Here comes Gwyneth’s head in a box
Gwyneth’s head in a box
Soupy Sales my friend
Here comes Gwyneth’s head

Here comes Gwyneth’s head in a box
Gwyneth’s head in a box
Skip Stevenson’s dead
Here comes Gwyneth’s head

All flesh is grass
Finish your paella
All flesh is grass
Finish your paella
All flesh is grass

Here comes Gwyneth’s head in a box
Gwyneth’s head in a box
Skip Stevenson’s dead
Here comes Gwyneth’s head

She'd shake it up, was hard to make out.
Now it's plain to see
I couldn't cook to save myself,
Found my life a recipe.
I never looked at her this way before,
But now she's all I see...

Alison's starting to happen,
Alison's starting to happen,
Alison's starting to happen to me

It's so mesmerizing,
Can't describe it,
All that inside, hey.
No one's heard her last name, I ain't asked,
So, who am I to blame?
An earthquakes started forming underneath my feet today...

Alison's starting to happen,
Alison's starting to happen,
Alison's starting to happen to me

Oh, this world is topsy-turvy,
And it is mine to eat.
She's the pebble in my mouth and underneath my feet.
She's the puzzle piece behind the couch, made the sky complete.

Alison's starting to happen.
Alison's starting to happen.
Alison's starting to happen.
Alison's starting to happen.
Alison's getting her tit pierced.
Alison's growing a Mohawk.
Alison's starting to happen to me.

My indecision is causing me pain
It's hard to conceal it
And it's harder to name
Before I leave for work
Here's some words that might hurt
But it's something that I have to say

Think about me, when he calls around three
The time that you know I'm not at home
All that I ask is our promises last
'Til the time I can stand on my own

When I horse breaks a leg
Then it's best to shoot it
Cause it's quick and it eases the pain
But when a marriage is dying
Tell me who does the firing
And who is to say who's to blame

Think about me, when he calls around three
The time that you know I'm not at home
All that I ask is our promises last
'Til the time I can stand on my own

You may think I went to work
But I took the day off
And I watched him as his car pulled in the drive
And although my heart's hurtin'
My shotgun is workin'
And it packs one hell of a surprise

Think about me, when he calls around three
Cause guess what your baby is home
I'll cut you in half with a double shot blast
And I'll pound on his head with a stone
'Til I think I can stand on my own

It's my fault
I never learned a trade
So I just scrape all day
It's not my fault
Yeah, when there's never enough
So I just toil away
And oh, what you say to me
It's not how love's supposed to be
And oh, what you do to me
When you become the enemy
It's not your fault
Yeah, things didn't turn out the way you dreamed at school
And now you're raising two
But it's your fault
When you raise a pointed finger at the one who loves you
And oh, what you say to me
It's not how love's supposed to be
And oh, what you do to me
When you become the enemy
Pass the blame and our life away
Pass the blame, watch us fall away
Pass the blame and our life away
Pass the blame, watch us fall away
It's not our fault
Yeah things never turn out the way we plan
Something we can never understand
And it's both our faults
When we pass the blame instead of trying to change
Babe, we just need to rearrange
And oh, what you say to me
It's not how love's supposed to be
And oh, what you do to me
When you become the enemy
Pass the blame in our lives away
Pass the blame, watch us fall away
Pass the blame in our life away
Pass the blame, watch us fall away

If I was in the fridge, would you open the door?
If I was the grass, would you mow your lawn?
If I was your body, would you still wear clothes?
If I was a booger, would you blow your nose?
Would you keep it? Would you eat it?
I'm just tryin to give myself a reason, for being around.

If I was the front porch swing would you let me hang?
If I was the dance floor would you shake your thing?
If I was a rubber check would you let me bounce
Up and down inside your bank account?
Would ya trust me, not to break you?
I'm just tryin really hard to make you,
notice me being around.

If I was a haircut would you wear a hat?
If I was a maid, could I clean your flat?
If I was the carpet would ya wipe your feet,
In time to save me from mud off the street?
If you like me, if you love me,
why don't you get down on your knees
and scrub me?
I'm a little grubby
From being around.

