Lyrics

1. 1880 OR SO

Oh rose of my heart, can't you see
I don't belong to misery
Though she speaks fine with subtle art
Such misery clothes the rose of my heart

Now what I see in the long twilight
A star falls down on a hill so white
On a hill so white

A face that glows in a golden hue
No-one in this world knows what they do
I take my oath and I make my vow
For the tender things are upon me now

In the fragrance sweet of the evening air
I could leave this world quite without a care

Oh rose of my heart, the vision dims
the time is brief, now the shadow swims
A powerful a real fine hat
Cause that's for you and that's where that's at

Now what I see in the long twilight
A star falls down on a hill so white

Oh rose of my heart
Oh rose of my heart
Oh rose of my heart


2. SHANE, WE WROTE THIS

Shane
I want to know

Sisters rejoice in a B-minor chord
With wildly impassioned delight
Rapture is mine now as I behold

All turning holy and bright
So bright

She gives me all the love
Why do I not hear my name
She gives me all the love
Maybe I don't understand.

Shane
I want to know

By light celestial
Sweet burning sweet burning sweet
Blest now am I to be taken alive
A wonder complete
Complete

She gives me all the love
Why do I not hear my name
She gives me all the love
Maybe I don't understand.
Shane

Sisters
With wildly impassioned delight
Rapture is mine now as I behold
All turning holy and bright
So bright

She gives me all the love
Why do I not hear my name
She gives me all the love
Maybe I don't understand

Shane
I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
I want to know


3. IN WORLD

I could just sort of not be there
Know what I mean, not be anywhere
Wa-hoo
Wa-hoo

Crawl out a cage jump through a hoop
Oh my gosh I'm living in a loop
Wa-hoo
Wa-hoo
Empty on my bed
Head In my world, come and go
What I want I just don't know
In my world

Sipping mint juleps out on the porch
For you my darling I'll always hold a torch
Wa-hoo
Wa-hoo

Funny face on my cup
Watch my bubbling up
In my world, come and go
What I want I just don't know
In my world, come and go
Seal my fate, ask my soul
In my world.

Such infatuation so great
I could just go jump in the lake
Wa-hoo
Wa-hoo

In my world, come and go
What I want I just don't know
In my world, come and go
Seal my fate, ask my soul
In my world, come and go
What I want I just don't know
In my world


4. CALL MR LEE

We did good on an inside job
But now I'm down to wait
No I can't get out
But you could get across with ease
Dial 45, 41, oh oh oh
Call Mr Lee,
He'll know the code is broken
Tell him the dog is turning red
Call Mr Lee

Just one little trip
And you're sweet for life
Help me out
You know you can't be seen
You could get across with ease
Dial 45, 41, oh oh oh
Call Mr Lee
He'll know the code is broken
Tell him the dog is turning red
Turning red
Call Mr Lee
Call Mr Lee

I move inside
The heat is wild
Paint the windows black
It's drip-dry time
But you could get across with ease
Dial 45, 41, oh oh oh
Call Mr Lee
He'll know the code is broken
Tell him the dog is turning red
Turning red
Call Mr Lee
Tell him the dog is turning red

Call Mr Lee
Call Mr Lee
Call Mr Lee


5. RHYME

Lonely man
In a lonely town
Key words: overseas factor
Heavy duty
Love you baby
Now I'm ready
I'm ready for the duty
Love is calling upon us to perform
And as I take in your sweet perfume
Love is waiting, love
Overseas factor
Heavy duty
I wonder if we're gonna vibrate close
You know
I mean

Will our vibrations, our vibrations, be close
Like a couple of words
You know how they make a rhyme

Love you baby, love
Love you baby, love
That old blue dress
It's about wore out
But you look so good and happy
I could just
I could scream and shout

Love you baby, love
Overseas factor
Heavy duty
Heavy duty
Love baby
Key words
Lonely man lonely town
Love
I could feel
I could feel
I could feel it
Feel it

Love
Love you so
Love you so


6. NO GLAMOUR FOR WILL

Will told me
I have some wishes, you could say
Sometimes I think to wish them all the way
Don't get me wrong, Sweetheart
I think this world is grand
But certain things just don't pay

No glamour for Will
She says that's fine
It's not her way
It's not her line
No glamour for Will
She says that's fine
So fine
So fine
So fine

I think to buy her something cool
She says: "don't spend your cash on all that trash”
Don't be a fool
My preferences, my dear
Are mostly half price
A four-leaf clover
Might be nice

No glamour for Will
She says that's fine
It's not her way
It's not her line
No glamour for Will
She's so fine
So fine
So fine
So fine

Will be my love

No glamour for Will
She says that's fine
It's not her way
It's not her line

No glamour for Will
She says that's fine
So fine
So fine
So fine

No glamour for Will
She says that's fine
It's not her way
It's not her line
No glamour for Will
She says that's fine
So fine
So fine
So fine


7. BEAUTY TRIP

De Soto
Has a cool shark fin
My humble abode
Hey, where I've been
Poochie, poochie
No, no applause
Four enchiladas, senor
Extra sauce

Just one face card and one ace
Put my game back in place
Crystal honey, where you been
Turn a corner and my heart just goes boom-boom
Boom-boom
Boom-boom
Boom-boom

I know it's stupid
But what care I
I got wheels that slide
Where you got a mind
You pink and blue
Shiny vinyl hardware
And white socks too

Just one face card and one ace
Put my game back in place
Crystal honey, baby where you been
Turn a corner and my heart just goes boom-boom
Boom-boom
Boom-boom
Boom-boom

Long before my time
And after too
This magnificent love
Me for you
They say it's folly
To pay and pay
And you're no good
I guess I like it that way

Just one face card and one ace
Put my game back in place
Crystal honey, baby where you been
Turn a corner and my heart just goes boom-boom
Crystal, hey where you been
Boom-boom
Boom-boom
Just one face card and one ace
Put my game back in place
Crystal honey, baby where you been
Turn a corner and my heart just goes boom-boom
Boom-boom
Boom-boom
Boom-boom

9. THIS TUNE

She bought a wig
It was all scrunched up
Then she put it right on my shoe
You're a crocodile
That's what you are
With a crooked smile
That I like so much
You know I just can't think
No I just can't think
But I like the things we do

My partner in dismay
You don't have to feel this way
Maybe she will walk out on this tune
This tune
This tune

No doubt one night the statues start to walk
And maybe talk a little too
We could run right out
And paint them green and gold

My partner in dismay
Don’t like to feel this way
Maybe she'll walk out on this tune
This tune
This tune

Magic, just last night
In a dream of course
So sweet, you touched my knee
I can't tell you know how good that felt

My partner in dismay
Don't like to feel this way
Maybe she'll walk out on this tune
This tune
This tune
My partner in dismay
Don't like to feel this way
Maybe she'll walk out on this tune
This tune
This tune


10. MARS

Guess I need some education
Grab some whilst I have the chance to free
Twice upon a time hear yeah hear yeah hear yeah
Plastic bow wow no can't remember, can't remember, no
In my arms she's warm and smooth
All the bones in heaven will
I'm just a dipstick yes I like that frying but
That cop, that cop, hey, that cop's from Mars
That cop's from Mars
Mars
Mars

Fried bones, in the air, who knows, it might be right
Fried bones, everywhere
Hot bones, made of light

I'm just a dipstick searching for truth

Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling time again time again
Must have some coffee, let's have some caw-fee
I die a couple times for you
I die a couple times a night for you
