Real

My sister had a nursery rhyme
Set of figurines
Shed often let me play with them id
Set em up in different scenes
Fifty plastic army men, led by superman
Destroyed the ranks of mother goose
Mary and her little
Lamb slips away and catches
Sister getting real
And I can too, as long as I dont
Make a sound
When we were real we were in love
With everone and everything, I guess it
Was the beauty of
Bluebird clears his throat of phlegm
And static singing operatic
Evening comes, and the butterflies are
Bats eat the spider that had saddled up
Beside her
And the dish, his lovin spoon were

Villains

I turned the volume up this morning
Till there was ringing in my ears
I havent felt this good in years
Another villain on the cover
Of every major magazine
The victim somewhere in between
See how they twist and shout
And as Im searching for the story
Subscription card falls to the floor
Im losing interest more and more
To pick it up Im bending over
Out of the corner of my eye
I see a pair of blazing thighs
See how they twist and shout
See how they twist and shout
I straighten up to look her over
And up my back a shooting pain
Its bound to settle in my brain
Another villain on the cover
Of every major magazine

Barely

When my love complained, every word
A breath on my last dandelion
And so lovers will leave and their tears
Souvenirs for the very first time
I searched the world reluctant
To find a lover enthusiastic
Speak to me barely if at all
When I was a boy, funny things
Water wings kept you confident
A belly of wine, similar
To keep yourself indifferent
And I scraped the bargain basement
Bought a lover less than fantastic
Spoke to me barely if at all
Taste perfume that burns my throat
And I am free of envelope
Squeeze an instant out of me
And she placed a hand between our lips
How could anything be so precious
She kissed me barely if at all

Blow You Away

When my love complained, every word
A breath on my last dandelion
And so lovers will leave and their tears
Souvenirs for the very first time
I searched the world reluctant
To find a lover enthusiastic
Speak to me barely if at all
When I was a boy, funny things
Water wings kept you confident
A belly of wine, similar
To keep yourself indifferent
And I scraped the bargain basement
Bought a lover less than fantastic
Spoke to me barely if at all
Taste perfume it burns my throat
And I am free of envelope
Squeeze an instant out of me
And she placed a hand between our lips
How could anything be so precious
She kissed me barely if at all

Ive Suffered A Head Injury

Vanilla ice man cometh, goeth
Sampling, dealing, music stolen
To pre-pubescent girls appealing
Re-mix record contract sealing
Borrowed lyrics sung with feeling slumping
Record sales are healing
Concert hall promoters kneeling
Keeping grateful deadheads relling
Quite suppressed yet quite revealing
Influence is far from stealing
Ive suffered a head Ive suffered a head injury
Ive suffered a head Ive suffered a head injury
Techno-pop kids, stardoms rockets
Money in their labels pocket
Unrelentless, thoughtless selling
Busting charts, atop theyre dwelling
Lacking substance story telling
Lost the message in this yelling
Robbing fortunes from the willing
Endless posing, mindless chilling

Headlines

I met a girl with bottles of wine
Though I prefer red, they tasted all right
Very soon, the room was spinning
Tug of war, the floor was winning
Thats when she said, I cant help but laugh when Im caught in a lie
Im not who you thought, but you can kiss me good night
Her mouth was full of dirty words
Then cigarettes burned afterwards, thats when she said
Having a headline must be some experience
Having a headlines a sexual experience
Letters and postcards I meant to respond
Turned out my all was just medium
Then came one that said the only thing you ever gave were bad directions
Id say it to your face but I cant find you
Having a headline...
I loved the fame and fashion till she said you better ration the good times
I wouldnt count on the good times
Having a headline...

Gotta Move On

Written by donny brown
Love is not strong
Love is not stable
I tried to hold it
But I wasnt able
I never thought that Id be
Saying this to you
But what else could I do?
Love leads to loss
And words condescending
Love is the pathway
To unhappy endings
And if I keep my chin up
I still see clouds that look like you
So look down is what I do
You know its all right
If you cry a little
If something inside you
Has died a little
You dont have to hide

Never Let You Down

Written by donny brown
Im trying to keep my feet on the ground
Im getting to like this feeling Ive found
Im getting to love the thought of
Having you around and
I will never let you down
Your friends were all well-meaning
When they said no one is good enough for you
But if they play with your emotions
Dismiss the notion
And do what you have to do
Cause people dont take chances with their hearts
Since Ive met you I am past the hardest part
So remember one thing
I will never let you down
Im trying to keep...
Sometimes you feel defeated
But its ok...
Youre not the only one
And all the complications,

Clean Break

I think you need some assistance
To keep yourself at a distance
Its harder when shes beautiful
Its easy when shes waking next to you
If youre gonna make a break, make a clean break
If youre gonna make a break, break clean
If youre gonna make a break, make a clean break
If youre gonna make a break, make a clean break
I can see the tables turning
Homefires lit, your house is burning
Its harder in the evening but
Its easy in the early afternoon
(repeat chorus)
Sure there is an easy out by staying in
For one more session
You justify it all by seeing her in moderation
No opportunity for her to start a new relation
You help yourself because youre sensing
Obligation
I think its great the way you handle
