Impossible Love
03:01
|
|||
|
You hurt me so bad
You were the best friend I ever had
Now I'm crawling in my shoes
Trying to get back to you
Impossible love
I just can't get to you
Impossible love
I'm tangled up in you
You left me so long
I can remember the times
How we really cared
All the dreams that we shared
Impossible love
I just can't get to you
Impossible love
I'm tangled up in you
My life just goes on
And what have I become?
You were the only one
You were my shining sun
Impossible love
I just can't get to you
Impossible love
I'm tangled up in you
I just can't believe that it's all over
I just want a chance to see you again
To see you again
You were my one true love

Funeral Girl
04:33
|

I knew a girl at the funeral
She said she was dead
She always said it would never work out
I was a body at the funeral
She had her hands all over me
She always said we would meet again
At night she whispered at the funeral
Such fright, could thus really be the end?
I always thought I’d be happy
Layin’ in the casket at the funeral
No one would comment at the grave
She really said that she loved me
It’s been a long time since the funeral
I always thought I’d be remembered
She’s laying flowers at the tombstone
Next time you go to a funeral
You may see her at the door
Don’t mention me, she’ll get irate
I love a girl at the funeral
Everyone at my hometown knew about it
They always talk about how it’s funny
They really should do away with funerals
You ain’t really dead, this I swear
They take all your money and they leave you there to rot
I love the funeral girl
Funeral girl I love you with all my heart
Funeral girl I love you from the start
Every time I saw you it was really excellent
Every time we touched, my funeral girl
Funeral girl, I love you from the start
Funeral girl, I love you with all my heart
Funeral girl, may we never be apart
My funeral girl
Funeral girl, I love you from the start
Funeral girl, I really love your art
Nothing ever happens, nothing really matters much to me
Eee oh oh woo oooh
I love that funeral girl

Dream Scream
05:46
|

|
I'm having dreams about you
I wanna scream about you
Im having dreams about you
I wanna scream about you
Everything you have done
You were the girl
Who seemed to own the world
Everything was about you
I took a chance to call you my own
I didn't know a thing about you
Thought you could love
What a fool I was
Whats going on
I was just singing my song
Theres something mad about you
I took it wrong
You like my song
Why couldn't I have you
Crazy dream you done me wrong
You left me long
I couldn't stand to chance without you
You said the love was dead
And in my head
I just couldn't believe it
And on the phone you said
You never knew me at all
Thought there was love
What a fool I was
And everything was in hyper-jinx
Just like an old time movie
You don't understand
Can't comprehend
I guess it doesn't really matter
And every dream a nightmare
And nothing really matters
I thought I was Loved
What a fool I was
Having dreams about you
Having dreams about you
Having dreams about you
Having dreams about you

Love Forever
04:08
|
|||
|
She's sleeping around
Running all over town
She's doubting it so
She can't even smile
She's thinking about
She don't even know
She's hating it so
I can't let her go
She's walking away
I cherish the day
We were together
Fair was the weather
We were running so fast
There really was no past
I'm thinking about our yesterday
We were the best for each other
We were in love forever
I haven't given up
It's been fifteen years
I haven't spoken to her for so long
We had it all
Before we took a fall
We really had love
Though it's all gone away
There's nothing to say
There's nothing to do
There's nowhere to go
There's nothing to show
There's nothing to know
It's all been said
Our love is dead

You were forever my girl
I was forever your man
We always had a real good time
Oh, Cathy Cline
You were a princess from above
Our hearts were filled with love
We always had a real good time
Cathy Cline
I saw you in the town of Abilene
You were the prettiest girl I ever seen
I told you about Laurie Allen

Davinare
03:14
|
|||
|
March, Friday, or Saturday
Art show night with Ron English
Says I'm a worthless bum
You know they call me a worthless bum
You know I've had my share of chums
But I'm a worthless bum says I
You might thinking of davinare
You might be thinking of things that scare
Whatever you're thinking, I don't care
To be stripped bare
Worthless bum says I
I never denied a precious gift
You know I probably stole all my riffs
But I'm a worthless bum says I
Oh, can't you see?
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
Every move you make
You know if things get out of hand
You know I'm the one who understands
Without or with you I'm just doin, doin fine
You know I probably stole all my poetry
Even they took the most of it from me
But I will go on through the infinity
Believing the lie
Worthless bum says I
You know that I hear is pretty good
Understand I'm a worthless bum
Worthless bum says I
You know I never tried to rip you off
Never tried to take your life
Worthless bum says I
If you were me
And I was you
Then everything's all right
We're out of sight
Worthless bum
Worthless bum
Worthless bum says I

