Remember hallways, you're waiting always
To see behind the door You never seen her, you're gonna meet her The first time's so unsure She smiles your way through a window You smile right back, she runs away You wish little girls'd sit still just a little bit longer, longer And she's still a mystery to me I thought I'd grow up gracefully I'd understand my woman thoroughly But the more I see (but the more I see) The more I see there is to see, there is to see And she's still a mystery to me (she's still a mystery to me) She's still a mystery to me I used to wonder when in thunder understandin's done But now I'm graspin' that understandin' is only part of love She'll smile your way through a window You'll smile right back, she'll run away You wish little girls'd sit still just a little bit longer, longer And she is still a mystery to me I thought I'd grow up gracefully I'd understand her thoroughly But she's a mystery to me But she's a mystery to me (But she's a mystery to me) (But she's a mystery to me) And she's still a mystery to me (she's a mystery to me) (She's a mystery to me) She's still a mystery to me (she's a mystery to me) (She's a mystery to me) She is still a mystery to me, mm-hmm (she's a mystery to me) (She's a mystery to me) (She's a mystery to me) (She's a mystery to me) |

As the couples go parading by on a sunday stroll
All they talk about what makes loves 'tisnt like its told Cause they dont match up like salt and pepper and birds of feather Howd they ever fly together cause opposites attract when love becomes a fact forever What makes her sailor millionaira Fall in love with Big House Dana? It was love, he was broke and her folks didnt dig it What is it That let them know they wasnt doinnothing wrong? I dont know what it is, but it sure is something strong Two peas in a pod one day So alike they had nothinto say So the boy, he ran off and fell in love with a stanger How could he, what let them know, he wasnr doinnothing wrong I dont know what it is, but it sure is something strong ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By JOHN B.

Boredom
Hangin' by myself in a bleak motel Overnight in a small town. Boredom My mind's countin' time, trucks go rollin' by Past the pumps and highway sign. Never was a place that felt less like home. Never woulda come here if I'd only known That it's a one-channel town and I'm all alone. I can't just sit 'n' watch my telephone 'Cause no one knows my number and it can't be found And there's no good people just kickin' around So here we are together Machines and me. I feel about as local as a fish in a tree and this Boredom. My mind's countin' time, trucks go rollin' by Past the pumps and highway sign. And in this town all the other sounds have ceased. And the Late Late Show died long ago With a few words from a priest. Boredom Hangin' by myself in a bleak motel Overnight in a small town. |

Intro:
There's something special 'bout six o'clock In the morning when it's still too early to knock And the dusky light shines down on the block And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock Six o'clock, six o'clock Verse 1: A few hours ago she was standing here Just watching the stars in our eyes and the lights as the tights disappeared And I could feel I could say what I want That I could nudge her and call her my confidante But now I'm all alone with just my shadow in front At six o'clock, six o'clock Verse 2: I went home and found that time to sleep was rare Just watching my eyelids, knowing my brain bids the night not to care I got up and got scufflin' around But somehow it just wasn't the same happy town And the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound At six o'clock, six o'clock Bridge: If I go back where we parted Could I ever feel like that again Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow But what can I do 'til then Verse 3: Guess I'll go back home and just wait until dawn Yes, I had to learn going back where we were wouldn't help at all And I wish my head had been working right We'd have gone for coffee and talked all night And now I'm back alone, bein' twisted up tight Six o'clock, six o'clock Coda: Now I'm back alone Yes, now I'm back alone I'm back alone [repeat to fade] |

Why must every generation think their folks are square
And no matter where their heads are they know mom쨈s ain쨈t there Cause I swore when I was small that I쨈d remember when I knew what쨈s wrong with them that I was smaller then Determined to remember all the cardinal rules Like sun showers are legal grounds for cutting school I know I have forgotten maybe one or two And I hope that I recall them all before the baby쨈s due And I knoe he쨈ll have a question or two Like "hey Pop, can I go ride my zoom It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended on balloons And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs" And I must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation Then I쨈ll know that all I쨈ve learned my kid assumes And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons And still I쨈ll try to them him all the things I쨈ve done Related to what he can do when he becomes a man And still he쨈ll stick his fingers in the fan And "Hey, Pop, my girlfriend쨈s only three She쨈s got her own videophone and she쨈s taking L.S.D. And now that we쨈re best friends she wants to give a bit to me But what쨈s the matter Daddy, how come you쨈re turning green? Can it be that you can쨈t live up to your dreams?" |

Eyes to look at,not to see through
She never could see truth for lies With a smile she'd win em over Her face a trick to take a prize Tickled pink The mid aged dandy Sold his horse to buy her all the Icing for her face like candy Hung up the mirrors wall to wall Married life was short but funny With long lost cousins dropping by Later on her alimony Paid for young men's gentle sighs By the window hangs a mirror where she hides her sagging chin Now sadly as she crouches nearer Never seeing past her skin Mommy said When you were younger The face you made would stay that way That's all true and if you doubt it Reflect upon yourself today Everyone except the baby Answers for the face they wear It's the mast of your contentment Or the mask of your despair Only Pretty,What a pity Only Pretty,What a pity Lyrics graciously corrected by Jerry Yester and Joe Butler at a Spoonful gig at Showcase Live , Foxborough ,Ma. August 6,2009 . Thanks Joe and Jerry. |

Well, man you ought to be ashamed, the way you're afraid of it.
I know you've got a mind and you weren't made for it. But there's someone that's got what makes you stay for it. In short, she offers you the heart ? don't play with it. You've got to try a little bit. You might even have to cry a little bit. When you find someone for you. I know the way it gets to be a game to be your only self And still be close to the one you love who did it and needs your help. (?) And all that time it takes to test a life plan out Is spent in an environment instead of finding out. You've got to try a little bit. You might even have to cry a little bit. When you find someone for you. Try a little bit. You might even have to cry a little bit. So go on and try a little bit. It doesn't matter if you have to cry a little bit. Try a little bit. Try a litle bit... [fade] |

Close your eyes never mind, you can try and try
but some days have no songs and the easy things go wrong as you push your life along hold on Open wide here am I and my name is friend and I know you know I know how deep your sadness goes when all the doors are closed, let go Close your eyes never mind you can try and try but some days have no songs and the easy things go wrong as you push your life along hold on |
