like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
like any hotblooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave

 but you you're not allowed
you're uninvited
an unfortunate slight

must be strangely exciting
to watch the stoic squirm
must be somewhat heartening
to watch shepherd meet shepherd

but you you're not allowed
you're uninvited
an unfortunate slight

like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
you speak of my love like
you have experienced love like mine before

but this is not allowed
you're uninvited
an unfortunate slight

I don't think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate

Still (Dogma OST)

And I love you still And I love you still






Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love) (De-Lovely OST)

Birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

In Spain, the best upper sets do it
Lithuanians and Letts do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it
Not to mention the Fins
Folks in Siam do it - think of Siamese twins

Some Argentines, without means, do it
People say in Boston even beans do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

Romantic sponges, they say, do it
Oysters down in oyster bay do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it
Even lazy jellyfish, do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

Electric eels I might add do it
Though it shocks em I know
Why ask if shad do it - Waiter bring me
"shad roe"

In shallow shoals English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

Pollyanna Flower (Thank you single)

Between a broken nose and a fake smile

Between the piety and gun-powder

Between the fighting and fleeing the scene

Between murder and diplomacy

Between agression and oblivion

Between brutal and realistically well-behaved

Between the screaming and pulling in the reins

Between tiptoeing and ambling 

What am I to do with all this fire?

(I'd like to hit you but I'd never hit you)

Would you stay with me in this respect?

(I'd like to slap you but I'd never slap you)

Between violence and silently seething

Between my fist and my pollyanna flower

Between fuck you to your face and it's alright

Between war and denial 

Between flying vases and secretly weeping

Between lose cannons and ever downplaying

Between bruises and nobley differing

Between bursting and boiling

What am I to do with all this burning?

(I'd like to hurt you but I'd never hurt you)

Do I overwhelm you in this place?

(I'd like to kill you but I'd never kill you) 

Between violence and silently seething

Between my fist and my pollyanna flower

Between fuck you to your face and it's alright

Between war and denial 

What am I to do with all this fire?

Can you understand me in this place? 

London (Unsent single)

Bogainvillas to fall in to the pool

The hard shelled bugs bite my forearm

my right index fingernail chewed to the quick

my cervix is a long scalene

my sprinklers go off at 6pm each day and sometimes they spray unsuspecting visitors

my pimples are gooses all over my legs

my brow is furrowed and my vision is blurred

and how I do love London

and how I do love London

the birds make guttural sounds and protect me

my friends come to visit and love me a lot

I don't have the energy to fill them in

I am lagged by the jet and 12 hour flight

and how I do love London

and how I do love London

i am intrigued by the boys with the androdonus songs

sometimes they rhyme sometimes they rhyme not

the steam will smell of eucalyptus in the shower

the hug will feel forced upon you inconsolable thing

and how I do love London

and how I do love London

deep breaths will not make my brain stand still to be loved and swallowed or single and depraved i love speaking French to the taxi drivers we slept and were cold on the train out of France

and how I do love London

and how I do love London

Symptoms (Hands Clean single two)

a missile sent today

killed only 3

the rest were saved

they're far enough away

to not really feel the direct effect on me

they caught him today

based ridiculously

on his race

they weren't sure

he even did it

but they needed a random face

are these symptoms, symptoms of a simpler cause

I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing we are

separate we are separate

disconnected in disunity

he won today

smug self-satisfaction

on his face

he blew the others

out of the water

he said and was glad

they were disgraced

are these symptoms, symptoms of a simpler cause

I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing we are

separate we are separate

disconnected in disunity

he stole what he could

he only had minutes before he'd be caught

he justified

every penny taken by blaming the gap between the rich and rich not

are these symptoms, symptoms of a simpler cause

I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing we are

separate we are separate

disconnected in disunity

Awakening Americans (Hands Clean single two)
 
We watch movies of murder and we censor the breast
Give thanks for the murders of Chris Columbus
We kill our own and we vote for the men
The lesser of evils and us starring in the role of victim
 
I wonder how we change if we can in this land
I wonder how many mountains we'd move if we bent together
Us privileged Americans
 
We pass our revisions onto the next generation
We kneel to the Gods of corporation
We eat when we're full and we hoard all the rest
With our hands on remotes we say "Yes, We're the best"
 
I wonder what we change in this land, cause we can
Even with western centricity this rampant
Us ugly Americans
 
Tired are not my hands
But see strangers and enemies as part of me, is real.
For me this awakening Canadian
 
We teach our offspring for themselves, every man
We shrug our shoulders and create yet another -ism
We dissuade our young from using their imagination
We avert our eyes from this our very own manifestation
 
I wonder what will change in this land, cause we can
I wonder how many mouths we'd fill if we band together
Us awakening Americans

 Into a King (Big Sur single)

It started harmless enough
Animal infatuation
But something within it prevailed

You were a sweet amalgamation
Of all the parts I have loved
The hottest slippery slope

And out came depth
And out comes healing
Out comes friendship unlike any I have known

