Icky Thump

1-
IIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE
Icky Thump
Who's Da Thunk?
Sittin' Drunk On A Wagon To Mexico.

Ahh Well
What A Chump
Well I Hit On The Radio.

RedHead Senhorita
Looking Dead
Came And Said
"Need A Red?"
En Español.

I Said
"Gimme A Drink A Water,
I'm Gonna 'Sing Around The Collar'
AndI Don't Need A Microphone."

2-
Icky Thump
With A Lump In My Throat
Grabbed My Coat
And I Was Freaking
I Was Ready To Go!

And I Swear
Beside The Hair
She Had One White Eye,
One Black (NK) Stare
Lookin' Up
Lyin' There.

On the Stand
Near Her Hand
Was A Candy Cane,
Black Rum, Sugar Cane,
Dry Ice (And) Something Strange.

La La La La La La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La La La La

3-
White Americans, What?
Nothing Better To Do?
Why Don't You Kick Yourself Out
You're An Immigrant Too.

Who's Using Who?
What Should We Do?
Well, You Can'r Be A Pimp
And A Prostitute Too.

Icky thump
Handcuffed To A Bunk
Robbed Blind
Looked Around
And There Was Nobody Else

Left Alone
I Hit Myself With A Stone
When Home And Learned How
To Clean Up After Myself.

You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told)

1-
In Some Respects
I Suspect You've Got
A Respectable Side.

When Pushed And Pulled
And Preeured,
You Seldom Run And Hide.

But It's For Someone Else's Benefit
Not For What You Want To Do.
And Until I Realize That You've Realized
I'm Gonna Say These Words To You:

Refrão
You Don't Know What Love Is
You Just Do As You're Told.
Just As A Child Of Ten Might Act
But You're Far Too Old.
You're Not Hopeless,
Or Helpless
And I Hate To Sound Cold...
But You Don't Know What Love Is
You Just DO As You're Told.

2-
I Can See Your Man Can't Help But Win
Any Problems That May Arise.
But In His Mind There Can Be No Sin
If You Never Criticize.
You Just Keep On Repeating All Those
Empty "I Love You"'S.
Until You See That You Deserve Better
I'm Gonna Lay Right Into You.

Refrão
You Don't Know What Love Is
You Just Do As You're Told.
Just As A Child Of Ten Might Act
But You're Far Too Old.
You're Not Hopeless,
Or Helpless
And I Hate To Sound Cold.

But You Don't Know Love Is
No You Don't Know Love Is
No You Don't Know Love Is...

You Just Do As You're Told
Yeah
You Do As You're Told.

300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues

1-
I'm Calling Out To Ghosts
That Are No Longer There.
I'm Getting Hard On Myself,
Sitting In My Easy Chair.
Well There's Three People
In The Mirror
And I'm Wondering
Which One Of Them I Should Choose,
But I Can't Keep From Laughing
Spitting Out These Three Hundred M.P.H.
OutPour Blues.

2-
I'm Breaking My Teeth Off
Trying To Bite My Lip.
There's all Kinds Of RedHead Women
That I Ain't Supposed To Kiss.
And It's That Color Which Never Fails
To Turn Me Blue.
So I Just Swallow It.
And Hold On To It.
And Use It To Scare The Hell Out Of You.

3-
I Have A Woman That Says
"Come And Watch Me Bleed."
And I'm Wondering, Just How I Cand Do That
And Still Give Her Everything That She Needs.
There's Three People In My Head That Have The
Answer And
One Of Them's Got To Be You.
But You're Holding Tight To It
The Answer
Singing These Three Hundred M.P.H.
OutPour Blues.

4-
Put On Gloves, A Tight Scarf
And Wrap Up Warm
On This Winter Night.
Every Time You Get Defensive
You're Just Looking For A Fight.
It's Safe To Say Somebody Out There's
Got A Problem With
Almost Anything You'll Do.
Well, Next Time They Stab You
Don't Fight Back
Just Play The Victim,
Instead Of Playing The Foll.

5-
And The Roads Are Covered With A Million
Tiny Molecules
Of Cigarette Ashes
And The School Floors Are Covered
With Pieces Of Pencil Eraser Too.
Sooner Or Later The Ground's Gonna Be Holding all
Of My Ashes Too.
An I Can Not Help But Wonder
If After I'm Gone Will I Still Have These
300 M.P.H
Finger Breaking
No Answers
Broken Back
Dirty Cancer
Bee Stung
And Busted Up
Empty Cup
Torrential OutPour Blues

One Thing's For Sure In That Graveyard
I'm Gonna Have The Shiniest Pair Of Shoes.

