Arlo Guthrie | I Ride On Old Pain | /a/arlo+guthrie/i+ride+on+old+pain_20303905.html | I ride an old paint, I lead an old dan
I'm goin' to Montana to throw the hoolihan
They feed in the coulees, they water in the draw
Their tails are all matted, their backs are all raw
Chorus:
Ride around little dogies, ride around them slow
For the fiery and snuffy are rarin' to go
Old Bill Jones had a daughter and a son
One went to college, the other went wrong
His wife, she got killed in a poolroom fight
But still he's a-singin' from mornin' till night
Chorus
When I die, take my saddle from the wall
Place it on my old pony, lead him out of his stall
Tie my bones to my saddle and turn our faces to the West
And we'll ride the prairie we love the best
Chorus
I ride an old paint, I lead an old dan
I'm goin' to Montana to throw the hoolihan
They feed in the coulees, they water in the draw
Their tails are all matted, and their backs are all raw
Chorus

Arlo Guthrie | Jacob's Ladder | /a/arlo+guthrie/jacobs+ladder_20518606.html | We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
Brothers, sisters, all
Every rung goes higher and higher
Every rung goes higher and higher
Every rung goes higher and higher
Brothers, sisters, all
We are dancing Sarah's circle
We are dancing Sarah's circle
We are dancing Sarah's circle
Sisters, brothers, all
Every round a generation
Every round a generation
Every round a generation
Sisters, brothers, all
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
Brothers, sisters, all

Arlo Guthrie | Jamaica Farewell | /a/arlo+guthrie/jamaica+farewell_20224757.html | Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
[CHORUS:]
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare that my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
[CHORUS]
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their head they bear
Ackie rice and salt fish is nice
And the rum is good any time of year
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]

Arlo Guthrie | John Looked Down | /a/arlo+guthrie/john+looked+down_20224206.html | [CHORUS:]
Lying on the side of the road
Feeling like he heard a sound
Shivered with the feelin' that he knowed
John looked down, John looked down
John looked down the long, long road
She gave John a present that was fine
So fine that he had to go
Went to see what it was that he knowed
John looked down, John looked down
John looked down the long, long road
And I know it's hard
But what did you expect of her?
John looked down
If you see the lady in your mind
Even in her nothingness
Standing through the darkest night
And the people want to fight
But first ask if it's all right
John looked down, John looked down
John looked down the long, long road
[CHORUS]
And I know it's hard
But what did you expect of her?
John looked down

Arlo Guthrie | Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream | /a/arlo+guthrie/last+night+i+had+the+strangest+dream_20245513.html | Words and music by Ed McCurdy
Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women and men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again
And when the paper was all signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful pray'rs were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round
While swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground
Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd never dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.

Arlo Guthrie | Last To Leave | /a/arlo+guthrie/last+to+leave_20246892.html | Lonely sunshine, days come easy,
Spend my time alone at rest,
And if I were the last to leave here,
Now would these roads be any less?
Oh, I'm the last to leave.
Now would these ribbon highway roads
Be less wonderful to me?
Why must I always be so slow?
Many friends come and go,
You know there's a lot of feelings that I've left behind,
And it's a lonely world, I know,
When your friends are hard to find.
But take the time, my memory fails,
And soak my eyes in the morning rain,
Like a sailor, sailing over Jordan,
On the road back home again.
Oh, I'm the last to leave.
Would these ribbon highway roads
Be less wonderful to me?
Why must I always be so slow?

Arlo Guthrie | Last Train | /a/arlo+guthrie/last+train_20247157.html | I want to hop on the last train in the station
Won't need to get yourself prepared
When you're on that last train for glory
You'll know you're reasonably there
Maybe you ain't walked on any highway
You've just been flyin' in the air
But if you're on that last train to glory
You'll know you must have paid your fare
Maybe you've been lying down in the jailhouse
Maybe you are hungry and poor
Maybe your ticket on the last train to glory
Is the stranger who is sleeping on your floor
I ain't a man of constant sorrow
I ain't seen trouble all day long
We are only passengers on the last train to glory
That will soon be long, long gone
I want to hop on the last train in the station
Won't need to get yourself prepared
When you're on the last train to glory
You'll know you're reasonably there

Arlo Guthrie | Lay Down Little Doggies | /a/arlo+guthrie/lay+down+little+doggies_20251211.html |
CHORUS:
LAY DOWN, LITTLE DOGGIES, LAY DOWN
WE'VE BOTH GOT TO SLEEP ON THE COLD, COLD GROUND
THE WINDS BLOWIN' COLDER AND THE SUN'S GOIN' DOWN
LAY DOWN, LITTLE DOGGIES, LAY DOWN
WE HIT THIS OLD BEEF TRAIL JUST TWO MONTHS AGO
WE BLISTERED IN THE SUN AND WE FROZE IN THE SNOW
IN TEN DAYS WE'RE COMIN TO A PACKING HOUSETOWN
SO LAY YOURSELVES DOWN, LITTLE DOGGIES, LAY DOWN
THIS DODGE CITY TRAIL SHE'S A HARD ROAD TO GO
UP THE TEXAS FLATLANDS THROUGH OLD MEXICO
I GOT DUST IN MY EYES AND MUD IN MY NOSE
SO LAY YOURSELVES DOWN, LITTLE DOGGIES, LAY DOWN
CHORUS
THAT BAD HOLE OF WATER WE DRUNK AND GOT SICK
CURLED UP OUT HAIR, TIED OUR TAILS BACK IN KINKS
WE GOT LOST IN A BLIND CANYON, TIPPY-TOEIN' AROUND
SO LAY YOURSELVES DOWN, LITTLE DOGGIES, LAY DOWN
HERE NOW WE COME TO THE END OF OUR TRAIL
YOUR HAIR, HIDE AND CARCASS TO THE STOCKYARDS I SELL
I'LL SEE YOU IN A TIN CAN WHEN YOU GET SHIPPED AROUND
SO LAY YOURSELVES DOWN, LITTLE DOGGIES, LAY DOWN
CHORUS

Arlo Guthrie | Living Like A Legend | /a/arlo+guthrie/living+like+a+legend_20249090.html | Coming down the highway, running like a wind
Gonna beat the sunset to the coast and back again
Moving through the shadows, almost going blind
Living like a legend before my time
If the road don't kill me, baby, I'll see you in the spring
Making up for lost time between us seems like everything
If I can make it home alright, you know, I'll treat you fine
Living like a legend before my time
I know, it wasn't easy for you, baby
With your man out on the road
So I'll be coming home tomorrow
To try to help you carry the load
I'm running out of highways and bridges to burn
This kind of living is taking its toll on what I've learned
You know, it ain't easy leaving you behind
Living like a legend before my time
But someday, baby, I'll be coming home to stay
Wrapped up in your warm love every night and every day
Ooh, I'm going out of my mind
Living like a legend before my time
I know, it wasn't easy for you, baby
With your man out on the road
So I'll be coming home tomorrow
To try to help you carry the load
I'll be getting up early 'cause I know, I'm coming home
I'm so tired of living this legend life alone
Kick off your shoes, babe, we'll drink a little wine
Forget about living like a legend before my time
Forget about living like a legend
Just forget about the road
So, look out for me, darling
On account of your man is coming home

Arlo Guthrie | Lord Grenville | /a/arlo+guthrie/lord+grenville_20596833.html | Go and tell Lord Grenville that the tide is on the turn
It's time to haul the anchor up and leave the land astern
We'll be gone before the dawn returns
Like voices onthe wind.
Go and tell Lord Grenville that our dreams have run aground
There's nothing here to keep us in this shanty town
None of us are caring where we're bound
Like voices on the wind.
And come the day you'll hear them saying
"They're throwing it all away"
Nothing more to say
Just throwing it all away.
Go and fetch the captain's log and tear the pages out
We're on our way to nowhere now, can't bring the helm about
None of us are left in any doubt
We won't be back again.
Send a message to the fleet, they'll search for us in vain
We won't be there among the reaches of the Spanish Main
Tell the ones we left home not to wait
We won't be back again.
And come the day you'll hear them saying
"They're throwing it all away"
Nothing more to say
Just throwing it all away.
Our time is just a point along a line
That runs forever with no end
I never thought that we would come to find
Ourselves upon these rocks again.
Go and tell Lord Grenville that the tide is on the turn...

Arlo Guthrie | Lovesick Blues | /a/arlo+guthrie/lovesick+blues_20247593.html | By Irving Mills and Cliff Friend
I got a feelin' called the blues,
Since my baby said good-bye
Lawd I don't know what l'll do
All I do is sit and sigh
That last long day she said goodbye
Well Lawd, I thought I would cry
She'd do me, she'd do you,
She's got that kind of lovin'
Lawd, I love to hear her
When she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you somehow
But I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome, I got the lovesick blues
I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
That's what's the matter with me
I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
But she don't care about me
Lawd I tried and tried to keep her satisfied
But she just wouldn't stay
So now that she is leavin'
This is all I say...

Arlo Guthrie | Manzanillo Bay | /a/arlo+guthrie/manzanillo+bay_20260987.html | Words and music by Robb (Rabbitt) MacKay
Some times when the sun goes down
And I'm lost in some other town
My thoughts may drift away
To Manzanillo Bay
And I can see a fisherman
His day's catch Iying on the sand
Underneath the palms that sway
Over Manzanillo Bay
CHORUS:
Now I'm missing your silver moon
Black sands and your blue lagoon
Some day I would like to be
Back next to your shining sea
Drinking rum from a conch shell
Caught up in your magic spell
Some day I would like to go
Back down to Mexico
I remember your fields of cane
Your warm breezes and jungle rains
And watching the children play
Over Manzanillo Bay
And out in your market square
The women sing out to sell their wares
I've got fresh shrimp today
From Manzanillo Bay
CHORUS
And under the spell of night
The bay reflecting the harbor light
You can hear the guitar play
Over Manzanillo Bay
And if you're thinking about romance
And you're willing to take a chance
Just pick any small cafe
In Manzanillo Bay
CHORUS
Some times when the sun goes down
And I'm lost in some other town
My thoughts may drift away
To Manzanillo Bay

Arlo Guthrie | Massachusetts | /a/arlo+guthrie/massachusetts_20252381.html | Like a dream in the night
As the snow settles white
There's a fire burning bright
In Massachusetts
And there's a house upon a hill
That keeps us from the chill
And by the grace of God
We will be in Massachusetts
You can tell me about the times you spent
In the Rockies and on the plains
Please don't think that I'm the last to say
That there ain't lots of other places
In this world that still remain
Beautiful and unchanged
But they're just not the same
The sun comes up to meet the dawn
And there's a day that must go on
There's another night that's gone
In Massachusetts
And I could spend all of my days
And remain each day amazed
At the way each day is phrased
In Massachusetts
You can tell me about the times you spent
In the Rockies and on the plains
Please don't think that I'm the last to say
That there ain't lots of other places
In this world that still remain
Beautiful and unchanged
But they're just not the same
Now if you could only see
I know you would agree
There ain't nowhere else to be
Like Massachusetts
And there's a house upon a hill
That keeps us from the chill
And by the grace of God
We will be in Massachusetts
Come on tell me about the time you spent
In the Rockies and on the plains
And please don't think that I'm the last to say
That there ain't lots of other places
In this world that still remain
Beautiful and unchanged
But they're just not the same as Massachusetts

Arlo Guthrie | Miss The Mississippi And You | /a/arlo+guthrie/miss+the+mississippi+and+you_20257452.html | I'm growing tired of the big city lights
Tired of the glamor, tired of the sights
In all my dreams, I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore
I am sad and weary far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you dear
Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam
Miss the Mississippi and you
Roaming the wide world over
Always along and blue, so blue
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome
Miss the Mississippi and you
Memories are bringing happy days of yore
Miss the Mississippi and you dear
Mocking birds are singing 'round the cabin door
Miss the Mississippi and you
Roaming the wide world over
Always alone and blue
Longing form my homeland, muddy water shore
Miss the Mississippi and you

