"My Other Voice"



You're so independent but that's gonna change real soon
With my other voice I can destroy this room
I'll wrap my voice around you and I'll drag you everywhere
My other voice

You think you're romantic, well I'll whisper in your ear
I'll be all you'll hear for years and years and years
You may be deaf to everything, you won't be deaf to me
My other voice

"Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth"



When she's on her best behavior
Don't be tempted by her favours

Never turn your back on mother earth

Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that looked so smooth to me

Never turn your back on mother earth

Grasp at straws that don't want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crashing

Never turn your back on mother earth

Three days and two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings a quick return to my friends
To my friends

Never turn your back on mother earth

I'll admit I was unfaithful
But from now I'll be more faithful

Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never t urn your back on mother earth

"Nicotina"



Not every cigarette is a dead, dead thing
Some have a mind and try to be other things
Pushed in the pack, they crave some Virginia air
Softly, they pray to someone, but life ain't fair

They're born to lose
They're born to fill
The lungs of Jack
The lungs of Jill
And like I said
Life just isn't fair

Nicotina, Nicotina, Nicotina is her name

Once in a while a cigarette has a name
N-I-C-O-T-I-N-A, that's her name
She had a tiny voice, and she sang all day
She was a cigarette, but she loved to play

Nicotina, Nicotina, Nicotina is her name

A man with a cough
Stepped to the machine
Dropped coins in the slot
The end of a dream

He ripped the pack and coughed, and then coughed again
Popped out a cigarette, and we're near the end
She screamed and screamed but so much was filtered out
Now Nicotina's only a tiny cloud

Nicotina's gone, but life goes on though
Nicotina's gone, but life goes on though
Nicotina's gone, but life goes on and on and on and on and on
Nicotina, Nicotina, Nicotina was her name

"Noisy Boys"



Whispering breeze and the sound of the rain on the awning
Candlelight music, the sound of the rain in the air
All of that makes me feel nervous
I know it's part of your life
But once in a while I just got to be riled
You know it ain't nothin' personal babe

But noisy boys are happy boys
Let it out, let it out, get it crashing
Noisy boys are happy boys
Let it out, let it out, get it smashing
Noisy boys are happy boys
Let it out, let it out, keep on crashing
Noisy boys are happy boys
Let it out, let it out, let it out all the way

Hush little momma, your daddy has got to be moving
Hush little momma, your daddy is going away
Once in a while I get edgy
You've seen it happen before
Once in a while I just got to be riled
You know it ain't nothin' personal babe

"Nothing Is Sacred"



NOTHING...no nothing, IS...is, SACRED ...no sacred, ANY MORE
Adding some of this to some of that Madame Science wins again
We are now forever people, we'll outlive our will to live

Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more

I remember when I needed you several billion years ago
If you'll hang on just a trifle more I might need you once again

Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more

I am sure you will appreciate your new found leisure time
I am sure we will appreciate our new found leisure time

Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more

Well, if you have the money I've got time
And if you know a honey I've got time

If you have the money I've got time
And if you know a honey I've got time

Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more...

"Nothing To Do"



I want you
I want you bad
I need you
I need you
I do, I really do

Better drop the requirement that
everything be great
Nothing to do, nothing to do
Nothing to do, nothing to do

I come home
I throw my coat down
I spin round
I plop down
Gimme a break, a break

Better drop the requirement that
everything be great
Nothing to do, nothing to do
Nothing to do, nothing to do

If I had a million thumbs
I'd twiddle, twiddle
But I just have two
Nothing to do, nothing to do
Nothing to do, nothing to do

I see you
I don't want much
Just something
A little something
To do, to do

Better drop the requirement that
everything be great
Nothing to do, nothing to do
Nothing to do, nothing to do

"Now That I Own The BBC"


What was I thinking, what was I thinking
What was I thinking, what could I have been thinking
It's going one time, it's going two times
Sold to the gent who wears the stunned expression

As I took it off their hands
A five pound note was changing hands
As I took it off their hands
I had plans, I had plans

[CHORUS:]
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with this thing
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing

All this power, all this glory
All these DJs and all these lorries
What was I thinking, what was I thinking
What was I thinking, what could I have been thinking

Hey Rupert Murdoch, help me out
I'm flying blind, I'm flying blind
You know the way to lay things out
For the refined and unrefined

[CHORUS]

Hey Ted Turner, help me out
I'm flying blind, I'm flying blind
You know the way to work things out
To colorize and still feel fine

[CHORUS]

Make of it what you will, make of it what you will
Make of it what you will, make of it what you will

Should we go brighter, should we go lighter
Should we go whiter, go left or righter
What was I thinking, what was I thinking
I wasn't drinking, what could I have been thinking

[CHORUS]

Make of it what you will, make of it what you will
Make of it what you will, make of it what you will

[CHORUS]

Sailors
Stuntmen

Jewelers
G-men

Unless your daddy's filthy rich
You need
La, La
An occupation for you.

