I Don't Mind

woke up this morning i had the blues in technicolor
all the leaves were brown and i knew that you found another lover
well the ones who have the most to hide will often show you everything
the ones who don't stay silent and close
don't you know it's the strangest thing
ch:
and if you're sad and you're wasted
and if you listen to oasis
if you need five hundred dollars for a bottle of wine
i don't mind
we're not so brilliant anymore but nothing really upsets me
the world won't hit me on my way out the door
nobody runs to try and catch me
the only vice that i've got left is apathy
i clutch it to my heart and it means so much to me
one of these days i'm going to have to do something about it
ch:
and if you need a shoulder to cry on
i hope it's not mine that you have your eye on
it's not my fault and baby i don't care
i don't mind
to make some sense of it all you spin elaborate fiction
but if the truth be told it plays out like a scene from "affliction"
with every day that passes you feel your chances fade
out of touch and out of step with the human parade
look in the mirror and wonder where your face went
ch:
and if you're sad and you're wasted
if you listen to oasis
if you need five hundred dollars for a bottle of wine
i don't mind
if you need a shoulder to cry on
i hope it's not mine that you have your eye on
it's not my fault and baby i don't care
i don't mind

Come And Go

they want to see the world through the window of a moving car
nothing's going to slow them down they'll have their way
they're going to swim beneath the waves of their consumable goods
the day will come when they will have to pay and pay
ch:
they come and they come and they come and they go
they come and they come and they come and they go
they come and they come and they come and they go
they come and they come and they come and they go
all the men who come to her window have got that look in their eyes
they want to see her now they don't care to know her name
she wonders how it is that people get so lonely
she hopes the thing she does will help to ease their pain
chorus
somebody somewhere is losing their mind
over something lost that they can't find
can't someone here tell a joke
i hear laughing
ha ha ha
we know the world's insane so how about a kiss from you
i need you strong beside me loyal steadfast true
i want you in my bed beside me at the end of the day
there's really nothing else that i would rather do

Arkansas

old glory at the shopping mall
we're lost this must be arkansas
stranded in the suburbs in the rain
and mutually in omaha
we pined for what we never saw
a place where life is good and stays the same
ch:
do you feel all alone here
where your world began
did you come back to find an answer
do you know who i am
the crackling airwaves field the calls
from mobile phones outside st. paul
the landscape like the seas upon the moon
and somewhere deep in wichita
the linemen standing straight and tall
they have a job to do they do it well
chorus
life is good here underwater
we watch what we eat and who we know
all safe in our suits they fit like a bubble
like carnival clowns or mimes in a factory line
chorus
and won't you take me to arkansas
that's a place i've never seen
and we need a small adventure
to live out our lives as in a dream

Blue

i walk a lonely street and hope that i might find you there
if we could just forget the things we said
i know that i still care
i'll just walk the dog and cry
learn to live with the sound of the word goodbye
a suitcase on the landing
does it mean that you have gone for good
a glass half full of misunderstanding
we don't always do the things we should
and you walk the dog and cry
learn to live with the sound of the word goodbye
feels so lonely if it's true
feels so lonely and blue
you think that living alone will give you things you never had
just try being alone when your thoughts are running sad
there's just the sound of your voice when you're down and feeling down
try leaving me now
see my eyes and watch what happens
i hear the words you're saying and i can hardly believe it
if we start again today i know i will never leave you
'cause i won't walk the dog and cry anymore
i can't stand the sound of the word goodbye
feels so lonely if it's true
feels so lonely and blue
i'm blue