Arlo Guthrie | Mystic Journey | /a/arlo+guthrie/the+mystic+journey_20268382.html | Words and music by James Rider
Just me and a friend roamin' around
Him a magician and I was a clown
Playin' the streets for a dollar a day
Waitin' for the right time and a sign to lead the way
Crossed over the border to a mystical land
Sort of unexpected didn't quite understand
On a razor's edge on a grain of sand
Onward we wandered to the gates of oblivion
On a roll of the dice we headed out west
Where the sage and and the spice attracted us
Shadows fell down like a dark groping hand
Saw the teeth of the wolves and the blood of the lambs
On a turn of the cards I lightened my load
Throwing off fear for the weakness it holds
On target and calm the vision was clear
Beyond the mirage I took for granted was here
On a flip of the coins we rode the coast
Tryin' to make the most of every situation
That we witnessed near at hand
On a drifter's crusade all over the land
Could it be in the stars in the passing of cars
At a table in the bar in a turn of the cards
In a change of your mind in the passing of time
In a ribbon of rhyme just down the line
Just me and a friend roamin' around
Him a magician I was a clown
Playin' the streets for a dollar a day
Waitin' for the right time and a sign to lead the way

Arlo Guthrie | Now And Then | /a/arlo+guthrie/now+and+then_20288135.html | Hello again the mornin' dawn has burned away
The midnight mist
Now and then I feel so fine
And now and then I don't feel lonely
Now and then and only in my mind
I want to go outside today go away, I think I'll stay
Now and then I talk with you
And now and then you turn me on
Now and then and when I don't feel blue
Maybe I could tell you now that I really love you
Pleased to understand that you are there, in the air
Now and then you turn me on
Now and then you must be gone
Now and then I said
Say so long, now and forever then

Arlo Guthrie | Oklahoma Hills | /a/arlo+guthrie/oklahoma+hills_20227701.html | Many a month has come and gone
Since I've wandered from my home
In those Oklahoma hills
Where I was born
Many a page of my life has turned
Many lessons I have learned
And I feel like in those hills
Where I belong
Way down yonder in the Indian nation
Ridin' my pony on the reservation
In the Oklahoma hills where I was born
Way down yonder in the Indian nation
A cowboy's life is my occupation
In the Oklahoma Hills where I was born
But as I sit here today
Many mile's I am away
From the place I rode my pony
Through the draw
Where the oak and black-jack trees
Kiss the playful prairie breeze
And I feel back in those hills
Where I belong
Now as I turn life a page
To the land of the great Osage
In those Oklahoma hills
Where I was born
Where the black oil rolls and flows
And the snow white cotton grows
And I feel like in those hills
Where I belong

Arlo Guthrie | Patriot's Dream | /a/arlo+guthrie/patriots+dream_20299733.html | Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Living now here but for fortune
Placed by fate's mysterious schemes
Who'd believe that we're the ones asked
To try to rekindle the patriot's dreams
Arise sweet destiny, time runs short
All of your patience has heard their retort
Hear us now for alone we can't seem
To try to rekindle the patriot's dreams
Can you hear the words being whispered
All along the American stream
Tyrants freed the just are imprisoned
Try to rekindle the patriot's dreams
Ah but perhaps too much is being asked of too few
You and your children with nothing to do
Hear us now for alone we can't seem
To try to rekindle the patriot's dreams

Arlo Guthrie | Percy's Song | /a/arlo+guthrie/percys+song_20295333.html | Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep
Turn, turn, turn again
Sayin' one of my friends is in trouble deep
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
Tell me the trouble, tell me once to my ears
Turn, turn, turn again
Juliet prison for ninety-nine years
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
A crash on the highway threw a car into a field
Turn, turn, turn again
There were four people killed and he was at the wheel
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
But I knew him as well as I know my own self
Turn, turn, turn again
And he wouldn't harm a life that belonged to someone else
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
That may be so said the judge from the side of his mouth
Turn, turn, turn again
But the witness who saw it, he left little doubt
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
He may, he may have a sentence to server
Turn, turn, turn again
But ninety-nine years, he just does not deserve
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
Too late, too late, for his case it is sealed
Turn, turn, turn again
A sentence, it is passed and it can not be repealed
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
But he ain't no criminal and his crime it is none
Turn, turn, turn again
And what happened to him could have happened to anyone
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
At that the judge jumped forward and his face it did freeze
Turn, turn, turn again
Sayin', ?Would you kindly leave my office now, please?
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
I squinted my eyes and I stood up slow
Turn, turn, turn again
With no other choice except for me to go
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
I walked down the hall and I heard his door slam
Turn, turn, turn again
I walked down the stairs but I did not understand
Turn, turn to the wind and the rain
And I played my guitar through the night and through the day
Turn, turn, turn again
But the only tune that my guitar would play
Was oh how cruel, the wind and the rain

Arlo Guthrie | Power Of Love | /a/arlo+guthrie/power+of+love_20300205.html | by T-Bone Burnett
The power of love can make a blind man see
Can bring a man to his knees
The power of love can make a sultan grieve
Can make a skeptic believe
[CHORUS:
The power of love is south of south
And scorches out all the doubt
The power of love is the name of names
And burns away all the pain
The power of love can make a gangster cry
Can make a loser try
The power of love can make a strong man weak
Can make a bigot meek
[CHORUS]
The power of love can make a coward brave
Can make a hero afraid
The power of love can make a miser give
Can make a dead man live
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]

Arlo Guthrie | Prologue | /a/arlo+guthrie/prologue_20296398.html | Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
In the event of my demise
Be sure to include this statement
When you are bent on closing my eyes
Thinking about what my life meant
Alone on a hill back in '65
Things looked a lot like changing
Singing our songs that we harmonized
Dreaming of worlds rearranging
And I don't know why I'm singing tonight
Maybe it's time someone told you
Just because you say you've seen the light
Doesn't mean nobody sold you
I can remember all of your smiles
During the demonstrations
Taking on what seemed like the whole world
Igniting the hearts of our nations
And together we sang our victory songs
Though we were worlds apart
Every thing then has now passed away
Except for the love in my heart
Sitting at home on computerized beds
Tryine to come to conclusions
Seeing reflections from rose-colored heads
Ignoring the states of illusion
Drunk in a world of material wealth
No one can notice you falling
Fantastic flights once good tor your health
Now make you deaf to your calling
And all alone the prophet groans
With words as yet unseen
Who'll be awake when the master returns
Who will be lost in their dreams
So in the event of my demise
8e sure to include this statement
Only the words of love kept alive
Are worthy of not being wasted

Arlo Guthrie | Ridin' Down The Canyon | /a/arlo+guthrie/ridin+down+the+canyon_20303863.html | When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains
And there's nothing left to do but lay around
I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down
White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere
Granite spires are standing all around
I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down
Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down
A picture that no artist 'ere could paint
Cactus plants are bloomin' on the mountain side
I hear a coyote calling to its mate
White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere
Granite spires are standing all around
I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down
White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere
Granite spires are standing all around
I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down
When evening chores are over at the ranch house on the plains
And there's nothing left to do but lay around
I saddle up my pony and go riding down the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down
White faced cattle lowing, sagebrush everywhere
Granite spires are standing all around
I'll tell you folks it's heaven to go ridin' down the trail
Just to watch the desert sun go down

Arlo Guthrie | Sailing Down This Golden River | /a/arlo+guthrie/sailing+down+this+golden+river_20240653.html | Words and music by Pete Seeger
Sailng down my golden river
Sun and water all my own
Yet I was never alone
Sun and water, old life givers
L'll have them where ere I roam
And I was not far from home
Sunlight glancing on the water
Life and death are all my own
Yet I was never alone
Life for all my sons and daughters
Golden sparkles in the foam
And I was not far from home
Sailing down this winding highway
Travelers from near and far
And I was never alone
Exploring all the little byways
Sighting all the distant stars
And I was not far from home
Sailing down my golden river
Sun and water all my own
Yet I was never alone
Sun and water, old life givers
L'll have them where ere I roam
And I was not far from home
Yet I was never alone
And I was not far from home

Arlo Guthrie | Somebody Turned On The Light | /a/arlo+guthrie/somebody+turned+on+the+light_20251765.html | I've been to wild Montana
I went there in a storm
My boots were Texas leather
My Levis wet and torn
I loved it in Montana
Loved it in the storm
I think I'm gonna cross that river
I just might be reborn
New York, New York, winter, '61
Takin' me a city ride
Somebody tall musta put out the lights
'Cause it got real dark outside
[Chorus:]
And I never saw the sun till '71
But I never gave up the fight
I sure was glad when I saw the dawn
Somebody, somebody turned on the light
Somebody turned on the light
Women, wine, and fast red cars
And I couldn't seem to read the signs
Somebody said, "Whose life is this?"
And I said that it can't be mine
[Chorus]
When the world is wrong, better right yourself
It'll make the dark clouds fly
Nobody tall can put out the lights
Just don't let the spirit die
If you never see the sun till '91
Don't you ever give up the fight
Sure be glad when you see the dawn
Somebody, somebody turns on the light
Somebody turns on the light

Arlo Guthrie | Someday | /a/arlo+guthrie/someday_20253749.html | Someday I'll be there with you
When you're there, I'll be there too
If you only knew
I will be with you
Someday we will meet again
When we meet, I'll see you then
If you only knew
I'll be there with you
It will make this farewell seem
Little more than but a dream
If you only knew
Dreams are often true
Someday I'll be there with you
When you're there, I'll be there too
If you only knew
I'll be there with you
Someday when we meet again
When we meet our sorrows end
If you only knew

Arlo Guthrie | Telephone | /a/arlo+guthrie/telephone_20319829.html | Every morning just as soon as it's light
Get out of bed and I'm feeling alright
Make me some coffee and I sit down alone
The rest of the day I'm on the telephone
Hang up, hold on
You got a dime so you come on so strong
Save your money and let me be
Hang up the phone and quit bothering me
I got a phone in my bedroom and one in the barn
A phone in my car and one in the yard
A phone on my saddle for when I'm out on the range
A phone in my pocket for when I'm down at the grange
Hang up, hold on
You got a dime so you come on so strong
Save your money and let me be
Hang up the phone and quit bothering me
Now with devaluation all over the land
The whole wide world has got more money in their hand
They'll be calling me up from Peking and Nome
I'm going to rip out my telephone

Arlo Guthrie | The Gal I Left Behind | /a/arlo+guthrie/the+gal+i+left+behind_20205532.html | I struck the trail in seventy-nine
The herd strung out behind me
As I jogged along my mind went back
To the gal I left behind
If I ever get off the trail, boys
And the Indians don't find me
I'll make my way straight back again
To the gal I left behind me
That sweet little gal, that true little gal
The gal I left behind me
That sweet little gal, that pretty little gal
The gal I left behind me
The wind did blow and the rain did flow
The hail did fall and blind me
And I thought of that gal, that sweet little gal
That gal I'd left behind me
She wrote ahead to a place I said
And I was glad to find it
She says "I'm true, when you get through
Ride back and you will find me"
That sweet little gal, that true little gal
The gal I left behind me
That sweet little gal, that pretty little gal
The gal I left behind me
When we sold out I took the train
I knew that I would find her
When I got back, we had a smack
And that's no gol-darned liar
That sweet little gal, that true little gal
The gal I left behind me
That sweet little gal, that pretty little gal
The gal I left behind me

I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want to die
I just want to ride on my motorcycle
It was late last night the other day
I thought I'd go up and see Ray
So l went up and I saw Ray
There was only one thing Ray could say, was:

Just last week I was on my bike
I run into a friend named Mike
Run into my friend named Mike
Mike no longer has a bike. He cries:

Chorus
This song is about the time that I was ridin' my motorcycle.
Going down a mountain road, at 150 miles an hour, playin'
My guitar. On one side of the mountain road there was a
Mountain, and on the other side there was nothin' - there was
A cliff in the air.
Now, when you're going down a mountain road at I50 miles
An hour you gotta be very careful, especially if you're playin'
A guitar. Especially if that guitar is an acoustic guitar.
Because if it's an acoustic guitar, the wind pressure is greater
On the box side than on the neck side, because there's
More guitar on the box side. I wasn't payin' attention..
Luckily I didn't go into the mountain - I went over the cliff.
I was goin' at 150 miles an hour sideways and 500 feet down
At the same time.
I knew it was the end. I looked down, I said ''Wow! Some
Trip". I thought it... Well I knew it was... I knew it was my last
Trip, and in my last remaining seconds in world, I decided
To write one last farewell song to the world.
Put a new ink cartridge in my pen. Took out a piece of paper.
I sat back and I thought awhile. Then I started writin':
I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want to die
Just want to ride on my motorcy... Cle. "
I knew that, it wasn't the best song l ever wrote, but I didn't
Have time to change it. I was comin' down mighty fast.
But as you all know, and as fate would have it, I didn't die. I
Landed on the top of a police car. And he died. I drove away
On the road that he was on. I came into town at a screamin'
175 miles an hour, playin' the motorcycle song.
I came into town, I jumped off my bike, the bike went around
The corner by itself, went up on the stand by itself, turned
Itself off.
I walked over to my friend. He was standin' there eatin'
Pickles. I said "Hi, what's happenin'?" He looked at me in the
Eye and said "Nothin'".
You gotta sing it with that kind of enthusiasm. Like you just
Squashed a cop...

