Reaching out in wonder to the world beyond
With arms too short to satisfy a curiosity so strong
Day by day the beckoning a silent beacon calls
From inklings of infinity to dreams beyond these walls
I wandered beyond the stone today
Tomorrow the avenue
And someday I may fly away
To that place they call the moon
Many are the windows under lock so little means
But in an infants hands may lie the keys of destiny
Marvel at the wonder of the endless world beyond
And explore the possibilities of mysteries not yet known
I wandered beyond the stone today
Tomorrow the avenue
And someday I may fly away
To that place they call the moon
Instinctive the desire
Insatiable the quest
Though the mind will journey freely
It's imprisoned by the flesh
I wandered beyond the stone today
Tomorrow the avenue
And someday I may fly away
To that place they call the moon
Someday I may just fly away
To that place they call the moon

I'm not gonna turn into Jonathan Mann
---------------------------------------------------
I've written songs by the hundreds
But it took me a good thirty years
There's a fella who's done
what I've done
Every trip 'round the Sun
And it drives me to tears!
Hey Jonathan Mann!
The Song-a-day man!
How do you do it?
Is there some kind of plan?
My life is so busy
I've often asked "is he
a clone or the name of a clan?"
I wanna be just like Jonathan Mann
So I put my nose to the grindstone
To craft me some ditties to sing
And I guess you could say
That the stuff that I play
Has some sway
But it ain't got that swing
Hey Jonathan Mann!
The Song-a-day man!
How do you do it?
Is there some kind of plan?
I've got places to see,
And I love D&D
So I budget my time as I can
It's harder than <<quack>> to be Jonathan Mann
[bridge... Jonathan Mann voiceover]
I ain't got a song-a-day in me
I'm sure as hell no Superman
Though I try as I might
My output's a fright
That's alright
I'll just do what I can
Hey Jonathan Mann!
The Song-a-day man!
How do you do it?
Is there some kind of plan?
I've got volumes to read
And a long Twitter feed
And I've gotta get through all this spam
So I'm not gonna turn into Jonathan Mann

======
I met a man and he asked me for water
Though it was obvious I was a daughter of shame
I did not know his name
I met a man and he told me my story
Married five times and now living with one I'd not wed
I hung down my head
Who was this man that so knew me?
How could he see through the lies to my sorrow?
Why did he want to speak to me
I didn't know
I didn't know
I met a man and he offered me water
So I'd never thirst and could then be a daughter of God
A daughter of God
I met a man and he gave his life for me
Now I tell everyone come share his water of life
To stop tears and strife
Who was this man that so knew me?
How could he see through the lies to my sorrow?
Why did he want to speak to me
I didn't know
I didn't know
Who was this man that so knows me?
How can he see through the lies to my sorrows?
Why would he want to speak to me?
I didn't know
He loved me so
I didn't know
He loves me so.

Wouldn't Have
Heather Miller
[sitar intro]
I wouldn't have done it
If I'd known he was crazy
I wouldn't have flown
Before he woke up
Norwegian wood costs a lot to install
After the fire I've got nothing at all
My wool rug is gone
It was a gift from my mom
The clock that kept time
Was not even mine
First shift in the morning is quite hard enough
But some lug sleeping in my tub makes the showering rough.
[sitar interlude]
I thought it would be fun
To bring home someone
Now I know why
I shouldn't have done it.
[sitar outro]

A dreary harvest day
Just west of the sea
Beside the Law and Tay
You will find me
A shelter from the storm
Is some corrugated iron
With a bit of chimney pipe
And paint pot filled with fire
Will keep me warm...
Will keep me warm...
And The God of All Small Boys
is looking down
is looking down
The God Of All Small Boys
is looking down
is looking down
On me...
Listen, you can hear
The echoes of a war
Our fathers shed their blood
There is nothing more
That we hold dear...
That we hold dear...
And The God of All Small Boys
is looking down
is looking down
The God Of All Small Boys
is looking down
is looking down
On me...
On me...
[bridge voiceover by Joe Lamb]
See, he's the one who keeps us from breaking our necks every two minutes.
Or sometimes lets us find pennies in the gutter.
He invented fireworks and dogs and sticks and horses and mudge-puddles
He's the one who keeps us safe.
The God of All Small Boys
is looking down
is looking down
The God Of All Small Boys
is looking down
is looking down
On me...
On me...
On me...
On me...