Happy Anniversary, baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy Anniversary, darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen

Continued and softened us up
Our rocks are hewn by this water of love
And steadfast: our pinky swear

And out comes fun
And out comes relief
Out comes championing unlike any I have known

Happy Anniversary, baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy Anniversary, darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen

How far have we come
And how far we've yet to go
'Til we're gray, great grandparents
'Til we're one tiny little wrinkle

I say I do, I do, I do

Happy Anniversary, baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy Anniversary, darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen

And so, we'll traipse from Paper through Diamonds
A family tree's genesis
Our fingers 'twining together

And out comes ever
And out comes alchemy
And out comes drooling on your chest

Happy Anniversary, baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy Anniversary, darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen

Ohh-oh-oh-ohh
Ohh-oh-ohh

 Today (Marianne Williamson's Congressional Campain 2014)

I've fallen down, Joan of Arc ailing
Systems are failing the mission
I've been taken down, wind from my sails
By tempers that flared and were vicious

I'm going down down down
I'm going down down down

Unless we start a revolution
Awaken from this frozen
Start the mending of our union
Today

Unless we revive this constitution
From sure disintegration
Live out this revelation
Today

Smile upside down, rupture is rising
Families are scrambling for custody
Faithlessly drowned
The chase of this dollar is tilting my altar t'ward apathy

We're going down down down
We're going down lest we move to new ground

Unless we start a revolution
Awaken from this frozen
Start the mending of our union
Today

Unless we revive this constitution
From sure disintegration
Live out this revelation
Today

Warm'd by this fire born from a flicker
My heart moves slower than technology
This dampened desire is rolling its sleeves up
Replaced by a vigor and empathy

I'm reaching higher and higher and higher
I'm moving up and up and up

As we bandy round solution
Celebrate our evolution
That antidotes our stations
Today

And as we activate our nation
As we're joined by our companions
We ignite our generation
Today

Dear Prudence (John Lennon Tribute)

 Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?

Dear Prudence, open up your eyes
Dear Prudence, see the sunny skies
The wind is low, the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence, won't you open up your eyes?

Look around, round (round, round, round)
(Round, round, round, round, round)
Look around, round, round (round, round)
(Round, round, round, round, round)
Look around

Dear Prudence, let me see you smile
Dear Prudence, like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence, won't you let me see you smile?

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?

 Look around, round (round, round, round)
(Round, round, round, round, round)
Look around, round, round (round, round)
(Round, round, round, round, round)
Look around

We can work it out, we can work it out ...

To all the boys I've loved before (Juglio Eglesias cover)

 To all the boys I've loved before
Who traveled in and out my door
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the boys I've loved before

To all the boys I once caressed
And may I say, I've held the best
For helping me to grow, I owe a lot, I know
To all the boys I've loved before

The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I tried to stay
The winds of change continued blowing
And they just carried me away

To all the boys who shared my life
Even if I couldn't be their wife
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the boys I've loved before

To all the boys who cared for me
Who filled my nights with ecstasy
They live within my heart
I'll always be a part
Of all the boys I've loved before

The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I tried to stay
The winds of change continued blowing
And they just carried me away
To all the boys we've loved before

Who traveled in and out our door
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the boys we've loved before

 After a Year Like This One

After a year like this one
I'm surprised I did not hate your guts
And after a year like this one
I'm surprised I still love music just as much
After a year like this one
I'm surprised I did not eat my arm
After a year like this one
I'm sorry if I'm not according to everyone
Chorus:
La la la la la la la la la lee...After a year like this one
I'm surprised I'm convinced at all
And after a year like this one
I do not roll my eyes in disgust when they call me
After a year like this one
I can't help but wonder how they've been
And after a year like this one
I think I'll leave it all to my next of kin
Repeat chorus
After a year like this one
I'm surprised we're not all leaving drunks
And after a year like this one
I want you to choose the restraunt
And after a year like this one
I'll need a good whole sixteen months alone
After a year like this one
I think I'll make the west coast beaches my new home
Repeat chorus

 Wounded Leading Wounded

We didn't bring forth this major mean being
We never meant to undermine its baneful meaning
We intend to be cowards til it's leaving
We shall only respect its cruelty within

We didn't wound ourselves as we're much too catholic
We didn't cause the pain, psychic tensions wouldn't click
We will point towards this suspicious evil force
We will rest at our place during our self-destructive course

We two unlocked these guns instead
We two are one mind to see the end of the tearin' up tunnel
And it's so hung and it's so long
We're wounded leading wounded

We'd never accept any of the proposals they made
We didn't take our pills to show we're harder than our mates
We will fire backwards to demonstrate our arms
We shall never give up, no matter whom we may harm

We two unlocked these guns instead
We two are one mind to see the end of the tearin' up tunnel
And it's so hung and it's so long
We're wounded leading wounded

We see the foe of them all, see the chance to kill him
We see the fear of our own, see the victims lyin'
Here on this battle field between love and hatred
We oughta withdraw our troups but still

