Johnny Sunshine
You took the car It was my favorite one Little white dart And drove it to Idaho You took the rug Red and white checkerboard Rolled it right up And took it to Idaho You left me nothing You left me nothing Johnny Sunshine You took the horse It was a thoroughbred Saddled her up Out on the interstate You took my kid It was my only one Smart little bitch And drove her to Idaho You left me nothing You left me nothing Johnny Sunshine You left me nothing You left me nothing Johnny Sunshine You took the house You went and changed the locks Now I am stuck Living out of a box You took my car It was my favorite one Little white Dart And drove it to Idaho You left me nothing You left me nothing Johnny Sunshine
Elvis Be True
Everyone’s talkin’ ‘bout Elvis ‘Cause it seems like a thing that we do Elvis is walking ‘round listlessly Seems he can’t even die if he wanted to It’s a bad business to be him You don’t get thanked and don’t get paid It’s a hard world to begin with And to end with and to think about leaving behind Exhuming the body in Memphis Waiting five hours to get into Graceland Is this anybody’s idea of a good time, or a good joke? Airport biographies are usually true Fame and fortune took it’s toll He’s not the king of rock and roll anymore He’s just a junkie redneck Pull the sheet over your head Fold your arms across your chest Lie back in bed, you can call folks conssie tomorrow Everyone’s talkin’ ‘bout Elvis ‘Cause it seems like a thing that we do Elvis is living too fat and slow now to care What we say about him Picking up hitchhiking Elvises Christening babies at the foot of his grave He was TV and laughing to himself Just had to tell someone how he did itElvis be good to me Elvis be true Elvis I love you Elvis be true Elvis be near me Elvis be mine Elvis come back to me Please Elvis be fine Everything’s comin’ up roses Everything’s comin’ up Elvis Everything’s comin’ up roses Everything’s comin’ up Elvis Elvis, Elvis Elvis be true

Flower
Everytime I see your face I get all wet between my legs Everytime you pass me by I heave a sigh of pain Everytime I see your face I think of things not pure and chaste I want to fuck you like a dog I’ll take you home and make you like it Everything you ever wanted, everything you thought of Is everything I’ll do to you I’ll fuck you and your girlfriend too Your face reminds me of a flower, kind of like you’re underwater Hair’s too long and in your eyes Your lip’s a perfect suck-me size You act like you’re 14 years old Everything you say is so obnoxious, funny, rude and mean I want to be your blow-job queen You’re probably shy and introspective That’s not part of my objective I just want your fresh young jimmy Jamming slamming ramming in me Everytime I see your face I think of things not pure and chaste I want to fuck you like a dog I’ll take you home and make you like it Everything you ever wanted, everything you ever thought of Is everything I’ll do to you I’ll fuck you till your dick is blue Everytime
Beg Me
Take one more step and it’s over Back up slowly inside Breathe too loud and I’ll kill you Get down on your knees and Beg me, beg me, beg Beg me, beg me, beg Take off all of your clothes Lie face-down on the bed Move one inch and I’ll shoot you Make like a womyn and Beg me, beg me, beg I said beg me, beg me, beg Everynight on TV I see things, they should make me blush Looks like it’s gonna be Another open season, open season on us Open season, open season on us It’s the first hot day in the summer Looks like there’s gonna be thunder I’ve been sitting here all afternoon Watching the clouds Can see the sky from my window Can feel the wind and smell the rain And I don’t see what difference it makes If I’m a man or a womyn
Whip-Smart
I’m gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green And whip-smart as the English Channel’s wide And I’m gonna tell my son to keep his money in his matress And his watch on any hand between his thighs And I’m gonna lock my son up in a tower Till I write my whole life story on the back of his big brown eyes Hey Ebon, Ebon, EbonettesWhen they do the double dutch, they stand tensies (4x) And I’m gonna tell my son to join a circus So the death is cheap and games are just another way of life And I’m gonna tell my son to be a prophet of mistakes Because for every truth there are half a million lies And I’m gonna lock my son up in a tower Till he learns to let his hair down far enough to climb outside Hey Ebon, Ebon, Ebonettes When they do the double dutch, they stand tensies (8x regular, 4 without “Ebon”)
Go Speed Racer
Don’t give me that sucker fish shit,
Your love life ain’t that hurtin’
You always seemed to get what you wanted without flirting
You’re not the only one who’s used to playing dirty