Arlo Guthrie | The Pause Of Mr. Claus | /a/arlo+guthrie/the+pause+of+mr+claus_20292956.html | This next song we're going to dedicate to a great American
Organization. Tonight I'd like to dedicate this to our boys
In the FBI.
Well, wait a minute. It's hard to be an FBI man. I mean, first
Of all, being an FBI man, you have to be over 40 years old.
And the reason is that it takes at least 25 years with the
Organization to be that much of a bastard. It's true. You just
Can't join, you know. It needs an atmosphere where your
Natural bastardness can grow and develop and take a
Meaningful shape in today's complex society.
But that's not why I want to dedicate the song to the FBI. I
Mean, the job that they have to do is a drag. I mean, they have
To follow people around, you know. That's part of their job.
Follow me around.
I'm out on the highway and I'm drivin' down the road and I
Run out of gasoline. I pull over to the side of the road. They
Gotta pull over too - make believe that they ran out, you
Know.
I go to get some gasoline. They have to figure out whether
They should stick with the car or follow me. Suppose I don't
Come back and they're stayin' with the car.
Or if I fly on the airplanes, I could fly half fare because I'm 12
To 22. And they gotta pay the full fare. But the thing is that
When you pay the full fare, you have to get on the airplane
First, so that they know how many seats are left over for the
Half fare kids. Right? And sometimes there aren't any seats
Left over, and sometimes there are, but that doesn't mean that
You have to go.
Suppose that he gets on and fills up the last seat, so you can't
Get on. Then he gets off then you can get on. What's he gonna
Do?
Well, it's a drag for him. But that

Arlo Guthrie | The Streets Of Laredo | /a/arlo+guthrie/streets+of+laredo_20328407.html | As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a poor cowboy wrapped up in white linen
All wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay
""I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy""
These words he did say as I proudly stepped by
""Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die
""'Twas once in the saddle I used to go ridin'
Once in the saddle I used to go gay
First lead to drinkin', and then to card-playing
I'm shot in the breast and I'm dying today
""Let six jolly cowboys come carry my coffin
Let six pretty gals come to carry my pall
Throw bunches of roses all over my coffin
Throw roses to deaden the clods as they fall
""Oh, beat the drum slowly, and play the fife lowly
And play the dead march as you carry me along
Take me to the green valley and lay the earth o'er me
For I'm a poor cowboy and I know I've done wrong""
We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly
And bitterly wept as we carried him along
For we all loved our comrade, so brave, young and handsome
We all loved our comrade although he done wrong

Arlo Guthrie | This Land Is Your Land | /a/arlo+guthrie/this+land+is+your+land_20518599.html | Words and music by Woody Guthrie
Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side.... It didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
Chorus
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.
Chorus (2x)

Babe, when you come turn me down
Trifled on me for your last time
When I come home at night
Why you always start a fight?
Now, babe I want you to know
You left your motor runnin' slow
I got off and got on a faster line
Got me a baby that's got some dough
When you gotta go, you gotta go
Gonna leave you and ease
This troubled mind of mine
There's no need to talk to you
'Cause you know that we are through
I can find a better place to spend my time
Now if I stay out late
You know I'm swingin' on another gate
Gonna leave you and ease this
Troubled mind of mine
Now baby I want you to know
You left your motor runnin' slow
I got off and got on a faster line
Got me a baby that's got some sense
Gonna leave you to ease this
Troubled mind of mine
There's no need to talk to you
'Cause you know that we are through
I can find a better place to spend my time
Now if I stay out late
You know I'm swingin' on another gate
Gonna leave you and ease this
Troubled mind of mine

Arlo Guthrie | Ukulele Lady | /a/arlo+guthrie/ukulele+lady_20518598.html | I saw the splendor of the moonlight
On Honolulu Bay
There's something tender in the moonlight
On Honolulu Bay
And all the beaches are filled with peaches
Who bring their ukes along
And in the glimmer of the moonlight
They love to sing this song
1:
If you like Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like a'you
If you like to linger where it's shady
Ukulele Lady linger too
If you kiss Ukulele Lady
While you promise ever to be true
And she sees another Ukulele
Lady foolin' 'round with you
2:
Maybe she'll sigh (an awful lot)
Maybe she'll cry (and maybe not)
Maybe she'll find somebody else
By and by
To sing to when it's cool and shady
Where the tricky wicky wacky woo
If you like Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like a'you
She used to sing to me by moonlight
On Honolulu Bay
Fond memories cling to me by moonlight
Although I'm far away
Some day I'm going, where eyes are glowing
And lips are made to kiss
To see somebody in the moonlight
And hear the song I miss

Arlo Guthrie | Uncle Jeff | /a/arlo+guthrie/uncle+jeff_20270075.html | Uncle Jeff played the fiddle in his Colorado home
And I backed him on the banjo so he didn't play alone
We've got five generations of a fiddle playin' clan
And it's nice to hear a fiddle by a fiddle playin' man
Here's another song for Uncle Jeff Guthrie
Written on the road by the light of the moon
Thinkin' 'bout fiddlin' somewhere up in Michigan
I hope that I can make it back to Colorado soon
Well, my daddy had a fiddle, and he laid it on his son
Sayin', "Son, play the fiddle like your fiddlin' folks done."
Well, it's hard to learn to fiddle
When you're fiddlin' on the run
But fiddlin' is fiddlin', and fiddlin' is fun

Arlo Guthrie | Under Cover Of Night | /a/arlo+guthrie/under+cover+of+night_20272369.html | Words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Truth is you've been waiting so long
You're ripe and so insane
Can the tentacles of your mind stop the pain
How long will you sit there wondering
What's happening to your heart
Can't you fell the love surround you - That's a start
Chorus:
I'll take to the road in a little while
Under cover of night
You come or you stay
Whatever seems right
I ain't looking for friends or lovers
Ain't looking for a pot of gold
Had it all when I was younger - It got old
Who will leave this world of sorrow
Who will die to all the fears
Kowning I'll be gone tommorow - Gone for years
Chorus
Somewhere the sun's just rising
And the road comes in to view
There's a wanderer freed from dying - Could be you
Who will pay the price for freedom
Learn the disciplines of the road
Many tried but few succeed - So I'm told

Now there's a new craze a-goin' 'round
It's gettin' bigger in most every town
From New York City out to Hollywood
Got everybody in the neighborhood

Down in the unemployment line
You got yourself a place and I got mine
We been here waitin' since the clock struck nine
Down in the unemployment line
Now every day you've got to fight the horde
Just to read what's on the bulletin board
When you go back and try and claim your space
Some other sucker come and stole your place
CHORUS
I hope the people in the government
Tell us how we're gonna pay the rent
How we're gonna get enough to eat
No that the workin' man is obsolete
If things keep goin' like they seem they do
Won't be long before they're down here too
And they can be a part of this here mob
Workin' nine to five to find a job

Arlo Guthrie | Utah Carroll | /a/arlo+guthrie/utah+carroll_20314424.html | Arranged and adapted by Arlo Guthrie
So you ask me my kind friend
Why I am sad and still
And why my brow is darkened
Like the clouds upon the hill
Rein in your ponies closer
And I'll tell you all a tale
Of Utah Carroll, partner
And his last ride on the trail
In a grave without a headstone
Without a date or name
My partner lies there silent
In the land from which I came
Long ago we rode together
We'd ridden side by side
I loved him like a brother
And I wept when Utah died
While riding up one morning
And our work was almost done
The cattle quickly started
On a wild and maddening run
The boss's little daughter
Who was riding on that side
Rushed in to stop the stampede
It was there my partner died
Lenore upon her pony
Tried to turn the cattle right
But her blanket slipped beneath her
And she caught and held on tight
When we all saw that red blanket
Each cowboy held his breath
For should her pony fail her
None could save the girl from death
When the cattle saw the blanket
Almost dragging on the ground
They were maddened in a moment
And they charged with deafening sound
The girl soon saw her danger
And she turned her pony's face
And bending in her saddle
Tried the blanket to replace
Just then she lost her balance
In the front of that wild tide
Carroll's voice controlled the round up
"Lie still, Lenore" he cried
And then close up beside her
Came Utah riding fast
But little did the poor boy know
The ride would be his last
Full often from the saddle
He had caught the trailing rope
To pick her up at full speed
Was now his only hope
He swung low from his saddle
To take her to his arm
We thought that he'd succeeded
That the girl was safe from harm
But such a strain upon his saddle
Had ne'er been put before
And the cinches gave beneath him
And he fell beside Lenore
When the girl fell from her saddle
She had dragged the blanket down
It lay there close beside them
Where they lay upon the ground
Utah took the blanket
And to Lenore he said
"Lie still" and quickly running
Waved the red thing o'er his head
He turned the maddened cattle
From Lenore, his little friend
And as the mighty herd rushed toward him
He turned to met his end
And as the herd came on him
His weapon quickly drew
He was bound to die defended
As all brave cowboys do
The weapon flashed like lightning
And it sounded loud and clear
As the cattle rushed and killed him
He dropped the leading steer
When I broke through that wide circle
To where poor Utah lay
With a thousand wounds and bruises
His life blood ebbed away
I knelt down close beside him
And I knew that all was o'er
As I heard him faintly whisper
"Good-bye, my sweet Lenore"
Next morning at the churchyard
I heard the preacher say
"Don't think our kind friend Utah
Was lost on that great day
He was a much-loved cowboy
And not afraid to die
And we'll meet him at the round up
On the plains beyond the sky"
So you ask me my kind friend
Why I am sad and still
And why my brow is darkened
Like the clouds upon the hill
Rein in your ponies closer
And I'll tell you all a tale
Of Utah Carroll, partner
And his last ride on the trail

Arlo Guthrie | Victor Jara | /a/arlo+guthrie/victor+jara_20332274.html | Words by Adrian Mitchell, music by Arlo Guthrie
Victor Jara of Chile
Lived like a shooting star
He fought for the people of Chile
With his songs and his guitar
His hands were gentle, his hands were strong
Victor Jara was a peasant
He worked from a few years old
He sat upon his father's plow
And watched the earth unfold
His hands were gentle, his hands were strong
Now when the neighbors had a wedding
Or one of their children died
His mother sang all night for them
With Victor by her side
His hands were gentle, his hands were strong
He grew up to be a fighter
Against the people's wrongs
He listened to their grief and joy
And turned them into songs
His hands were gentle, his hands were strong
He sang about the copper miners
And those who worked the land
He sang about the factory workers
And they knew he was their man
His hands were gentle, his hands were strong
He campaigned for Allende
Working night and day
He sang "Take hold of your brothers hand
You know the future begins today"
His hands were gentle, his hands were strong
Then the generals seized Chile
They arrested Victor then
They caged him in a stadium
With five-thousand frightened men
His hands were gentle, his hands were strong
Victor stood in the stadium
His voice was brave and strong
And he sang for his fellow prisoners
Till the guards cut short his song
His hands were gentle, his hands were strong
They broke the bones in both his hands
They beat him on the head
They tore him with electric shocks
And then they shot him dead
His hands were gentle, his hands were strong
Repeat first verse

