Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room lyrics - Cracker

She wore red dresses with her black shining hair
She had my baby and caused me to care
Then coldly she left me to suffer and cry
She wore red dresses and told such sweet lies

I never knew him but he took her away
And on my knees like a madman for vengeance I prayed
While the pain and the anger destroyed my weak mind
She wore red dresses and left the wounded behind

I searched till I found them, then I cursed at the sight
Of their sleeping shadows in the cold neon light
In the dark morning silence I placed the gun to her head
She wore red dresses, but now she lay dead

Ain't Gonna Suck Itself lyrics - Cracker

I say baby, it ain't gonna suck itself
Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
I say baby, it ain't gonna suck itself
What 'chew waiting for? it ain't gonna suck itself

Well I flew out from Virginie on the very first day
I heard my record company exercise my pay to play
Went to see Mr. Lott but his assistant said no
"Security will escort you to the parking lot"

It was 102 degrees I was feeling kind of hot
So I walked across the street for one of those Mexican frozen popsicles
Couldn't buy just one so I bought myself a box
When I come back the assistant she's standing in the parking lot

No hard feelings do you want one of these?
But she looks at me like I was speaking Chinese
The security man walks up he helps himself to one
Coincidently Chinese and hot from standing in the sun

Then he helps himself to another he puts it in her hand
But she looks at it like it was a piece of crap
Or a dead and dying bird she didn't understand
So I was just trying to be helpful when I said...

Baby, it ain't gonna suck itself
Oh Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
I beg to differ cousin, it should be, it ain't gonna lick itself
Ok we'll try it that way It ain't gonna lick itself

Well I'm standing in the parking lot waiting on my ride
His name is Jackson Haring and he's still inside
He went in through mailroom for some record company swag

But this Virgin Records there ain't shit to be had

And the halls they was empty because everyone was laid off
And he took a wrong turn ends up in the tape vault
Only one thing to do when you’re standing face to face
With the Sticky Fingers, Let It Be master tapes

You've got to stick them in the satchel and head on the down the hall
Saying these will go nicely with that Residents eyeball
Many years ago while working for Bill Graham Presents
A prop eyeball was stolen backstage from The Residents

And the rumor went around that Jackson was the thief
But that's neither here nor there and I was sitting in the jeep
Looking at the Sticky Fingers master tapes
My popsicle’s dripping on the seat so I throw it out the window
And it lands at the feet of Roy Lott

Hey Roy, it ain't gonna suck itself
Ah Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
And one time for the ladies, It ain't gonna lick itself
Ah Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself

Baby, it ain't gonna suck itself
Everyone at Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
One for the ladies, it ain't gonna lick itself
What 'chew waitin' for, it ain't gonna suck itself

Mr. Lott, it ain't gonna suck itself
Everyone on Foothill Road, it ain't gonna suck itself
Just so we're not totally sexist, it ain't gonna lick itself
Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself

Brides Of Neptune lyrics - Cracker

She says this is my movie,
so you'll do what I tell you.
There's a mixup in Bali -
you get chased by a monkey.

Brides of Neptune cross the water,
bring us your sons and bring us your daughters.
I won't forsake thee deep in the blue sea;
I'll take you home.

Brides of Neptune cross the water,
bring us your sons and bring us your daughters.
I won't forsake thee deep in the blue sea;
I'll take you home.

I tried dating a mermaid;
she buys pot from the first mate.
That mysterious cargo
is still guarded by monkeys.
Then

Brides of Neptune cross the water,
bring us your sons and bring us your daughters.
I won't forsake thee deep in the blue sea;
I'll take you home.
Brides of Neptune cross the water,
bring us your sons and bring us your daughters.
I won't forsake thee deep in the blue sea;
I'll take you home.

Brides of Neptune cross the water,
bring us your sons and bring us your daughters.
I won't forsake thee deep in the blue sea;
I'll take you home.
Brides of Neptune cross the water,
bring us your sons and bring us your daughters.
I won't forsake thee deep in the blue sea;
I'll take you home.

Brides of Neptune
Brides of Neptune
Brides of Neptune
Guarded by monkeys..