And all I ever wanted from you was to leave me alone
So don’t give me that sucker fish shit
‘Cause I’m not that strong a swimmer
And I’m not afraid to be movin’ in a slower river
And you’re not the only one who used to watch Speed Racer
The very first car, in a race around the world
Is somwhere in the middle of a race around the circle
And the very first car, in a race around the world
Has got to wipe out somewhere but that somewhere isn’t me
<"Go speed racer" 3x over lyrics>
So don’t give me that sucker fish shit
‘Cause I’m not getting younger
And I’m not a floatable to keep you from goin’ under
And you’re not the only one who used to watch Speed Racer
The very first car in a race around the world
Is somwhere in the middle of a race around the circle
And the very first car, in a race around the world
Has got to wipe out somewhere but that somewhere isn’t me
("Go speed racer" 3x over lyrics)
I Tried Before to Tell You
OK, this guy walks into a bar No, I'm just fuckin' with you, I'm kiddin' There's this young bull and this old bull And they're standing on top of a hill And I tried to tell you before That that's why I left California So they're standing on top of this hill, right?

And the old bull goes. . . And I tried to tell you before That that's why I left California And the old bull goes, "Let's walk down that hill and fuck all of those cows. Dig?" Ya know, like he ain't been in town long or somethin', I dunno And I tried to tell you before That that's why I left California

Stratford-On-Guy
I said, I was flying into Chicago at night Watching the lake turn the sky into blue-green smoke The sun was setting to the left of the plane And the cabin was filled with an unearthly glow And 27D I was behind the wing Watching the landscape roll out like credits on a screen I said look, look to your left passengers Look, look to your right You can pretend that you’re here from outer-space And this, this is your very first sight I said, the earth looked like it was lit from within like a big man-made electical ball As we moved out of the farmlands and into the grids The plan of the city was all that you saw And all of these people sitting perfectly still as the ground raced beneath them 30,000 feet down I said look, look to your left passengers Look, look to your right You can pretend that you’re here from the fifth century And this, this is your very first flight I said, and I was pretending that I was in a Galaxie 500 video The stewardess came back and checked on my drinks And I swear that she looked just like Bridgette Bardot And I had on my walkman, and I had on those eyes, that you get when your circumstance is movie-size I said look, look to your left passengers Look, look to your right You can pretend that the plane’s gonna crash in 5 minutes And this, this is your very last sight You better look, look to your left passengers You better look, look to your right ‘Cause I’m gonna take this plane out in less then 5 minutes And this, this is your last sight
Shane
I know that it was the night, that the war broke out ‘Cause you and I were driving round You were doing the story about if people understood what had happened to their world Tonight, in bed, sleeping, you looked like you were just a little kid A world in bed, tonight, asleep You said that you were in touch with the draft resistors In case the big boys called you up You gonna have to let ‘em dick you around But don’t let ‘em make you do what you can’t live with Tonight, in bed, with me, sleeping, you looked like you were just a little kid Shane, I said, you’ve got to watch your ass You’ve gotta have fear in your heart (3x) I can a friend once saying to me You’ve got a thing about men You’re gonna like it when they throw you around But don’t let ‘em make a fool out of you Tonight, in bed, with you, sleeping, The world, in bed, tonight, asleep Shane, I said, you’ve got to watch your ass You’ve gotta have fear in your heart (3x)
Give me my Boyfriend Back
The six dick pimp is just doin’ his job Makin’ sure that business isn’t going under He’s got the studs lined up in their stalls Put a couple bills in, see six minutes of balls Justine’s got a plastic baggy on her dick Jerry’s got a couple prints, Albert’s through her prick And nobody’s in number 4, number 6 Put a couple bills in man, you really shouldn’t miss it I don’t care how much time it takes I don’t care what kind of money he makes I just want my honey back, I’ll be on my way Give me my boyfriend back Thought you were smart, thought I wouldn’t leave home Rented a car and now you’re half-way to Idaho Thought you were smart, though I’d leave you alone But you have no idea what kind of hell’s comin’ down on you I don’t care how much time it takes I don’t care what kind of money he makes I just want my honey back, I’ll be on my way You better give me my boyfriend back You’re gonna give me my boyfriend back The six dick pimp is just doin’ his job Makin’ sure that business isn’t going under He’s got the studs lined up in their stalls Put a couple bills in man, you really shouldn’t miss it