Arlo Guthrie | When A Soldier Makes It Home | /a/arlo+guthrie/when+a+soldier+makes+it+home_20338803.html | Halfway around the world tonight
In a strange and foreign land
A soldier packs his memories
As he leaves Afghanistan
And back home, they don't know too much
There's just no way to tell
I guess you had to be there
For to know that war was hell
And there won't be any victory parades
For those that's coming back
They'll fly them in at midnight
And unload the body sacks
And the living will be walking down
A long and lonely road
Because nobody seems to care these days
When a soldier makes it home
They'll say it wasn't easy
Just another job, well done
As the government in Kabul falls
To the sounds of rebel guns
And the faces of the comrades
Being blown out of the sky
Leaves you bitter with the feeling
That they didn't have to die
And there won't be any victory parades
For those that's coming back
They'll fly them in at midnight
And unload the body sacks
And the living will be walking down
A long and lonely road
Because nobody seems to care these days
When a soldier makes it home
Halfway around the world tonight
In a strange and foreign land
A soldier unpacks memories
That he saved from Vietnam
Back home they didn't know too much
There was just no way to tell
I guess you had to be there
For to know that war was hell
And there wasn't any big parades
For those that made it back
They flew them in at midnight
And unloaded all the sacks
And the living were left walking down
A long and lonely road
Because nobody seemed to care back then
When a soldier made it home
The night is coming quickly
And the stars are on their way
As I stare into the evening
Looking for the words to say
That I saw the lonely soldier
Just a boy that's far from home
And I saw that I was just like him
While upon this earth I roam
And there may not be any big parades
If I ever make it back
As I come home under cover
Through a world that can't keep track
Of the heroes who have fallen
Let alone the ones who won't
Which is why nobody seems to care
When a soldier makes it home

Cattle prowl and the coyotes howl
Out on the Great Divide
Never done no wrong, just singin' a song
As down the trail I ride
Rattle snakes rattle at the prairie dogs
You can hear that mournful tune
'Cause it's round-up time, a-way out west
When the cactus is in bloom
Yodel...
CHORUS
Daylight comes and the cowhands yell
They call out every man
Throw my saddle on my old cow horse
I drink my coffee from a can
The sun goes down on the cattle trail
And I'm gazin' at the moon
'Cause it's round-up time, a-way out west
When the cactus is in bloom
Yodel . . .
Now we don't have cold weather
It never snows or rains
This is where the sun shines best
Out on the western plains
Some of the boys are gone away
But they will be back soon
'Cause it's round-up time, a-way out west
When the cactus is in bloom
Yodel...

Arlo Guthrie | When The Ship Comes In | /a/arlo+guthrie/when+the+ship+comes+in_20338745.html | Oh, the time will come up when the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be breathin'
Like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins
The hour that the ship comes in
And the sea will split and the ships will hit
And the sands on the shoreline will be shakin?
And the tide will pound and the wind will sound
And the mornin? will be a breakin?
The fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
And the seagulls, they'll be a smilin?
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they're spoken
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
And be buried on the bottom of the ocean
A song will lift as the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in
And then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
For your weary toes to be a touchin'
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watchin'
Oh, the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real
The hour that the ship comes in
Then they'll raise their hands sayin', we'll meet all your demands
But we'll shout from the bow, your days are numbered
And like Pharaoh's tribe they'll be drowned there in the tide
And like Goliath they'll be conquered

Will surely shine you'll see

Not many people really know why
He's got a cell phone and a backstage pass
He's got a big gut and a big fat ass

Big fat road manager
He plugs in guitars and microphone jacks (Big fat road manager)

At an all-you-can-eat buffet (Big fat road manager)
But if he can come to terms (Big fat road manager)
He will manage the Arrogant Worms

Arrogant Worms | Billy Themepark Shark | /a/arrogant+worms/billy+themepark+shark_20009382.html | I'm a shark, I'm a shark,
A killer of the ocean,
I'm a shark, I'm a shark,
And silently I strike.
I'm a shark, I'm a shark,
I'm dumber than a tree,
I only have three thoughts and they are: eat, swim, ... Eat.
(He's a shark, he's a shark,)
I was swimming in the ocean,
(He's a shark, he's a shark,)
I got picked up by a boat.
A team of lonely fishermen sold me to a park,
And now my name is Billy, I'm a Theme Park Shark.
Billy, the themepark shark,
Performing tricks for tourists that have payed five bucks a head.
Billy, the themepark shark,
He looks just like a killer, but he's too well-fed.
The sight of blood once put me in a frenzy,
Now it means that it's time to clean the pool...
I'm a shark, I'm a shark,
I'm swimming in a pool,
I'm a shark, I'm a shark,
I don't have to fight for food,
I get three meals a day, and some extra on the weekend
And I'm the only shark I know who has a dental plan.
Who has a dental plan.
(He's a shark, he's a shark,)
And I'm a big attraction.
(He's a shark, he's a shark,)
They love to watch me jump,
I've been the star for years and I've never been for sale,
At least until the owners think they need a killer whale.
Billy, the themepark shark,
Jumping out football nets suspended overhead,
Billy, the themepark shark,
He looks just like a killer, but he's too well-fed.
I'm a shark, I'm a shark,
But I'm not in my natural habitat,
He's fat and old and lazy,
But I'm happy you're here.
I really hope these activists don't free Billy,
'cause out there in the wild, I'd be dead.
The sight of bloodworms put him in a feeding frenzy,
Now it means that it's time to clean the pool.
Billy, the themepark shark
Performing tricks for tourists that have payed five bucks a head,
Billy, the themepark shark,
He looks just like a killer, in the wild, he'd be dead.
Oh, Billy, (Billy) Billy, (Billy)
The number one attraction of an aqua petting zoo.
Billy, (Billy) Billy, (Billy)
The poster fish of tourism Iowa!

Arrogant Worms | Bottle Of Booze | /a/arrogant+worms/bottle+of+booze_20162780.html | There are many wonders in the usa
The cities and the people, and Disney World, hooray!
But coming back to Canada with joy the heart does ooze
'Cause when you get to the border, you buy a bottle of booze.
You buy a bottle of booze
You buy a bottle of booze
When you get to the border, you buy a bottle of booze.
You buy a bottle of booze
You buy a bottle of booze
When you get to the border, you buy a bottle of booze.
I was traveling with a gentleman who didn't like to drink
When we got to the border, I commenced to think
I said, "Do me a favour" and he did not refuse
When we got to the border, he bought me a bottle of booze.
You buy a bottle of booze
You buy a bottle of booze
When you get to the border, you buy a bottle of booze.
You buy a bottle of booze
You buy a bottle of booze
When you get to the border, you buy a bottle of booze.
You may be in a comedy act, touring through the 'States
You're playing hard in country bars, things aren't going great
A fight breaks out at the pool table, you run before you bruise
But you call the tour successful and buy a bottle of booze.
You buy a bottle of booze
You buy a bottle of booze
When you get to the border, you buy a bottle of booze.
You buy a bottle of booze
You buy a bottle of booze
When you get to the border, you buy a bottle of booze.
Ok, the sad verse now, the sad verse:
A friend of mine came to me, his face awash in tears
For he could afford the spirit that gave him cheers (aww)
I said, "Aw! Stop yer cryin'! I'll wash away those blues...
When I was at the border, I bought ya a bottle of booze! "
You buy a bottle of booze (hey!)
You buy a bottle of booze (hey!)
When you get to the border, you buy a bottle of booze.
You buy a bottle of booze (hey!)
You buy a bottle of booze (hey!)

Arrogant Worms | Boy Band | /a/arrogant+worms/boy+band_20163774.html | You know something girl? I'm thinking about you right now.
You don't want to know what I'm thinking, girl.
Or... or do you?
Girl, you think I'm the bomb,
But I'm old enough to be dating your mom. And I did.
She wasn't that bad, but you're grounded if you tell your dad
That you like the way we dance, with rock-hard abs and plastic pants.
You give us teddy bears,
And in return we shave our chest hairs. Yeah, we're so manly.
'Cause we're singing in a boy band.
The words are stupid, and the music's bland.
Never see a dime for selling out to the man.
Yeah, we're a boy band.
We say we met in church, but we're a product to market research.
We sing about sex, to little girls who shouldn't think about sex yet.
It's not like they listen, it's not like they care.
'Cause when we sweat our bodies glisten.
We like the color blue. (blue, blue)
And we're appearing at a mall near you, right beside the food court.
'Cause we're singing in a boy band.
The words are stupid, and the music's bland.
No one likes us here, but we're big in Japan.
Yeah, we're a boy band.
Throw your hands up in the air,
And wave them around like you just don't care.
You just don't care, you just don't care,
Now bring your hands down from the air.
Doo doo doot doot doot, doo doo doot doot doot
Doo doo doot doot doot, doo doo doot doot doot
Doo doo doot doot doot, doo doo doot doot doot
Doo doo doot doot doot, doo doo doot doot doot
Doo doo doot ahh ahh ahh ahh.
'Cause we're singing in a boy band.
The words are stupid and the music's bland.
Another pollutant in the pop wasteland.
Yeah, we're a boy band.
Yeah, we're a boy band.
Yeah, we're a boy band.

Arrogant Worms | Carrot Juice Is Murder | /a/arrogant+worms/carrot+juice+is+murder_20009361.html | Listen up brothers and sisters come hear my desperate tale
I speak of our friends of nature trapped in the dirt like a jail
Vegetables live in oppression, served on our tables each night
This killing of veggies is madness, I say we take up the fight
Salads are only for murderers, coleslaw's a fascist regime
Don't think that they don't have feelings, just cause a radish can't scream
[Chorus]
I've heard the screams of the vegetables (scream, scream, scream)
Watching their skins being peeled (having their insides revealed)
Grated and steamed with no mercy (burning off calories)
How do you think that feels (bet it hurts really bad)
Carrot juice constitutes murder (and that's a real crime)
Greenhouses prisons for slaves (let my vegetables go)
It's time to stop all this gardening (it's dirty as hell)
Let's call a spade a spade (is a spade is a spade is a spade)
I saw a man eating celery, so I beat him black and blue
If he ever touches a sprout again, I'll bite him clean in two
I'm a political prisoner, trapped in a windowless cage
Cause I stopped the slaughter of turnips by killing five men in a rage
I told the judge when he sentenced me, "This is my finest hour,
I'd kill those farmers again just to save one more cauliflower"
[Chorus]
How low as people do we dare to stoop,
Making young broccolis bleed in the soup?
Untie your beans, uncage your tomatoes
Let potted plants free, don't mash that potato!
Oh spare the spud! Eat a cow instead!
I've heard the screams of the vegetables (scream, scream, scream)
Watching their skins being peeled (fates in the stir-fry are sealed)
Grated and steamed with no mercy (you fat gourmet slob)
How do you think that feels? (leave them out in the field)
Carrot juice constitutes murder (V8's genocide)
Greenhouses prisons for slaves (yes, your composts are graves)
It's time to stop all this gardening (take up macrame)
Let's call a spade a spade
(is a spade, is a spade, is a spade, is a spade......)
Power to the peas! Give peas a chance!
all we are saying, is give peas a chance

