Outta The Handbag

Letting the true cat outta the bag
you lot're gonna discover a skilful home
Letting the cat outta the handbag
You can't always have it your way

Letting the cat outta the bag
I know it wasn't what you wanted to hear
You lot got yours I got mine, you gotta be conscientious
Expect what what happens when you grinning
Information technology's an object lesson
Nothing ever works the same way twice
You've seen information technology all before
Everytime I see you coming around
I can't stop you anymore

Letting the cat outta the bag
you can't always take information technology your way

Gonna be here, everytime the dogs bark
Gonna be hither, when you call my name
Gonna exist here when the dark time comes

OOOH HOO HOO cat's outta the bag
The birdies sing

For A Ride

I love to drive you 'round Paris and Rome
Take y'all shopping, and then drive you home
Show you The Lowlands and The Highlands
No way we can become from here

Someone wants to take yous for a ride
Someone wants to take you for a ride

I'm gonna run into you on the midnight train
Gonna hold you in the driving rain
Look out for me in the fast lane
Gonna be moving with my lover again

Someone wants to take you for a ride
Yeah, someone wants to accept you lot for a ride

(Desire you to testify me how to ride ride ride
want you to show me how to ride ride ride)
Take information technology for a ride ride
have it for a ride ride
T-T-T- accept it for a ride ride
Someone, someone, someone wants to take you lot
Take y'all for a ride
Someone gonna have you lot
Gonna take you for a ride
...for a ride...for a ride...for a ride...

Brother Homo

I write reams of this shit every day,
I'm not the only 1 either!

Where the hype comin' from Brotherman Brotherman
Where the hype comin' from Brotherman Brotherman
Sitting in the courtyard with Uncle Sam

Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam

Where the heat comin' from Brotherman Brotherman
Uncle Sam
Hither in the courtyard with Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam

You're just feeling some of the magic
Merely yous're feelin' it
This is just some of the magic
I write reams of this shit every day
But you're feelin' information technology

Where's the heat coming from Brotherman Brotherman
Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam
Very uncomfortable... but you're feelin' it
Very uncomfortable... but yous're feelin' it

Where the hype coming from Brotherman Brotherman
Out there in the courtyard with Uncle Sam
Where the estrus coming from Brotherman Brotherman
An' is it gonna get me
Information technology's just part of the magic
Very uncomfortable...just you lot're feeling it
Very uncomfortable...but yous're feeling it
I write reams of this shit every day

Is it gonna get me
Is information technology gonna get me
When is it gonna get me

Satisfied

At that place'southward been a nightly visit for such a long fourth dimension
Because of yous
It's got all the hallmarks of a classic affair
That we all know
It may suprise us still - for both of us until

You'll be wondering at information technology
I'll exist standing past
You'll be smiling at information technology
I'll exist wondering why

It will remind us of what'south inside united states of america
How closely things we feel
volition touch and make us whole
It may suprise us in the end

You lot'll be wondering at it
I'll be continuing by
You'll be smiling at it
I'll be wondering why

Will information technology stand the test of time
It will stand up the exam of time

[pinnacle]

In A Inundation

You thought you
had it covered
just yous didn't

The best you had
to offer went
up in fume

I heard from other
people where
you went

Down the
Mississippi
in a flood

Somewhere
southward
of
Santa Atomic number 26 it started
sinking in

The sweetness y'all were missing y'all were wishing
Would come back once more was Lost in the shuffle
forth the way

Downwards the Mississippi in a flood
Swallowed in a tempest
you lot had us worried all along

Tying upwardly the lines to
the Country Police

Covered all over in grease
What was nether the hood was alright
You lot would accept made it downward
the Mississippi in a flood

[top]

Hush

Hush, hush hush
Put your lips on mine
Put your lips on mine

Hush, hush hush goodnight
Hush, hush hush goodnight
Hush, hush hush goodnight

Hush
Put your lips on mine
And don't tell a soul
Put your lips on mine
Give information technology up
Permit it go

Hush, hush hush goodnight
Hush, hush hush goodnight

I can feel your trunk
(requite it up)
I can feel your mine
(allow it go)
Have me up to heaven
(give it up)
Never go dwelling house over again

