The Four Seasons (demo)

the four seasons
winter time
love fell down on me
she and i, in a coat so warm
we made angels in the snow
and we saw our own haloes
glowing in the moon at night
and the moon was shining bright
on us
spring time
buds were on the trees
she and i
on a bed evergreen
we slept under the stars
i saw saturn taking mars
i felt venus upon us
and the stars shone bright on us
and the northern lights
summer time
brings the heat and haze
she and i underneath the waves
the waves
swimming back and forth
garden was our street then
hidden was our beach then
and i was so free then
and i was . . .
autumn
leaves fell from the trees
she and i
hoar frost in our dreams
in our dreams
walking on the trail home
knowing i was not alone
winter coming with her cold
when love first fell down like snow
and i know . . .freeeeeeee
i got a job
at a hamburger stand
sometimes driving a van
(or a truck)
for a man
and it seems somehow
all this work
it took its toll
i lost her

she’s my baby
my little girl
i love her and i need her
more than this whole world
kiss me once or twice on the lips
oh, that’s nice, and she’s my girl
she’s my baby
my little one
and she works her little fingers
right down to the bone
kiss me once or twice on the lips
oh, that’s nice
now work those little fingers to the bone
baby i’m ready
she’s my baby
my little boo
and i ride her up and down around the bluff
till she says whoop-dee-loo
kiss me once or twice on the lips
oh, that’s nice
work those little fingers to the bone and she’s my girl
she’s my baby

Lost My Head (demo '97)
03:38
|
|

I lost my head but I don't want to talk about it
I lost my way but I don't want to discuss it
You're hanging around and you're making my life a mess
And everyone is an accomplice
I don't expect from you
I don't expect a thing
All I know is I don't want to talk about it
Let's not talk about it (gibberish)
I lost my head but I don't want to talk about it
I look at the wall and I just want to shout at it
You tell me to do this and I just want to quit it
You tell me I'm a malcontent just a little misfit
I don't expect from you
I don't want a thing
Maybe some peace and quiet
A couple of other things
All I know is I don't want to talk about it
Let's not talk about it
I don't want to talk about it
I lost my head but I don't want to talk about it
I lost my way but I don't want to discuss it
You're hanging around and you're making my life a mess
And everyone is an accomplice
I don't expect from you
I don't want a thing
Maybe some peace and quiet
A couple of other things
All I know is I don't want to talk about it
Let's not talk about it
I don't want to eat
I don't want to sleep
I don't want to talk about it
We should talk about it
What you talkin' 'bout Willis

Be a Good Sport (improv)
01:47
|

I ain't gonna to like you
cause you got a long board
I ain't gonna like you
cause your haircut's short
I'm only going to like you
if you're a good sport
if you're a good sport
well that means you wont cry
when I break your heart
well well yer a good sport
if you're a good sport
you'll get on that board and you will ride
I seen ya hangin'
around my school
I thought you seemed
pretty cool
not with your big board
just seemed like a good sport
you smiled all the time
you chuckled too
you were pulling faces
in the Red Room
and now I know
you ain't a good sport
gotta be a good sport
which means ya don't cry
when I break your heart
you wont cry
just get on your board
and you will ride
you'll get on your board
and you will ride

Trains they stop
Trains they go
People they get hurt
Trains they stop
yes they do
But they go on too
It's fun to stop
It's fun to go
But it's no fun to get hurt
Yes I've seen them stop
And I've seen them go
And seen them all get hurt
I've seen them cry
I've heard it too
Feeling better
Feeling blue
I've seen them stop!
Seen them stop!
Yeah.

Love is in the air
See it everywhere
Falling form the trees like autumn leaves
I'm one of them
See it in the sky
Stop to wonder why
Don't need a weatherman to see I'm lonely
Someone told me something 'bout a lover (yeah!)
That they once had
Treated her just like she wanted
But it was inanimate
I don't want to live like that
I'd really rather have someone
To have and hold and be a friend
Until we grow so very old
Whew!
Love is in the air
You see it in the trees
Blowing in the breeze
And I need a weatherman
Falling from the sky
It gets caught in your eye
Why oh why must I spend my
whole life alone?!
Someone told me something 'bout a lover (yeah!)
That they once had
Treated her just like she wanted
But it was inanimate
I don't want to live like that
I'd really rather have someone
To have and hold and be a friend
Until we grow so very old
Wooo-hooo!
Love is in the air
See it everywhere
Falling form the trees like autumn leaves
I'm one of them
Welcome to the sky
I stop and wonder why
Why oh why must I always be alone?

Fast Friends (demo 2)
01:52
|
|||
I never ever wanted to be anything other than your friend
Maybe you could explain to me
Help me understand what happened
I never ever wanted to be anything other than your friend
Then you opened up my eyes
to the consolation prize
Right there before that mirror
I knew I liked you a lot
And I'd never get bored
Fast friends
Fast friends
I never ever wanted to be anything other than your friend
Your....

Tired of trying blues
baby tired of trying
baby tired of pain
baby tried a suitcase
baby try to can of paint
baby tried a can of the good stuff
the good ship lollipop
we’re all little devils
in our roles as earthly things
we’ve all got our demons
we’ve all got our dreams
Cling to those dreams and they’ll keep you up all night
that’s all right cause when you wake up you won’t remember a word
We all crave it
we all needs it too.
So said my guy Lonnie
He was talking about love out back by the woodshed
It’s always good Craic with Lonnie
Till he gets a little mad
It’s always good Craic with Lonnie
Till he gets so very mad.
“Can you believe the nerve!?”
Baby tired of trying
Baby’s got the tired of trying blues
and it’s a real kick
it’s a real snare
and it’s a real floor
and it’s a real door.
You can walk out anytime you want
can you believe the nerve?

I'm so mad at myself
And I'm mad at you too
Because I let you play me
Like I'm some kind of fool
And you know i ain't a fool
But things are gonna change before too long
and here's the proof
'Cause I don't want to wait around just to learn
You've been untrue
Fare thee well
Good-bye
Here's mud in your eye
I'm done
Oh yes, I'm done
I'm so mad at my mom
And she's mad at me too
'Cause I never come home
When I'm done with school
(And I know I ain't a fool)
But things are gonna change before too long
and here's the proof
'Cause I don't want to wait around just to learn
That I've been duped
Oh Mom, please, won't you forgive me
I'm here!
I'm here for you
Love is a funny thing (Let's talk about cars)
I'm so mad at my car
It's mad at me too
'Cause I drive it so hard
And I never have it tuned
Oh I never have it tuned!
But I don't want to drive you into the ground oh it's true
Yeah I will change your oil and brake fluid before fall's through
Please forgive me
I'm on a new path
I'll wash you
Yeah, I'll give you a bath
(That's all I wanted to say, that's all I wanted to say.)