Arrogant Worms | Celine Dion | /a/arrogant+worms/celine+dion_20009346.html | I think I've got a crush on Celine Dion
The way she beats her chest when she sings a love song
There's something about her makes me want to feed her
And I'd love to be Mister Celine Dion
She'll sing a song in English, and she'll sing en francais
Both the songs will suck, but I love her anyway
She's full of emotion, I'm full of devotion
For Celine and I'll be hers someday
Oh Celine Dion, you soft-rock my world
Won't you please be mine Celine
I would do anything, if you'd be my girl
Oh, be my girl Celine
I sent you cards and letters, but you don't respond
You play hard to get, but my heart goes on and on (and on and on, etc...)
I just wanna say, je aimerez
And I can see your house from my van
Oh Celine Dion, you soft-rock my world
Won't you please be mine Celine
I would do anything, if you'd be my girl
Oh, be my girl Celine
Celine Celine
Her skin's so soft and clean
Just like porcelain
I wish she'd slather me
With a tub of Vaseline
(That was a little creepy) I'm sorry, Celine
Celine Celine

Arrogant Worms | Christmas Blues | /a/arrogant+worms/christmas+blues_20009331.html | Christmas is here, where did the time go?
Got to load up the reindeer, put on my red suit and go
I use to like Christmas, but every year it gets worse
Getting gift to six billion people is just too much damn work
Got the Christmas blues, man this job is killing me
And most of these stupid new houses don't even have chimneys
I use to be jolly, now I'm depressed
Had a twinkle in my eye, now I've got a bullet proof vest
'cause if the pace don't kill me, some gun totting yahoo will
They keep shooting at me like I'm some sort of big fat red criminal
Got the Christmas blues, I'm starting to see
That I gotta be some sort of loser to get paid in milk and cookies
I've grown to hate kids, especially their mail
Always asking me for stuff, well guess what I don't care, oh
Maybe I'm getting cranky as I get old
'cause I feel like giving them all a big lump of coal
Got the Christmas blues, man, enough is enough
Next year you can find some other sucker to deliver this stuff
Got the Christmas blues, I tell you I'm gonna quit
And find me a steady job with good benefits

Arrogant Worms | Christmas Hangover | /a/arrogant+worms/christmas+hangover_20009332.html | The holidays are over, you've gained twenty pounds
The cat's choking on tinsel, pine needles stalk the ground
There are no cards in the mailbox, just a stack of bills
Yes, the holidays are over and you are feeling ill
Have a happy Christmas hangover
It's the most miserable time of the year
The eggnog's made you fat, the party is over
'Cept for your wacky Uncle who is still drinking your beer
Turkey's great on Christmas bur after a whole month
Of turkey pie stew and pie you start to dread lunch
Breakfast is much scarier 'cause all there is to eat
Is fourteen Christmas cakes and a bag of cranberries
Have a happy Christmas hangover
It's the most miserable time of the year
Your uncle's in the bathroom and granny's on the sofa
And you start to wish that they'd just disappear
You ate too many liquor-filled chocolates
Got no money left in your pockets
But at least you got lots of
Ugly sweaters and bow ties and socks
(And twenty-two calenders!)
You're skin is pale and pasty, your energy is spent
Along with all the money you need to pay the rent
The children are all crying 'cause they've broken all their toys
Is this misery worth one day of joy?
Have a happy Christmas hangover
It's the most miserable time of the year
Your uncle has passed out on granny on the sofa
And you start to wish that you could disappear
And you start to wish that you cold disappear

Arrogant Worms | Christmas In Ignace | /a/arrogant+worms/christmas+in+ignace_20009333.html | It's Christmas in Ignace
Mommy's got a rock
She'll give it to Daddy
It's Christmas in Ignace (It's Christmas in Ignace)
It's Christmas in Ignace
Daddy's got a rock
He'll give it to Mommy
It's Christmas in Ignace (It's Christmas in Ignace)
It's a jolly time (here in Ignace)
As we decorate the Christmas Rock
It's a happy time
And if the children are good they'll get toys to play with
Like rocks
It's Christmas in Ignace
Bob's got a rock
But he's gonna keep it
It's Christmas in Ignace (It's Christmas in Ignace)
It's Christmas in Ignace
Jill's got a rock
She gives it to Bob
Now he's got two
It's Christmas in Ignace (It's Christmas in Ignace)
It's a jolly time
As we sit and watch Rocky 1,2,3,4,5
It's a happy time
Except for Malcolm
His tongue is stuck to the sign that says,
"Welcome to Ignace"
It's Christmas in Ignace
And all through the houses
Not a creature is stirring
Except for the rats
That live here in Ignace
Under the rocks
That are played with by children
And thrown at Malcolm
Who's still stuck to the sign that says
"Welcome to Ignace"
It's Christmas in Ignace (It's Christmas in Ignace)

Arrogant Worms | Christmas Sucks | /a/arrogant+worms/christmas+sucks_20009335.html | One year I got a dog for Christmas
And I gave it to the boy next door
Then I gave him my bike and my mom's bank card
'cause that's what Christmas is for
I used to give a lot at Christmas
You might say I gave to much
Until my family was broke and we had no place to live
That's why, Christmas Sucks
I went down to the mall each Christmas
Had to the Santa what to bring
A train, a bike, a pony and a great big pile of cash
And please don't get my sister anything
But the shopping mall Santa has been drinking
His nose is red from years of drinking scotch
He probably won't remember what's on my Christmas list
This Father Christmas sucks
Chorus:
Christmas Sucks, Christmas Sucks
Getting stuff is much for fun, you gotta look out for number one
Christmas Sucks
Christmas became worse as years went by
It was the most dreaded time of year
My parents got me clothes that just weren't cool
When all I want is money to buy beer
There was a girl at church who I was sweet on
So in the Christmas play I was the ox
I really think she liked me til I stepped on Baby Jesus
Even for our savious Christmas Sucks
Chorus
Now that I am thirty-wight years old
The only things I get are ties and socks
My kids are never happy with what's under the tree
Soon they'll understand Christmas Sucks
Every freakin' year Christmas Sucks
Christmas Sucks, Christmas Sucks, Christmas Sucks

Arrogant Worms | Christmas Turkey Blues | /a/arrogant+worms/christmas+turkey+blues_20009336.html | Hey kid, why the long face
Is it 'cause Santa Clause is flying right over your place
You've been a bad kid all year
So quit you snivellin' sucker and wipe up them tears
You don't deserve a damn thing
You're not even cute and your attitude stinks
It must suck to be you
Nobody likes you so what can you do
You think you got problems kid, you think you got strife
But come each December do you fear for your life
I'm your turkey so your troubles are small
I'm stuffed on your table, I'm a tasty butterball
I've got the christmas turkey blues
If you got your necked ripped out then you'd have them too
I've got the christmas turkey blues
You chase me and waste and baste me and taste me and drown me in gravy too
You sir, you look like heck
Didn't you get your Christmas bonus cheque
Or maybe your woman left you
Ripped your heart right out of your chest and spat on it too
Is that why you're wreaking of gin
You look dishevelled and there's drool on your chin
You thought that this love would laugh
But she said Merry Christmas baby and she booted your ass
Well that's tough for you mister, too bad about your ordeal
How about getting stuffed in the wintertime, see how you feel
I don't get to yank no bones or make me a wish
It won't be long til I'm just some scraps on a dish
I've got the christmas turkey blues
If your butt was stuffed and roasted then you'd have then too
I've got the christmas turkey blues
You chase me and waste and baste me and taste me and drown me in gravy too

Arrogant Worms | Dog Named Bob | /a/arrogant+worms/dog+named+bob_20646341.html | I once had a dog named Bob
And Bob's a funny name for a dog
If you're gonna get a dog, don't name him Bob
My neighbour's name is also Bob
And every time I call my dog
My neighbour Bob shows up without my dog
Hey, Bob, not you, Bob
I'm looking for my dog
Have you seen my dog named Bob?
My dog named Bob
Bob the dog drank antifreeze
I got a new dog named Jeez
So I could yell "Oh Jeez!" just when I please
And when Jehovah's Witnesses
Come to my house in Saturdays
I ask them if they'd like to witness Jeez
Holy Jeez, they fell on their knees
They beg me, "Please, can we meet Jeez, pretty please?"
Oh Holy Jeez
Well those Jehovah's Witnesses
Called the Humane Society
They took my Jeez away from me
And then the Catholic diosces
Made a big deal out of Jeez
And now I have to pay to go see Jeez
Hey, Jeez, remember me?
Remember the beach and playing Frisbee with me?
For the love of Jeez

And cancer from smoking
And smothered while sleeping
And blood will start seeping
So I have found, you'll end up in the ground
And you'll be dead
So I have found, you'll end up in the ground
I wish there was an option instead
But you'll be dead
Dead
Maybe with a bullet in your head
But you'll be dead
Dead
Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very dead

Arrogant Worms | Drink With Me | /a/arrogant+worms/drink+with+me_20188861.html | Drink with me! Drink with me! Drink with me! Drink with me...
I'm startin' to see double, and I just fell of my stool!
I'm sluring all my words and I'm covered in my own drool!
I threw up on my girlfriend and we got into a fight.
Man oh man, what a fargin' great night!
Well, I wake up the next morning and my brain is full of pain!
And I swear to god, I will never drink again.
But, six o'clock rolls around, and there's nothing on T. V.,
So I call up all my buddies, and they come drink with me! Oh
Drink with me... Have a drink to you're health
Then go and throw up on yourself!
Drink with me! Drink with me! Drink with me! Ar!
Well, after six or seven pints I figured I was hosed,
So I had another five until the bar was closed.
I staggered back to my place and I cracked another crate!
When I woke up at sunset I was wearing what I ate.
I threw up in the bathroom it's amazing what I saw!
Peas and corn and bicycle parts and meat that still looked raw!
I stumbled to the kitchen and I had myself a beer!
Alchohol, alchohol you are a friend so dear! So!
Drink with me...
Drink for England drink for France! Drink until you pee your Pants!
Drink with me! Drink with me! Drink with me! Ar!
Woke up at six P. M. I needed liquor and a friend!
So I grabbed a couple bottles and a pig out of it's pen.
Drank a bottle of tequila, playing stupid drinking games,
Then, wandered out into the snow and tried to pee our names.
We staggered to a bar and we ordered up a pint!
The waiter said he couldn't, he said "We don't serve swine! '
The pig, he punched the waiter, grabbed the drinks and oinked at him.
That's no way to talk to my new best friend!
Drink with me...
Ninetynine bottles of beer on the wall! Me and the pig'll drink them all!
Drink with me! Drink with me! Drink with me! Ar!

