Shake Some Action lyrics - Cracker

(originally by Flamin' Groovies)

I will find a way
To get to you someday
Cause I am so afraid I'd fall
Can't you hear me call

Shake some action is what I need
To make me bust out at full speed
and I am sure that's all you'll need
to make it alright

It's take me so long
to get to where I belong
Lord don't make me send it back that way
Or I will make you pay

Shake some action is what I need
To make me bust out at full speed
and I am sure that's all you'll need
to make it alright

You don't dig what I'm playing
Then I will go away
And I will turn around this little game
Cause I don't need your praise

Around The World lyrics - Cracker

Well is it such a sin to linger with the magazines
I want a chocolate bar or maybe something sweet
I want a stranger with your face
So I followed her to this place
It's been so long
I've been around the world

I say hello to howie
Say hello to spike
'cause the canals in camden are filled with bottles tonight
To watch the ripples fade away
To feel the rain upon my head
So I could say, I've been around the world

And how I wish I was in your apartment tonight
To hear the rain come down, down upon your roof
To see your clothes beside, clothes beside your bed
To lie and listen to your breath
Instead, I've been, I've been around the world

And how I wish I was in your bed tonight
To taste the salt upon, salt upon your neck
To feel your body press, pressing down on me
Instead of being, I've been around the world

Yeah I've been around,
I've been around the world
Yeah I've been around,
I've been around the world

Be My Love lyrics - Cracker

I dream a white bright light
In endless fevered night
A birdwing brush across my back, you say to me
You could be my love

The green Sargasso Sea
You're lying next to me
You could be my love, you could be my love

I dream of starfish bright
Or horses in the sea
They sparkle back at me and you say
What you waiting for?

The madness to set in
The orchestra begins
Well you could be my love, you could be my love (you could be my love)

Across the shining seas
you're caried on the breeze
The fiddler starts his tune, the sirens sing [?]
You could be my love

You could be my love
You could be my love
You could be my love,
You could be my love

You could be my love
You could be my love
You could be my love,
You could be my love

You could be my love
You could be my love
You could be my love,
You could be my love

Heaven Knows I'm Lonely Now lyrics - Cracker

Wake up Miss Maria I think that she been off
From falling off at Boston you're walking up a couple o' blocks
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now

I'm kissin' ass on Monday, just want someone to hear my song
It's lonely at the bottom, that's why there's no-one hangin' around
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now

Don't wake up Miss Christina 'cause she and I don't see eye to eye
Something 'bout some money, some night we spent together, oh my
Well heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now

Wake up Miss Maria 'cause I think she's been sleepin' it off
From falling off a bar stool, 'cause man you know that's lots o' hard work
Well heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now
Yeah heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now

(heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now)
(heaven knows I'm lonely, heaven knows I'm lonely now)

The Eyes Of Mary lyrics - Cracker

You were born
With it inside
A secret twin in your wounded side
Bits of hair
Teeth and string
And yellow flowers

Open up
Let it all in
Let the strange parade begin
A piece of pie
A piece of cake
For every sister

Let the eyes of mary
Carry you away now
Let the eyes of mary
Carry you away now

A baby born
It's made of leaves

And carried round the maypole tree
By irish girls
With jet black hair
And dark brown freckles

Let me bring
You bits of string
Tired and worn and sagging things
Under the weight
Of old crows feet
And the seasons

Let the eyes of mary
Carry you away now
Let the eyes of mary
Carry you away now
Let the brides of jesus
Carry you away now
Let the brides of jesus
Carry you away now.
Away now
Away

The Golden Age (Live) lyrics - Cracker

This is the Golden Age
It's hard to imagine
With the way I feel today
That this is the Golden Age
The Golden Age

Somewhere I failed
Somewhere I lost you
In a black crowd of crows
And shiny things
I can't remember

This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age
The Golden Age

It seems like I'm high
But baby I'm crawling
In the unbearable days
I threw away
But I should have savored
The flaxen light
Off of the dying wheat
Your rye whiskey mouth
And your dandelion teeth

This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age

You Ain't Going Nowhere lyrics - Cracker (feat. Adam Duritz & Joan Osborne)

