Deal me a card I’ll take what I get
Deal me a sky that’s shiny and wet
Deal me a field with horses that run
A place to take rest when all work is done
A sound in my ear
The singing of the whales
Send me to sleep
With wind in my sails
The moon is a woman I painted at night
To keep me awake till summer goes by
A dream in the night
With the ones that you love
The firing of rifles
And you’ll never wake up
I’ll be right here and follow your plan
And trust in the things I don’t understand

I’m looking for a girl with a washing machine
And a room that’s cool and shady
I’m looking for a girl with a shower and a bath
Come on, baby, don’t look at me like that
I’m looking for a girl with a washing machine
I ain’t saying
I ain’t saying I’m dirty and I ain’t saying I’m clean
Oooh oooh
I’m looking for a girl with a washing machine
And a room that’s cool and shady
I’m looking for a girl without plans for the night
I ain’t saying I’m lonely but I could use come company
I’m looking for a girl with a washing machine
I ain’t saying
I ain’t saying I’m dirty and I ain’t saying I’m clean
Oooh oooh
I bet you’ve got a washing machine
I bet you ain’t got nothing to do
And I’m just a boy who came into town
I won’t let you down
Oooh oooh

Oh Laura

Pastures
Moonlight
The desert is my master
Circling
Spiraling
The pictures come like ghosts
Out there
Somewhere
Infinity with airplanes
Your orange dress
Your independence
Was what impressed me most
Laura Ann
Things are easy
Cause they come and go
Like shirts
Since you’re gone
I’ve been driving
And there’s nothing left
That hurts
Oh Laura
Oh Laura
Clotheslines
Fly by
Mothers kiss their kids
Fast food
Diaries
Highways start to float
When the night comes
I’m gonna hit
Some motel T.V.-bed
Gonna fall asleep
With the pictures
Of the endless flying road

The day was filled with sounds of doors
I was dying for affection
They laid their flowers on the floor
Dr. Velvet’s magic injection
Made me laugh all afternoon
With a needle and a spoon
Don’t you worry, - you can spare yourself the flowers
Cause my bones don’t give a damn
And some smart-ass with a tan
Is gonna give you all the kisses that you long for
All the love that you deserve
While I’m heading for the curve
Yeah yeah yeah
The night was filled with sounds of wings
So uncanny, dark blue fluttering
The ambulance was speeding fast
With my body to the edge of town
Dr. Velvet, - don’t you ever let me down
In the morning it was eighty-nine degrees
We were sweating in our memories

When Vera Was Here
03:49

The last time that I saw my house
Was when Vera was here
The last time that I washed my clothes
Was when Vera was here
The last time that I was someone
Was before she spoke to me
I was looking at the trees outside
And I fell into a dream …
When Vera was here …
The last time that I heard my name
Was when Vera was here
The last time that I spoke to someone
Was when Vera was here
She stands before a window
And speaks in different tongues
There’s some kind of religion
In all the things I’ve done
Since Vera was here …
Took her to the movies
Went to see “The Cure In Orange”
Had a smoke and pretty soon
All the lights along the road
Looked like orange moons
When Vera was here …
The Spanish restaurant
Was a fine idea
I got lost inside the menue
And I disappeared
When Vera was here …

You And Your Blue Shirt
04:36
|

You and your blue shirt
You and your blue shirt
You and your auto-pilot
Circling through the room
High above the bed
Looking like a mobile unit
You and your tennis-shoes
Birds in a cage and
Clouds outside
Drifting by the window
Like big ships
You and your blue shirt
You and your blue shirt
You and your sea-shell eyes
And your pop-song lies
Watching time go by
Like a
Parade on the fourth of July
You and your drunk friends
You and your bird in a cage
Your little house near the mountains
And all the sentences you made up
You and your big mug of coffee
Every morning since 1972
You and your blue shirt
You and your blue shirt
You and your mouthful of dreams
And your filthy hands
On someone else’s skin
You and all your tenderness
You and your kisses soft with gin
You and your motherless mind
You and the mountains
You the director of unconscious scenery
Calling black jets
To soar through her soul
While she is not awake
You and your blue shirt
You and your blue shirt …
You and your subway evenings
Your list of airplanes
How many crossed the sky above your house
Last night? The night before?
You and your digital door
You and all the wives you had
And all that talk about your dad
You and your telephones
Your twilight zones
You and your songs about the ocean
You and your blue shirt
You and your blue shirt

It was big love first
Later insecure
And it’s hot in here
So hot in here
There’s nothing I’m thinking of
Big love
(Great big love)
Later insecure
(It was big love first)
Big sounds
On the surface of the sea
The little lights flashing
Tenthousand feet
Below
The nights were warm
The roads were warm
Insects hit the windshield
But we did not speak a thing
Nothing, not a word
It was just
Big love
(Great big love)
Later insecure
(It was big love first)
Big sounds
On the surface of the sea
The little lights flashing
Tenthousand feet
Below
Big love
(We stopped at several gas stations
They were all deserted)
Big love first
(But it only firmed my dedication
We would just go on and on)
Big love
(The nights were warm
The roads were warm)
Big love first
(Big love first, later insecure moments)
Big love first
Later insecure

