I Dig Love
03:54
|
|||
|
I don't dig all the nasty naysayers
Who send out the negative vibes
And I don't dig all the mealy bad-mouthers
And their not-so-subtle jibes
I don't dig hanging out with the cool kids
I think that they are such a bore
I don't dig all the sick-souled haters
They are stinkin' rotten to the core
I dig love
I don't dig all the pushy-pushy people
Wanna shove them out of the way
I don't dig all them big bad bullies
I hope they have a shitty day
I don't dig all the hypocrites
And their pretense of piety
I don't dig coach airline food
I prefer some variety
I don't dig all them weak-willed pussies
And the way they weasel out
And I don't dig all that sentimental tripe
Rather spend time cleaning grout
And I don't dig the wishy and the washy
Or the folks with an ax to grind
I don't dig the feeble and the weak
They've got nothing but junk on their mind

This Strange Affliction
04:49
|
|||
|
It's taken over my body
It's taken over my soul
It's taken over the way I think and it's out of my control
Yeah it makes me do strange things
That I would not normally do
It makes me feel
Yeah it makes me feel so oddly attracted to you
I wish that it would go away and leave me alone in peace
But this strange affliction it won't desist and it won't cease
This strange affliction is overtaking me
This strange affliction just won't let me be
This strange affliction, it treats me so unkind
This strange affliction is messing up my mind
It makes act foolish
Yeah it makes me act dumb
It makes me wanna sneak around whenever I think that I need some
I guess I am weak
My butt it did kick
I want to say that it's a disease but I'd hate to admit that I am sick
I wish that it would go away and never, ever return
But every time I think that it has I get that peculiar yearn
I wish that it go away but it fits me like a glove
Damn you, strange affliction
Damn you, love

The Snake
04:51
|
|||
|
I was born on the bayou right next to Tony Joe White
We sang Polk Salad Annie in the rainy Georgia night
We wrestled with some gators
In the steamy Southern swamp
They bit off my arms and my legs
Chomp, chomp, chomp
I am a snake I am
Just watch me slither
I am a snake I am
On the land and on the steamy river
I am a snake I am
And I am ready to fight you
I am a snake I am
If you scare me I will bite you
I crawl around in the woody rushes and out in the weedy canebrakes
I dine on rodents and birds when I would rather be eating teacakes
If I get ahold of you
I will slap you down with a whomp
I will make you a snake like me
Chomp, chomp, chomp
Don't you go feeling sorry for me
I am none of your concern
Everyone has some bad luck
And I guess that this was my bad turn

What We Talk About
04:17
|
|||
|
Our conversation moves in circles
And so do the hands of the clock
We sound like we are saying something
But it's all only idle talk
Mel says love is spiritual
But some of us disagree
Some get a kick out of being kicked
Every beater needs a beatee
Chit-chat, chit-chat you say this 'n' that
What we talk about when we talk about love
Listen to our hearts beating
It's a sound so naked and so stark
Listen to the human noises we're making
As we sit all alone in the dark
Well some are driven by physical love
Which makes us feel desire
A carnal lust that burns down so deep
It sets the heart on fire
We want to get as close as we can
But when we do we are repelled
There's something twisted in the other
Something that just won't let us meld
So much water so close to home
Some of us want sentimental love
A day-to-day type caring
Some just want stability
And don't want to lose our bearing
Mel says some folks they got it so bad
That they just want to kill their lover
And some get so bent up inside
That they never fully recover

Lover Man
04:37
|
|||
|
He's got it going on, this lover man
He's as smooth as Don Cornelius
He sweet talks all the ladies
With his velvet tongue
While he plays them Prince and Delius
He says, “Come on up to my pad some time
And I'll paint pink polish on your fingernails"
All he has to do is listen
And look as if he cares
And it never fails
And I say, Goddamn, goddamn
Lover man
He says, “Love is the drug I am thinking of"
A line he stole from Bryan Ferry
He makes Sally and he makes Sue
Oh yeah, how he does make merry
He says, “I’ll love you up like nobody's business
Love you with all of my guts"
He's an expert at matters of the heart
No ifs, ands or buts
He is a good man with a bad reputation
Ain't no different than me or you
We should all be more like Lover Man
That Lover Man
He loves you through and through