"Over The Summer"



You've got to trust in summer, miracles can happen if you do
'Cause all that heat speeds change in everything, maybe even you

If you're a summertime believer
If you're a summertime believer
July, you were the plainest of Janes
Through August, you got rearranged
September, you're not just a brain

Over the summer, over the summer, over the summer
I tried to find myself this summertime,
I found you instead
And please forgive me Karen, but in June you were kind of dead
But, then we had that three day hot spell

You really turned into a bombshell
July, you were the plainest of Janes
Through August, you got rearranged
September, you're not just a brain
Over the summer, over the summer, over the summer

Over the summer you're under the summer sun
Over the summer you're under the summer sun
Over the summer you're under the summer sun
Lying there, lying there, lying there, getting hot

You know the records that I got in June don't sound good no more
And all the clothes I bought in June are now rotting in my drawers
But you're a different girl, much better
A little redder, but much better

Was it just the heat of the sun
Was it that you had lots of fun
I wish that the summer weren't done
Over the summer, over the summer, over the summer.

"Photoshop"


Stars made to look younger
Sadness is erased
Baldness or aloofness
Gone without a trace
Signs you know the way to make men men
To make "Miss Everyday" a 10
To think you used to be my friend

Photoshop me out of your life [x6]

There you see a billboard
Faces super smooth
There an illustration
Whiteness, every tooth
Signs you've worked your magic once again
It's always better in the end
To think you used to be my friend

Photoshop me out of your life [x6]

Every blemish is gone in a flash
Lines that are crooked and colours that clash
Every blemish is gone in a flash
Lines that are crooked and colours that clash

Photoshop me out of your life [x4]

You know what you're doing
Look at the acclaim
Grant me one more favour
Alter the terrain
Make it look like as though I were in Hell
Or something near enough to Hell
Or something near enough to Hell
Give it a caption of "Farewell"

Photoshop me out of your life [x6]

"Pineapple"




Tropical air helps us harvest all year
And serves to promote the vitamin C content
In turn yielding greater demand

Pineapple: Got to send a case to the city jail
The warden likes it because it won't conceal
Any sort of handmade weapons
That are baked right into their buns
And the taste is delectable
But won't the prisoners hit the table and shout
Pineapple, pineapple, pineapple fulfills every need
Pineapple: shares are gonna divide
Pineapple: if in us you confide

Got a contract for all of the schools
They will use it for all of their meals
Sure, the kids will throw it real far
'Cause it ain't a milk chocolate bar
But you know it don't stain so bad
But won't the fling it at a friend and then shout

Pineapple: tastes too healthy to me
Pineapple: it's filled with vitamin C
Pineapple: fulfills every need
Pineapple: to all the ships at sea
Pineapple: for the English at tea
Pineapple: to the Siamese twins
Pineapple: to heal those who have sinned

Ship some to the Alpine skiing team
The coach won't have to worry 'bout the calories
Sure it ain't strudel (they're nice)
But it helps your balance on ice
Puts you back on the winning trail

But don't the players moan and groan and then shout:
Pineapple: we get it every old night
Pineapple: but we're winning all right
Pineapple fulfills every need
Pineapple: shares are gonna divide
Pineapple: if in us you confide
Pineapple fulfills every need
Pineapple: upward trends are foreseen
Pineapple: so invest in Big P
Pineapple fulfills every need
Pineapple: and the tins can be used
Pineapple: for anything that you choose
Pineapple, pineapple

We'll jet you there, breathe the Hawaiian air
Where hula is life, and luaus are for the wife
So visit our factory soon

"Pleasant Hotel Staff"


[HOTEL OPERATOR:]
It’s your wakeup call
Breakfast, sir, is on its way
Hope you have a pleasant day
Good day

[HOTEL CONCIERGE:]
Mr. Bergman, sir
Going for a stroll, I see
Sun is out, please leave your key
With me

"Please, Baby, Please"


I don't know why you treat me this way
I'm a sensitive guy and I'm really in pain
But you're cool to the point of saying "no dice"
Well, I'll never accept it, never accept it
Just think it over tonite
Just think it over for one more nite (oh)

[Chorus:]
Please baby please
Can't ya treat me better
Please baby please
Can't ya treat me better

I've been making a fool of myself
As the corniest guy in all of L.A.
Sending flowers and candy, the things I detest
But I gotta impress you, gotta impress you
All the things that I've tried
Are all the things that I once despised (oh)

[Chorus]

