Wonderful at All 03:00
lyrics
buy track
Woke up early though I don’t know why I work alone in a five by five Shooting numbers through a wire in the wall By tomorrow ain’t worth nothing at all Ain’t it wonderful Wonderful at all Went for a walk in the sun and the rain Wind was so strong, blew my mask away Better hurry, get back to my place The world keeps rolling, rolling in space Ain’t it wonderful Wonderful at all The world keeps rolling, rolling along It may be right, it may be wrong But I keep on singing that same old song The world keeps spinning, spinning along Ain’t it wonderful Wonderful at all

Crawling up your back That’s a little monkey attack And he smiles so sweet He’ll never let you go Gonna fly down low Nobody see that show Gonna take it in all that Keep that monkey big and fat Ma ma ma ma monkey Monkey on your back Ma ma ma ma monkey Never let you go If I had a dollar For every line you sow Hundred-one excuses Watch that monkey Glow As broke as you are As down as it gets You still got it From one more fix Ma ma ma ma monkey Monkey on your back Ma ma ma ma monkey Never let you go No no no

To the pussy grabbers and the hair snatchers We’ve got a message for you You are old as sin And your time in through Hey you dirty old men Pack up those long ties All those silly lies Better to take that pill Fuck off somewhere and chill Hey you dirty old men It’s time to pack it in Goodbye dirty old men Hey now do not worry About that last gaff We’ll stick it in your epitaph Who’s gonna have that last laugh Hey you dirty old men Pack up those long ties All those silly lies Better to take that pill Fuck off somewhere and chill Hey you dirty old men It’s time to pack it in Goodbye dirty old men Hey you dirty old men It’s time to pack it in Hey you dirty old men Goodbye dirty old men

Laughing at the rain Gonna see it through Laughing at the rain Smiling like we're insane There's a word stuck Just under my soul Like to pull it out It's a nasty a thorn Hey hey hey now Laughing at the rain Sitting way up high In a mojo world Next to my lover Pulled back tight Feeling frisky Feeling fine Looking at the folks Running around blind Hey hey hey now Laughing at the rain Hey hey now Laughing at the rain I am standing At the window pane I've been calling your name Can you hear it Can you see it Can you feel those chains We are standing In the fringe Laughing at the rain Hey hey now Hey hey Laughing at the rain

Million Miles Did you catch the news on the picture tubeT he latest spin from the politicians Well, neither did I—can’t take no more lies So we put on tune Blew some smoke through the room Went a million miles from here It can happen like this It can happen right here And we can be a million miles away Who can say Cause we can dream And we can sing A million miles away Up on the sixth floor Feeling no wrong Dirty street below Million miles gone She whispered to me We hid deep inside—a very old song Picked up my guitar I played a tune—just for you She sang along and made it rhyme And told of a time that we once knew Who can say Cause we can dream And we can sing A million miles away Blew some smoke through the room And went a million miles from here I can happen like this—it can happen right here And we can be a million miles away Picked up my guitar I played a tune—just for you She sand along and made it rhyme And tole of a time that we once knew Who can say Cause we can dream And we can sing A million miles away Who will know When we blow Through our day A million miles away

Hey! Where's Uncle Al Guess he's hiding from you Hey! Where's Uncle Al Guess you don't have a clue Think he's hiding down in that cellar room Far far from the likes of you He just don't know your kind of boogie Don't know nothing new – don't have a clue He'd rather slam – he'd rather jam That old fool and his old-school moves Than dance with all them kids Eccentric queens in their electric shoes Hey! Where's Uncle Al Guess he's hiding from you Hey! Where's Uncle Al Guess you don't have a clue Hey! Where's Uncle Al

It‘s times like these The fire burns on On and on Sinks into the night I wish away That old routine She smiles And I hide it Deep inside How I wish for times like these It‘s times like these It‘s times like these In the back of my mind The time is ticking away Time is ticking away The music plays slow All through the night It‘s times like these

Past the End of the Street 04:48
lyrics

There are songs that sell you This or that thing There are songs the tell you How to go about you day There are songs filled With love and hate But this song is simple And easy to relate We are all just living in a bubble We are all living in a dream There are folks that preach to you How to live your life today Some of them will yell and scream Things you should never say Some of them will lock you up And throw the key away But these words are simple Each and every way We are all just living in a bubble We are all living in a dream We are all just living in a bubble Where no one can hear you scream We are all just living in a bubble We are all living in a dream We are all just living in a bubble Where no one can hear you scream No one can see past the end of the street And no one will hear you scream
