Laugh all that you like
at the miracle
that is love
and it's alright
to believe
that everyone
before you leave
before you go
you've got to know
before you kiss time right on the lips
right on the lips it's a miracle.

Unintouch
Incorporated
Separated at birth
but from nothing
that I know
but I'll tell you later
I'll tell you later
when I know for sure
And so we find our protagonist again
and he's in trouble it seems
though you may try to lend a helping hand
he says he'd much rather stay
there where he's lying all day

Jenny was a friend of my oh and she lived on the corner
She was in the sixth grade, I was in the fourth, she was older
With Jenny Endicott it didn’t matter at all
She was a real human being
So enlightened at such a young age
And now I see what it means:
Jenny always said
“You know, it’s such a waste of time to grow old!”
And Jenny Endicott said
“Take my hand and maybe we will go for a walk.”
Jenny was a friend, she sat with me in cafeteria
When I got sick with chickenpox she brought me soup and meals
We sat on the couch all day long watching infomercials on TV
The occasional day-time soap just to catch up on the story Jenny says
“Matty well you really should know, it’s such a waste of time to grow old.”
And Jenny Endicott said take my hand, maybe we will go for a walk.
Jenny Endicott said take my hand maybe it is time that we talked
And we walked…
She was in the 6th grade her parents said that it was time to move on
Her dad got a job in the Cities and it was a promotion
So farewell to this northern port, where Matty and his family live
We cried together under the porch, we held hands and kissed a little bit
Oh, now I’m alone, Jenny is somewhere yes I know
And I know
That Jenny Endicott was a friend of mine, put her hand and heart on the line
Jenny Endicott said “Take my hand hand, maybe we will go for a walk”
Jenny was a friend that I could count on
Jenny was the friend that I would count on
(Gibberish)
She helped with my day all the time
Jenny Endicott said “Take my hand,
Maybe we will go for a walk…”

I'll play homewrecker to your concubine
I'll do what you want me to do
I'll play homewrecker to your concubine
I'm here for you
I'm so in love with what we've got
not gonna call it love
know better than to
call it love
I'll play, oooohhh
I'll play homewrecker to your concubine
I'll do what you want me to do
I'll play homewrecker to your concubine
I'm here for you
I'm so in love with what we got
ain't gonna call it love
ain't gonna call it love
It all started when you were home for the holidays
a semester abroad had changed your ways
no more cat and mouse
you said come to your house
your parents were away
so I came
and I stayed
all night long
two nights strong
third night wrong
third night good night...
you were home again in June
we lay in a field staring at the moon
you leaned and kissed my cheek
we only had a week
and your parents were not away
so we had to evade
and i prayed every night for your release
I'd wait by the "T" in the field
no more cat and mouse
you said "I won't be at my house,
we'll meet in a field far away
we'll meet in a field far away
we'll meet in a field far away..."
you were home for the holidays
a semester abroad had changed your ways
no more cat and mouse
you said "come to my house!"
"my parents" you said "are away."
so I came
and I stayed
and I stayed
I'll play homewrecker to your concubine
I'll do what you want me to do
I'll play homewrecker to your concubine (listen)
I'm here for you
I'm here for you

Don't you care?!!
Don't you?!
Don't you?!
Don't you care?!!
The sad sick ache
that could be fake
or true as in love
what will it take
to know?
And not to know is more than you bear
even more than you care to take
And so you walk away
to the sad sick ache
to the sad sick ache
that could be fake
that could be fate
Don't walk away from love
Don't walk away
Don't walk away from love
Don't walk away
So few things are true
and if you don't make them
they just go away
like love and fate
(like love and fate)
(like love and fate)
Destiny, we had a date!
A time and place
cold street and late
so far from fate
and so good-bye good night good-bye good night
alone you go
turn and walk away
to the sad sick ache
that could be fake
it could be fate
you wanted fate
Don't walk away from love
Don't walk away
Don't walk away from love
Don't walk away
keep your heart upright and true
endeavor to in everything
and love will be your fate
Love will be your fate
Don't walk away from love
Don't walk away
Don't walk away from love
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
(Don't you dare to walk away!)
Don't walk away
(Don't you dare to walk away!)
Don't walk away
Don't you dare
Don't you care?
Don't walk away
Destiny, we had a date!
Don't you care?
like love and fate
(like love and fate)
(like love and fate)

I was alone in a room dancing with the lights out
I was at home and you said you might stop by
You let yourself in through the back door

Poopy Pants

(talking): Around about the time of the publication of the Gutenberg Bible, another book came out called "Till Eulenspiegel and his Pranks," and Till sold S-H-I-T.
Here's a song for all the kids
they all know it rhymes with it
and it starts with S-H shhhhh
S-H-I-T is poopy pants
Oh S-H-I-T is poop
S-H-I-T is crap
S-H-I-T is poopy pants, why is that so bad?
S-H-I- add a T is poopy pants, not on TV?
Well there's a notion among
the leaders of our country that dung
spelled a certain way is wrong
and you cannot say it on TV (or the radio)
Oh S-H-I-T is poop
S-H-I-T is crap
S-H-I-T is poopy pants, why is that so bad?
S-H-I- add a T
S-H-I-T is poopy pants

Why would you do that to someone you love?
Why would you do that to someone you love?
When hope and hate and envy they conspire on you
To make decisions that will bring you down and
Why would you do that to someone you love?
Why would you do that to someone you love?
I don’t know…
Why would you do that to someone you care for?
Why would you do that to someone you love?
When hope and hate and envy they conspire on you
To laugh and like guilt around you (gibberish)
Why would you do that to someone you love?
Why would you do that to someone you love?
I don’t know
You think you’ve got this game all wrapped up,
Said you’re done but that’s not all you’re cracked to do
All your love and oh your heart is true
But still I have to ask you:
Why would you do that to someone you love?
Why would you do that to someone you care for?
When hope and hate and envy they conspire on you
To say words that hurt so badly and
Why would you do that to someone you love?
Why would you do that to someone you love and care for?
Why would you do that to someone you love?
“I don’t love you anymore” she says, “that’s why.”
“I don’t love you anymore” she says, “that’s why.”

My Gift for You (2022)

So sad at Hanukkah
I was symptomatic
At Ramadan
I was in a panic
I was in a phase
just this side on manic
and then by Christmas Day
I forgot you
And though it may seem just a tad bit late
Here it is: My Gift for You
My Gift for You
I'm gonna wrap it up
you'll never know
what's inside
so go ahead and open it
it's just like my very inside
The holidays
they seemed so traumatic
I didn't sleep for days
I was smokin' in the attic
and yeah by Christmas Day
I forgot you
And though it may be just a tad bit late
Here it is: My Gift for You
My Gift for You
can't slap it down on a credit card
or pick it from the vine
so go ahead and open it
it's just like my very inside
Well it coulda been a doll or a windup train
Oh, Christmas day is gone and it's all the same so...
it might be just a little late, no?
Here it is: My Gift for You
