Titres

1 Draw the Line ♪ 3:24

Checkmate honey, beat ya at your own damn game
no dice honey, I'm livin' on the astral plane
feet's on the ground, and your head's goin' down the drain
oh, heads I win, tails you lose, to the never mind
where to draw the line

an Indian summer, Carrie was all over the floor
she was a wet net winner, and rarely ever left the store
she'd sing and dance all night, and wrong all the right out of me
oh, pass me the vile and cross your fingers, it don't take time
nowhere to draw the line

hi ho silver, we were singin' all your cowboy songs
oh, you told Carrie, and promised her you wouldn't be long
heads I win, tails you lose, lord it's such a crime
no dice honey, you're the salt, you're the queen of the brine
checkmate honey, you're the only one who's got to choose
where to draw the line

checkmate, don't be late
take another pull
that's right
impossible
when you got to be yourself
you're the boss, the toss
the price, the dice
grab yourself a slice
nowhere to draw the line

2 I Wanna Know Why ♪ 3:09

Kickin' down the road
feelin' mighty slowed
with the likes of you

gettin' mighty spaced
never had a taste
of what you're goin' through

I can't bitch
went from rags to riches
then to ragtime screamin' the blues

I wanna know why
everybody's good intention
try to make a fool out of me
I wanna know why
everybody's good intention
gotta make a fool
gotta make a fool
try to make a fool out of me

swing low
sweet cherry o
when a strange love showed me the way

ya see more
can't keep a score
when the whore's comin' on for the play

E. Poe
eatin' crow
wonder if he knowed that the raven was mad

time passed
and words lost the last
of the best thing he ever had

oh play rough
can't get enough
so they try to make a fool out of me

lordy,
ain't foolin' me
ya ain't ghoulin' me
ain't foolin' me
ya ain't ghoulin' me

3 Critical Mass ♪ 4:52

Arriving in boats, black hooded coats
tormenters climbed into my room
I crawled under my bed, covered my head
but they're flushin' me out with a broom
the leader, she's small, pinned my ass to the wall
for my seeds or she'd be losin' her past
time after time, she'd be readin' my mind
but she never got the feelin' to last
celebrate, celebrate, celebrate it
this is the critical mass
so far so good, I heard the other say
so good so far, they're takin' me away
I drink to you, your mind, her ass
we'll take a drink and break the glass
celebrate, celebrate, celebreak it
this is the critical mass
now the tallest of two, with a brush full of blue
paints surrealist scenes on the wall
so I tell her for fun, that it's really well done
but she just ain't listenin' at all
she points to my heart, tellin' me if I'm smart
I'll practice and phase
out and admit, when the shoe doesn't fit
and I went screaming out down the hall
need it
need your love
just then I heard a poundin' on the door
we're all here, sang the voice of twenty more
I drink to you alas, we'll take a drink and break the glass
celebrate, celebrate, celebreak it
we are the critical mass
time and space, is takin' me away
time erase, don't know the time of day

4 Get It Up ♪ 4:02

Take me on your rocking whores
Hit the lights and shut your doors
Grab your ankles, ev'ryone
Ain't my way of having fun
Can't give it up, gotta give it up, give it up, c'mon Nancy
Can't give it up, get it up, for your fancy
Gotta get it up, get it up, c'mon Nancy
Can't get it up, gotta get it up, get it up,
For your fantasies
My ass don't speculate
I'm just your slave, your master's bait
And lots of luck into the night
Just waitin' for the bright light fright
Can't give it up, gotta give it up, get it up, c'mon Nancy

Really have a good time
Really have a good time
Suckin up the moonshine
Up underneath her clothesline
Really have a good time
Love me til the sun...

can't get it up, gotta get it up,
gotta get it up, get it up, c'mon Nancy
Can't give it up, gotta get it up, get it up, get it up,
for your fancy
Gotta get it up, get it up, get it up, c'mon Nancy
Can't get it up, gotta get it up, get it up,
get it up and down and all around
Take a ride and paint the town
Slow me down and make it fast
Scream almost and make it last
You know you gotta really have a good time
You know your really gonna, really have a good time
Suckin up the moonshine
Up underneath the her clothesline
You know your really gonna, really have a good time
You know you really wanna love me till the sun can't get it up
Get it up

