Let's Bomb The Moonlight
so well
the world is diagnosed with terminal cancer
flesh is not human this culture is not freedom
and the world has terminal cancer
i want to live with you
let's bomb the moonlight and dance
this far awake is a joke our love is real
and the world is diagnosed with terminal cancer
i love your lips ...(?)...
armageddon's just another job, it's all on the inside
don't let them tell you love is a lie
love is so real
the best bet's to stay alive
let's go bomb the moonlight
let's take it back
what was ours by right
frame of a picture, the subject's not right
oh people of the world
you have a new boy in town
to share the light with a guillotine

Thief Without The Take
(i.lorre/j.buckley)
Jeff duets with inger lorre and plays guitar on this song, contained in inger lorres album trascendental medication.
Oh baby didnt you hear?
Im goin solo dear,
So low dear
I am the thief without the take
Im swallowing the bitterest pill
Totally ever so against my will
I am the thief without the take,
I am the thief without the take,
Everytime I try to do my art
Always fallin apart,
Fallin apart
I am the thief without the take,
I am the thief without the take,
Im the desert without sun
Five minus one diamond without shine
Im the poem that doesnt rhyme
Im the king on the hill
Sick and ill

Medley Piaf
I used to know a little square
So long ago, when I was small
All summer long it had a fair
Wonderful fair with swings and all
I used to love my little fair
And at the close of everyday
I could be found, dancing around
A merry-go-round that used to play:
ah, mon amour
A toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux
All summer long my little fair
Made everyday like a holiday
Night after night it used to play
People came there from so far away
And everyone sang that little tune
All around the town you heard it played
Even pepi from napoli
He sang to marie this serenade

Last Goodbye
French part :
( quoi ? quest ce que cest ? / what ? whats this?
Quest ce que cest piaf ? / what is piaf ?
Ah paris ! manger beaucoup le fromage ! / ah paris ! eat a lot of cheese !
La la la la la last goodbye... )
This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But its over
Just hear this and then Ill go
You gave me more to live for
More than youll ever know
This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why cant we overcome this wall
Well, maybe its just because I didnt know you at all
Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry cause I know that in time
Ill only make you cry, this is our last goodbye
Did you say no, this cant happen to me,

Catnip Dream
(m.nakatani)
Originally performed by the shonen knife. jeff performed it live at great american music hall, san francisco, on may 4 1995.
He is a cat but hes very very fat
Hes not just a standard cat
He is a cat but hes still very fat
American calico cat
Catnip is a kitty cat drug
One puff two puffs, high in a dream
Funny kittys got very sleepy eyes
I wonder what hes dreaming of
Catnip dream catnip dream catnip
Dream meow meow meow
Catnip dream
He gets his kicks from a tiny toy
A green frog filled with catnip
And pretty soon hes going to be seventeen
Kitty cat birthday party
Catnip is a kitty cat drug
We plant catnip seeds together
All summer long he watches it growing

Perhaps its the color of the sun cut flat
An covrin the crossroads Im standing at,
Or maybe its the weather or something like that,
But mama, you been on my mind.
I dont mean trouble, please dont put me down or get upset,
I am not pleadin or sayin, I cant forget.
I do not walk the floor bowed down anbent, but yet,
Mama, you been on my mind.
Even though my mind is hazy anmy thoughts they might be narrow,
Where you been dont bother me nor bring me down in sorrow.
It dont even matter to me where youre wakin up tomorrow,
But mama, youre just on my mind.
I am not askin you to say words like yes or no,
Please understand me, I got no place for you tgo.
Im just breathin to myself, pretendin not that I dont know,
Mama, you been on my mind.
When you wake up in the mornin, baby, look inside your mirror.
You know I wont be next to you, you know I wont be near.

Kick Out The Jams
(m.davis/r.derminer/w.kambes/f.d.smith/d.tomich)
Originally performed by the motor city 5. jeff often performed it live.
Im gonna kick em out
Well I feel pretty good
And I guess that I could get crazy now, baby
cause we all got in tune
When the dressing room got hazy now, baby
I know how you want it, child,
Hot, sweet, and tight
The girls cant stand it
When youre doing it right
When theyre up on the stand
And then they kick out the jams, yes
Kick out the jams, I like to kick em out
Yes Im startin to sweat
You know my shirts all wet
What a feelin
And the sound that abounds and
Resounds and rebounds off the ceiling
You gotta have it, baby

Dink's Song
(b.gibson/b.lomax/j.lomax)
This is a blues traditional that has been performed also by bob dylan. jeff performed it several times in his concerts, and he performed it also live on-air for the music faucet, a wfmu radio broadcast, on october 11 1992.
If i had wings like noah's dove
I'd fly up the river to the one i love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
If i met your man, who was long and tall
I'd hit his body like a cannon ball
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
One of these days and it won't be long
Call my name and i'll be gone
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
I remember one night, a drizzling rain
Round my heart i felt an achin' pain
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
When i wore my apron low
Couldn't keep you from my do'
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Now i wear my apron high
Scarcely ever see you passing by
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

Morning Theft
(j.buckley)
Time takes care of the wound, so I can believe.
You had so much to give, you thought I couldnt see.
Gifts for boot heels to crush, promises deceived
I had to send it away to bring us back again.
Our eyes and bodies brighten silent waters, deep.
Your precious daughter in the other room, asleep.
A kiss goodnight from every stranger that I meet.
I had to send it away to bring us back again.
Morning theft. unpretender left, ungraceful.
True self is what brought you here, to me.
A place where we can accept this love.
Friendship battered down by useless history,
Unexamined failure.
What am I still to you?
Some thief who stole from you?
Or some fool drama queen whose chances were few?
That brings us to who we need,
A place where we can save
A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir.
