His Future Ex Girlfriend

I’d be more than happy
To wait around for you
I mean, what could be better
My pretty little cockatoo
I could be fulfilled
Just to sit around on my old hands
It’s ‘cause I love you
That I make no demands
You captured my heart
And you snared my imagination
I think about you lots
Even during masturbation
Yeah, I like to wonder
And I like to fantasize
I like to see us flying off together
Like two lovey butterflies
All the live-long day
You make it easy
For me to act nonchalant
It’s in that smile of yours
The smile you never flaunt
You make me wanna chill out
And toss out my desperate thoughts
You lay a trail of bread crumbs
And I connect the dots
All day long we are together
And it makes me so damn glad
All day long we are together
And we don't drive each other mad
Don’t know where I’d be
If I’d never met you
I’d bet it’d be nowhere
Yeah, that’s what I’d bet you
Just wanna thank you
Thanks for opening my heart
But I kind of wished you hadn’t
‘Cause it blew me all apart

There will never be another one like you
There will never be anyone
Who can do just what you do
There will never be another
Who will haunt me through and through
No there will never be another one like you
There will never be another mouth like yours
It speaks to me so loud and clear
There will never be another heart like yours
Beats with a passion that has no fear
Love, love, love
There will never be another face like yours
With eyes that penetrate my soul
There will never be another spirit like yours
One that will somehow make me whole
Love, love, love
It is not just your mouth
It is not just your heart
It is not just your face
It is not just your spirit
It's your love, love, love
There will never be another you
There will never be anyone so true
Your face, your heart, your hoodoo
There will never be anyone like you

The Glory That Is You
03:31
|
|||
|
Here we are
Just the two of us
So high above the clouds
Living in a state of nirvana
You can only see me
By the whites of my eyes
I’m screaming
Hey, hey hosannah
Can't talk about the glory that is you
Can't talk about the glory that is you
'Cause when I do
I get down, down and blue
Here we are
Just you and me
We are different chemicals
You are acid and I am base
But when we work together
It is like alchemy
It’s a state of grace
Here we are
Just I and thou
Way out beyond the known
Where we’re headed we can’t say
I should be tuning in
And keeping track
But nothing seems to matter now
And that’s OK

Fatherless Child
05:43
|

|
Who's got a shoulder when I need to cry
I feel restless and I don't know why
I cry for help but still I feel alone
Like a fatherless child along way from home
I am lost and I can't find my way
I'm dealing with my struggles from day to day
Who's got compassion when I need a friend
Who will hold my hand when I descend
I feel abandoned and I feel bereft
Like a fatherless child whose spirit has left
My soul is weak but I wanna be strong
I try to run but I've run too long
Sometimes I feel like a fatherless child
Sometimes I feel like a fatherless child
Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone
A long, long way from home
Who's got compassion when I need a good heart
Who will give me loving when I fall apart
I shout in the night but no one ever hears
Like a fatherless child who can't hold back tears
My heart is broke and it needs repair
Who among you will show that they care
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone
A long, long way from home

Let Go of Me
04:36
|
|||
|
You really got a hold on me
And it's driving me insane
Ain't the funny kind of nuts
But the kind that causes real pain
So I ask you to have mercy
Have mercy on me
And set me free
Set me free
When I see your sweet green eyes
I feel a strange old stirring
It's like being on a carousel
And I get dizzy from all the whirring
So I'm asking to have mercy
Have mercy on me
And set me free
Set me free
C'mon and let me go
C'mon and let me go
Let go of me
Let go of me
This old body ain't got nobody
And this old body wants you
What's a poor boy
What's a poor boy to do
You really got a hold on me
And you just won't let me go
And I try to pull away from you
But I'm caught in your undertow
So I'm asking to have mercy
Have mercy on me
And set me free
Set me free

What the Water Gave Me
04:55
|

|
Down, down below
Down where the dragonfish dwell
I found a spot just for me
Inside an empty conch shell
What the water gave me
What the water gave me
I made my home
In the deep blue sea
Down, down below
Far beneath the restless tide
I carved a out a niche
A cave where I could hide
What the water gave me
What the water gave me
I made my home
In the deep blue sea
What the water gave me
What would set me free
What the water gave me
In the deep blue sea
Down, down below
In a place that no one knows
You can find me there
In a deep repose
What the water gave me
What the water gave me
I made my home
In the deep blue sea