(originally by Bob Dylan)

Clouds so swift
Rain won't lift
Gate won't close
Railings froze
Get your mind of wintertime
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair

I don't care
How many letters they sent
Morning came and morning went
Pick up your money
And pack up your tent
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair

Buy me a flute
And a gun that shoots
Tailgates some substitutes
Strap yourself
To the tree with roots
You ain't goin' nowhere
Whoo-ee ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair !Genghis Khan
He could not keep
All his kings
Supplied with sleep
We'll climb that hill no matter how steep
When we come up to it
Whoo-ee ride me high
Tomorrow's the day
My bride's gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair

Hollywood Cemetery lyrics - Cracker

I left my baby,
I left her down in hollywood cemetery
Weren't a cloud in the sky,
but how I wish it was raining

well I know it was wrong
to feel love like a burden
but if we all were angels heaven would be earth
so I left my baby,
I left her down in hollywood cemetery.

She got her petees? and coffee,
while the band plays a funeral dirge
In new orleans mardi gras,
but I'm sick as a dog, here in texas

When the one that you love's
in the arms of another man
You've got to rise above it,
and let her go
Leave your baby down,
leave her down at hollywood cemetery

Whole Lotta Trouble lyrics - Cracker

There's no happy everafter
here we're just trying to survive.

Whole lotta trouble, baby.
Whole lotta trouble, baby.
Whole lotta trouble, in this life.

Work and you could have your money,
but that don't guarantee you're right.

Whole lotta trouble, baby.
Whole lotta trouble, baby.
Whole lotta trouble, in this life.

And the morning sun comes up.
And the evening sun goes down.
You think that I could make a life
when everything keeps dying
in this cold dark town.

Some folks just think you're starting over.
They take a lifetime to decide.

Whole lotta trouble, baby.
Whole lotta trouble, baby.
Whole lotta trouble, in this life.

Mr. Wrong (Live) lyrics - Cracker

Well, meet me by the river that goes nowhere
Let me lay my sorry trip on you
Won't you meet me by the river, little darling?
I might just let you see my bad tattoo

Well I was gonna bring you flowers, but I didn't
It's the thought that counts and I think I'm a bit too broke
But there's some change in my ashtray
Maybe just enough to pay
For a half pint of somethin' probably make us choke

Well, no I'd rather not go and meet your family
They'd probably send me back where I belong
Don't want to hear about your Mr. Right
'Cause he's out of town tonight
Baby come and spend some time with Mr. Wrong

I drive a one-eyed Malibu without a muffler
And a tape deck that works if you kick it hard enough
Baby if you'd like to read, I got some great pornography
And a ten pound flashlight rolling in the trunk

Well, no I'd rather not go and meet your family
They'd probably send me back where I belong
Don't want to hear about your Mr. Right
'Cause he's out of town tonight
Baby come and spend some time with Mr. Wrong

Now, do you have a girlfriend and does she look as good as you?
Hey, would she like to meet my brother?
He'll be out of jail in a month or two

Well, no I'd rather not go and meet your family
They'd probably send me back where I belong
Don't want to hear about your Mr. Right
'Cause he's out of town tonight
Baby come and spend some time with Mr. Wrong
Where I come from they call me Mr. Wrong

Sunday Train lyrics - Cracker

You can place your faith
in God my friend,
but no one knows his plan.
You can place your faith
in your brother,
but he may fail you.

So I am waiting for
that Sunday Train.
Place my faith in
southern line.
She may not be on time
but she will come.

She once was a proud one.
Stretched from sea
to shinning sea.
She may not take you everywhere
you want to go. But where you
need to be she'll agree.

So rest you'll weary legs,
they carried you all this way.
And climb aboard that Sunday train
when she comes.

When god banished Lilith
from the garden,
he gave us Eve
he gave us steam.
So trains climb
up every mountain
but never have they
or set me free.

So if your heart is weary
and soul is like mine.
Climb aboard that Sunday train
when she comes.

Lonesome Johnny Blues (Live) lyrics - Cracker

Well, lucky number seven passed me by
Lucky number seven called my name and passed on by
Well he came back don't you know
With his brother six in tow
And that is how number thirteen wound up by my side.