No one's worth all the stuff I go through
Only you, only you, only you, only you
You no speakee the language when I get near
And I'm losin' it fast, I'm gettin' weird

[Chorus]

"Popularity"



I like you and you like me a lot
And we do those things that can make us feel hot
Then we join some friends, all of them are all right
And we talk a while, then we climb in our cars

What a night, we all drive into town
Where we'll park our cars, and meet the rest of our friends
At a place that's called, I forget what it's called
But it's really great, and all our friends will be there

Popularity
Popularity

I like you and you like me a lot
And it's nice to be all alone with you too
But it's also nice being out with our friends
Cause they're all all right, maybe that's why we're friends

Popularity
Popularity
Popularity

I feel great, but it's getting real late
So I'll drive you home and you'll slide up real close
I'm so glad we met, and I like you so much
And I'm also glad that I got all those friends

"Prayin' For A Party"


Saturday nite and time that I go to bed
Daddy goodnite and momma goodnite, it's ten
Don't forget, son, to pray
Anything, dad, you say
I'm gonna pray 'til both my knees are red

Prayin' for a party, C'mon Lord, C'mon Lord
Prayin' for a party

All of my friends are prayin' like prayin' fools
Send us a little jive and we'll be all right
What do we have to do
What do we have to do
What do we have to do, Lord, to get on through

[Chorus]

I just can't wait no more
I'm runnin' out that door
God helps those who help themselves to a real good time

[Chorus]

"Pretending To Be Drunk"



That is what I had intended, pretending to be drunk
A little change in character, pretending to be drunk
You think I am weak and feeble
You think I'm a bore
When you drag me to a party
Soon I'm out the door
Next time I'll portray a suave sophisticated hunk
That is what I had intended, pretending to be drunk

That is what I had intended, pretending to be drunk
A bit of "I have lived and loved", I'm pretending to be drunk
You say I could use some swagger
You say toughen up
I am rigid as a board
You tell me loosen up
I'm so loose and I'm so tough
That I can barely move
That is what I had intended, pretending to be drunk

You notice a transformation, pretending to be drunk
I've lost all my inhibitions, pretending to be drunk
You an take me to the soiree
And be proud of me
Everyone will be impressed
I'll pas out on you knee
Now I am so continental, they think that it's nice
Think I'll pretend to be drunk for the rest of my life

That is what I had intended, pretending to be drunk

"Profile"



All that would presuppose a power bigger than us baby,
baby, baby start looking at me!

I know you've got a left eye
I know you've got a right
But will they be appearing together tonight

Profile, Profile
Don't your head include more than a profile

Profile, Profile
Don't your head include more than a profile

We're always cheek to cheek or cheek to face or face to cheek
but never face to hey, what do you say

Jackie serves to Johnny
Johnny serves to Jack
Jackie serves to Johnny, Johnny serves to Jack

Profile, Profile
Don't your head include more than a profile

Profile, Profile
Don't your head include more than a profile

Profile, Profile, Profile, Profile, ooooooh

Profile, Profile, Profile, Profile, ooooooh

Profile, Profile

I ain't that fussy that a bit of second best would cause
a sudden little turn in our affair

Once you've been ushered in, you ought to face the music
and ignore the guiding hand, surely you can

You ain't Whistler's Mother
Or any other art
You ain't seen me lately though we never part

Profile, Profile
Don't your head include more than a profile

Profile, Profile
Don't your head include more than a profile

"Progress"



When the sun goes down and it's a brand new night
New ways of standing out are tried and tried
Bigger and bigger is your appetite
A sense of progress is in the air
I'm an all new design
With an all synthetic spine
I'm a new shade of pink
Get me wet and I won't shrink

You're so young, so alive
You're so 1985
I'm a scratch-free design
Want to try me, I don't mind

I know my heart can't be broken
I know my will, will not crack
I know my dreams are atomic
And I can take any flack
I know it's progress

When the sun goes up and it's a brand new day
Words are invented to describe the way
Colors you never saw before appear
A sense of progress is in the air

I got a new, tougher skin
Got a whiter, brighter grin
And I think you're so sweet
Yeah, you knock me off my feet
But I bounce back, oo-wee
Got a lifetime guarantee

And I love your design
Such a deep long lasting shine
I know it's progress

You're a taste-tempting treat
Preparation, just reheat
Want to test drive for free
You got a great anatomy
I know it's progress.

"Propaganda"



"Hello soldier boy,"
oh boy, shes spewing out her propaganda, propaganda
Might makes right, though you're wrong,
you're right to fight her propaganda, propaganda, propaganda

"Come to our side", she does say
"Come on over", she does say
Well I don't need more
Competition for
Her affection
You should fight on
Fight on
Over there