Arrogant Worms | Going Hunting | /a/arrogant+worms/going+hunting_20646340.html | Well me an' my buddies we got us some beer
And a great big bottle of rye
And boxes of ammo and guns to go with 'em
And good old Charlie's glass eye
Well we looked all around so we sees all of nature
So calm and so serene
But not for long 'cause we're gonna use guns
To make furry animals scream
'Cause we're goin' huntin'
We're gonna kill somethin'
I don't care what it is
Maybe a raccoon, maybe a gopher,
Maybe the neighbour's kids!
We're goin' huntin'
We're gonna kill somethin'
I don't care what it is
Maybe a raccoon, maybe a gopher,
Maybe the neighbour's kids!
Well off we go, our guns are loaded
And so's are we
We weaves through the bushes and falls on our faces
And piss on the nice trees
And then we spot something moving an' a rustle
We pump it full of lead
And smile real wide as we hear it scream
And thud as it falls down dead
'Cause we're goin' huntin'
We're gonna kill somethin'
I don't care what it is
Maybe a raccoon, maybe a gopher,
Maybe the neighbour's kids!
We're goin' huntin'
We're gonna kill somethin'
I don't care what it is
Maybe a raccoon, maybe a gopher,
Maybe the neighbour's kids!
Well off we go to see what we killed
And watch the damn thing bleed
The first thing we see is a bright orange cap
And we shot down Ol' Charlie
But he don't to mind, he smiled all the time
He died real happy
But next time he should tell us
When he's goin' off to take a pee
'Cause we're goin' huntin'
We're gonna kill somethin'
I don't care what it is
Maybe a raccoon, maybe a gopher,
Maybe the neighbour's kids!
We're goin' huntin'
We're gonna kill somethin'
I don't care what it is
Maybe a raccoon, maybe a gopher,
Maybe the neighbour's kids!
Well the sun goes down and we head back to town
And we hop in our pickup truck
Strap Charlie to the hood, start up the engine
Drive it home with any luck
Well what do you know, we run into a pole
But we're all still in one piece
And we get a free ride back into town
Courtesy of the police.
'Cause we're goin' huntin'
We're gonna kill somethin'
I don't care what it is
Maybe a raccoon, maybe a gopher,
Maybe the neighbour's kids!
We're goin' huntin'
We're gonna kill somethin'

Arrogant Worms | Great To Be A Nerd | /a/arrogant+worms/great+to+be+a+nerd_20009347.html | It's great to be a nerd, It's great to be a nerd
The only light we ever see is from our moniter
We argue about comic books and Internet connections
The biggest highlight of the year is the Star Trek Convention
Our town's not big enough to sign up any stars
But we once met a red shirt who was phasered by a Borg
(Man, he knew Mr. Sulu!) (What?)
It's great to be a nerd, It's great to be a nerd
We wear our Star Trek uniforms and talk like Captain Kirk
We have our own heroes who we try to emulate
I dream of one day being as sexy as Bill Gates
We hate watching sports 'cause we're reading Carl Sagan
But we'd watch the Olympics if they played Dungeons and Dragons
(I'm a Hobbitt! Ha ha ha ha!)
It's great to be a nerd, It's great to be a nerd
We think Tolkein was a genius and Shakespeare was a turd
We rarely get a date or get talked to by a girl
Unless they're having trouble with their algebra homework
We're emotionally bereft and we're sexually frustrated
But we can download photographs of Agent Scully naked
It's great to be a nerd, It's great to be a nerd
We know the truth is out there but we'd have to leave our room
We are the nerds in your neighbourhood
Polyester's a fashion statement
But there's more room on the beach for you
'Cause we're locked in our basement
It's great to be a nerd, It's great to be a nerd
We like to wear colours that do not appear in nature
It's great to be a
Poorly-dressed fashionless
Star trekking roleplaying
Ninety pound when wet down
Pasty skinned pop drinking
Underfed genius
Yes, it's great to be a nerd

The sun goes down on another day
A day where I haven't found love
I try to eat, but all I taste
Is the flavor of a broken heart
Then I saw you across the room
I gasp and my breathing stops
My heart's in my throat, or is it a potato?
I love you so much, I need the Hiemlich manuver
Your love sticks like a turkey bone in my throat
She's in my thoughts and it'll need a jolt to remove her
My love is consumating, while I'm asphyxiating
Over her
When I wake up, I'm on the floor
Faint, dizzy and alone
My stomach hurts, I think my ribs are cracked
Not sure if I'm in a dream
I turn my head, and there you are
I call out and my breathing stops
It's her again, crushing my esophagus
I love you so much, I need the Hiemlich manuver
Your love sticks like a turkey bone in my throat
She's in my thoughts and it'll need a jolt to remove her
Before my expiration, I need resuscitation
Mouth to mouth
She throws water on my face, slaps my cheek
Helps me back on my stool
She's a waitress here, but in the night
She's a student at nursing school
She comes again with a smile and the bill
I pick it up and choke again
She's charged me for my lunch and for the medical procedure
I love you so much, I need the Hiemlich manuver
Your love sticks like a turkey bone in my throat
She's in my thoughts and it'll need a jolt to remove her
For my lasting endurance, I'll need medical insurance
For my bill
For me to get some peace, I'll need a tracheotomy
And an airbag

Columbus made history thinking some island was India.
General Custer's a national hero for not knowing when to run.
All these men are famous, and they're also very dumb.

Clever people wouldn't even try.

Nobility are famous for no reason.
Marie Antoinette enjoyed her cake.
She cause a Revolution when she would not share.
And her husband lost his head for that mistake.
The Hindenberg was a giant zeppelin.
Her makers made a minor oversight.
Before they filled it up with explosive gas
They should have fixed the no smoking light.
'Cause!

Tally-Ho! Tally-Ho!
Our king and country's honor we will save.
Tally-Ho! Tally-Ho!
We're marching into history and the grave.
So, if your son or daughter seem too lazy,
Sitting there watching mad T. V.
Just remember you should be quite grateful
At least they're not making history.
Ahhh!
History is made by stupid people.
Clever people wouldn't even try.

I weigh twice as much as you
And I look good on the barbecue
Yogurt, curd, cream cheese, and butter's
made from liquid from my udders
I am cow, I am cow, hear me moo!
I am cow, eating grass
methane gas comes out my ass
and out my muzzle when I belch
o the ozone layer is thinner
from the outcome of my dinner
I am cow, I am cow, I've got gas
I am cow, here I stand
far and wide upon this land
and I am living everywhere
from B.C. to Newfoundland
You can squeeze my teats by hand
I am cow, I am cow, I am cow
I am cow, I am cow, I am cow!

Arrogant Worms | I Pulled My Groin | /a/arrogant+worms/i+pulled+my+groin_20291911.html | I pulled my groin
It's the very best injury
Though I'm walking daintily
I pulled my groin
I pulled my groin
When people ask, "It hurts you where?"
I say "Put your hand right there"
I pulled my groin
I pulled my groin
I pulled my groin
Though I do not enjoy walking
I am really happy talking
'bout my groin
I pulled my groin
I pulled my groin
It's the treatment that I love
Because I've bought some oil to rub
I pulled my groin
I pulled my groin
Unless we're in playoff time
When I've got a lower body injury that
Will have to be a game time decision
I pulled my groin
It hurts me when I skate
But not when I master.. Hills
I pulled my groin
I pulled my groin

And my brother is a god
But all I am is Jesus' brother Bob

A nobody relative of the son of God
If only I'd been born just a little sooner
I'd be more than the brother of God Junior
I have to pay the ferry
To cross the Galilee
But not my brother
No not him
He walks across for free
I finally get to work
'Bout a quarter after nine
Already he's turning water into wine

One day when I was home
I heard a mighty r oar
There were a thousand people
Right outside the door
Help us, Jesus, help us!
Came the cheering from the mob
But then they got a look at me
Oh nuts, it's only Bob

This was my big chance
To finally get ahead
The next thing you know
He's rising from the dead

Arrogant Worms | Kill The Dog Next Door | /a/arrogant+worms/kill+the+dog+next+door_20009321.html | I once was a happy man of sound and stable mind
Then my neighbour bought a dog
He put a ribbon on it's head to make it cute
But it still looked like a chihuahua
He had me over to watch it sit and beg
It bit my knee, and made love to my leg
Now it barks all the night and all of the day
Whenever it's not peeing on my lawn
I didn't get to sleep last night till very late
The stupid dog barked and grrrr'd
I got up late for work and ran to catch the bus
But I slipped on a turd
I was certain it wasn't one of mine
That that dog had crossed over the line
I wanted to exterminate it and all it's kind
From my lovely little suburb
I'm gonna kill the dog next door
Ain't gonna bark anymore
'Cause this is Judgment Day
And the little runt has got to pay
No more turds on my lawn
That stupid mutt will soon be gone
Gonna kill kill kill kill kill kill kill that dog
I see the little monster in my garden
So I grab an axe and off I go
And I try my best to get it
All I do is sever my big toe
My neighbour comes outside to call me
He says his dog and me should just be friends
He puts his little pet in my forgiving hands
Then it starts to bite
So I strangle it with all my might
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
I'm gonna kill the dog next door (kill the dog next door)
Ain't gonna bark anymore
'Cause this is Judgment Day
And the little runt has got to pay
No more turds on my lawn (doo-doos on my lawn)
That stupid mutt will soon be gone
Gonna kill kill kill kill kill kill kill that dog
Now the stupid mutt's in doggy heaven
I strangled it to death and now I'm free
But my trouble ain't quite over
My neighbour called the cops on me
I end up at the police station
Where I am told that I must pay
A 300 dollar fine
Wow, what a good value
I think I'll kill my neighbour too!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
I'm gonna kill the guy next door (kill the guy next door)
Won't call the cops anymore
I never liked him anyway
300 isn't much to pay
There are turds on my lawn (doo-doos on my lawn)
They must be his, his dog is gone
Gonna kill kill kill kill kill kill kill
Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill
Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill that guy!

All Mother Nature's favourite pets, all sitting rigidly
They're never hungry any more, their last meal left them stuffed
Don't worry, they won't walk away if you try and pet their fluff
And the dog goes...
And the cow goes...
And the bear goes...
And the pig goes...
And the crow goes caw!, I guess it was alive
You can see all this
On the Mounted Animal Nature Trail
The Mounted Animal Nature Trail, it's great for Mom and Dad
Where else can Grandma and the kids see the silence of the lambs?
Don't have to walk a hundred miles ore climb the steepest hill
And the only fearsome sound you'll hear is the ringing of the till
And the dog goes...
And the cow goes...
And the bear goes...
And the pig goes...
And the crow goes caw!, I guess it was alive
You can see all this
On the Mounted Animal Nature Trail
The only things that bite are the bugs (Oww..)
And unlike other theme parks, the mice won't say "Hello"
And if you're having troubles with your own family pet
You can bring him and add him to the trail
Everyone, and the dog goes...
And the cow goes...
And the bear goes...
And the pig goes...
And the crow goes caw!, I guess it was alive

Arrogant Worms | My Voice Is Changing | /a/arrogant+worms/my+voice+is+changing_20009325.html | Last night when I went to bed
With tangled hair upon my head
In every way I really was a kid
It happened without warning
When I woke up in the morning
I can't tell you just what happened but it did
I grew six inches in one day
It's painful when it goes that way
And now my skinny body's really achin'
And my skin just exploded
With an inch of oil it's loaded
It's so greasy you could fry a pound of bacon
My voice is changing
Out of thin air
And body parts that once were smooth
Are growing bits of hair
My voice is changing
What does it mean?
I guess I'll be a real man
Before I turn 13
I buy two pairs of jeans a week
I'm such a tall and awkward geek
I fall down when I try to play a grounder
At dinner every night I eat
A giant heaping plate of meat
Then go out with my friends for quarter pounders
And weird emotions come alive
My hormones are in overdrive
I've turned into a girl-watching creature
And all my friends their marks are shot
But they don't care because they're hot
For Mrs. Smith the mathematics teacher
My voice is changing
I hate to hear it crack
I pray to God I won't inherit
Dad's hairy back
My voice is changing
When will it end?
And when will mom stop kissing me
In front of all my friends?
Pretty soon I bet I'll
Be right into heavy metal
But my parents say at least it isn't rap
I'll start wearing stupid clothes
And threaten that I'll pierce my nose
And tell my parents all they like is crap
The first girl that I ever kiss
Will be the one and who could miss
Our love forever written in the stars?
But I don't think our love will last
Unless the four years go by fast
Till I can use the backseat of the car
My voice is changing
Out of thin air
And body parts that once were smooth
Are growing bits of hair
My voice is changing
What does it mean?
I guess I'll be a real man
Before I turn 13
My voice is changing
I hate to hear it crack
I pray to God I won't inherit
Dad's hairy back
My voice is changing
When will it end?
And when will mom stop kissing me
In front of all my friends?
Cha-cha-cha!

