51. FINEST WORKSONG
The time to rise has been engaged
You're better best to rearrange
I'm talking here to me alone
I listen to the finest worksong
Your finest hour
Another chance has been engaged
To throw Thoreau and rearrange
You are following this time
I beg you not beg to rhyme
Your finest hour
Take your instinct by the reins
Your better best to rearrange
What we want and what we need
Has been confused been confused
Your finest hour
52. WELCOME TO THE OCCUPATION
Hang your collar up inside
Hang your dollar on me
Listen to the water still
Listen to the cause where you are
Fed and educated, primitive and wild
Welcome to the occupation
Here we stand and here we fight
All your fallen heroes
Held and tied and skinned alive
Listen to the Congress fire
Offering the educated primitive and loyal
Welcome to the occupation
Hang your collar up inside
Hang your freedom higher
Listen to the buyer still
Listen to the Congress
Where we propagate confusion
Primitive and wild
Fire on the hemisphere below
Sugar cane and coffee cup
Copper, steel and cattle
An annotated history the forest for the fire
Where we open up the floodgates
Freedom reigns supreme
Fire on the hemisphere below
Listen to me
53. EXHUMING MCCARTHY
You're beautiful more beautiful than me
You're honorable more honorable than me
Loyal to the Bank of America
It's a sign of the times
You're sharpening stones walking on coals
To improve your business acumen
Vested interest united ties, landed gentry rationalize
Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy America
It's a sign of the times it's a sign of the times
Enemy sighted enemy met I'm addressing the realpolitik
Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy America
"Let us not assassinate this man further than
the truth,
but you've done enough. Have you no sense
of decency, sir?
At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
You've seen start and you've seen quit
I always thought of you as quick
Exhuming McCarthy
54. DISTURBANCE AT THE HERON HOUSE
"They're going wild," the call came in
At early morning pre-dawn, then
"The followers of chaos out of control
They're numbering the monkeys
The monkeys and the monkeys,"
The followers of chaos out of control
"They're meeting at the monument,"
The call came in the monument
To liberty and honor under the honor roll
"They've gathered up the cages the cages and
courageous,"
The followers of chaos out of control
The call came in to Party Central
"Meeting of the green and simple,"
Try to tell us something we don't know
"Disturbance at the Heron House"
A stampede at the monument
To liberty and honor under the honor roll
The gathering of grunts and greens
Cogs and grunts and hirelings
A meeting of a mean idea to hold
"When feeding time has come and gone
They'll lose the heart and head for home
Try to tell us something we don't know"
55. STRANGE (Wire)
There's something strange going on tonight
There's something going on that's not quite right
Michael's nervous and the lights are bright
There's something going on that's not quite right
There's something going on that wasn't here before
Keep your eyes glued to the floor
There's something strange going on tonight
There's something going on that's not quite right
There's something going on that wasn't here before
Keep your eyes glued to the floor
No one's going to say goodnight
There's something going on that's not quite right
56. It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And
I
Feel Fine)
(from sheet music corrected by Michael Stipe)
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds
and
snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
- world
serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs.
Feed
it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, Ladder
start to clatter with fear fight down height.
Wire
in a fire, representing seven games, a government
for hire and a combat site. Left of west and
coming in
a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team
by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered
cropped.
Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh,
overflow, population, common food, but it'll
do. Save
yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own
needs,
listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture
and
the revered and the right, right. You vitriolic,
patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling
pretty
psyched.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I
feel fine.
Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign
towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself
churn. Locking in, uniforming, book burning,
blood
letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step
down.
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means
no
fear cavalier. Renegade steer clear! A tournament,
tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions,
offer me alternatives and I decline.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I
feel fine.
The other night I dreamt of knives continental
drift divide. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard
Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester
Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean,
boom! You
symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right?
Right.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I
feel
fine...fine...