The Forgotten
04:17

she's feeling vague and dangerous
by chemical arrangement
before the night is over
she'll drink until she's sober
one day begets another
in this long and lonely summer
she asks herself a question
is it always gonna be this way
he thinks he's sonny liston
fists pumping like a piston
he's bored and vaguely dangerous
but mostly to himself
and now he is the father
of somebody else's daughter
he didn't think that things
were going to turn out this way
ch:
come down crawl back to the wrong side of the track
let's drive downtown
we'll get stoned and run around
trans-love energy
fire the gun like arthur lee
and when we're through we'll all get higher
fate's a cunning little vixen
plays tricks like richard nixon
and gas is made for huffing
hey pass the krylon
so now they are together
it's the heaviest of weather
they'll drink and fuck forever
and that's how it's going to be
chorus

when is a house not a home
why do the buffalo roam
what is the meaning of this thing called love
you're looking at me
i'm looking at you
we're all just looking for something to do
try to make it past the crying time
ch:
you could be like somebody else
you could break my heart
you could say bang! goes the tenderness
you could leave like somebody else
make a brand new start
you could say bang! goes the tenderness
she's lounging in her bubble bath
she looks completely outrageous
points a finger like a trigger to my head
she know a big producer
the type that will seduce her
they have great sex
and i know it
ch:
you could be like somebody else
you could break my heart
you could say bang! goes the tenderness
you could leave with somebody else
make a brand new start
you could say bang! goes the tenderness
i guess i was born with a jealous mind
and what you seek you surely find
where do you go when you leave me
you could run me over with a truck
i'm not so sure i'd feel it
but late at night i smoke and stare at the ceiling
and i scream your name
you drive me nervous baby
i need to please you baby
i want to drive you right up the wall
run and jump and scream and shout
we're gonna let it all hang out
feels like something missing
just think of judas kissing
ch:
you could leave with somebody else
you could break my heart
you could say bang! goes the tenderness
you could sleep with somebody else
make a brand new start
you could say bang! goes the tenderness
the tenderness
bring me some tenderness
the tenderness
bring me some tenderness

the buick dared the twist and crawl
all the way from saginaw
just looking for some fun
they need some action right away
they hid the bottles on the floor
stumbling through the tunnel
and made it straight through customs
though their breath it reeked of gin
ch:
you lust for the fast cash
you come like a car crash
you do what you want
this is canadian clubland
so pick up the ladies
and grab the mercedes
everyone knows
this is canadian clubland
here's a club for gentlemen
surrounded by some special friends
singing songs by alabama
with a dancer on your knee
her name is madame jolie
you'll buy her a drink whenever she please
she'll take you like an occupying army
in the spring
chorus
like to spend your time between hallucinations
here's a place where you know who you know
need someone to face life's certain complications
here's a woman she knows what she knows
so you go...
it's getting frantic on the floor
'cause everyone needs more and more
here in sin city
it just gets better every day
so spin oh you spinning wheel
you can do whatever you feel
here in sin city
so much better in every way
chorus
you know you lust for the fast cash
you come like a car crash
you do what you want
this is canadian clubland
so pick up the ladies
and grab the mercedes
everyone knows
this is canadian clubland
let me out of this funhouse
i ain't no stooge
you do what you want
this is canadian clubland
if you stay here much longer
you got nothing to lose
everyone knows...
can you forgive them
they know not what they do

you never call me sweetie
when i whisper my entreaties
you wonder what i'm doing here
it's four in the morning
i want you undercover
i need you undercover
i want you for my lover here
it's four in the morning
ch:
tell me a secret
'cause i can't sleep
i'm in trouble
want to get in deeper
here in the gutter looking up at the stars
i can't tell my jupiter from my mars
it's to her i'm always running
'cause i find her simply stunning
scheherazade is in her eyes
she knows the kama sutra
i feel so convoluted
there is no consolation prize
ch:
oh help me tonight big priest of love
oh help me tonight big priest of love
got a stack of al green records
alleged lucky buddah
we'll turn the lights down real low
come her my little queenie
you're magnificent i mean it
let's wreck the sheets till morning comes
chorus
oh help me tonight big priest of love
oh help me tonight big priest of love
oh help me tonight big priest of love
oh help me tonight big priest of love
