    [X]

    letra de My House

    The image of the poet's in the breeze

    Canadian geese are flying above the trees

    A mist is hanging gently on the lake

    my house is very beautiful at night



    My friend and teacher occupies a spare room

    he's dead, at peace at last the wandering Jew

    Other friends had put stones on his grave

    he was the first great man that I had ever met



    Sylvia and I got out our Ouija Board

    to dial a spirit, across the room it soared

    We were happy and amazed at what we saw

    blazing stood the proud and regal name Delmore



    Delmore, I missed all your funny ways

    I missed your jokes and the brilliant things you said

    My Dedalus to your Bloom, was such a perfect wit

    and to find you in my house makes things perfect



    I really got a lucky life

    my writing, my motorcycle and my wife

    And to top it all off a spirit of pure poetry

    is living in this stone and wood house with me



    The image of the poet's in the breeze

    Canadian geese are flying above the trees

    A mist is hanging gently on the lake

    our house is very beautiful at night



    Our house is very beautiful at night

    our house is very beautiful at night

    Our house is very beautiful at night

    letra de Women

    I love women, I think they're great

    they're a solace to the world in a terrible state

    They're a blessing to the eyes, a balm to soul

    what a nightmare to have no women in the world



    I love women

    I love women

    I love women

    we all love women



    I used to look at women in the magazines

    I know that it was sexist, but I was in my teens

    I was very bitter, all my sex was on the sly

    I couldn't keep my hands off women, and I won't till I die



    I love women

    ah, I love women

    we love women

    we all love women



    A woman's love can lift you up, and women can inspire

    I feel like buying flowers and hiring a celestial choir

    A choir of castratis to serenade my love

    they'd sing a little Bach for us and then we'd make love



    I love women

    I love women

    We all love women

    we love women

  3. Underneath The BottleVer letra 2:27

    [X]

    letra de Underneath The Bottle

    Ooohhh-wheee, look at me

    looking for some sympathy

    It's the same old story –

    – of a man and his search for glory

    and he found it, there underneath the bottle



    Things are never good, things go from bad to weird

    hey gimme another scotch with my beer

    I'm sad to say –

    – I feel the same today as I always do

    gimme a drink to relax me



    Ooohhh-wheee, liquor set free

    I can't do no work, the shake's inside me

    Ahhh, shucks

    I got the lousiest luck, I'm sick of this

    underneath the bottle



    Seven days make a week, on two of them I sleep

    I can't remember what the heck I was doing

    I got bruise on my leg –

    – from I can't remember when

    I fell down some stairs, I was lyin' underneath the bottle



    Ooohhh 0wheee, son of a B.

    you get so down, you can't get any lower

    So long world, you play too rough

    and it's getting me all mixed up

    I lost my pride and it's hiddin' there underneath the bottle

  4. The GunVer letra 3:37

    [X]

    letra de The Gun

    The man has a gun

    he knows how to use it

    Nine millimeter Browning

    let's see what he can do

    He'll point at your mouth

    say that he'll blow your brains out

    Don't you mess with me

    carrying a gun

    Carrying a gun

    carrying a gun

    Don't you mess with me

    carrying a gun

    Carrying a gun

    carrying a gun

    Don't mess with me

    ooohhh, carrying a gun

    Get over there

    move slowly

    I'll put a hole in your face

    if you even breathe a word

    Tell the lady to lie down

    I want, ah, you to be sure to see this

    I wouldn't want you to miss a second

    watch your wife

    Carrying a gun

    shooting with a gun

    Dirty animal



    Carrying a gun

    carrying a gun

    Watch you face

    carrying a gun

    Carrying a gun

    carrying a gun

    The animal dies with fear in his eyes

    with a gun

    Don't touch him, don't touch him

    stay away from him, he's got a gun

  5. The Blue MaskVer letra 5:00

    [X]

    letra de The Blue Mask

    They tied his arms behind his back

    to teach him how to swim

    They put blood in his coffee

    and milk in his gin

    They stood over the soldier

    in the midst of the squalor

    There was war in his body

    and it caused his brain to holler



    Make the sacrifice

    mutilate my face

    If you need someone to kill

    I'm a man without a will

    Wash the razor in the rain

    let me luxuriate in pain

    Please don't set me free

    death means a lot to me



    The pain was lean and it made him scream

    he knew he was alive

    He put a pin through the nipples on his chest

    he thought he was a saint

    I've made love to my mother, killed my father and brother

    what am I to do

    When a sin goes too far, it's like a runaway car

    it cannot be controlled



    Spit upon his face and scream

    there's no Oedipus today

    This is no play you're thinking you are in

    what will you say

    Take the blue mask down from my face

    and look me in the eye

    I get a thrill from punishment

    I've always been that way



    I loathe and despise repentance

    you are permanently stained

    Your weakness buys indifference

    and indiscretion in the streets

    Dirty's what you are and clean is what you're not

    you deserve to be soundly beat



    Make the sacrifice

    take it all the way

    There's no "won't" high enough

    to stop this desperate day

    Don't take death away

    cut the finger at the joint

    Cut the stallion at his mount

    and stuff it in his mouth

  6. Average GuyVer letra 3:10

    [X]

    letra de Average Guy

    I ain't no Christian or no born again saint

    I ain't no cowboy or Marxist D.A.

