my mamma told me
there'd be people just like you
my mamma tried to teach me
what good humans do
she said
"never tell a lie -
not if you think you'll get found out -
but always do back down
unless you're right without a doubt.
though you must try to tell the truth
always try to quell its hurt
and you must always wash your hands and face
when you been playin' in the dirt..."
fast forward
fast forward
life
life
life
life
life
life
life
life......

I remember you
In 1982
*
Do you remember ditching school on Fridays?
Standing by the freeway thumbing for a ride
With your camouflage shoes and polka dot bag
Flirting with teenage suicide...teenage suicide
*
Scratch our names in the pavement
Wet concrete equals
LOVE FOREVER!!!!
cross my heart and hope to die
cross this sidewalk to tomorrow
wondered then
would you be on the other...
*
Got Kraftwerk playing on ma Walkman stereo
Just a coupla months ago
Ya got it in Japan
Always the first to be in the know
From Eno to the Jam....Eno to the Jam
*
Scratch our names in the pavement
Wet concrete equals
LOVE FOREVER!!!!
cross my heart and hope to die
cross this sidewalk to tomorrow
wondered then
would you be on the other side
would you be on the other side?
Oh I remember you!
In 1982

close your eyes
go on
just for a minute
close your eyes
i want you to visualize
a door
now...
reach into your pocket
where there is a key
feel it
that key
in your pocket
unlocks the door
close your eyes
go on just for a minute
close your eyes
i want you to visualize
a door...
now
reach
into your pocket
where
there's
a key
feel it
that key in your pocket unlocks the door
that key in your pocket unlocks the door
that key in your pocket unlocks the door
now reach into your pocket
where there's a key
feel it........
that key
in your pocket
unlocks the door
only you can open the door
only you can open the door
only you can open the door
only you can open the door
only you can open the door
only you can open the door
only you can open the dooronly you can open the dooronly you can open the door
behind the door is the truth

Oh Mermen oh whisper to me
Oh Mermen swim across the moonlit midnight sea
Oh Mermen whisper in the wind across the wa-ha-ha ha -aves
Oh Mermen sing my name I’ll be your su-su-su-su-sla-ave
Oh Mermen I stand here upon the lonely shore
Oh Mermen your arrival is what I am waiting for
Oh Mermen won’t you whisper in the wind a song for me?
Oh Mermen swim across the sea
Sea-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Sea-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Oh Mermen how the waters roil and seethe
And how I wish beneath them I could breathe
To dive beside the dolphin with a pounding in my chest
Then to your castle in the sand to take watery rest
Oh Mermen won’t you change me
Like the vampire seals his love?
For one sea kiss from your salt lips
I’d gladly leave above
(to the)
Sea-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Sea-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Send and Receive
Are you reading me?
Cuz I'm sure I can hear your
Song of the Sea.....

From the Notre Dame
To the Seine
From the Notre Dame
In the rain
You said you'd be there
By the station
And I hung around
For far too long
And the dead bells sound
Like the sound of the rain
And I keep running away
Paris in the snow makes me feel
Alive again
Alive again
To the Gare du Nord
For a train
To the Gare du Nord
Leave again
Said you'd be there
At the station
But you disappeared
Like a song
And the dead bells sound
Like the sound of the train
And I keep running away
Paris in the snow makes me feel
Alive again
Alive again
And Paris in the snow
Is the greatest feeling I know
Paris in the winter
Brings me back to you
My eyes had fingers
That touched your face
That my eyes had fingers
To touch your grace
Minutes pass, hopes fade
Never thought I'd feel this way
After only a moment
Or two
Paris in the snow makes me feel
Alive again
After only a moment
Or two

Half a lemon in the fridge and just a crust of bread
If I keep on this diet gonna wind up dead
Nothin’ tastes as bad as starvin’ fills
Take a deep breath and open up my bills
(Chorus)
I Got my final notice
They’re gonna cut me off!
Got my final notice
Gotta find a way to cough
It up
Gotta find a way to cough, cough, cough...
7 days to pay or my lights go out
Turn on the tap – you’d think we’re havin’ a drought
Tried to call for help, but I could have predicted
Incoming calls only cuz my line is restricted
Oh oh oh they never told me at college
Aint no market for my kind of knowledge
And nunna my skills got a fee to match
Don't wanna resort to the grab and snatch!
Reduced to smoking rollies, had to give up the drink
Can’t afford to get high, I better sit down and think
Playin’s too expensive, but workin’ doesn’t pay
And I’ll be sittin’ in the dark exactly one week from today
I got my final notice
They’re gonna cut me off!
Got my final notice
Gotta find a way to cough cough, cough,
It up
Gotta find a way to cough, cough, cough...
7 days to pay or my lights go out
Turn on the tap – you’d think we’re havin’ a drought
Tried to call for help, but I could have predicted
Incoming calls only cuz my line is restricted
Now I'm reduced to smoking rollies, had to give up the drink
Can’t afford to get high, I better sit down and think
Playin’s too expensive, but workin’ doesn’t pay
And I’ll be sittin’ in the dark exactly one week from today
I got my final notice
They’re gonna cut me off!
Got my final notice
Gotta find a way to cough cough, cough,
It up
Gotta find a way to cough, cough, cough, it up
Gotta find a way to cough, cough, cough

I got this new friend
she’s such a cool friend
like i always knew friend
there when i’m blue friend
true thru and thru friend
until the end friend
know how to flow and give and take
and sometimes bend friend
Not like those old friends
Always borrow never spend friends
Whose friendship seems to depend
On me as a means to an end
They sure know how to pretend
Those phony fair weather friends
But when the squeeze comes on
they ninja gone
with sudden matters to attend!
I’ve had to fight to defend
My piece of truth, my friend
But I’ve also had to learn
to lighten up lissen up
SHUT UP
and stop making sense
At times I’ve made amends
For when I’ve tended to blend
Factual with fictional features
that spin the version I wanna send
I’ve got this new friend
I’ve gone against the trends
Picked a side of the fence
Yet contend I intend rarely to offend
or truly get you to defend
I extend
the hand of friendship to you
again
my friend
If you could just suspend
Your judgement
Til the weekend
I recommend you
to bend it
to this tune that I penned
I got this new friend
she’s such a cool friend
true blue
to the end
know how to flow
and sometimes
bend