(It's time I had some time alone)
57. THE ONE I LOVE
This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love
Fire (she's comin' down on her own,
now)
This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love
58. FIREPLACE
Crazy crazy world crazy crazy times
Crazy crazy world crazy crazy times
Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Shake the rug into the fireplace
Crazy crazy world crazy crazy times
Crazy crazy world crazy crazy times
Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Sweep the floor into the fireplace
Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Throw the chairs into the fireplace
Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Throw the walls into the fireplace
59. LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS
When I lay myself to sleep pray that I don't
go to deep
Lightning won
Because it's cold down cold down there crow
Flat lands low lands on the track
Shows the water pan the track
Lightning won lightning won
Close up hands to silhouette crow
Tambark on the track
Ham crow hold onto your hat
Lightning won lightning won
Low lands timberlands bad lands bird lands
60. KING OF BIRDS
A thumbnail sketch a jeweler's stone
A mean idea to call my own
Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young
There's time to teach point to point
Point observation children carry reservations
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me
cold
A mean idea to call my own a hundred million
birds fly
Singer sing me a given singer sing me a song
Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody's
looking on
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me
cold
There's time to teach point to point
Point observation children carry reservations
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me
cold
A mean idea to call my own a hundred million
birds fly away
I am king of all I see my kingdom for a voice
Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young
There's time to teach point to point
Point observation children carry reservations
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me
cold
A mean idea to call my own a hundred million
birds fly away
61. ODDFELLOWS LOCAL 151
Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits to prove a sage to teach
Peewee gathered up his proof
Reached up and scratched his head
Fell down and hit the ground again
Firehouse
Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach
This boy and girl they gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood wash off the rum
Wash off the blood wash off the 151
ALBUM: DEAD LETTER OFFICE
62. CRAZY (Pylon)
Listen
You're funny and you don't know why
You're funny and you can't even cry
You're funny and you don't know why
You're funny and you don't even try
Cause your head's shaking cause your arms are shaking
And your feet are shaking cause the earth is shaking
You're hungry and you don't know why
You're hungry and you can't even cry
You're hungry and you don't know why
You're hungry and you don't even cry
You take a walk and you try to understand
Nothing can hurt you
Unless you want it to
There are no answers
Many reasons to be strong
You take a walk you take a walk
You take a walk and you try to understand
You're in love and you don't know why
You're in love and you can't even cry
You're in love and you don't know why
You're in love and you don't even try
63. THERE SHE GOES AGAIN (The Velvet Underground)
There she goes again
She's out on the street again
She's down on her knees my friend
Won't have to ask her please again
Look a little closer there's no tears in her eyes
You know she won't make it with just any guy
What can you do
See her walking down the street
With all your friends she's gonna meet
You'd better hit her
64. BURNING DOWN
From the back of my neck
Wired a glass jaw
Plantation burning your boat is coming in
Strum the juice off your weakened shin
Running water on a sinking boat
Going under but they've got your coat
Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound
Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound
Johnny Mike is reading in the yard
History's timing
What river is it anyway radio
Not any boat in your ears
You pick your island in the sun
Take your island off he's got a gun
Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound
Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound
He's cooking in the woods a brush fire in your neck
Feeling mighty mighty
You can pick your island in the sun
Take your island off he's got a gun
65. VOICE OF HAROLD
Reverend Bill Funderburk sings "He Cared That Much For Me";
Charles Surratt introduces his own composition "On Calvary For Me";
"The Joy of Knowing Jesus" is a song of pure delight featuring John
Barbee;
The pure tenor quality of the voice of Harold Montgomery
gives a special interpretation to the grand old hymn "The Old Rugged
Cross";
Chill bumps appear and I am frozen in the web they weave as they reveal
their
innermost selves with the outpouring of their hearts...
On and on the songs roll and soon you are caught up
in the sermon in each rendition as you come to feel
the devotion and dedication that is poured forth.
Suddenly, you know they are real, they mean it!
"Let your light so shine..."
could not be more aptly applied
as there shines a light from heaven on your heart
through their singing. As an artist, Rhonda Montgomery
exemplifies piano artistry. That's Rhonda! An artist!
This album can be the instrument to mend a broken heart
or to straighten out your life through the sincere testimony
in the songs of THE REVELAIRES. A must!

The Revelaires, A must.
The Revelaires.
A must, in their home.