Party
05:18
|
|||
|
Don't wanna scare you
Don't wanna waste you
Just kind of like a show
When you may find yourself alone with the
Suicide rock 'n' roll
We all stand amazed
And often gaze at
Those we love so true
But you may take them all away
As you stare into the mirror
Sayin' hey, what does it mean
To live in this world
When we're all so very crazy
And maybe
There's plenty of time to party
Party
Party
Everyone sues and sings the blues
While deep inside our minds
God keeps us happy with
A little bit of love
To comprehend as the road bends
Showin' us life anew
Some may say it's the same as any day
But who the heck are you?
Sayin' hey, what does it mean
To live in this world
When we're all so very crazy
And maybe
There's plenty of time to party
Party
Party
A silly dream and after thought
Plenty of those you got
But when you find yourself In the rain
There's no reason to complain
Up in the morning, with the sunshine
As the drama unfolds
And you may find yourself alone with the
Magic radio
Singin' hey, what does it mean
To live in this world
When we're all so very crazy
And maybe
There's plenty of time to party
Party
Party
There's nothing left of your depression
As long as you're entertained
Sometimes it's best just to lose
Than to play the same old sorry game
Love is alive in all of you
And never will decay
Another day or so, they say
May all your dreams come true
Singin' hey, what does it mean
To live in this world
When we're all so very crazy
And maybe
There's plenty of time to party
Party, party, party, party, party, party, party
Party, party, party, party, party, party, party
Thank you

Well, a message to all you hicks out there
Every time you stop and stare
At things you don't really understand
And you think you own your own land
You might
But there ain't nothing else nowhere
There's never been a thing anyplace
There isn't any face you've never seen
There isn't any dream that you know
'Cause you don't know much
An you never been any place much
'Cept for your own
I'm some else from nowhere
I come to your house to scare
I'm gonna tell you now, right now
You've nothing more to fear but fear
Love is alive
Love ain't no jive
God is alive
Love ain't no jive
No jive
So you better listen up in here
You better think about your darling dear
You better think about the good
And you better do right
Or I'll fight cha all night
I'm a spook that cha don't really like

Girl of my Dreams
04:33
|
|||
|
Memories like leaves are fallin'
On the ground and soon to be forgotten
We had it all for about a long time
But the long time is far gone
And the yesterdays have all faded away
Yes, the yesterdays have all faded away
Seems like not so long ago
I kissed you on that Holy Night
You seemed to like it
You said there'd be trouble
I really did love you
Only because
You were the girl of my dreams
Girl of my dreams
I had you in there in eternity
Just you and me just like it was
I know for sure you really did love me
But then again, you acted bothered
She had a split personality
She loved me, and she hated me
Must be some sort of mysterious love affair
The monster and the girl
Then one night when it was really over
I told her that I really loved her
She acted surprised and said
"That's all right"
She was the girl of my dreams
Girl of my dreams
And all along you knew my secret
I was after love and pretty much desperate
I kissed you once, and I was changed for life
It was paradise, yes, and that's what I like
You were my love
Somewhat
If only I could touch
But once again, I remind you
My love was strong, and only for you
My only wish is that you love me true
You really must get in touch with me soon
You were my Virgin Queen of Rock 'N' Roll
You were the girl of my dreams
Girl of my dreams

Billions
07:11
|
|||
|
Ahh
There were millions of people
And they all came to hear me play
Billions and billions of people
In the audience from all over the world
I was a thousand years old
Been playing rock and roll music all my life
People like to come hear me rock
Put on a show
That night was special
I was really feeling good
I told them all I loved them
And there’s nothing like rock and roll bizness
Billions and billions of people
Well my baby loves to rock
My baby she’s my best baby
Every bit a baby she’s a baby she’s my best baby
When I met my baby I was just 19
I thrilled to my life I couldn’t believe her
She was so beautiful I saw her with my eyes
And I saw her and I wouldn’t leave her
And I never forget her
My baby
My baby married an undertaker
What grief
My baby I always seen her
When I was walking down the street
In every house in every store
In every mirror she was there
Someday gonna get her
Someday gonna have her
Someday gonna get her
That’s what I’m waiting for
I’m gonna get her
Gonna thrill to my life
I’m going to get her