Hush hush goodnight (repeat)

Gravel Drive

Yous're going away again
It'due south almost as if yous never came

I'thousand tired and helpless
and midnight'due south here
leave me something
something that volition brand me smiling

Someone is calling from the den
"when does survivor come on"
I hear the car door slamming
footsteps on the gravel drive

take me with you
take me away
leave me a slice of your grinning

journeys of a lifetime
leaving from here
travelling the edges
similar footsteps on a gravel drive

[acme]

Perfect

I tin't help it
Y'all're perfect for me
I couldn't intendance less
You're perfect for me
I've been waiting
Yous're perfect for me correct at present

In the moment
You're perfect for me
I've been waiting
You're perfect for me
I'm not perfect
Just you're perfect for me correct at present

I've been waiting for the moment
I'm not perfect
Only you're perfect for me
I couldn't care less
Yous're perfect for me
From a distance
Yous're perfect for me correct now

And I'm sitting next to you
In a corner of a room
Getting writers cake
From calling yous is all I want to do

I tin't help it
Simply y'all're perfect for me
I'thousand non perfect
But you're perfect for me
From a distance
You're perfect for me correct now

Its a different kind of love (repeat)

I'one thousand non perfect
But yous're perfect for me
From a distance
You're perfect for me
In pyjamas
You're perfect for me correct now

Its a dissimilar kind of love

Perfect for me (echo)

Sold Motel

Sold in a motel
engraved in the nighttime
The hilfiger needle stabbed
me twice in the back
ooh- adept nite
A shadow crawls
across my confront
Blurring my vision
in the usual way
ooh -good nite
Sold motel on the boulevard
something for nada
in the inner mind
ooh- become up
Embankment blanket bourgeois
sunning themselves
miles of logic and nonsense
ooh- get upward

Send out the messenger
option up the word
wild Tchapoutoulas
have y'all heard

Make information technology a journey
from hither to there
transport back the mail
from the ionosphere
ooh-shut up
Mark downward the laws
that we broke tonite
the judge wants you
back in courtroom to fight
ooh- shut up

Ship out the messenger
pick upwardly the give-and-take
wild Tchapoutoulas
have you heard
Send out the messenger
pick up the give-and-take
Full general Custer

(I hear you calling.....

Down that way they come across
death every twenty-four hours
in one form or another
ooh- give up
They're no different

handle the fearfulness
ooh- give up

Transport out the messenger

Send out the messenger
pick upwardly the give-and-take
General Custer

Woman

You're ignorant, yous're absurd
You never learnt to say you're lamentable
A woman in my past
is living on pins and needles

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Its all my fault
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
What'southward a fool to do

A adult female in my by
A woman in my present
A woman in my past
A adult female in my present

I know your style
Smile when you're angry
that's no way
To get my attending

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Laughing at me
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
All those memories

A adult female in my past
A adult female in the present
A woman in my past
A woman in the present (repeat 'til fade)

[peak]

Wasteland

We're living in
a wasteland
The soil is
cold and damp
Volcanoes in
the distance
Riverbeds run dry

You comfort me
concur me
in the night

A black sea
a wind blows
The dinosaurs
are gone
Gave up the
ghost of yesteryear
Nothing could
be done

you lot comfort me
hold me
in the nighttime

[peak]

Plough The Lights On

A shadow
Living in between the me you
A gambler
Betting we'll exist fine in the end

One time in a while you lot'd exist wrong
Putting your feelings across
Freaking me out in the night

Plough the lights on
When you see me coming
Turn the lights on
When y'all come across me coming

Dreaming
Seeing things appear in my caput
Sleeping
Listening to what's there in stead

Brand sure the reason for that
isn't the same every bit the last
Foolish thing thing sent
from the by

Turn the lights on
When you run into me coming
Plow the lights on
When yous see me coming

Turn the lights on
Plow the lights on
Plough the lights on ...

When y'all meet me coming ...
When you see me coming ...

Mailman (The Lying Song)

I didn't
depict
starting time
blood

You put
a crown in
my thorn

At that place's a
prisoner in
this song
but its
not me
I lied
about
the
prisoner

information technology isn't me
it's you lot
it isn't you
its me

[elevation]