Unforgiving
05:07
|
|||
|
Mistakes, well I've made quite a few
But you know, you've made them too
They're not something you want to admit
Like a hair you don't want to split
Just wish that sometime you would
I believe it would do us both good
If you really wanna get along
Once in awhile
Admit you were wrong
Problems, we've got one or two
Wish that we could work them all through
Imagine how much better we'd be
If only you would have mercy on me
I know you know how it feels to be hurt
To be knocked down when you're already in the dirt
If you really wanna get along
Once in awhile
Admit you were wrong
You are so unforgiving

Lover Boy
03:22
|
|||
|
He's a boy, he’s not a man
And he loves in the way a boy can
How much does a boy really understand, yeah
He says it's love but it is lust
Blowing out of him like a gust
He whips up a carnal storm
Sleeps with whatever body is warm
He's a champ among his friends
They don't care how much he pretends
Or how much truth that he bends
As long as you talk the talk
Does it matter if you walk the walk
You're a lover boy
You're a bad, bad lover boy
A girl to you is just a toy
He digs girls who put it on the glass
The same kind who shake, shake, shake their ass
Thinks that they have a lot of class, yeah
All he wants is to get off
Just to get off as fast as a cough
He wants them to be compliant
Not looking for a mental giant
It's his world, they live in it
But it's over in a New York minute
Then you turn all creepy and old
Then the girls all look at you cold
So you better do it while you can
Before you're a wizened lover man

My Dear Narcissus
05:36
|
|||
|
You gaze at a picture and you like what you see
A woman who is beautiful for all eternity
You don't want to leave her
You've grown quite attached
The two of you are mated
So evenly matched
You love her perfume and the way she combs her hair
You could look at her forever with the fondest stare
My dear Narcissus
Won't you come out to play
My dear Narcissus
Greet the brand new day
I know that you've fallen for a love so true
But hey Narcissus your lover is you
She shares your same interests
She reads the same books
And when she gets mad or hurt
She has the same looks
She likes the same type of boy
That you have shown an interest in
Like you she went to Catholic school
Where she learned about original sin
You make quite a pair
You both wear the same size shoe
You walk together hand in hand, this girl and you
"And oh how I love you, love you with all my heart
You mean everything to me, we can't be apart
You are my number one, you're the hero of my dreams
There is no one more beautiful in this world of extremes

What About Me?
05:29
|
|||
|
I can see your plans
And I see what they entail
But what I don't see is me
I can see your vision
Of how you see yourself
But what I don't see is me
What about me
You talk about your dreams
You talk about your wishes
But you don't talk about is me
You talk about your friends
And how you love them so
But you don't talk about is me
You talk about all your lovers
And how they satisfy
But you don't talk about is me
Where am I
In all of this
Where am I
Where is me

A Vicarious Life
05:40
|
|||
|
I enjoy you from afar and all the great things that you do
You are so happy, so full of joy
How could I not want to be a part of you
You got a boyfriend, he loves you so
And you just want to shout it from up on high
"He loves me so, oh yes he does
And I just love my dreamy dream guy"
Well good for you
You got what you want
It makes me happy
It's yours to flaunt
What does it matter
How I do
I wish you the best in what you pursue
I am living a vicarious life
Through you
You got an apartment above a bar
And you can stumble back upstairs after closing
You listen to records you bought at Goodwill
And you watch as their grooves are decomposing
Your boyfriend's tastes are pretty awesome
At least that's what you always say
He's a poet and he writes a blog
Where he puts all his work on display
You got a cat
You are a teacher
You love the world
And every creature
You are amazing
You do it all
You stand above me, a hundred feet tall

Puppy Love
04:34
|
|||
|
You see me sniffing 'round
Making my sniffing sound
I want you
I won't take no
I won't ever let you go
I want you
I make my barking sound
The sound of a blue tick hound
I want you
My tail is wag, wag wagging
My spirit is never flagging
I want you
I chase you like a coon
Start bawling at the moon
I want you
Sink my teeth into your neck
I'm a dog what did you expect
I want you
And they call it
Puppy love
Ah-ooo