Conquest

1-
Conquest
She Was Just Another Conquest
Didn't Care What Harm Was Done
Just As Long As He Won
The Prize.

2-
Conquest
He Was Out To Make A Conquest
Didn't Care Whose Heart Was Broke
Love To Him Was A JOke
Till He Looked Into Her Eyes.

And Then In The Strange Way Things Happen
Their Roles Were Reversed From That Day
The Hunted Became The Huntress
The Hunter Became The Prey.

3-
Conquest
Now You Konw Who Made The Conquest
She With All Her Female Guile
Led Him Helpless Down The Aisle
She Had Finally Made A
Conquest.

Bone Broke


1-
Look Closer You Can See
How I Been Running It.
I Got A Dollar Bill In The Cockpit.
Surprised Being White Is A Black Hole?
I Got Another Job At The Liquor Store.
Damn, I'm Bone Broke.

2-
They Got A White Pony In A Stable
And Ride Him When The Doggie Isn't Able.
But He Don't Really Care 'Cause They Pay Him.
But Still A Black Suit
Is Gonna Shake Him Down.
Oh Well
I'm Bone Broke.
Broke As I'll Ever Be.


Look Another Way Girl I'm Telling Ya
God Gave Seven Minutes Right To Ya.
And Your Mother Put Her Money Into Platinum
So That You Wouldn't Have To Pay
Attetion.
Right?

3-
I'm Leaning On A Brick With My Nails,
I'm Telling 'Em The Money's In The Mail.
Keeps Showing That My Bones
Never Fake It
But Still A Brick Bank Is Gonna Break It Down.
Oh Well
I'm Brone Broke.


Look Another Way Girl I'm Telling Ya
God Gave Seven Minutes Right To Ya.
Your Mother Put Her Money Into Platinum
And Now You Never Have To Pay
Attetion.
Do You?

Prickly Thorn, But Sweetly Worn

Refrão:

Singing
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh

1-
Well The Hills Are Pretty And Rollin'
But The Thorn Is Sharp And Swollen
And The Man Plays A Beautiful Whistle
But He Wears A Prickly Thistle
Singing
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh

Well A Li De Li De Li Oh

2-
The Silver Birches Pierce Through And Icy Fog
Which Covers The Ground Most Daily
And The Angels Which Carry St. Andrew High
Are Singin A Tune Most Gaily.

3-
One Sound Can Hold Back A Thousand Hands
When The Pipe Plays A Tune Forlorn
And The Thistle Is A Prickly Flower
Aye, But How It Is Sweetly Worn.

Singing
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh

St. Andrew (This Battle Is In The Air)

This Battle Is In The Air
I'm Looking Upwards
Who Is Here To Greet Me?
St. Andrew Don't Forsake Me
St. Andrew?
Don't Forsake Me
I'm Not In My HOme
The Children Are Crying
I'm Moving Backwards In Ecstasy.
Where Are The Angels?
I'm Not In My Home
Where Are The Angels?
St. Andrew
I've Been True
The Children Are Crying

Little Cream Soda

Well Every Highway That I Go Down
Seems To Be Longer Than
The Last One That I Knew About
Oh Well

and This Old Man In Front Of Me
Holding Canes And Wearing Ruby Rings
Is Like Containing An Explosion When He Sings
But With Every Chance To Set Himself On Fire
He Just Ends Up Doing The Same Thing.

Well Every Beatiful Thing I Come Across
Tells Me To Stop Moving And Shake This Riddle Off
Oh Well

And There was A Time When All I Wanted Was My
Ice Cream Colder, And A Little Cream Soda
Oh Well, Oh Well

And A Wooden Box, And An Alley Ful Of Rocks
Was All I Had To Care About
Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well

But Now My Mind Is Filled With Rubber Tires
And Forest Fires
And Whether I'm Liar
And Lost Of Other, Situations Where I Don't Know
What To Do At Which Time God Screams To Me
"There's Nothing Left For Me To Tell You."

Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well

I'm Slowly Turning Into You

1-
I'm Slowly Turning Into You
But You Don't Know This
To Be True
You Say I'm Lying And I Never Really
Tell You The Truth.
But Your Face Is Getting Older
So Put Your Head On My Shoulder.

Yeah Put Your Head On My Shouldre.

2-
Yesterday It Hit Me That I Do
All The Little Things
That You Do Except Those Same Little Things
That You Do
Are Annoying.
They're Annoying As Hell In Fact
It Kind Of Struck A Little Bell In Fact
I Like To Keep My Little Shell Intact.