Sooner or later it all goes to hell
Somebody farts or spills some taco bell
Our love is like a new car smell
Our love is like a barbeque ignition
You know that button you push lights the propane emission

Our love is like a barbeque ignition
Our love is like a video game
That you play alot and then it gets lame
Then a new one comes out that's better but the same
Our love is like a video game
Our love..
Our love is like a surgical procedure
It's painful and invasive, your insurance won't cover
And when it's done you walk funny forever
Our love is like a surgical procedure

It has its moments but it's way too long
Like a bat outta hell it all goes wrong
Our love is like a Meatloaf song
Our love is like Keanu Reeves
Who's made some really bad movies

Our love is like Keanu Reeves

Arrogant Worms | Oh God, I'm Santa Claus | /a/arrogant+worms/oh+god+im+santa+claus_20009339.html | Open my eyes, what a beautiful day
Just the type that makes me want to say hooray
I'm still a little fuzzy-headed from my sleep
Into my brain reality seeps
Look all around me, can't believe what I see
These little short people are surrounding me
I've got a white beard, a suit made of red
My soul becomes filled with a keen sense of dread
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Hop out of bed, kick an elf in the chest
What an awful way to awake from a rest
"Santa, oh, Santa," the little gnomes cheer
"You shouldn't be nasty at this time of year!"
"What do you mean?" I say in a rage
"And what are you doing with those big burlap bags?"
The elves they do roar, "Why their full of toys
For you to deliver to the good girls and boys. "
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Resigned to my fate, I load up the sleigh
Harness the reindeer and get under way
It's nippy up here in the cool arctic sky
Good thing I remembered that bottle of rye
Flying over rooftops, throwing out toys
Hopefully crushing those good girls and boys
Like a bad dream, I pray for release
Please let this hellish existence be ceased!
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
Oh God, I'm Santa Claus
From this nightmare I finally awake
My brain is on fire, my hands they do shake
But wait, they're not hands, they're cute little paws
I'm the Easter Bunny, I'm not Santa Claus!
Oh God, I'm the Easter Bunny
Oh God, I 'm Easter Bunny
Oh God, I'm Easter Bunny
Oh God, I'm Easter Bunny

Arrogant Worms | Particle Board | /a/arrogant+worms/particle+board_20297966.html | Well my baby came at me with a 2x4
So I fought her off with sandpaper
It was 60 grit, it was really rough
And it made a lot of sawdust
But we patched things up with love and glue
We went to the church and said "I do"
Our honeymoon was at a hardware store
Our love's a lot like particle board
Particle Board, it ain't got no grain
Unless you paint it with a darkwood stain
Particle Board, it doesn't take no brains to know that
Our love's a lot like particle board
Well I heard the train come rolling by
With cattle on board, so we decided
We should drop everything and hop that train
And take a one-way trip to the slaughterhouse
Well we stared at the cattle as they took the walk
To meet the man who worked the saw
We stared at the blood and the guts and the gore
It looked an awful lot like particle board
Particle Board, it ain't got no grain
Unless you paint it with a darkwood stain
Particle Board, it doesn't take no brains to know that
Our love's a lot like particle board
We made love on a flat bed truck
She worried about getting splinters in her butt
I said don't think about those problems when we rut
The deck's made of particle board
Ahh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Particle board, you could make a dresser
Or a shelf or a hutch or an ottoman
You could leave it like it is or paint it up
It's still gonna be made of particle board
Particle board, it's useful stuff
It's stronger than glue, it's better than fluff
It sounds like a simile and that's enough
To say that our love's a lot like particle board
Our love's a lot like particle board
Our love's a lot like particle board
Our love's a lot like particle board
Ahh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Particle Board!

I'm proud to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
'Cause I get to play with other people's money
I'm having a lousy day
I burned my toast and spilled my coffee
On my best shirt. So I had to change and then
I'm late for work. So I rush into the meeting
Where they are discussing what my future in the corporation is
And I don't really give a damn
But I don't have another job
And so I lie and say
I'm proud to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
'Cause I get to talk to stimulating people
I open up my mail
Hoping that it's not a bill but it's from the bank
Saying that I have only 20 hours to go
To contribute to my RRSP for this tax year
So I run down to the bank but there's a 20-mile lineup
And I'm yelling and I'm screaming
And I'm not wearing any pants ah ah ah ah ahhhhh
I'm proud to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
'Cause I get to screw with other people's lives
I took out 40 bucks
From the automatic teller. It told me
That I couldn't 'cause I just had 10
But that can't be 'cause I just got paid on Friday
So I go down to the bank, wait an hour in the lineup
And I'm talking to the teller
She says "Wait I'll get your last month's statement"
She comes back in 7 hours
Says I've got some interest charges and a cheque from Uncle Bill
That bounced and so they'll have to charge me 40 bucks for that
And for the box I never opened and I don't have overdraft protection
And I think I'll die before I pay off all that I owe and I don't even
Own a car
I'm pleased to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
I'm pleased to be a banker
'Cause I get to play with other people's money
(HE'S A BANKER)
Would you please endorse this cheque?
(HE'S A BANKER)
Do you have any assets?
(HE'S A BANKER)
You should buy you shouldn't rent
(HE'S A BANKER)
The cheque will cost you fifty cents

Is north of the USA
Our maritimes are lovely
And our prairies give us hay
You might think you Yankees are better than us Canucks
But we don't need no microchips inside our hockey pucks
We know that you've got Disney World
And you keep it very clean
We don't have Bob Dole
But we can drink when we're 19
We even watch your TV shows for hours and hours and hours
We'll give you Alan Thicke but Shania Twain is ours
We're proud to be Canadian
We're awfully nice to strangers
Our manners feel our curse
It's cool in many ways to be Canadian
We won't say that we are better
It's just that we're less worse
Your beer is not too tasty
And you weather can't be beat
We all fly south in the winter time
To escape the snow and sleet
We're pleased to say we've enjoyed all your southern charms
But we get sun burnt when we exercise our right to bear our arms
We're proud to be Canadian
We're awfully nice to strangers
Our manners feel our curse
It's cool in many ways to be Canadian
We won't say that we are better
It's just that we're less worse

She used to sing about high school dances
And chancing after boys
But now she is fed up and about as angry as can be
She's got one hand in her pocket and the other is on guard for thee
We're proud to be Canadian
We're awfully nice to strangers
Our manners feel our curse
It's cool in many ways to be Canadian
We won't say that we are better

Arrogant Worms | Really Scary | /a/arrogant+worms/really+scary_20306232.html | It's the most frightening thing in the world
It's the scariest sight I've ever seen
The most chilling visual
The most terrifying scene
It's awful, it's crappy, it's monstrous, it's bad
It's really really huge
It's a fat man in a Speedo
I'm walking on a beach in a tropical isle
Hoping to enjoy the sand and surf
When I see a mound of baby-oiled flesh
Rolling and a broiling in the foam
The only thing that's holding this
Explosion of Caucasian is
A tiny red synthetic coloured thread
I try to sink it in the sand
And entomb it in a castle but
It always manages to break free
The fat man in a Speedo
I'm having nightmares
I'm scared to open my eyes
I try to free myself
By going to the buffet
But there he is
He even eats in his Speedo
I take up a collection at the bar the next day
And everybody gives to the cause
To rent a helicopter that will take this whale
To Cuba and free the horizon from his bulk
We have a celebration
In one of his indentations
And throw a bowl of jello in the air
We think we've escaped and our scenery is clear
But in comes a plane from Germany
Thirty fat German men wearing Speedos!

Arrogant Worms | Steel Drivin' Man | /a/arrogant+worms/steel+drivin+man_20009355.html | Special guest vocalist, Mike's dad: Bob McCormick
(Mike's dad appears courtesy of Mike's mom)
There once was a time when the country was wide. A time before cars and planes
and minivans. So, to move things from one place to the other, the railroad was
built. But it just didn't up and build itself. Nope, it was built by the
railroad men. And among these men was a man among men among men among men
among men among men, a man as tall as the sky and as wide as the land. A man
who could lay track faster than anyone else could run. A man with the strength
of ten men. His name was John Henry, and I'm not gonna sing about him. No, I'm
gonna sing about a lesser know figure, one who doesn't deserve a song. A man
as lazy as a thousand men. A man who could barely raise his own body off the
ground. A man who was barely a man at all. His name was Mike McCormick.
Mike McCormick was a steel drivin' man
Who never really gave a damn
Only thing he worked on was his tan
Mike McCormick was a steel drivin' man
He'd get up in the morning to hammer in them spikes
Unless he'd been up drinking the previous night
Or if his bones weren't feeling right
Or if it looked like it was going to rain
He had a tendency of being late for work
And everyone around thought he was a jerk
He'd take long breaks and say his back was hurt
Then he'd have a drink to ease the pain
Mike McCormick was a steel drivin' man
Who never really gave a damn
Only thing he worked on was his tan
Mike McCormick was a steel drivin' man
Mike's dad: Mike! Mike! Get up, Mike!
Mike: What, what is it?
Mike's dad: Get up, it's time to go to work.
Mike: Awww, already?
Mike's dad: Well, don't you want to hammer in them spikes?
Mike: No.
Mike's dad: Oh.
His arms were like twigs and his legs were like straws
His hands were like a baby's bum they were so soft
He'd wheeze and moan and whine and cough
Then go home and take a little nap
He never got fired 'cause he was the boss' son
He just hung around and bothered everyone
Never drove a spike, not a single one
Though now and then he'd give a tap
Mike McCormick was a steel drivin' man
Who never really gave a damn
Only thing he worked on was his tan
Mike McCormick was a steel drivin' man
Mike's dad: Mike! Mike! MIKE!
Mike: What? What is it?
Mike's dad: They say they got a big machine that they say can drive in nails
faster than any man alive.
Mike: Sounds like a good idea.
Mike's dad: No! No! No!
Mike: Yeah, it'll work faster.
Mike's dad: You don't understand! You see, it's gonna cost us all our jobs.
You, Mike McCormick, gotta prove 'em wrong!
Mike: Okay.
So he took his hammer and hammered one time (Ow!)
He took his hammer and hammered two times (Oh, jeez!)
He took his hammer and hammered three times (Ohhh!)
Then he got crushed by a meteor and died
Mike McCormick was a steel drivin' man
Who never really gave a damn
Only thing he worked on was his tan
Mike McCormick was a steel drivin' man
Mike McCormick was a steel drivin' man (steel drivin' maaaan)

Arrogant Worms | The Ballad Of Dan | /a/arrogant+worms/the+ballad+of+dan_20009377.html | I'm out on the range, surveying the land
Thinking of the job that's to be done
My life is hard but I don't mind
Men like me, that's how the west was won
I stand the pain and the suffering
For on the trail I am the king
On doors I knock and on bells I ring
Always sure that I will get the sale
'Cause I am Dan the Insurance Salesman
In a beat-up Chevrolet I do ride
I rope them in and tie them up and bind them legally
And on the dotted line I make them sign
Hi-de-hey (Hi-de-hey, hi-de-hey, hi-de-hey) hey!
The door swings wide and I sense my prey
Ready to fall victim to my pitch
I tell him all about the plan
With all of its inherent benefits
If you lose an arm it's a thousand bucks
Lose both of them and get twice as much
And if you should die, well then, bless your luck
You'll just be raking in the cash
'Cause I am Dan the Insurance Salesman
In a beat-up Chevrolet I do ride
I rope them in and tie them up and bind them legally
And on the dotted line I make them sign
Hi-de-hey (Hi-de-hey, hi-de-hey, hi-de-hey) hey!
The sucker signs, the deed is done
It's time for me to get back on the road
A lonely man out on the land
Where the wind can blow so cold
I ride into the setting sun
With the knowledge of a job well done
But I can't rest until everyone
Has become properly insured
'Cause I am Dan the Insurance Salesman
In a beat-up Chevrolet I do ride
I rope them in and tie them up and bind them legally
And on the dotted line I make them sign
Hi-de-hey (Hi-de-hey, hi-de-hey, hi-de-hey) hey!
Yes, I am Dan the Insurance Salesman
In a beat-up Chevrolet I do ride
I rope them in and tie them up and bind them legally
For on the dotted line I make them sign

Arrogant Worms | The Happy Happy Birthday Song | /a/arrogant+worms/the+happy+happy+birthday+song_20009329.html | Once a year we celebrate
With stupid hats and plastic plates
The fact that you were able to make
Another trip around the sun
And the whole clan gathers round
And gifts and laughter do abound
And we let out a joyful sound
And sing that stupid song
Happy birthday!
Now you're one year older!
Happy birthday!
Your life still isn't over!
Happy birthday!
You did not accomplish much
But you didn't die this year
I guess that's good enough
So let's drink to your fading health
And hope you don't remind yourself
The chance of finding fame and wealth
Decrease with every year
Does it feel like you're doing laps
And eating food and taking naps
And hoping that someday perhaps
Your life will hold some cheer
Happy birthday!
What have you done that matters?
Happy birthday!
You're starting to get fatter
Happy birthday!
It's downhill from now on
Try not to remind yourself
Your best years are all gone
If cryogenics were all free
Then you could live like Walt Disney
And live for all eternity
Inside a block of ice
But instead your time is set
This is the only life you get
And though it hasn't ended yet
Sometimes you wish it might
Happy birthday!
You wish you had more money
Happy birthday!
Your life's so sad it's funny
Happy birthday!
How much more can you take?
But your friends are hungry
So just cut the stupid cake
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, dear...