We two unlocked these guns instead
We two are one mind to see the end of the tearin' up tunnel
And it's so hung and it's so long
We're wounded leading wounded

 Naysayers

I've had glimpses of the highest versions since my youth
I saw pictures of these predetermineds that were extraordinary
they were born out the gate
what to do when they come true

well you naysayers
and you dream killers
and by all others be damned
I'm an example of perseverance
in the face of 'you can't'

I'd seen moments of sweet partnership before we could
I've had times where i could smell the smells of something pure portending
I saw sea colored eyes
what to do when they come true

well you naysayers
and you dream killers
and by all others be damned
I'm an example of perseverance
in the face of 'you can't'
I've had goals of serving far and wide while ridiculed
I've had notions of a family with someone brave like you
they were feared? and inviting
what to do when they come true

well you naysayers
and you dream killers
and by all others be damned
I'm an example of perseverance
in the face of 'you can't'

aspirations of offering benefit through god misused
I've seen pictures of our love abiding long before i married
I had shot for the moon
what to do when they come true

Predator (Jagged Little Pill Musical)

First I am spotted across the room
Sussed out for the degree of naïveté
When I make the cut then all systems go
And you take your first step toward me

My eyes are invitations
My welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My honesty’s commendable but won’t pull your heart strings
This magnet for predators is dying to be discerning

Your system of madness to mimic connection
Then you engender my trust as you pounce
You isolate and then divert attention
Distract from deception, keep me in the dark

My eyes are invitations
My welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My kindness is commendable but won’t pull your heart strings
This magnet for predators is trying to be discerning

You kept me off balance with your charming deflection
You kept me distracted, couldn’t pick this apart
What started as union turned to isolation
And you are obsessed with your prey

My eyes are invitations
My welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My trusting is commendable but won’t pull your heart strings
This magnet for predators is learning to be discerning

I Miss the Band

The inside joke well understood
The nudge nudge wink wink
and finishing each other's harmonies

The late night drive through italian roads
trains pulling out and we're all in on the secret

where did you go
we are a league to be reckoned with
as we run all around the planet

and I miss the band
1 + 1 = 50
and I am imploding without you
and there's not a day that goes by where I don't hear
our music in my head
where I don't miss
traveling in your company

we’re on a plane
we're in Japan
in baggage claim I ask what city we just landed in
the paper slips under the hotel door
I'm shaking all hands
a the hum-of-the-road keeps me happy

where did you go
I thought we'd meet at the temple
as we go all around this world

and I miss the band
1 + 1 = 50
and I am imploding without you
and there's not a day that goes by where I don't hear
our music in my head
where I don't miss
the adventure in your company

Hugs full of sweat and
the late night call in tears
lights that are blinding
then onto the next country

The ritual huddle
as we storm the stage
the sense on the street of
this beautiful world

I miss my family
my ears are ringing
the sun streams in on my unmade bed in portugal

and I miss the band
1 + 1 = 50
and I am imploding without you

and there's not a day that goes by where I don't hear
our music in my head
where I don't miss
the pleasure of your company

Rest

All these relief-givers
The needle sure revs in the red
Chemicals like hugs from inside
they feel like my best friend

You think me a coward but I am a warrior
With many voices in my head
When I looked around and I reached out
I saw no alternative

God rest, God rest our souls
And this substance is the only comfort I know

He's been pushing for a while
Can we cut this man some slack
Let him lie down, let him lie down

We are a country desperate for the embryonic
I'm cold and I'm hungry and
I yearn for a hand on my forehead

You think it's a walk in the park and it's easy
\"She's got it as good as it gets\"
This misunderstanding's the line between living
or being the walking dead

And God rest, please rest our souls
And the more I take, the less comfort I know
She's been pushing for a while
Can we cut this woman slack
Let her lie down, let her lie down

The more that you hurl at me
The more I will curl up in my bed
where's the humanity?
Aren't we all hovering around the same end?

Door number 1, 2 and 3 have been promises
that aren't real enough to be kept
You wish me a speedy recovery
But when you turn I plumb the depths

And God rest, God please rest our souls
This is the surest exit I have known
We've been hurting for a while
Can we cut ourselves some slack
Let us lie down, let us lie down
Let us lie down, let me lie down

Drift Away (with Ringo Starr & Tom Petty)

Give me the beat boys
Give me the beat boys
Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feeling the strain
Ain't it a shame
(Chorus)
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll
And drift away
I'm beginning to think that I'm wasting my time
And I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now it's up to you
To carry me through
(to Chorus)
And when my mind is free
You know the melody can move me
And when I'm feeling blue
The guitar's coming through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know that I believe in the song
You help me along
You're making me strong
Give me the beat boys
Give me the beat boys
(to Chorus)

On the Road Again (Willie Nelson cover)

On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We were the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way
Is on the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We were the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
I can't wait to get on the road again
I can't wait to get on the road again
