Sweetness Follows

Readying to bury your father and your mother,
What did you think when you lost another?
I used to wonder why did you bother,
Distanced from one, blind to the other?
Listen here my sister and my brother
What would you care if you lost the other?
I always wonder why did we bother,
Distanced from one, deaf to the other.
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows
Its these little things, they can pull you under.
Live your life filled with joy and wonder.
I always knew this altogether thunder
Was lost in our little lives.
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows.
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows.
Its these little things, they can pull you under.
Live your life filled with joy and thunder.
Yeah, yeah we were altogether
Lost in our little lives.
Oh. oh. ah.

A Girl Like You

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
I get so disturbed, Im all alone
I feel so funny talking on the phone
I fall apart when I hear you speak
Believe me girl, I just feel weak
I wonder how I got involved with a girl like
You want to tell me that Im not youre kind of guy
You break the news and I break down and cry, I cry
Youre having fun, well thats all right
Im too weak to put up a fight
I wish youd just tell what was wrong
Instead of leading my on
I get so disturbed when Im all alone
I feel so funny talking on the phone
I fall apart when I hear your speak
Believe me girl, I just feel weak
I wish youd just tell me what was wrong
Instead of leading me on
I try to call
(call on the phone)

Tainted Obligation

I saw the shoals at night, with the moon above.
I felt an obligation, and heard your voice again.
If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.
If I reached out tonight, I found I couldn't fight it.
If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.
Ohhhhhh
Best as a wishing star, I saw you better far away,
and I felt obligation, and heard your voice again.
Hear the rush of water, passing over the shoals.
Hear my heartbeat rather, if I reached out tonight.
If I reach out tonight and find I can't fight it,
and look to the stars, and wander towards a
heartfelt obligation, a place that you called home
and heard your voice again, but it's too late.
You left long ago, and now you're probably dead and gone,
and I'm left here with the water and the shoals and a tainted obligation.
Ohhhhhh

Low Desert

It happened fast, its over quick.
A little dust and the engine kicks.
Did your hands drift down off the wheel?
Roll out, hit your windshield
An eyelish or a little bit of sleep? time stands still.
Just call it now and youre on your way (hey, hey, hey)
All the ashtrays, cities and the freeway drives
Broken casino and waterslides
Eighteen-wheeler, payback dice.
Gravity flows on the power line.
Jet stream cuts the desert sky.
This is a land could eat a man alive.
Say youd leave it all behind.
Theres a radio tower thats egging me on
Back to the place where you never belong.
Where people thrive on their own contempt.
Whatever meaning is long gone, spent.
If you had to guess or make bet,
Would you place yourself inside of it?
The mountains yawn, the clouds let out a sigh.

Dream

Dream, dream dream dream, dream, dream dream dream
When I want you in my arms, when I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do, is
Dream, dream dream dream
When I feel blue in the night, and I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do, is
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine, any time, night or day
Only trouble is, gee wiz, I'm dreamin' my life away
I need you so that I could die, I love you so, and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do, is
Dream, dream dream dream, dream
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine, any time, night or day
Only trouble is, gee wiz, I'm dreamin' my life away
I need you so that I could die, I love you so, and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do, is
Dream, dream dream dream (repeats out)

Love Is All Around (Athens Studio)

The Troggs)
I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me and so the feeling grows
It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go
So if you really love me, come on and let it show
You know I love you I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend
I see your face before me, as I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking of all the things we said
You gave a promise to me, and I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me in everything I do
You know I love you I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend
It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go
So if you really love me, come on and let it show
Come on and let it show

Burning Hell

Women got legs, men got pants
I got the picnic, you got the ants,
Put it in the fire heaven knows
Take my torch and touch your toes in hell
Its a burning hell
You can burn in hell
Its a burning hell
You can burn in hell
Its a burning hell
Women dont fret, boys dont bet
Let me see your silhouette in hell
Women above me take my love
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love
Its a burning hell
Its a burning hell
Baby, baby, baby, Im hell
Its a burning hell
Girl stop moving, boy behave
Baby, Ill put you in an early grave in hell
Love on the ceiling, love on the floor

I Took Your Name

I wore the clothes you wanted
I took your name
If there is some confusion,
Whos to blame?
I signed your living will
I smiled your face
Im ready to close the book on
Nasa and outer space
If there is some confusion
Whos to blame?
Whos to blame?
I sequenced your arrival
I sealed your fate
I pushed the button
And erased your master tape
I wrote the sales pitch
I threw the gray switch
I dragged your big-assed
Dirty robbed car out of that ditch
If there is some confusion

Lisa Said

There you come again, I see you're having your everlasting smile on your
face, like now n' then.
I cannot hide, I cannot fight, I cannot go, you know, you know, you
know,
hey, do you know
that you do not have to entertain anybody, that you do not have to
entertain my cat,
if you don't want that, yeah.
It seems that you don't know that you're twisted by your nature n'
that's the reason
I hate ya.
I'm gone, I can't stay another day.
Roll my mind, hold my hands up in the air.
So here it comes now - a coupple of hard words, yah, yah, I know this
hurts but I'm so, so happy.
'cos you, oh yes, yes, you do really deserve this. Shed a tear when you
want me to stop.
So many times you have made people cry. So many lies, why I'm asking.
I'm the one who will say, hey get out of my way, because you're twisted.
Oh yes you are

Dangerous Times

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
These are dangerous times
Nothing to care or die for
These are dangerous times
What you want, someone will buy for you
Dont get away
Its so easy to wait
Youve been wearing the green
Ive been wearing the fall
And you said that all was just agreed
(chorus)
Dont get away
Dont get away
I saw a guy out on the street
Said, I know what you need, boy
I can set you fine
I didnt buy his line, because
These are dangerous times
I dont want to get old
You say that everythings fine