And that is how I got these lonesome johnny blues
How I got these lonesome johnny blues
Got the lonesome johnny blues
And there's nothing I can do
'cept sing these sad old weary lonesome johnny blues

Here we go

Grim reaper he pulled up into my drive
Grim reaper pulled his little old Chevrolet right up onto the goddamn drive
"johnny, I haven't come for you
But I want someone who's dear to you
And the price you pay is to remain alive"

And I'll stay here with these lonesome johnny blues
Stay here with these lonesome johnny blues
With the lonesome johnny blues
And there's nothing I can do
'cept sing these sad old weary lonesome johnny blues

Woah, no more trouble send him down the road, won't you please.
No more trouble won't you beat him up, won't you send him down the road
Trouble dumped out the trash
Ransacked the place for cash
And he wound up taking much more than I own

And he left me with these lonesome johnny blues
Left me with these lonesome johnny blues
With the lonesome johnny blues
And there's nothing I can do
'cept sing these sad old weary lonesome johnny blues

Johnny blues
The sad old weary lonesome johnny blues
Johnny blues
The sad old weary lonesome johnny blues

Rainy Days And Mondays lyrics - Cracker

(originally by Carpenters)

Talking to myself and feeling old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hanging around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothing is really wrong
Feeling like I don't belong
Walking around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me (the one who loves me)

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out (to talk it out)
We know what it's all about
Hanging around (hanging around)
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do (only thing to do)
Run and find the one who loves me

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out (to talk it out)
We know what it's all about
Hanging around (hanging around)
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Hanging around (hanging around)
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

China lyrics - Cracker

Ah Miss Mary won't you please come home from China.
Bring a bottle of whiskey and a tin cup for your teeth.
Don't you sneak into the back door wearing some disguise.
Knock on the front door in view of the Temperance Guild.

Ah Miss Mary won't you please come home cause I miss ya.
Your old spinster sister don't always give good advice.
Look at her she's in love with that drunken bandy-legged sheriff.
He'll unzip her pantsuit, but never leave his fat wife

[CHORUS:]
Ah Miss Mary won't you please come home from China.
Come home from China.
Come home from China.

[CHORUS]

Now that fake old beatnik poet the volunteer fireman.
He don't care if you come, he don't like I do.
He's in love with his dog and all his volunteer fireman.
And he is afraid to let the end of his versus rhyme.

[CHORUS X2]

"Gentleman's Blues" (1998)

The Good Life lyrics - Cracker

This holy circus camp
Aladdin and his lamp
A feverish daydreams and suerte loca
My face in magazines
The lesbian James Dean
I got all I ever wanted

So I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me

Well I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me

Down miles of empty road
With acolytes in tow
You could be Persephone
A pigeon through the glass
A drunken trapeze act

Well you got all you ever wanted
So I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me

Well I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me

Well I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me

Well I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me

Well I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me

Well I don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me

Seven Days lyrics - Cracker

So we were standing, like the last rock band on the planet
Of vapor trails and alpine skies
It's all green fields, yellow flowers, and brown liquor
Oh brown liquor

Bug's got a job in the Catskills
Met some fraulein along the way
Took her home, but then she had an episode
Though it did disturb him, he was strangely compelled

Seven days when I've been waiting
Seven days and seven nights
Seven days when I've been dreaming
Of the real thing
Of the real thing

So we were standing around, fading in and out of fashion
While Amerikids dug Eurobeats
Well we know all of the doormen and other bartendresses
And there ain't nothing that you got that we don't need
Did I say that right?