Take a look into some big grey eyes and ask yourself
You wanna make 'em cry?
Lookin' out of them it's just as well
But you're gonna live to see I'm gonna ask you why

Either way you got a bone to pick, can't you leave that to somebody else?
I don't need you to suck my dick or to help me feel good about myself

Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart
Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart

Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Do you have to try to piss me off 'cause I'm easy to please?
Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Yeah while I understand now you're not with the big gay scene

If you can find a way to add it up,
it might be hard but it might be enough
I'd be grateful, I'd be satisfied,
And you might find in time it wouldn't feel so bad
After all it doesn't take that much and it would mean the song to me
For you to lose the part that's still afraid and not prepared to see

My big gay heart
In the dark, my big gay heart
Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart

Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Do you have to try to piss me off just 'cause I'm easy to please?
Why can't you look after yourself and not down on me?
Yeah while I understand now you're not with the big gay scene

Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart
Big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart
My big gay heart
In the dark, big gay heart
My big gay heart, please don't break my big gay heart

I want a bit part in your life,
A walk-on would be fine.
I just want a bit part in your life,
(A bit part in your life).

I want a bit part in your life,
Rehearsing all the time.
I just want a bit part in your life,
(A bit part in your life).

Little more than a cameo
Nothing traumatic when I go
Little more than a stand-in,
I won't need reprimanding.

I wanna lie down and listen
I wanna lie down and listen
I gotta lie down and isn't that your black gown

So you cry now and you're pacing
Feel your town might need erasing
You gotta lie down and isn't that your black gown

Is it really true
He has passed away
Neither I or you can really say
We were fast asleep
just the other day
I'd been dreaming about the bales of house high hay
We went and climbed that day

If it ain't fixed, don't break it
When the pain pricks you can take
Kill a werewolf wooden you stake it

Bring the sky down while we're waiting
Put a line out or cut bacon
Drop a dime now for satan
Where's your black gown?
If you find our you're mistaken
Give exactly what you're taking
When it's time to throw the rake in

I wanna lie down and listen
I wanna lie down and listen
I gotta lie down and isn't that your black gown

Speak so softly and lowly
Like you want me to hear
And it just shows to go me
No need to speak clear
Your away on a movie
And I want you to be

Be be be be be
Be be be be be

You're away on a painting
And I want you to be
And it just ain't worth waiting
For what I don't want to see
You're away on a painting
And it don't bother me

Me me me me me
Me me me me me
Me me me me me
Me me me me me

Come on baby say you don't hate me
Grape leaf stay fair save me
Startin' all over
Heather clover come over rover break me
Break me break me

Speak so softly and lowly
Like you want me to hear

I feel like Steven is my father and I don't know why
But I realized when he looked my eyes
I feel like Steven is my daddy and it ain't no lie
But I wanna hold ya till the end of time
So come on daddy, release my arms
Come on daddy I wanna feel your charms
Come on daddy , release my arms
I wanna hold ya till the end of time
You know I was your baby since the age of nine
You know was your baby for a long long time
But something inside me told me you weren't mine
Something inside me told me you told lies
So come on daddy, release my arms
Come on daddy, I wanna feel your charms
Come on daddy, release my arms
I wanna hold you, I wanna hold you
(higher) I wanna hold...till the end of time.

Started out today jello in the sand.
Went out of my way not to understand.
Walked into a tree don't you look at me.
See I'm not myself phony mystery.

Sore afraid.
That's my tune.
Ceiling fan in my spoon.

Clothed in iron there's no denyin'.
When you feel like a bent fork tine.
Feelin' like a bent fork tine.
Clothed in iron there's no denyin'.

Sore afraid.

He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've.
The story's getting closer to the end.
He kinda shoulda sorta woulda loved her if he could've.
He'd rather be alone than pretend.

She just wanted him to love her but he didn't.
He took to the woods and wandered in it.
Walked along and on until they couldn't.
Stole himself to tell her that he wouldn't.