Whatever Will Be
04:45

Whatever she thinks
Whenever she thinks about him
He's never gonna know
Never gonna know
Could it be compassion
Could it be indifference
She knows it’s not apropos
Whatever will be will be
She’s got her life
She’s got her kin
Her own kin
He is not on her mind
No not for a second
But to him
They are always intertwined
And what he thinks is wishful thinking
Keeps him going when his heart is sinking
No matter how much he tries to let her go
In the end he's shot with cupid’s bow
Whatever he feels
However he feels it
Does it matter in the end
Don't matter
She’ll go her way
And he’ll go his
Though his wound will never mend

Live Forever
04:45
|
|||
|
This old body has got its problems
No nothing feels good no more
Every day gets worse and worse
Can't wait to see what's in store
Who wants to live forever
No, no not me
Who wants to live forever
No, no, nobody
If it ain't one thing then it's another
Can't get no relief
I've given up, I don't feel better
I lost my belief
This old world it makes no sense
Just wanna run away
People do the strangest things
And I don't get what they say
This old body has got its problems
Heading into the final lap
I'm broke down and I'm busted
What a piece of crap
Who'd a thought it'd come to this
I used to be so full of hope
Now I'm nothing but a broken old man
At the end of his rope

The Body Conspires
05:10
|
|||
|
Haven’t felt fine for the longest time
Feeling like shit right now
My head hurts, my back aches
Old age, take a bow
If I could trade places with a 20-year-old
You bet your sweet life I would
To have a body that’s resilient and strong
To have a body that feels good
You grow old and the body conspires
Every day is a day in pain
From your head down to your toes
You watch your friends as they wither away
And your fear just grows and grows
No one gets a pass not even the rich
No one's spared life indignity
One by one we slowly march along
On the road to our final destiny
You grow old and the body conspires
There is no way to age with grace
You wind up looking pretty dire
Just when you think you are at your peak
Your body will conspire
It's like a cosmic joke
A joke that’s kind of sick
All the misery you can endure
And it’s over much too quick
You grow old and the body conspires

What you are going through
Don't wanna know about it
Don't wanna feel what you feel
You can fix it, it's up to you
It's not that big a deal
You say you're hurting bad
You're not the only one
Well I got problems of my own
You're heart's been shattered
Well join the club
Quit your bitch and moan
Don't wanna know about it, don't wanna think about it
Don't wanna hear you complain
Don't wanna know about it, don't wanna think about it
Don't wanna feel your pain
You’re not the only one
Who’s got a problem
You’re not the only one who’s hurt
Just look at me, I am broken
I am down in the dirt
Pick own self up
Dust your own self off
Don’t wallow in your pity
It don’t become you
It don’t score you points
It don’t look too pretty
What you are going through
Don't wanna know about it
I got problems up to here
I got cancer, I got Parkinson’s
I know the end is near
You got it all
You got a wife and kid
They love you with all their might
You run them down
You give them grief
And you aren’t contrite

Life 101
05:04
|
|||
|
The cars queue up and head out on the 101
Like a string of pearls fleeing from the setting sun
I turn the radio on and I get myself in line
The adventure awaits
Somewhere beyond the highway sign
And I can still see her face
Painted on the waning moon
And I keep telling myself
I'll see her one day soon
I'm taking life 101
Life 101
The cars move on past Ventura County line
There are their kids in the back
I see all their devices shine
And these memories of you
They are painted over these black hills
When I think of those times
It still gives me the chills
I drive on, on into the dark
On into a waning moon
Thoughts of you go on and on
Throbbing just like a wound

I Am Done
04:37
|
|||
|
I have settled all my debts
It’s safe to say I got no regrets
I have come, come to the end of the road
I got all I ever needed
What I didn't get I've conceded
Time to lay down, lay down my load
I am done, I am done
I am done, I am done
I once dreamed of a dream of you
It was a dream that could never come true
Now it's time, time to let it go
No point in going on ahead
Rather spread myself out on my bedspread
And sleep well past well past the cock's crow
I am done, I am done
I am done, I am done
Gave it all, all that I had
And now that it's over I am glad
Time to let it go
Time to let it go
I am flying high up in the sky
Look down below and wave goodbye
Fare thee well, fare thee well
The view from here is pretty grand
Can you see me wave my hand
I can hear, I can hear the final bell
I am done, I am done
I am done, I am done