Seven days when I've been waiting
Seven days and seven nights
Seven days when I've been dreaming
Of the real thing
Of the real thing

Seven days when I've been waiting
Seven days and seven nights
Seven days when I've been dreaming
Of the real thing
Of the real thing

Seven days when I've been waiting
Seven days and seven nights
Seven days when I've been dreaming
Of the real thing
Of the real thing
Of the real thing
Of the real thing
Of the real thing
Of the real thing

Star lyrics - Cracker

Gonna make you a star
And show the world your green, green eyes
See your smiling face
Everywhere, everyplace

We could turn it upside down
We could turn it inside out
We'll give you everything
Things that you'd never need,
Things that you'd never dream
Things like eternity
Gonna make you a star

Make you a star
Make you a star

Gonna make you a star
You stare down at the emptiness
You shake us from our poisonous
Slumbering and stuttering
So start and stop the fall
Coarse masses down the hall
Blow you through the door
Into a million bits
We'll reassemble it
That's how we'll make a hit
Gonna make you a star

Make you a star
Make you a star
Make you a star
Make you a star
Star
Star
Star
Star
Star
Star
Star
Star
Star
Star

James River lyrics - Cracker

You come across the James River
For a needle and a spoon
Would you come across the James River
To be my woman again
To be my woman again

You come across the old lee bridge
For a dollar fifty in change
Would you come across the James River
For this heart of gold
For this heart of gold

You go and work for Ms. Kitty
For a decent rate of pay
Would you come across the James (River)
To be my woman again
To be my woman again

You keep a pistol in your left boot
A brush and comb in your purse
Would you come across the James (River)
To be my woman again
To be my woman again

My Life Is Totally Boring Without You lyrics - Cracker

My life is totally boring without you around
These days, they fade to another
I want you around
So I'd like to say
That I'm better off
I'm happier this way

But my life is totally empty without you around
Well my life is totally boring without you

Well I fell, but you fell much farther
I was envious
Around here, everyone loves you
Cause you are insane
So we started a band
Owe it all to our fans
Went somewhere near the top

My life is totally empty without you around
Yeah my life is totally boring without you

My life is totally boring without you around
These days, they fade to another
I want you around
So I'd like to say
That I'm better off
I'm happier this way

My life is totally empty without you around
Yeah my life is totally boring without you around

My life is totally empty without you around
Yeah my life is totally boring without you

Been Around The World lyrics - Cracker

Well is it such a sin to linger with the magazines
I want a chocolate bar or maybe something sweet
I want a stranger with your face
So I followed her to this place
It's been so long
I've been around the world

I say hello to howie
Say hello to spike
'cause the canals in camden are filled with bottles tonight
To watch the ripples fade away
To feel the rain upon my head
So I could say, I've been around the world

And how I wish I was in your apartment tonight
To hear the rain come down, down upon your roof
To see your clothes beside, clothes beside your bed
To lie and listen to your breath
Instead, I've been, I've been around the world

And how I wish I was in your bed tonight
To taste the salt upon, salt upon your neck
To feel your body press, pressing down on me
Instead of being, I've been around the world

Yeah I've been around,
I've been around the world
Yeah I've been around,
I've been around the world

The World Is Mine lyrics - Cracker

Well we went to the station
They were looking for vegas
But I was stuck in my Beat phase
Like it was 1959

They say the girls wanna hip-shake
They say the boys wanna ball-break
But we couldn't be bothered
Cause we're hipper than y'all

And everyday I resolve to say
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine

So will you give me salvation
Or a standing ovation
Cause I really deserve it
And so much more

The big kid in the magazines
You and me, we went to make the scene
But get your name, man
And tomorrow you'll be gone

So everyday I resolve to say
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine

But everyday I resolve to say
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine

The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine

Lullabye lyrics - Cracker

Only when I laugh, does it hurt
The doctor says, please, son, remove your skirt
I'd be glad to comply, but I'm not wearing one
The doctor says, that's strange, nor am I

A scotsman throws a pole into the air
The alderman all vote in some affair
The mayor, he abstained, and ain't that strange
He's still a bachelor, perhaps he's gay

A corpse is laid out neatly on a slab
Professor's working madly in his lab
The assistant files her nails and checks her hair
There's just a hint of danger in the air

There's just a hint of danger in the air
No one is alarmed nor seems to care
Everyone is happy, we're all fine
We all fall in love all the time

Yeah, we all fall in love or from a plane
With the stewardess, she serves us in our dreams
When we wake, we find that it has rained
When it rains, it lulls us back to sleep

So rest your weary eyes and go to sleep
Or rest your weary head and come to me
Move your lips and sing this lullabye
Move your lips and sing this lullabye