Dawn can’t decide if there should be more of this porch
She’s sick of being inside, he reads the signs
And now they’re making out in Lancaster, just to pass the time

Curtis C called, left a message in Japanese
Dawn returned the call, reviewed the newest Taang release
Joe shoulda known that the Long Island Lolita would be the cause

Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today
Feels good to be Jesse on the inside today
G minor morning was a D minor dawning
G minor morning was a D minor dawning
G minor morning was a D minor dawning

And you strike, strike the right chord
The right chord in me, strike the right chord

Bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
No paperwork

Bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah

Dawn can’t decide

I'm not keepin' up your side of the bargain
As we all know, a woman's will can harden
You try and soften up the blow
Still I hate to see you go
I beg your pardon
A swimming pool that used to be a garden

Get it started
Bake someone a cake and fold my heart in
Drive around the lake and roll my car in
Roll my car in

Is it time to pull my chestnuts from the fire?
Oh my my
Should I diversify or keep my powder dry
It's early in the day
Still it's late enough to say you were a liar
And the truth becomes more clear as I get higher

Find a buyer
Claim yourself exempt and wear a wire
Sleep around until you're good and tired
Good and tired

Watch it bubble out of sight
Tell me psycho where's the knife
Set your watch to ruin my life
Yeah, tell yourself you're not my type

You're not keepin' up my side of the bargain
As we all know, a woman's will can harden
Try and soften up the blow
Still I hate to see you go
I beg your pardon

Gotta own up on my own somehow
Toss the beginning and try to live it down
'N work my way out
I been so down about it

It gets the same every time I shy
Away from the blame and I stand my time
You can understand why
I been so down about it

She's gonna give me all the time I need
To finish it
And if I can't I'll sleep
Over

And out like a light when it's not plugged in
Fading around if it starts again
You just don't get it when
I get so down about it

I drop you a hint so I hope you don't catch
You fumble your keys and I throw the latch
You'll still worried that
I been so down about it

Out of it so I'd hope she'd be there
Talk to her as I climb the stairs
I told her

Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow
Gotta own up on my own somehow

I thought we had an understanding there
that wouldn't leave too soon
Figure it over and you'll find out where
your green shirt's gone

Had to hear about your Danish boyfriend
I forced a swoon
So I went over to your dresser drawer
and now I got it on

I got it on
your favourite Tee
It never looked as good on you
as it looks on me

I got it on
I'll wait and see
I used to wear it every day
and now it's twice a week

Fill in the shadows of a certain corner
you used to sit there
got me a brand new lamp, plugged it in
and now the dark don't fit there

Ain't got the time or the inclination
to see this through
I'm lookin up, climbing out of the station
and the sky's too blue

Chorus:
The sky's too blue
The sky's too blue
It mightn't suit me quite as well
as it used to

I got it on
Your favourite tee
I used to wear it every day...

I met a boy called Frank Mills
On September twelfth right here
In front of the Waverly
But unfortunately I lost his address
He was last seen with his friend, a drummer
He resembles George Harrison of The Beatles
But he wears his hair tied in a small bow at the back
I love him but it embarrasses me
To walk down the street with him
He lives in Brooklyn somewhere
And he wears his white crash helmet
He has golden chains on his leather jacket
And on the back are written the names
"Mary" and "Mom" and "Hell's Angels"
I would gratefully appreciate if you see him tell him
I'm in the park with my girlfriend and please
Tell him Angela and I don't want the two dollars back just him

Got me watching your eyes
Watching things go by outside
Out the window of a train
Easy sipping them
Just seeing it fly left to right
Pour the milk and I’ll say when

I’m out wandering around
You’re the one thing I’ve found
I don’t mean to bring you down
I’m out wandering around

Kinda hoped you wouldn’t blame me
I can’t wake up
Every day and find the same me
You can scream
But I’ll just dream how you might disappear
All I know is it’s never clear

I can’t hold you near
You just are not here
Though it wasn’t hard or far
I walked you to your car
