can't be behind glass
All I can get
is a paper bag
Maybe I'm a criminal
Out of control
Maybe My mind
Is full of holes
Maybe I'm Ugly
I can't fit in
Maybe I'm Ugly
Don't deserve to live
Maybe I'm poor
You can rip me off
Make me a slave
At a low pay job
Maybe I'm old
weary and thin
Feed me dog food
Straight from the tin
Maybe I'm Ugly
I can't fit in
Maybe I'm Ugly
Don't deserve to live

SHELLFISH BEACH
oh shell
oh crispy thing
protective armor
spat up by the tides
lodged on the beach
between land and sea
oh shell
oh hollow bell
pressed to my ear
to hear the siren sing
who would swallow the ocean
rather than learn to swim
oh shell
oh sunken reef
no feet to set on land
might rip a hull
to express some grief
salty and drowning
and somehow never ending

Lonesome Cowboy Blues

LONESOME COWBOY BLUES
I'm a lonesome cowboy
and I have got the blues
I squint into sunsets
my shoes are always full of dirt
I get piss drunk
and fall down at dances
I am a drifter
I don't want to go home
'cause I have done somebody wrong
and now I have to pay the dues
he's a cowboy
and he's sorry
and he wants to shake
hands with you
there is sand in my salad
and manure on my boots
my heart is broken
that's why I always wander
my home is the highway
or a crowded smokey bar
I pace back and forth
across the lone prarie
'cause I have done somebody wrong
and now I have to pay the dues
he's a cowboy
and he's lonely
and he wants to
dance with you

Why Don't You Want Me?

WHY DON'T YOU WANT ME?
Why don't you want me?
I'll give you anything that you ask for
Why don't you want me?
... you want
I'll give you anything that you ask for
Liver
I'll give you my heart and soul
I'll give you my everything
What could I change to make you love me?
Make Me love you...
What could I change to make you love me?
Make Me love you...
I'll give you anything that you ask for
Anything and everything
just give it to me
Anything and everything
just give it to me
If I couldn't have you my life would be so empty
Can't you see we were made for each other
I would change everything about myself
until you couldn't recognize me
Liver, liver, liver,liver
I would change everything about myself
until you couldn't recognize me
