Me And Theo 02:57
Me and theo We understand How it feels in a frying pan. Me and theo, we've been friends since 1988. Me and theo We've never been To jamaica or to japan. We was both born in a carport. In a chevrolet. Oh my my, oh mercy me. Its a freeze out tonight. Oh my my, oh golly gee. Him and me, we alright. Me and theo We never fight. Taking it easy, getting it right. I'm a princess, he's a pea. Anywhere we stay. Me and theo. We've got a band. It's a trio. We're down a man. Two-timing on the high notes Down in santa fe. Chorus

Badway 03:42
I get by on chainsmoke, horseflys and plain clothes. I kicked a can of artichokes. I keep my lip on the tip of my nose cause its- Love in a badway. I took the bottle and i shook it up. Tipped it over in a broken cup. I put some olives on some rabbit ears. I made a habit out of drinking tears cause it's- Love in a badway. I been kicking on your door but you don't want me round no more. We've been falling, down we go, Like slow motion dominoes. I must have slept all summer long. The sheets are cold and the leaves are gone. About as lonesome as a cowboy song. What's to save you when it's all gone wrong? It's love in a badway. There's a whisper in the willow tree. Sweet and nothing, but it ain't for me. It's a mean old world and it's built for two when you want somebody who don't want you. Love in a badway.

Perhaps some day With the memory of this Far away You’ll face the sun And you’ll know I was the one I told a lie that no one Should believe I made you cry That’s when you said I should leave We had our fun But it never lasted I was the one Who tore, tore my whole world down I can’t complain If you find love again I am the one Who must learn To take another turn I looked a fool For all the world to see It has a way Of always catching up with me We had our fun But it never lasted I guess I was the one Who tore, Who tore my whole world down Down All the way down Down, down, down, down All the way down I made a... I made a fool of myself I didn’t hurt nobody else We had our fun But it never lasted I guess I was the one Who tore Tore my whole world down Tore it Down I tore it down ooh down, yeah All the way down

When i hold you in my arms, wild desire, hearts afire, five alarm. When you whispered that you love me, oh my heart n soul go flying high above me. I could stumble, i could fall, At the thought of you. When i saw ya, passing by, i had had never seen a dream to come to life. When you looked my way i was terrified. What a lightning striking sight I cant abide. I could melt, i could die, At the thought of you. Leaning on my shoulder. Strangers to a heart that beats the same. So baby tell me your name. When i asked you for a dance, well you must have known this fool could take a chance. When you smiled i went wild. The day i met you down on angels ave. I could flip, i could faint, At the thought of you. Leaning on my should. Strangers to a heart that beats the same. So baby tell me your name.

Tumbling like a rolling stone Through a string of days With a face so long And a hungering Just to be alone That's when a past life woman Came into his mind Looking for a train Or a telephone Somewhere in the night Stood a happy home Where he he could’ve been All along Past life woman Came into his mind She’s on a parallel reality She might be loving someone else But then again it might be me You know it could be me From the very end Until the very start There’s the beating of A hidden heart And he’s wondering yes he's wondering If it leaves a mark When a past life woman Comes into his mind

Coming home to a heart broke town where the seeds have all been sown. Everybody wants to mend your wounds but they’re tending to their own I was standing in a crowded room counting each and every breath And we were doing what we always do Yeah we were doing it to death Everybody’s gotta cry some I gotta heart, it weighs two tons I said a prayer for my own son And the curse of a loaded gun Rolling into Minneapolis Another troubled river town The Mississippi frozen in its tracks And shadows all around Razor wire skirts an empty shell And they know they’ve been betrayed Some are gone and some are hanging on To the promises we made But everybody’s gotta cry some I gotta heart, it weighs two tons I said a prayer for my only son And the curse of a loaded gun You can hit the safeties And you can melt’em down But you can’t take back What they’ve done to my heart broke town. Heart broke town. Yes my home is a heart broke town. Everybody’s gotta cry some Got a heart, it weighs two tons I said a prayer for everyone And I curse, I curse a loaded gun

All Summer 03:34
Something coming over me. I think im gonna make it alright. All summer i was crying for you. Everybody told me that this was gonna be allright. All summer i was dying for you. Sure enough, by and by. The lights are coming on inside. Just as i was burning out the fires returning to me now. Departed hearted broke in two. I never thought ide see the day, all summer, ide get over you. I boarded it up and wrote it off. Never thought ide get another chance, all summer, without you. Chorus The waters flowing over me. I cant stop it now. It's under the bridge. Your just another memory that hasn't got a hold on me, all summer. Way back when. Chorus.

Pictures 03:04
I woke up thinking bout the night you left me rocking on my heels I didn’t understand then I don’t guess I ever will They say that time will tell But it won’t tell me everything I need to know Some day my eyes may see the truth Instead of minutes In a photo booth Pictures of me and you Ooh ooh oooh I'm lookin at pictures of you and me You had me climbing up a wall Harder than your head They said you’d take it all the way But here we are instead It’s just a photograph That’s why we never laugh Like we used to do There must be something deep inside Cause something’s are easier to hide In pictures of me and you Ooh ooh ooh I’m looking at pictures of you and me It’s only a picture in a photograph It’s only a picture in a photograph Well, it’s only a picture It’s only a picture A picture of me and you I'm lookin at picture of you and me Pictures of me and you Ooh ooh ooh I’m looking at pictures Of you and me Dedicated to the memory of King Louie Bankston

Nobody’s going home I nearly cracked my dome When I slipped in something On the dance floor Hey sister have you heard? Early morning’s for the birds And my worm, it is floating in the bottom of a bottle Bottle! I put the lipstick on my nose Dressing up in dots and bows Hide the liquor in the stove Everybody's laughing Everybody's laughing That's my kind of party Everybody's laughing Everybody's laughing My kind of party

I helped her with the words And she helped me To read the signs Nearly killing me in jest Half a dozen times Well you may not pass her time If you don’t know what you’re saying Any clown can do that Some are leaving, some are staying But she’s the boss All the way back home The first time that I saw her She put her fist into my chest But that was just a confirmation That she liked me the best Well you may not pass her time If you don’t know what you’re saying Any clown can do that Some are leaving, some are staying But she’s the boss All the way back home And now when I think of her I don’t think of calamity Still the road without her That ain’t no place I wanna be Well you may not pass her time If you don’t know what you’re saying Any clown can do that Some are leaving, some are staying But she’s the boss All the way back home All the way back home All the way back home All the way back home Dedicated to the memory of Rachel Nagy