Teeth
Marlon Barnes
I know I've never been too good at brushing after every meal
and I know I never floss
my mother always told me son, be careful what you don't do
inactions have a cost.
this wiggle's getting worrysome
I'm feeling my bicuspids falling out my gums
Chorus:
I'm spitting teeth,
my white and pearlies
flow like fountains
I'm spitting teeth
my mouth now has a vacancy
If I'm asleep
I hope I wake up and get out real soon
so I can go brush continuously
Verse 2:
I've always liked mashed potatoes and apple sauce
butterscotch pudding and ice cream
I've never been too good at chewing my food
and now my problem's only worsening
No more chicken or cake
a bowl of jello does not a sandwich, make
and I hoped one day to get an appreciation for steak
Chorus:
I'm spitting teeth,
my white and pearlies
flow like fountains
I'm spitting teeth
my mouth now has a vacancy
If I'm asleep
I hope I wake up and get out real soon
so I can go brush continuously
bridge:
left and right up and down (slow to fast)
left and right up and down (fast to slow)
left and right up and down (slow)
left and right up and down (fast)
left and right up and down (slow to fast)
left and right up and down (fast to slow)
circular motion
circular motions
(gargling) (spit)
Chorus:
I'm spitting teeth,
my white and pearlies
flow like fountains
I'm spitting teeth
my mouth is getting a vacancy
If I'm asleep
I hope I wake up and get out real soon
so I can go brush continuously

Sexy In The Rain
by Inverse T. Clown
==============
You out-beautiful a sunset
All the colors at your back
Your aesthetics are beyond them
Deeper than the zodiac
And I know, I know
It sounds a little strange
'Cause you look good in the twilight
But you're sexy in the rain
You look stunning in the starlight
You look lovely by the moon
Still, I'd rather have a dark night
Hope that storm is coming soon
And I know, I know
It sounds a little strange
'Cause you look good in the moonlight
But you're sexy in the rain
As the storm begins to cloud break
Leaving moisture in the air
There's a rainbow that the dawn makes
Even that cannot compare
And I know, I know
It sounds a little strange
'Cause you look good in the sunlight
But you're sexy in the rain

On the Waterfront
04:11
|

My heart is heavy
My lids are closed
I've been lost on the roads I chose
Way too many times
I've talked to myself
All evening, no reply
Questions come quicker than answers lately
And the morning doesn't come at all
So you're gonna be leaving
You wanna be free
To start a new life
Where the land meets the sea
Where the tide hasn't time
To dampen your dreams
Where your heart rarely captures
Any glimpses of me
On the waterfront
Sand and sail as far as the eye can see
There on the waterfront
Where the feeling of freedom is too good to believe
Where there's wind and there's waves and plenty of space
A routine and a dream to get lost in for days
On the waterfront
[instrumental break]
My heart is heavy
My eyes are closed
And I've cut myself on this thorny rose
One too many times
I talked to myself
All evening, no reply
Questions come quicker than answers lately
And the morning doesn't come at all
So you tell me you're leaving
You wanna be free
To start a new life where the land meets the sea
Where the tide hasn't time to dampen your dreams
Where your heart rarely captures any glimpses of me
On the waterfront
Sand and sail as far as the eye can see
There on the waterfront
Where that feeling of freedom is too good to believe
Where there's wind and there's waves and plenty of space
A routine and a dream to get lost in for days
So you'll never be leaving
You'll always be free
To start a new life where the land meets the sea
Where the tide hasn't time to dampen your dreams
Where you barely remember what we used to be
On the waterfront

I had a dream last night
In which everything wrong in my life went right
And much to my surprise
It was a quick transition
It played out so vividly
That's it's hard to describe what it did to me
Suffice to say I took it
As a premonition
Today's the day I get a move on
Today's the day I change
Today's the day that I improve on
Who I am and everything I do:
Today's the day that I break up with you
Just stop and think about
All the times I gave in so that we'd work out
If you look at the score
I think I tip the balance
But you prob'ly think that's great
'Cause you take and you drain and manipulate
I guess every succubus
Is gonna have those talents
Today's the day that I get angry
Today's the day I fight
Today's the day that I harangue
The telling-off that's way past overdue:
Today's the day that I break up with you
Don't look at me like that
With your cute pouting lips and your big, sad eyes
You're pretty, but you're pretty much a bitch
It's time for you to see
That the world is the world universally
And nowhere does it say
That you can run my planet
So you take our history
And your need for control and co-misery
And brace yourself real good
Then go ahead and cram it
Today's the day that I'm the victor
Today's the day I win
Today's the day I do your sister
Here's a toast to starting life anew:
Today's the day that I wake up
It's time to say I've had enough
Today's the day that I break up with you

It's time for me to say goodnight to the sun
It's time for me to say goodnight to the sun
Goodnight Sun!
Sleep tight, Sun!
In the morning I will rise
Brush the sleep out of my eyes
And thank you for the light
Goodnight Sun
It's time for me to say good night to the moon
It's time for me to say good night to the moon
Good night, Moon!
Thank you for the light, Moon!
In the morning I will rise
Brush the sleep out of my eyes
And then you can sleep tight
Goodnight, Moon
It's time for me to say good night to the world
It's time for me to say good night to the world
Good night, World!
I hope we treat you right, World!
In the morning I will rise
Brush the sleep out of my eyes
And watch you come alive
Goodnight, World
It's time for me to say good night to you all
It's time for me to say good night to you all
Good night, all!
I love you with all my might, all!
In the morning I will rise
Brush the sleep out of my eyes
And greet you with a smile
Goodnight, all!
It's time for me to say good night to God
It's time for me to say good night to God
Good night, God
Thank you for my life, God
In the morning I will rise
Brush the sleep out of my eyes
And pray you'll make me wise
Goodnight, God.