Women got skirts, men got pants
If you get the picnic I get the ants
Put it in the fire heaven knows
Take my torch and touch your toes in hell
It's a burning hell
You burn in Hell
They can burn in hell
You can burn in hell
It's a burning hell
Women don't fret boys don't bet
Let me see your silhouette in hell
Women above me take my love
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love
It's a burning hell
It's a burning hell
Baby, baby, baby, I'm hell
It's a burning hell
Girl stop moving boy behave
Baby, I'll put you in an early grave in hell
Love on the ceiling love on the floor
I'm gonna leave you burning for more
Burn in the country, burn downtown
All the best people are burning down in hell, hell, hell
It's a burning Hell
You'll burn in hell
It's a big, burning, giant, colossal matter
Hell
Oh baby, I'm hell
67. TOYS IN THE ATTIC (Aerosmith)
Light voices scream nothing seems real's a dream
Leaving the things that you learned behind
Leaving the things that you love behind
All of the things that you learned were real
Nothing except for the years
Voices scream, nothing seems real's a dream
Toys toys toys in the attic
Light voices scream nothing seems real's a dream
Leaving the things that you love behind
Leaving the things that you learned behind
All of the things that you learned were real
Nothing except for the years
Voices scream, nothing seems real's a dream
Toys toys toys in the attic
68. WINDOUT
Windout - when you're out of the wind
Windout - when you're really spent
Windout - if you're young and red
Tick tock it's ten o'clock
Why don't you spend the night
Could you really go
So find out - if you're really spent
Find out - if you're out of the wind
Windout - if you're out on the bend
Winding up
There's no doubt - that you're feeling fine
No doubt - that you're out of your mind
No doubt - that you're young and red
Windout - if you're really spent
Find out - if you're young and red
Windout - if you're out on the bend
If you're young and red
Tick tock trying to _____
Why don't you spend the night
Could you really go
Windout, find out, no doubt
Windout, find out, no doubt
Windout, windout, windout
69. AGES OF YOU
Postcard stowaway within
Pristine indigo without
___ is such
Sofa seated one too much
All along the range all along the range
Ages of you
Train pulls over hanging bridge
Conductor looks up thinks
Out and down hands stuck to the left
_____ farm
The horses aren't just gossip anymore
70. PALE BLUE EYES (The Velvet Underground)
Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel just about everything
Lately I'm just feeling bad
Lately I'm just feeling bad
Linger on your pale blue eyes
I thought of you as my mountain top
I thought of you as my peak
I thought of you as just about everything
I had but couldn't keep
I had but couldn't keep
71. BANDWAGON
Come on aboard I promise you you won't hurt the horse
We treat him well, we feed him well
There's lots of room for you on the bandwagon
The road may be rough the weather may forget us
But won't we all parade around and sing our songs
The Magic Kingdom open arms
Greet us hello, bravo, name in lights
Passing on the word fellow passengers and players, passing in
Until you're tired looking at all the flags
And all the banners waving
This is some parade yesiree Bob
Could you have known
Yesiree Bob, could you have known?
Look at all the flags and all the banners waving
Open up our arms the Magic Kingdom open arms to greet us all
72. FEMME FATALE (The Velvet Underground)
Here she comes you better watch your step
She's going to play you for a fool it's true
It's not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She'll build you up just to put you down
What a clown
Cause everybody knows the things she does to please
She's just a little tease
See the way she walks hear the way she talks
You're written in her book
You're number thirty-seven have a look
She's going to play you for a fool it's true
Little boy on the street
Before you start you're already beat
She's going to smile to make you from
What a clown
Cause everybody knows (She's a femme fatale)
the things she does to please (She's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease (She's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks hear the way she talks
73. WALTER'S THEME
Hey this is David
I've got a hat the size of Oklahoma
Put on my boots and going down to Walter's
Good tasting barbecue
Bring some home to the misses
They'll give you a bag to put it in
This is David, signing off
74. KING OF THE ROAD (Roger Miller)
Trailers for sale or rent
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to rent, fifty cents
No cars no pool no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
It takes four hours of pushing a broom
To buy a four by twelve cubic room
I'm a man of men, by no means
King of the road
75. POP SONG 89
Hello I saw you I know you I knew you
I think I can remember your name...name
Hello I'm sorry I lost myself
I think I thought you were someone else
Should we talk about the weather?