5 Bright Light Fright ♪ 2:20

It's the dawn of the day and I'm crashed and I'm smashed
As it is I'm feelin' like my chips are cashed
All of my clothes strewn all over the room
The crisis at hand is I'm all out of zoom

I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the Good Morning News

The tricks of the night
Keepin' me in a daze
Open a bottle and I'll pull down the shades
Glance in the mirror
Back into bed
Forget that it's day, time to party again

I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the Good Morning News

Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright, gimme the knife
Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright, gimme the knife

I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the Good Morning News

6 Kings and Queens ♪ 4:55

Long ago in days untold
were ruled by lords of greed
maidens fared with gold they dared
to bare their wombs that bleed
kings and queens and guillotines
taking lives denied
starch and parchment laid the laws
when bishops took the ride
only to deceive
oh I know I
lived this life afore
somehow I know now
truths I must be sure
tossin', turnin', nightmares burnin'
dreams of swords in hand
sailing ships, the Viking spits
the blood of father's land
only to deceive
living times of knights and mares
raising swords for maidens fair
sneer at death, fear only loss of pride
living other centuries
deja vu or what you please
follows true to all who do or die
screams of no reply
they died
screams of no reply
and died
died
lordy, lordy, they died

7 The Hand That Feeds ♪ 4:23

Doctor, doctor, doctor Please, doctor, doctor, please Doctor, doctor, doctor Feel like a old disease Doctor, doctor, doctor Get your sweet ass off the floor Doctor, doctor, doctor I can't refuse any loose hearted lady anymore I scream your name into the crowd You feel the flame but you ain't proud Maybe your attitude ain't right So all that's left for me to do is bite The hand that feeds me Feeds me Doctor, doctor, doctor Doctor, doctor, please All things you put me through What the hell you want me to Do all the things that uncle John needs I ain't the dog that bites the hand that feeds me In the middle of, with a spittle of Et tu like birds of a feather When another day, love another way Push, shove, make love, play Never never, never ever Never ever, never ever Na na na na na Doctor, doctor, doctor Please do a-what you can Doctor, doctor, doctor Would you please give my life a hand All things you put me through What the hell you want me to Do all the things that uncle John needs I ain't the dog that bites the hand that feeds me, yeah Doctor, doctor, doctor Please, doctor, doctor, please Doctor, doctor, doctor Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor...

8 Sight for Sore Eyes ♪ 3:56

Goin' downtown, goin' down, goin' down
'neath the city, eatin' ground round
underground is pretty gritty
I turned the screw she held the light
that's when I knew she was a
sight for sore eyes
she was a sight for sore eyes
playin' no fair, sleepin' under stairs
downtown's a pity, takin' fair square
under where it's pretty gritty
I turned the screw she held the knife
oh holy Jesus, she's a sight for sore eyes
sight for sore eyes (she's a nitty gritty)
turnin' in style, walk a mile for your titty
naked foul while under there
under where it's pretty gritty
hey, don't you know people
she's a love lust hussy
she left, oh, she rust me
dear old girl
she was a sight for sore eyes
but she was sittin' pretty
a sight for sore eyes
she was a nitty gritty
sight for sore eyes
peeled back and parted
even at the start it was delight or demise
I feel like a leopard king
sight for sore eyes
she was a sight for sore eyes

9 Milk Cow Blues ♪ 4:14

Well I tried everything
Just to get along with you
And I'm gonna tell you just
What I'm gonna do
Well I'm sick of all your cryin
When you should be leavin me alone
If you don't believe me
You pack me bags, I'm gone
Wontcha please
Don't that sun look good goin' down
You almost lost your love girl
When your ol man ain't around

Won't you please
Don't that sun look good goin' down
When your old man ain't around
Won't you please
Don't that sun look good goin' down
And you best believe I love ya baby
When your old man ain't around