Thrill
03:22
|

|
She was a thrill, she took my will
I would do anything to appease her appetite
She was my love, I was amazed
She would do anything to humor me in her way
She was the one I chose
At very first sight
She took my breath away
And led me to paradise
Inside my mind, she was so kind
I would unwind, she said the greatest lines
And so I learned of many things
I sat at the piano singing about her
For a thousand years
A cold, hard world was understood
There wasn’t nothin’
That hadn’t passed my way
I was still in love with her
I didn’t know what to say
Took a million miles get this far
And though my love was inspired
I’d see her again someday
If I had my own way
Oh what a dream it was
A realistic dream
Trying to remember her
What was going down
You were my star, you truly are
You are everything I ever imagined so far
At some of the best times we really had some fun
We were just standing in line with a love most true
I conquered her wicked heart
I certainly must prevail
Oh, what a turn-on
I desperately can not fail
Oh, oh what a thrill
Oh, oh what a thrill
Oh, oh what a thrill
Oh, oh what a thrill
Yeah

Favorite Darling Girl
02:14
|
|||
|
Just then she talks too loud
She says I’m not allowed
To do this or that
Nothing left to do
Love never comes or goes
Feelings never really show
What will become of us?
No one really knows
She’s back in a little while
Trying to make me smile
I’m lost in the dark
Walking lonely miles
Seems how the years go by
No need to wonder why
Never had a chance to think
It’s all over now…
Memories were wearing thin
I never wore a grin
I guess I just forgot
All had gone to rot
Said she had wrecked my world
My favorite darling girl
Can’t find me a friend
Guess I lost again
|

She was only just a girly
She was only just a girl
There was sometime spent in heaven
She was only just a friend
Played piano in her basement
She was only just a friend
She was always looking at me
She was always talking on
There was some time spent in heaven
I was always feeling alright
There was always something to do
There was some time spent in heaven
She was always talking at me
There was some time spent in heaven
We'd drive around all the time
We were always having fun
We'd drive around to the movie theater
We were always having fun
There was some time spent in heaven
We were always running around
I knew for sure she was alright
And somehow I had won the fight
We spent time alone
We had a good time

Wedding Ring Bells Blues
02:58
|
|||
|
Wedding ring bells have got me down
Wedding ring bells have got me the blues in this town
She was young, and I was free
I really thought that she could help me
But the blues walked in, and I told her way back when
I told her
I can’t take it no more
I just can’t take it no more
Wedding ring bells have sent me to hell
Wedding ring bells have got me the blues that might sell
She was my love and I was her man
We really seemed to understand
But the blues walked in, some kind of family plan
And I was out
I just can’t take it no more
I just can’t take it no more
Wedding ring bells have got me sad somehow
Wedding ring bells, all my suffering and how
She was a beauty and I was in love
I told her that I really loved her, what more could I do
But the blues walked in, another man for her again
Oh no, I just can’t take it no more
I just can’t take it no more
Wedding ring blues have got me paranoid
Wedding ring bells, beware of the void
(It could happen again)
If it was love I was giving, all the music I was making
I had to surrender to her evil game
And the blues walked in, and I wanted to be famous
So I went
I just can’t take it no more
Take it no more
Wedding ring bells

I Lose
03:13
|
|||
|
She invited me to a pity party
Every hour everyone was making fun of me
I told her it really didn’t matter
You can’t imagine what it’s done to my personality
I don’t know where she should go, but I lose
Though I tried, like a lullaby, I lose
Once I saw her in a crazy dream
She was laughing, I looked the other way
Then I find that she unwinds, she puts me down behind my back
Everyone seems to have a love but me, it’s what I lack
I’ve been denied the hurt inside, I lose
Though she was barely a friend of mine, I lose
I got left out of the “in” crowd
They speak as if I was there
They say the cruelest things, I seen their type
A bunch of buttwipes that rule
Don’t make sense, it’s really strange, I lose
Though I try, there’s no sense giving up, I lose
I walk the second mile, there’s no one there, I lose
I pick up the pieces of my broken dream, I lose
Everyone had their fun, I lose
Yet she was a one of them from the beginning
How am I to carry on, there’s no help given
Then I realize it’s all reoccurrence
What they’re thinking, their mind is a blur
I seen the future, and I ain’t even there, I lose
I see it all, and it’s really, the same old thing, I lose
They think they’re smart, all huddled together, I lose
One more time, I try to make it, I lose
I lose, I lose
Tell me about it, darlin’, now