Shine lyrics - Cracker

You could never be
What you wanted to be
'Cause sweetheart it takes time
Someday you're gonna shine
You'll see

You'll be a Russian acrobat
You'll be like Burt Bacharach
You come to the party, you say "What's new pussycat?"
Someday you're gonna shine
You'll see

Don't wanna talk about it
You come around to tell it
You're beautiful can't you see?
Someday you're gonna shine
You'll see

(Someday you're gonna shine)
(Someday you're gonna shine)

Someday you're gonna shine

Someday you're gonna shine (aaah)
Someday you're gonna shine

Someday you're gonna shine (you're gonna) (aaah)
Someday you're gonna shine

Someday you're gonna shine (aaah)
Yeah someday you're gonna shine (you're gonna shine)

Don't Bring Us Down lyrics - Cracker

God gave you life
So get out of mine
And take your sorry ass
Back to Florida

You're not welcome here
Ain't it perfectly clear
Take your sorry ass
Back to Florida

[Chorus:]
You bring us down
Don't come around
You bring us down
You bring us down

[Repeat chorus]

You live a charmed life
But nothing seems right to you
Roses and wine
Thorns and vinegar

Your only delight
Is other's demise
So take your sorry ass
Back to Florida

[Repeat chorus x6]

Guarded By Monkeys lyrics - Cracker

You are so beautiful
You should be hid deep in the jungle
On some forgotten island

I heard about you
I got your PGP key
I write you letters every day

[CHORUS:]
You are so beautiful
You should be guarded by monkeys
You are so beautiful

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I have invented
51 daylights
This does not seem to impress you

You are so beautiful
Sublime and classified
I can't stop thinking about you

[REPEAT CHORUS X2]

[REPEAT CHORUS]

You are so beautiful
You should be hid deep in the jungle
You are so beautiful

[REPEAT CHORUS X2]

You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful

A visit to her granny, took her nightclub clothes

A-we've been shut down
Pushed and messed around on
So Mariposa what you think

The ash-tray was filled with Philly blunt cigars
Ain't that strange, yeah, yeah

Miss Santa Cruz County lyrics - Cracker

So let's all be someone else
I'm tired of being myself
Let's all be someone else

You could be someone else
I know you're tired of yourself
You say you're so bored you could cry
Well let me tell you, so am I

Well, Lola came from Mesilla
She sometimes called herself Anita ([background shout:] Bebidas)
But no-one ever knew why
But things just seemed to work out right, right, right

So let's all be someone else (do do do doo do do do)
I'm tired of being myself (do do do doo do do do)
Let's all be someone else

The blue ladies rode the bikes
And what they were, we assumed rhymed with bikes
But them one day one did not get out of bed
She was dead, and a guy, that's what the paramedic said

So let's all be someone else (do do do doo do do do)
I'm tired of being myself (do do do doo do do do)
Let's all be someone else

So come on down Miss Santa Cruz County
Won't you come on down from you daddy's hydroponic farm?
'Cause there's no shame in being seen as the Artichoke Festival Queen
You know we like what you've become
You know we like what you've become

So let's all be someone else (do do do doo do do do)
I'm tired of being myself (do do do doo do do do)
So let's all be someone else

So let's all be someone else (do do do doo do do do)
I'm tired of being myself (do do do doo do do do)
Let's all be someone else
Let's all be someone else

So let's all be someone else (do do do doo do do do)
I'm tired of being myself (do do do doo do do do)
So let's all be someone else

Let's all be someone else
Let's all be someone else
Let's all be someone else
Let's all be someone else
Someone else

Superfan lyrics - Cracker

[SECTION 1:]
I heard the words, now here I am
You were talking to me, I'm your super fan
I loved you then, I love you still
But if I can't have you, no-one will

Woah!

[REPEAT SECTION 1]

[SECTION 2:]
I will make you understand
I'm your super fan

[SECTION 3:]
I know you like it
I was watching from outside my love
I saw her leaving
She's not right for you my life, my love
I know what hurts you
Sing it to me again my life, my love
I know what hurts you
...I could hurt you

I'll track you down, I'll steal your mail
A lock of hair, some fingernails
A piece of you upon my shrine
Now you're with me all the time

[REPEAT SECTION 2]

[REPEAT SECTION 3]

If I can't have you, no-one will
If I can't have you, no-one will
If I can't have you, no-one will
If I can't have you, no-one will
No-one will
No-one will
No-one will
No-one will
No-one will
No-one will
No-one will
No-one will

Sweet Magdalena Of My Misfortune lyrics - Cracker

I have lost the one I love to someone else
She lies beside me, but she's not here, she's far away
She's WALKING softly, she's talking sweetly about a dream
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where ARE YOU NOW?