And I'm Slowly Turning Into You
And I'm Slowly Turning Into You
And I'm Slowly Turning Into You

3-
Then Something Else Came To Mind
And That Was The Mirror
It Made Everything Clearer
That You're More Beatiful
Compelling And Stronger
It Didn't Take Much Longer
Just For Me To Realize
I Love All The Little Things
And The Beauty That They're Gonna Bring
I Dig Your Little Laugh
And I'm Loving Your Quick Wit
I Even Love It When You're Faking It!
And This Might Sound A Little Strange
For Me To Say To You
But
I'm Proud To Be You,

And I'm Slowly Turning Into You
And I'm Slowly Turning Into You
And I'm Slowly Turning Into You

Martyr For My Love For You

1-
She Was Sixteen
And Six Feet Tall
In A Crowd Of Teenagers
Coming Out Of The Zoo.


She Stumbled Started To Slip And Fall
Teeter Tottered On The Top
Of Patent Leather Shoes;

I Happen To Cacth Her And Said
"Maybe These Ruby Shoes Are
A Little Cumbersome For You."

Maybe For You, Now.

2-
But Not As Shaky
As I Must've Seemed Talking Junk Through Her
Giggle Little Teenage Dream.

And on The Phone I Could Not Compete
My Dumb Luck
Fake Getting Weak.

And For A Sec
I Thought I Sounded Sweet
But Sure Enough
In A Gruff Faint Voice
I Heard Myself Speak...

I Could Stay Awhile
But Sooner Or Later
I'll Break Your Smile
And I Can Tell A Joke
But One Of These Days
I'm Bound To Choke And We Might Start To Kiss
But I Fell Like I Can't Go
Through Woth This
And I Bet We Could Build A Home
But I Know The Right Thing
For Me To Do
Is To Leave You Alone


3-
I'm Beginning To Like You
So You Probably Won't Get
What I'm Going To Do.

I'm Walking Away From You
It Probably Don't Make
No Sense To You.

But I'm Trying To Save You
From All Of The Things That
I'll Probably Say Or Do.

i'll Probably Do, Now.

I Could Stay Awhile
But Sooner Or Later
I'll Break Your Smile
And I Can Tell A Joke
But One Of These Days
I'm Bound To Choke And We Might Start To Kiss
But I Fell Like I Can't Go
Through Woth This
And I Bet We Could Build A Home
But I Know The Right Thing
For Me To Do
Is To Leave You Alone

4-
You'll Probably Call Me A Foll
And Sat I'm Doind Exactly
What A Coward Would Do.

And I'm Beginning To Like You
It's A Shame
What A Lame Way To Live
But What Can I Do?

Well I Hope You Appreciate
What I Do...

I'm A Martyr For My Love For You.

Effect And Cause

1-
I Guess You Have To Have A Problem
If You Want To Invent A Contraption.
First You Cause A Train Wreck
Then They Put Me In Traction?
Well, First Comes An Action
And Then A Reaction
But You Can't Change 'Em Round
For You Own Satisfaction
Well You Burned My House Down
Then Got Mad
At My Reaction.

2-
Well In Every Complicated Situation
Of Human Relation
Making Sense Of It All Takes A Whole Lot
Of Concentration
You Can't Blame A Baby
For Her Pregnat Ma
And If There's One Of These Unavoidable Laws
It's That You Just Can't Take The Effect
And Make It The Cause.

Well You Can't Take The Effect
And Make It The Cause
I Didn't Rob A Bank
Because You Made Up The Law
Blame Me For Robbing Peter
But Don't You Blame Paul!
Yoy Can't Take The Effect
And Make It The Cause.

3-
I Ain't The Reason
That You Gave Me No Reason
To Return Your Call
You Built A House Of Cards
And Got Shocked When You Saw Them Fall
I Ain't Saying I'm Innocent
In Fact, The Reverse
But If You're Headed To The Grave
You Don't Blame The Hearse
You're Like A Little Gril
Yellin' At Her Brother
'Cause You Lost His Ball.

4-
Well You Keep Blaming Me
For What You Did
But That Ain't All
The Way You Clean Up A Wreck
Is Enough To GIve One Pause!
You Seem To Forget
Just How This All Started
I'm Reaction To You
Because You Left Me
Broken Hearted
Well You Just Can't Take
The Effect
And Make It The Cause.

Well You Can't Take The Effect
And Make It The Cause
I Didn't Rob A Bank
Because You Made Up The Law
Blame Me For Robbing Peter
But Don't You Blame Paul!
Yoy Can't Take The Effect
And Make It The Cause.