Divorce Song
And when I asked for a separate room It was late at night, and we’d been driving since noon But if I’d known how it would sound to you I would have stayed in your bed for the rest of my life just to prove I was right, That’s it’s harder to be friends than lovers And you shouldn’t try to mix the two ‘Cause if you do it and you’re still unhappy, Then you know that problem is you And it’s true that I stole your lighter And it’s also true that I lost the map But when you said that I wasn’t worth talkin’ to Well, I’d also take your word on that But if you’d known, how that would sound to me You would have taken it back And boxed it up and buried it in the ground (2x) ‘Cause you’ve never been a waste of my time It’s never been a drag So take a deep breath and count back from ten And maybe you’ll be alright You put in my hand a loaded gun and then told me not to fire it When you did the things you said were up to me And then accused me of trying to fuck it up But you’ve never been a waste of my time It’s never been a drag So take a deep breath and count back from ten And maybe you’ll be alright And the lisense said you had to stick around until I was dead But if you’re tired at lookin’ at my face I guess I already am I think I already am But you’ve never been a waste of my time It’s never been a drag So take a deep breath and count back from ten And maybe you’ll be alright
Go West
Safe on the interstate, New York is 3000 miles away And I’m not looking forward to following through But it’s better than always running back into you I’ve got tear my life apart and go west, young man Take off the parking break Go coasting into a different state And it feels like I’ve got something to prove But in some ways it’s just something to do I close my eyes and my bank account and go west, young man And I’m not looking forward to missing you But I must have something better to do My friends turn me around and say you go west, young man Standing down off my platform shoes Sixty-Nine in the afternoon And I’m not waiting for someone in the know Like Pirner tells me on the radio Says take it from someone who’s been there before, you go west, young man And I’m looking for someone to do my thinking for me Till I come through The state line highway sign says you have gone west, young man And it feels like I’ve got something to prove But in some ways it’s just something to do The state line highway sign says you have gone west, young man
If I Ever Pay You Back
I don’t mind have it takes to stay with you, love you Undertempting me, this is not what I planned But anyway, you know, by and large anyway, I go I won’t find anyone who loves me enough to make you look bad All the cars on the road are driving away from here But I am still looking under my nose just to see who I am But anywhere, I go, standing in any case a show I won’t find anyone to tell me what I need to know It’s not how it’s done But anyway, you know, by and large anyway, I go I won’t find anyone who loves me enough If I ever pay you back, if my money and wallet’s intact I’ll probably be in a box laying done loosely suited in black If I ever pay you back, if my money and wallet’s intact I’ll probably in a box laid down loosely suited in black Loosely suited in black (2x)
In Love with Yourself
He came over to my house Didn’t even knock, just walked inside And when I didn’t wanna talk, he said “Oh god, what a lotta bullshit” Don’t be so in love with yourself (3x) ‘Cause I’m not, don’t you know I’m not And I said, you’ve got a lot of nerve, Coming here after all of the times When you tried to pull the wool over my eyes and my ears and nose and mouth Don’t be so in love with yourself (3x) ‘Cause I’m not, don’t you know I’m not And I said, you’ve got a lot of nerve Painting me like I’m the villian What about all those words, like "He’s just a friend" What a lotta bullshit Don’t be so in love with yourself (3x) ‘Cause I’m not, don’t you know I’m not And I said, you’ve got a lot of nerve After all it wasn’t me who left And now you’re sleeping with that girl that you used to say you have always hated Don’t be so in love with yourself (3x) ‘Cause I’m not, don’t you know I’m not We took off all of our clothes Had alot of sex and then fell asleep And when I finally awoke, I held him close and whisped in his ear: Don’t be so in love with yourself (3x) ‘Cause I’m not, don’t you know I’m not And he said I know, don’t you think I know?All lyrics transcribed by Jennie Corman and Beth Lowe.
