Something Special
All dressed up, nowhere to go
Looks so easy but it isnt you know
Hard to find what youre dreamin of
But theres something special about our love
Different people, different worlds
You just call me, and Ill be there for you
We belong together you know its true
cause theres something special about our love
Its all right,
Baby, its ok
Were gonna make it no matter what they say
Sure as the stars shine in the sky above
There is something special about our love
People change as time goes by
Others come between
But Ill love you til the day I die
cause theres something special bout you and me
Something special about our love

Song For The Dead
Deep in the field
A lone soldier stands
With mud on his boot
And blood on his hands
They left him behind
To bury the dead
And to say a few words on behalf of the leadership
Pardon me, boys
If I sleep off my pack
And sit for a while with you
Id like to explain
Why you fine young men had to be blown apart
To defend this mud hole
Now our country, boys
Though its quite far away
Found itself jeopardized
Endangered, boys
By these very gooks
Who lie here beside you
Forever near

Old Man
Everyone has gone away
Can you hear me? can you hear me?
No one cared enough to stay
Can you hear me? can you hear me?
You must remember the old man
I know that you can if you try
So just open up your eyes, old man
Look whos come to say goodbye
The sun has left the sky, old man
The birds have flown away
And no one came to cry, old man
Goodbye, old man, goodbye
You want to stay, I know you do
But it aint no use to try
cause Ill be here-and Im just like you
Goodbye, old man, goodbye
Wont be no God to comfort you
You taught me not to believe that lie
You dont need anybody
Nobody needs you

Davy The Fat Boy
Ive been his friend since we were little babies
I was a comfort to his mother and a pal to his dad
Before they passed away they said,
Please take care of our davy
You may be the only friend he ever will have
Davy the fat boy, davy the fat boy
Isnt he round? isnt he round?
What do he weigh folks?
Can you guess what he weigh?
Its only a quarter
Win a teddy bear for the girlfriend
Or something for the wife
You got to let this fat boy in your life
I think we can persuade him to do
The famous fat boy dance for you
Give me half a chance
I just know youll like my fat boys dance
Davy the fat boy, davy the fat boy
Isnt he
Isnt he round?

Going Home
This is a world war I song. world war I fascinates me because it was such a shock to the world. nothing before or since has come close. it was a horrible, horrible event. it was modern weaponry
Avalry and then tanks. they fought for four years over a hundred yards, some ridiculously small amount of ground. its the stupidest event in history.
This is one of those songs that I just cant sing - its right in one of the cracks in my range. so we did it to approximate what a recording of that era would sound like. I know mitchells
G to get blamed in some review for using all these effects, but we did it because I simply cant sing the thing.

Lovers Prayer
Dont send me no young girl to love me
With their eyes shinin bright
All the young girls are afraid of me
Send me a woman tonight
Dont send me no hand-holdin baby
cause I been with babies before
Dont send me nobody thats crazy
Dont send me no young girls no more
I was entertaining a little girl in my rooms, lord
With california wines and french parfumes, lord
She started to talk to me about the war, lord
I said, I dont want to talk about the war.
Dont send me nobody with glasses
Dontt want nobody above me
Dont send nobody takin night-classes
Send me somebody to love me
Please answer my prayer
Please answer my prayer
Please answer my prayer

So Long Dad
Home again and the streets are not much cleaner
And the quaint old south side scenery
Is quaint no more
Just older than before
Go up the stairs and down the hallway
To my daddys door
Your son is home, dad, and hes found a girl
And shes the greatest girl in all the world
I think youll like her, dad, I hope you do
But if you dont thats alright, too
Whats new? do you still work at the drugstore?
Is that true? still polishing the same floor?
I missed my good old dad
My but Im glad to see you
Come and see us, poppa, when you can
Therell always be a place for my old man
Just drop by when its convenient to
Be sure and call before you do
So long dad

Real Emotional Girl
Shes a real emotional girl
She wears her heart on her sleeve
Every little thing you tell her
Shell believe
She really will
She even cries in her sleep
Ive heard her
Many times before
I never had a girl who loved me
Half as much as this girl loves me
Shes real emotional
For eighteen years she lived at home
She was daddys little girl
And daddy helped her move out on her own
She met a boy
He broke her heart
And now she lives alone
And shes very, very careful
Yes she is
Shes a real emotional girl

Little Criminals
What you wanna come back here for?
Thought youre with your uptown friends
Dont need none of your junkie business
You gonna screw us up again
Get your blackjack off my table
Get your coat out of my rack
We dont need you round here, jerk-off
Chuck, I want you off my back
cause weve almost made it
Weve almost made it
Weve almost made it to the top
Got a gun from uncle freddy
Got a station all picked out
Got a plan and now were ready
Gonna take that station out
So you go about your business
You just leave use folks alone
We dont need no two-bit junkie
Screwin up our happy home
cause weve almost made it