Only You Can Save Me

I feel so goddamn lonely
I feel so goddamn lonely
I feel so goddamn lonely
I feel so goddamn lonely
I’ll always be a soldier
I’ll always be a soldier
I’ll always be a soldier
I’ll always be a soldier
And only you can help me
Only you can help me
I’ll always be a soldier
Without your tender lips
Baby, life is strange in this town
So much light
Beautiful sounds
Baby, all these sweet melodies
Drive me wild
Help me please
I may be here forever
I may be here forever
I may be here forever
If you don’t come around
And only you can save me
Only you can save me
I’ll be right here forever
If you don’t come around
And only you can help me
Only you can help me
I’ll always be a soldier
I’ll always be a soldier
And only you can save me
Only you can save me
I know you’re gonna save me
With all your tenderness

Hit The Shit
04:47

|
Can’t relate to you
Don’t know what to do
Guess I’ll start all over again
The fair was fine
And so was my mind
And in the morning I was lost on the country roads
Hit the shit
Spit in the fan
Oh oh oh oh
Are you doing it again?
Hit the road
Spin the wheel
Oh oh oh oh
Is your heart made of steel?
Hey sister
Can you buy me a drink?
You look like someone I wanna talk to
The moon’s so fine
And so is my mind
There’s so many homes and they’re all on fire
Hit the shit
Spit in the fan
Oh oh oh oh
Are you doing it again?
Hit the road
Spin the wheel
Oh oh oh oh
Is your heart made of steel?
There’s so many homes and they’re all on fire
There’s so many girls and they’re all in flames
There’s so many boys on a heroin-diet
Can you
Can you
Can you tell me your name?
Hit the shit
Spit in the fan
Oh oh oh oh
Are you doing it again?
Hit the road
Spin the wheel
Oh oh oh oh
Is your heart made of steel?

I Only Eat Fruit Lately
04:31

I only eat fruit lately
I watch the moon
Frogs barking
Somewhere in the summer night
That’s why I only eat fruit lately
And I watch the moon:
Cause there’s many reasons to be happy
Many reasons to feel good
Many reasons to be happy
Many reasons to feel good
That’s why I only eat fruit lately
My girl and me
Had a big plate of fruit from the sea
And the world and us were more like one
And the continents and oceans
Were more like us
It was so much fun!
And we only eat fruit
We only eat fruit lately
And we watch the moon
(And the fruit I drink with tea)
Somewhere out there
There’s many reasons to be happy
(And the fruit I drink with tea)
Many reasons to feel good
Many reasons to be happy
Many reasons to feel good
And I only eat fruit
And the fruit I drink with tea
(And the earth inside of me)
Big waves on beach inside of me
Rolling through my memory
A moonlit sea
I only eat
Fruit lately
Fruit lately
(Swim across the sea)
Many reasons to be happy
Many reasons to feel good
To feel good
(And the fruit I drink with tea)
Big world of wonders
Big white plate
I will only eat fruit
(And the earth inside of me)
Wide and wide world
We do not fear
All we can get
We will eat
Our eyes oceangreen
(Swim across the sea)
Kiss each other with cherry wild lips
We laugh ourselves silly
We do not fear
This big white plate
(And the fruit I drink with tea)
We like this
We learn
We laugh
We will eat
Everything
Eat
We do not fear
We will eat

Everything falls into place
Everything comes and goes
Everything bounces and flows
Everything falls from the sky
While you sleep with your heart beating wild
And the whole wide world spinning round
Like it was Christmas day
Everything falls into place
Uhuu you
Put colours on faded blue
Uhuu you and me
We’re gonna walk across the seas
And travel through the summers
With a faith as big as trees
Everything falls into place
Uhuu big big world
Don’t cry tonight
All the stars are out
And the oceans wide
And everything’s gonna happen
The way we decide
Everything falls into place

Crying's For Babies
03:31
|
|||
|
The town where we live
Has it’s own special smell
It’s a little like sea-food
And sex on the back-seat
And there’s girls I got to know
Who were happy to have someone
And we kissed in the little forest
Where the freeway went by
It was mostly on Saturdays
When they tested the sirens
I looked up to the sky
But I never saw rockets
The streets lay there peaceful
With hell in every living-room
Big cars on the drive-way
Screams on the telephone
And there’s always the Sundays
When the flagpoles stand tall
And daddy gets his rifle
And his smile says it all
He’s gonna go out shooting
Till there’s blood on his hands
And mama starts crying
Cause she ran out of methadone
I was young enough to make it
So I left when I could
And I never said goodbye
Cause I don’t do much talking
And I ain’t gonna think about it
Cause I don’t think it helps
And I ain’t gonna cry about it
Cause crying’s for babies