Should we talk about the government?
Hello my friend are you visible today?
And no one ever knew that it could be so strange...strange
Hello I'm sorry I lost myself
I think I thought you were someone else
76. GET UP
Sleep delays my life
Where does the time go...go
I don't know
Sleep sleep sleepy head
Wake it up...up
You've got all your life
Way up ahead
Dreams they complicate my life
Dreams they compliment my life
I've seen you laying pined
I've seen you laying pined
Life is rough...rough
I've seen you laying down...down
With the loving kind
I know life is hard...hard
Well now
Where to turn?
This time there's no escape
To dreamtime
77. YOU ARE THE EVERYTHING
Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing
I'm very scared for this world
I'm very scared for me
Eviscerate your memory
Here's a scene
You're in the back seat laying down
The windows wrap around you
The sound of the travel and the engine
All you hear is time stand still in travel
You feel such peace and absolute
The stillness still that doesn't end
But slowly drifts into sleep
The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen
And they're there for you
For you alone you are the everything
I think about this world a lot and I cry
And I've seen the films and the eyes
But I'm in this kitchen
Everything is beautiful
And she is so beautiful
She is so young and old
I look at her and I see the beauty
Of the light of music
The voice is talking somewhere in the house
Late spring and you're drifting off to sleep
With your teeth in your mouth
You are here with me
You are here with me
You have been here and you are everything
78. STAND
Stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't before
Now stand in the place where you were
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before
If you are confused check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
If wishes were trees the trees would be falling
Listen to reason
The reason is calling
79. WORLD LEADER PRETEND
(from the _Green_ inner sleeve/booklet/insert)
I sit at my table and wage war on myself
It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing
I know the barricades, and
I know the mortar in the wall breaks
I recognize the weapons, I used them well
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down
I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses
I proclaim that claims are left unstated,
I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognize the weapons
I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down
Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory
Let my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to me
This is my world
And I am the world leader pretend
This is my life
And this is my time
I have been given the freedom
To do as I see fit
It's high time I've razed the walls
That I've constructed
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down
You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony
You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls
And I'm the only one
I will be the one to knock it down
80. THE WRONG CHILD
I've watched the children come and go
A late long march into spring
I sit and watch those children
Jump in the tall grass
Leap the sprinkler
Walk in the ground
Bicycle clothespin spokes
The sound the smell of swingset hands
I will try to sing a happy song
I'll try and make a happy game to play
Come play with me I whispered to my new found friend
Tell me what it's like to go outside
I've never been
Tell me what it's like to just go outside
I've never been
And I never will
I'm not supposed to be like this
I'm not supposed to be like this
But it's okay
Hey those kids are looking at me
I told my friend myself
Those kids are looking at me
They're laughing and they're running over here
They're laughing and they're running over here
What do I do?
What can I do?
What should I do?
What do I say?
What can I say?
I said I'm no supposed to be like this
Let's try to find a happy game to play
Let's try to find a happy game to play
I'm not supposed to be like this
But it's okay...okay
81. ORANGE CRUSH
Follow me don't follow me
I've got my spine I've got my orange crush
Collar me don't collar me
I've got my spine I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now its time to
Spread your conscience overseas
Coming in fast over me
Paid in full
We'd circle and we'd circle and we'd circle to stop and consider and
sitting there on the pavement stacked up all the trucks jacked up and
our wheels in slush and orange crush in pocket and all this here county
hell any county it's just like heaven here and i was remembering and
i
was just in a differnet county and all then this whirlybird that i
headed for i had my goggles pulled off i knew it all i knew every back
road and every truck stop
82. TURN YOU INSIDE-OUT
Divide your cultured pearls in haste
I'm looking for to lay to waste
Of all the things I cannot taste
This is not the wasted race
They spoke loud
I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you