Arrogant Worms | The Monkey Song | /a/arrogant+worms/the+monkey+song_20259108.html | If you believe in Darwin's theory
I'm not saying you have to but it's an interesting theory
Darwin said we all evolve from monkeys
If his theory is accurate and who am I to say?
Does the opposite work going the other way?
If it does I wanna devolve back to a monkey
I wanna be a monkey that's for sure
I wanna be a monkey like Curious George
I would sit around all day just eating bananas
I might be naked or just wear pyjamas
And make my money appearing in hilarious movies
Monkey see, monkey do
That would be my excuse
It's not my fault, I'm just a monkey who can see
I wanna be a monkey, that'd be nice
I wanna be a monkey, eating other monkey's lice
When they say it's so easy that a monkey could do it
I'd be more than happy to prove it
Then you'd know for sure if it was easy or not
And if you wanna see the home of Michael Jackson
I could provide some simian distraction
Cuz we all know monkeys are Michael's second biggest weakness
I wanna be a monkey yes I do
I wanna be a monkey and fling my poo
I wanna be a monkey
I'd be agape if I was an ape
What a thrilla to be a gorilla
It would rock to be a macaque
I wanna be a monkey

Arrogant Worms | The Mountie Song | /a/arrogant+worms/the+mountie+song_20009330.html | When I was a kid I wanted to grow up and be cop in a province town or county
I thought it would be great if someday I could only ever be a mountie
I wanted to beat up crooks and make arrests because that's part of the
profession
But now I sit on my horse and tell American tourists the Parliament's in
session
I really don't look good in red and my stupid hat flies off my head in every
parade
I'm young and strong and have no fear but now I'm spending my career in
motorcades
I want to enforce the law, I want to wear normal clothes
I don't want to have to smile for diplomats' home videos
I good at working real hard, I should have joined the coast guard
Oh no, the RCMP
Is not the life for me
I used to think that a mountie had to be honest, loyal, humble, strong and
thrifty
But even though we don't break ranks, we get no thanks, they took us off the
fifty (dollar bill)
On Sussex Drive in hallowed halls we act like guards in shopping malls, it's
such a pain
Like someone's plotting the assassination of the Minister if Sports and
Recreation, oh that's insane
Sometimes I just want to puke on Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, Dudley Do-
Right's such a jerk (Damn you, Snidely)
And though he tries with all his heart, my horse couldn't catch a golfing
cart, some days I hate to go to work
I want to enforce the law, I want to wear normal clothes
I don't want to have to smile for diplomats' home videos
I good at working real hard, I should have joined the coast guard
Oh no, the RCMP
Is not the life for me
I want to enforce the law, I want to wear normal clothes
I don't want to have to smile for diplomats' home videos
I good at working real hard, I should have joined the coast guard
Oh no, the RCMP
Is not the life for me
Oh, no, it's not the life for me
Oh, no, it's not the life for me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-
me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me, m-m-me

Arrogant Worms | The War Of 1812 | /a/arrogant+worms/the+war+of+1812_20518504.html | Come back proud canadian's,
To before you had TV.
No hockey night in canada,
There was no CBC.
In 1812 madison was mad,
He was the president you know.
Well he thought he'd tell the british where they ought to go.
He thought he'd invade canada,
He thought that he was tough.
Instead we went to washington,
And burned down all his stuff.
And the white house burned, burned, burned.
And we're the ones that did it,
It burned, burned, burned.
While the president ran and cried,
It burned, burned, burned.
And things were very historical,
And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies WaWaWa
In the war of 1812.
Those hilbilies from kentucky,
Dressed in green and red.
Left home to fight in canada,
But they returned home dead.
It's the only war the yankies lost except for veitnam.
And also the alomo and the bay of ham.
The looser was america,
The winner was ourselfs.
So join right in and gloat about the war of 1812.
And the white house burned, burned, burned.
And we're the ones that did it,
It burned, burned, burned.
While the president ran and cried,
It burned, burned, burned.
And things were very historical,
And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies WaWaWa
In the war of 1812.
In 1812 we were just sitting around,
Minding our own business,
Putting crops into the ground.
We heard the soilders coming,
And we didn't like that sound.
So we took a boat to washington and burned it to the ground.
Oh we fired our guns but the yankies kept on a coming,
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and the yankies started running,
Down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico.
They ran through the snow,
And they ran through the forest,
They ran through the bushes where the beavers wouldn't go,
They ran so fast they forgot to take they're culture,
Back to america, and gulf and mexico.
So if you go to washington,
It's building clean and nice,
Bring a pack of matches,
And we'll burn the white house twice.
And the white house burned, burned, burned,
But the americans wont admit it.
It burned, burned, burned...
It burned and burned and burned
It burned, burned, burned
I bet that made them mad.
And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies WaWaWa
In the war of 1812.

Arrogant Worms | Tv Weather Guy | /a/arrogant+worms/tv+weather+guy_20009388.html | My father was a lawyer, mom's at university
My brother and my sister, they both have their Ph.D.
My grampa was a pilot shooting Nazis from t he sky
But I am the most famous, I'm a TV weather guy
He smiles at the camera and tells a little joke
H e always says it's sunny if the telestrator's broke
Thinks a meteorologist knows what falls from the sky
But he's got a steady income as a TV weather guy
They said that I'm not qualified to be on the TV
Don't know Celsius from Fahrenheit so I just say degrees
I just read the temperatures and make up a bunch of lies
And end up being right more than the guy on channel five
He smiles at the camera and tells a little joke
He always says it's sunny if the telestrator's broke
Thinks cloud are made from cotton that have blown up to the sky
But he's got a steady income as a TV weather guy
On Saturdays I must be out of bed by five A.M.
Put on a ton of make-up and then stare at the camera lens
Greeting all the viewers with a "Hi-hi-hip-hello!"
'Cause it's the day I have to host a kiddie cartoon show
He smiles at the camera then to his puppet sock
He raves about the crayon drawings of the family dog
Did a promo at the shopping mall and made the children cry
He's a lousy clown but a good TV weather guy
They said that I'm not cute enough to be an anchorman
Not tough enough for sports and for the arts I was too bland
But I know that some day I will reach my TV goal
When I guest star on Baywatch or 90210
'Til then I'll smile at the camera and tell a little joke
He always says it's sunny if the telestrator's broke
He wonders why big storms are always named for other guys
But he's got a steady income as a TV weather guy
He's got a steady income as a TV weather guy!

Avril Lavigne | 17 | /a/avril+lavigne/17_21061641.html | He was working at the record shop
I would kiss him in the parking lot
Tasting like cigarettes and soda pop
Seventeen
He would tell me I was beautiful
Sneaking in the neighbor's swimming pool
Yeah, he taught me how to break the rules
Seventeen
Hey, those days are long gone
And when I hear this song it takes me back
We were on top of the world
Back when I was your girl
We were living so wild and free
Acting stupid for fun
All we needed was love
That's the way it's supposed to be
Seventeen
Stealing beers out of the trailer park
Flicking lighters just to fight the dark
My favorite place was sitting in his car
Seventeen
We laid a blanket on the roof top
That time I knew I wouldn't make him stop
The nights were cold but we kept 'em hot
Seventeen
Hey, those days are long gone
And when I hear this song it takes me back
We were on top of the world,
Back when I was your girl
We were living so wild and free
Acting stupid for fun
All we needed was love
That's the way it's supposed to be
We were running red lights
We were going all night
Didn't care about anything
We were living our dream
It was you and me
And we were seventeen
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Seventeen
Seventeen
I remember what it felt like
Just a small town kind of life
If I could only just go back in time,
Seventeen
We were on top of the world
Back when I was your girl
We were living so wild and free
Acting stupid for fun
All we needed was love
That's the way it's supposed to be
We were running red lights
We were going all night
Didn't care about anything
We were living our dream
It was you and me
And we were seventeen

Avril Lavigne | Anything But Ordinary | /a/avril+lavigne/anything+but+ordinary_20010236.html | Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I want to scream
It makes me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.
Let down your defenses
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
That this world is a beautiful
Accident turbulent succulent
Opulent permanent, no way
I want to taste it
Don't want to waste it away
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh my self to sleep
It's my lullaby
Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed

Is it in the sky?
Under the sea or on the ground?
In a wood or in the deserts?
On a mountain or in a valley?
Together we will find our destiny
Together we will search
All those years, looking
All those years, pointless
Why do I say it was pointless
Looking for it with you
I will give you the reason
My destiny... Is you...

Someday we'll reunite
For all eternity

Standing in the rising tide
Heaven's light shines on you, on you, on you
Test the sea rising at your feet

To ride the undertoe

To the open sea
Someday we'll reunite
For all eternity

Just go by the sound of my drummer drumming,
And the sounds of the guitars slamming,
Just... You should know,
Sweetly walking to my locker,
Open it up to find a note,
Heres what he wrote:
'Girl, I know you want me,
If you do, come and get me,
Be at the park, by sundown,
When nobody else is around,
Be there if you want me. '
Signed no name,
By the look in my eyes,
I could tell it was him,
He stared at me, with a grin,
[Chorus:]
This is my everyday life,
Going through my pages
Through the good and the bad times
Why are you, sayin' to me,
This ain't your everyday life girl,
Your everyday life is you and me,
My everyday life,
Why go thorugh the pain,
When the love and sorrow's just gonna drain,
Now this is my everyday life.

Avril Lavigne | Fall Into You | /a/avril+lavigne/fall+into+you_20517927.html | You say you turned it off hid your heart upon a shelf
Scared of what it might cost to take it down for sombody else
Cause loving her you lost too much of yourself
Baby can't you see that she's not me
Not me at all
And I need you to know you can fall into me
That my arms are wide open and will always be
Right here waiting staying strong come and fall into me
Don't compare her to me, believe in love
I'll follow any road anywhere to get to you
I'll open up my soul if that is what you need me to do
Now baby it's your move all you got to do is
Believe in love just believe in us
And I need you to know you can fall into me
That my arms are wide open and will always be
Right here waiting staying strong come and fall into me
Just believe in love, just believe in us
Just believe in love just believe in us
Baby
I need you to know you can fall into me
That my arms are wide open and will always be
Right here waiting staying strong come and fall into me
Come and fall into me
Baby fall into me

Avril Lavigne | Fall To Pieces | /a/avril+lavigne/fall+to+pieces_10018178.html | I looked away
Then I looked back at you
You tried to say
Things that you can't undo
If I had my way
I'd never get over you
Today's the day
I pray that we make it through
Make it through the fall
Make it through it all
[Chorus]
And I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you
You're the only one
I'd be with 'til the end
When I come undone
You bring me back again
Back under the stars
Back into your arms
[Chorus]
And I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you
Want to know who you are
Want to know where to start
I want to know what this means
Want to know how you feel
Want to know what is real
I want to know everything, everything
[Chorus]
And I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
'Cause I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