    I ain't no criminal or Reverend Cripple from the right

    I am just your average guy, trying to do what's right



    I'm just your average guy

    an average guy

    I am just your average guy

    I'm just an average guy



    Average guy, I'm just your average guy

    I'm average looking and I'm average inside

    I'm an average lover and I live in an average place

    you wouldn't know me if you met me face to face



    I'm just your average guy

    average guy

    Average guy

    I'm just an average guy



    I worry about money and taxes and such

    I worry that my liver's big and it hurts to the touch

    I worry about my health and bowels

    and the crime waves in the street

    I'm really just your average guy

    trying to stand on his own two feet



    I'm just your average guy

    I'm just your average guy

    I'm just your average guy

    average guy



    Average looks, average taste

    average height, an average waist

    Average in everything I do

    my temperature is 98.2



    I'm just your average guy

    an average guy

    Average guy

    I'm just an average guy

    Average guy

    I'm just your average guy

    I'm just your average guy

    I'm just your average guy

    Average

  7. The HeroineVer letra 3:00

    [X]

    letra de The Heroine

    The heroine stood up on the deck

    The ship was out of control

    The bow was being ripped to shreds

    Men were fighting down below

    The sea had pummeled the boat for so long

    That they knew nothing but fear



    And the baby's in the box, he thinks the door is locked

    The sea is in a state, the baby learns to wait

    For the heroine, ooohh for the heroine

    Locked in his defense, he waits for the heroine



    The mast is cracking as he waves are slapping

    Sailors roll across the deck

    And when they thought none was looking

    They would cut a weaker man's neck

    While the heroine dressed in a virgin white dress

    Tried to steer the mighty ship

    But the raging storm wouldn't hear of it

    They were in for a long trip



    Baby's in the box, he thinks the door is locked

    He finds it hard to breathe, drawing in the sea

    And where's the heroine to fire off the gun

    To calm the raging seas and let herself be seized by the



    Baby in the box, he thinks the door is locked

    The woman has the keys

    But there is no moment she can seize

    Here's to the heroine, who transcends all the men

    Who are locked inside the box

    Will the lady let them out

    Ooohh the heroine, ooohh the heroine

    Strapped to the mast, the pale ascendant heroine...

  8. Waves Of FearVer letra 4:10

    [X]

    letra de Waves Of Fear

    Waves of fear, attack in the night

    waves of revulsion, sickening sights

    My heart's nearly bursting, my chest's choking tight



    Waves of fear, waves of fear



    Waves of fear, squat on the floor

    looking for some pill, the liquor is gone

    Blood drips from my nose, I can barely breathe

    waves of fear, I'm too scared to leave



    Waves of fear, waves of fear

    waves of fear, waves of fear



    I'm too afraid to use the phone

    I'm too afraid to put the light on

    I'm so afraid I've lost control

    I'm suffocating without a word



    Crazy with sweat, spittle on my jaw

    what's that funny noise, what's that on the floor

    Waves of fear, pulsing with death

    I curse my tremors, I jump at my own step

    I cringe at my terror, I hate my own smell

    I know where I must be, I must be in hell



    Waves of fear, waves of fear

    waves of fear, waves of fear

  9. The Day John Kennedy DiedVer letra 4:05

    [X]

    letra de The Day John Kennedy Died

    I dreamed I was the president of these United States

    I dreamed I replaced ignorance, stupidity and hate

    I dreamed the perfect union and a perfect law, undenied

    And most of all I dreamed I forgot the day John Kennedy died



    I dreamed that I could do the job that others hadn't done

    I dreamed that I was uncorrupt and fair to everyone

    I dreamed I wasn't gross or base, a criminal on the take

    And most of all I dreamed I forgot the day John Kennedy died



    Oh, the day John Kennedy died

    Oh, the day John Kennedy died



    I remember where I was that day, I was upstate in a bar

    The team from the university was playing football on TV

    Then the screen went dead and the announcer said,

    "There's been a tragedy

    There's are unconfirmed reports the president's been shot

    and he may be dead or dying."



    Talking stopped, someone shouted, "What!?"

    I ran out to the street

    People were gathered everywhere saying,

    did you hear what they said on TV

    And then a guy in a Porsche with his radio hit his horn

    and told us the news

    He said, "The president's dead, he was shot twice in the head

    in Dallas, and they don't know by whom."



    I dreamed I was the president of these United States

    I dreamed I was young and smart and it was not a waste

    I dreamed that there was a point to life and to the human race

    I dreamed that I could somehow comprehend that someone

    shot him in the face



    Oh, the day John Kennedy died

    Oh, the day John Kennedy died

    Oh, the day John Kennedy died

    Oh, the day John Kennedy died

    [X]

    letra de Heavenly Arms

    Heavenly arms reach out to hold me

    Heavenly arms entice you to dance

    In a world of ill will, the dancers are still

    Heavenly arms reach out to me



    Heavenly arms soft as a love song

    Heavenly arms bring a kiss to your ear

    In a world that seems mad, all the dancers seem sad

    Heavenly arms reach out to me



    Sylvia

    Sylvia

    Sylvia

    Sylvia



    Heavenly arms come to my rescue

    Only a woman can love a man

    In a world full of hate, love should never wait

    Heavenly arms reach out to me



    Heavenly arms strong as a sunset

    Heavenly arms pure as the rain

    Lovers stand warned of the world's impending storm

    Heavenly arms reach out to me



    Sylvia

    Sylvia

    Sylvia

    Sylvia



    Ohhh-wohhh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

    Ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh, oh-woh-woh

    Ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh, ohh-woh-woh

    (Heavenly arms reach out to hold me)

    (Sylvia, you mean so much to me)

    (Heavenly arms reach out to hold me)

    (Sylvia, you mean so much to me)

    (Heavenly arms reach out to hold me)

    (Sylvia, you mean so much to me)

    (Heavenly arms reach out to hold me)