It's what you do
I could turn you inside-out
But I choose not to do
Given the choice
Given the heart
Given the tool
Given the word
Given the cheers
83. HAIRSHIRT
I am not the type of dog
That could keep you waiting
For no good reason
Run a carbon-black test on my jaw
And you will find it's all been said before
I can swing my megaphone and long arm the rest
It's easier and better
To just beat it from the chest
Of desire
I could walk into this room
And the waves of conversation are enough
To knock you down in the undertow
So alone so alone in my life
Feed me banks of light
And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung
It's a beautiful life
And I can hang my hairshirt
Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest
Or bury it at sea
All my life I've searched for this
Here I am here I am in your life
It's a beautiful life
My life
It's a beautiful life
Your life
84. I REMEMBER CALIFORNIA
I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines
The ocean's Trident submarines
Lemons, limes and tangerines
I remember this
I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly was and almost rans
I remember this
History is made
History is made to seem unfair
I recall that you were there
Golden smile and shining hair
I recall it wasn't fair
Recollect it wasn't fair
Remembering it wasn't fair outside
The willow at high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
The simple wave I must confide
I guess we took a slow ride
I guess it's just a gesture
I remember this defense
Progress fails pacific sense
All those sweet conspiracies
I remember all these things
I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly was and almost rans
I remember this
This
At the end of the continent
At the edge of the continent
85. (UNTITLED)
(Bits and pieces printed in the
1988 fan club holiday card)
This world is big and so-awake
I stayed up late to hear your voice
This light is here to keep you warm
This song is here to keep you strong
I made a list of things to say
But all I really want to say
All I really want to say is
Hold her and keep him strong
While I'm away from here
Hold her and keep her strong
While I'm away from here
I've seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold her
I've seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold him
Hold her and keep her strong
While I'm away from here
Hold him and keep him strong
While I'm away from here
86. RADIO SONG
Hey, I can't find nothing on the radio
Yo! turn to that station
The world is collapsing
Around our ears
I turned up the radio
But I can't hear it
When I got to your house
And I called you out
I could tell that you had been crying, crying
It's that same sing song on the radio
Makes me sad
I meant to turn it off
To say goodbye
To leave it quiet
Radio song
Hey hey hey
I've everything to show
I've everything to hide
Look into my eyes
Listen
When I got to the show
Yo ho ho
I could tell that you had been crying, crying
It's that same sing song, DJ sucks
Makes me sad
I tried to turn it off
To say goodbye my love
That radio song
Hey hey hey
The world is collapsing
Around our ears
I turned up the radio
But I can't hear it
Yeah
I tried to sing along
But damn that radio song
Hey hey hey
I've everything to show
I've everything to hide
Look into my eyes listen to the radio
I turned up the radio
But I can't hear it
Now I can't hear it
Hey hey hey
Check it out
What are you saying
What are you playing
Who are you paying
Day after day
Baby baby baby
That stuff is driving me crazy
DJs communicate to the masses
Sex and violent classes
Now our children grow up prisoners
All their lives radio listeners
87. LOSING MY RELIGION
(official lyrics from promo
lyric sheet)
Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
88. LOW
Dusk is dawn is day
Where did it go?
I've been laughing
Fast and slow
Moving in a still frame
Howling at the moon
Morning found me laughing
Up and down, down
Low low low
Night suits me fine
Morning suits me fine
I've been so happy
Way up high, high
In between
Down below
Low low low
I skipped the part about love
It seems so silly and low
Low low low
Low low low
I said the morning
It isn't your time
Barefoot naked
I can see your lines
It doesn't bother me
That you are right
Your grass is grassy wet
Your light white is bright
Light white light
I skipped the part about love
It seems so shallow and low
Low low low
Low low low
You and me
We know about time
We know how things go
They come and go
They live and grow
They pass and go
And glow and glow
Up and down
High and low
Low low low
Low low low
I skipped the part about love
It seems so silly and low
I skipped the part about love
It seems so shallow and low
Low low low
Low low low
I like your hands
All full of glory
All full of glory
89. NEAR WILD HEAVEN
Whenever we hold each other
We hold each other
There's a feeling that's gone
Something has gone wrong
And I don't know how much longer I can take it
House made a heart break it
Take my hand in your hands and shake it
In near wild heaven
Not near it now