Things I lost, left behind, or threw away
They gather in the dusky light of reverie
Always with me, where I go, sweet company, or is it misery?
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where have you gone?
So many ways to go and lay your burdens down
Yeah, so many hours from now to the dawn
Yeah, so many words I never found to make you stay just one more day

Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where have you gone?
Yeah, ooh
Yeah, so many words I never found to make you stay FOR just one more day
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where are you now?
Yeah, sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where are you now?

Merry Christmas Emily lyrics - Cracker

Merry Christmas Emily
Merry Christmas Emily

Emily was twenty three
Sitting on the ground
Under a dead palm tree
6th and Speedway
On Christmas day
Seemed like things were gonna go my way

But we had some good times
Drinking cheap wine and popping pills
Spending the holidays
Getting drunk at the rusty nail

Emily from a good family
They fucked your head
And sent you to me

'It's a Wonderful Life'
Is playing on TV
I still think about you
Do you think about me

(Merry Christmas Emily)
(Merry Christmas Emily)
I still think about you do you still thing about me
(Merry Christmas Emily)
(Merry Christmas Emily)
Merry Christmas Emily

It may have seemed
like i was down and out
But my insurance claim
Was still paying out
You were heading back up
While I was going down
So I reformed the band
To try to keep you around

Then we had some bad times
Drinking wine in the summer heat
A couple loud arguments
Standing in the middle of Congress St.
So there's Emily
Under the dead palm tree
Its Christmas day
And its like 80 degrees
I still think about you
Do you still think about me

(Merry Christmas Emily)
(Merry Christmas Emily)
I still think about you
(Merry Christmas Emily)
(Merry Christmas Emily)
Merry Christmas Emily

(Merry Christmas Emily)
(Merry Christmas Emily)
(Merry Christmas Emily)
I still think about you do you still think about me
(Merry Christmas Emily)
Merry Christmas Emily

(Merry Christmas Emily)
(Merry Christmas Emily)
(Merry Christmas Emily)
(Merry Christmas Emily)

Forever lyrics - Cracker

Movie stars
And magazines
Life is good
Grass is green
Come ride with me
Down 62
'Cause all I want
Is to be with you
Past rusted out
Faded towns
Little places
Broken down
Life is good
When I'm with you
I don't need
Anything.

I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
Now and forever, forever

Crystalline
Those perfect dreams
Its all wide open
At seventeen
Start again
Me and you
A simple life
On Route 62
Rusted out
Broken down
Little places
Falling down
Life is good
Or so it seems
I don't need
Anything.

I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
Now and forever, forever

I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
I just wanna live like this now and forever
Now and forever, forever

Shameless lyrics - Cracker

You're so shameless
Sweet thing please don't bring us down
You're so shameless
But what goes it comes around

And on a trip to Mexico
Never knew that it could snow
We shared a bed like days gone by
The mistresses all knew your name
The minister started acting strange

Shameless
Don't really wanna know what's going on
You're so shameless
Sweet thing please don't bring us down

And on a trip to Yellow Knife
Professor Panos and his wife
Secret dealings at the Quebec bar

With an arctic wilderness guide
Says he was a retired Canadian spy

Shameless
Sweet thing please don't bring us down (hm-hm, no-no)
You're so shameless
Don't really wanna know what's going on (hm-hm-hm)

You're so shameless
But what goes it comes around
Yeah you're so shameless (shameless)
Yeah you're so shameless (shameless)

You're so shameless (yeah yeah shameless)
You're so shameless
You're so shameless (you should be guarded by monkeys)
You're so shameless (you should be guarded by monkeys)

One Fine Day lyrics - Cracker

This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

And all you liars come out
And all you thieves you walk out
Come into the light of one fine day

These crippled legs will walk again
One fine day
This broken heart will love again
One fine day

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

And all you liars come out
And all you whores you walk out
Come into the light of one fine day

This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

And all you liars come out
And all you whores you walk out
Come into the light of one fine day
Yeah come into the light of one fine day
Come into the light of one fine day
Come into the light of one fine day