Living inside
Living inside
Near wild heaven
Whatever it takes I'm giving
It's just a gift I'm giving
Try to live inside
Trying to move inside
And I always thought that it would make me smarter
But it's only made me harder
My heart thrown open wide
In this near wild heaven
Not near it now
Living inside
Living inside
Near wild heaven
Holding my hands together
Holding my feet together
Holding myself together
In this near wild heaven
Not near it now
90. ENDGAME (instrumental)
91. SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE
Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in a crowd
People people
Throw your love around
Love me love me
Take it into town
Happy happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Everyone around love them, love them
Put it in your hands
Take it take it
There's no time to cry
Happy happy
Put it in your heart
Where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
92. BELONG
Her world collapsed on a Sunday morning
She got up from the kitchen table
Folded the newspaper and silenced the radio
Those creatures jumped the barricades
And headed for the sea, sea
These creatures headed for the sea
She began to breathe
To breathe at the thought of this freedom
Stood and whispered to her child belong
She held the child and whispered
With calm, calm belong
Stood and whispered to her child belong
She held the child and whispered
With calm, calm belong
These barricades can only hold for so long
Her world collapsed on a Sunday morning
She took the child held tight
Opened the window
A breath, a song belong
Anew, new, belong
93. HALF A WORLD AWAY
This could be the saddest dusk
I've ever seen
Turn to the miracle
I alive
My mind is racing
As it always will
My hand is tired my heart aches
I'm half a world away
Hear my head swarm
To go it alone
And hold it alone
Haul it alone
And hold it
Go it alone
Hold it alone
Oh lonely deeps and hollows
Half a world
Half the world away
My shoes are gone
My life spent
I had too much to drink
I didn't think
I didn't think of you
I guess that's all I needed
To go it alone
And hold it alone
Haul it alone
And hold it
Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall
Oh this lonely world is wasted
Pathetic eyes high life
The blinded tide is turned to sea
The storm it came up strong
And it shook the trees
And blew away our fear
I couldn't need to hear
To go it alone
And hold it alone
Haul it alone
And hold it
To go it alone
And hold it alone
Haul it along
To go it alone
And hold it alone
Haul it along
And hold it
Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall
This could be the saddest dusk
I've ever seen
Turn to the miracle
I alive
My mind is racing
As it always will
My hand is tired my heart aches
From half a world away
94. TEXARKANA
20,000 miles to an oasis
20,000 years will I burn
20,000 chances are wasted
Waiting for the road to turn
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
Walking through the woods I have faced it
Looking for something to earn
30,000 thoughts have been wasted
Never in my time to return
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
All alone
Waiting to fall
40,000 stars in the evening
Look at them fall from the sky
40,000 reasons for living
40,000 tears in your eye
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
95. COUNTRY FEEDBACK
This flower is scorched
This film is on
On a maddening loop
These clothes,
These clothes don't fit us right
I'm to blame
It's all the same
It's all the same
You come to me with a bone in your hand
You come to me with your hair curled tight
You come to me with persistance
You come to me with excuses
Ducked out in a row
You wear me out
You wear me out
We've been through faith, breakdown
Self hurt
Plastics, collections
Self help, self pain,
Guest psychics fuck off
I was central
I had control
I lost my head
I need this
I need this
A paper weight, junk garage
Winter rain, a honey pot
Crazy, all the lovers have been tapped
Hotline, wanted ad
Crazy what you could have had
It's crazy what you could have had
It's crazy what you could have had
I need this
I need this
96. ME IN HONEY
I sat there looking ugly
Looking ugly and mean
I knew what you were saying
You were saying to me
Baby's got some new rules
Baby said she's had it with me
It seems a shame you waste your time on me
It seems a lot of wasted time for me
Left me alone
What it's doing to me
There's a lot of honey in this world
Baby this honey's for me
Got to do what you do
Do it with me
It seems a shame you waste your time for me
Left me alone
What it's doing to me
Knocked silly
Knock flat
Sideways down
There's things they pick you up
Turn you around
Say your peace
Say you're sweet for me
It's all the same to share the pain with me
It's all the same to save the shame for me
Left me alone
What it's doing to me
Baby's got some new rules
Baby says she's had it with me
There's a fly in the honey
And baby's got a baby with me
That's a part
That's a part of me
Left me alone
What it's doing to me
Left me alone
What it's doing to me
What about me?