Lullabye
Lullabye
Lullabye
Lullabye
Lullabye
Lullabye
Lullabye
Lullabye

Lullabye
Lullabye
[Fade out]

Waiting For You Girl lyrics - Cracker

I'm living up near Fresno
Just up Highway 99
Won't you come and pay a visit
I'm here all the time

I'm still here waiting
Waiting for you girl
I'm still waiting
Waiting for you girl

I could wander up to Phoenix
Get a good construction job
If the sunstroke, it don't kill me
the meth amphetamine will

But I'll still be waiting
Waiting for you girl
I'll still be waiting
Waiting for you girl

I'm still waiting (I'm still waiting)
I'm still waiting
(I'm still) Waiting for you girl

I'm still waiting (I'm still waiting)
I'm still waiting
(I'm still) Waiting for you girl

This once was an ocean
Or should I say an ocean floor
It should all be a desert
And it shall be once more

But I'll still be waiting
Waiting for you girl
Yeah, I'll be here waiting
Waiting for you girl

I'm still waiting (I'm still waiting)
I'm still waiting
(I'm still) Waiting for you girl

I'm still waiting (I'm still waiting)
I'm still waiting
(I'm still) Waiting for you girl

I'm still waiting (I'm still waiting)
I'm still waiting
(I'm still) Waiting for you girl

Trials & Tribulations lyrics - Cracker

When your only girl betrayed you, boy
What did you do with your wisdom
Well you loved that girl again, loved that girl again
Now who you got to blame for your trials and tribulations

What did you do when you found the man
The one who stole your good girl
Well you cut him up and down, heard you cut him all around
Now who you got to blame for your trials and tribulations

Well I tried to tell you
But you run and hide
Down by the riverbed
Stay drunk all night
It weren't no lady
With scorpion
Well, you're just another rabbit on the run

When they dragged you to the courthouse, boy
What did you do with your wisdom
Well you cursed the judge again, cursed the judge again
Who you gonna blame for your trials and tribulations
Well I tried to tell you
But you run and hide
Down by the trestle bridge
With a .45
It weren't no lady
No, with scorpion
Well, you're just another rabbit on the run
You're just another rabbit on the run
You're just another rabbit on the run

Wild One lyrics - Cracker

You're a wild one
Well I was once like you
They couldn't tame you
Kicked you out of the zoo

Drank all of that soda pop
Red candy on your chin
I gave you something to slow you down
Just sped you up instead

You're a wild one
A wild one
You're a wild one
A wild one

You're a wild one
Were you raised by wolves?
Learned their dark secrets
Under the light of the moon?

That's when the bum matron comes
To lock you in your chair
So scream along at the top of your lungs
Shout and shake your hair

Cause you're a wild one
A wild one
You're a wild one
A wild one
You're a wild one
A wild one
You're a wild one
A wild one

You're a wild one
You're a wild one
You're a wild one
You're a wild one
You're a wild one
You're a wild one

You're a wild one
You're a wild one
You're a wild one
You're a wild one
You're a wild one
You're a wild one
You're a wild one
You're a wild one
You're a wild one

Hold Of Myself lyrics - Cracker

Hold of myself
Just trying to get a hold of myself
Scaring my friends, just trying to get a hold of myself

Sabotage all I set out to do
I can't imagine how that looks to you
Just don't go away, just trying to get a hold of myself

Got me a dog, I think it's time I got me a dog
To be my little pal, I think it's time I got me a dog
Last one I had got hit by a car
Kept right on going and I took it real hard
Now it's time to move on, I think its time I got me a dog

Ah, oh, oh oh oh
Ah, oh, oh oh oh
Ah, oh, oh oh oh

Fork in the road, I think we're coming to a fork in the road
Take it from me, I know we're coming to a fork in the road
I miss the days when you could laugh at yourself
You rip my heart out when you don't want my help
Take it from me, we're coming to a fork in the road

Hold of myself, just trying to get a hold of myself

Gentleman's Blues lyrics - Cracker

Where are my God's green grasses?
Yellow blue fishes of the sea
Where are you, my sweet darling?
My sweet darling, I'll drown in misery

And on the golden days of summer
Robbed from Pharoah's ancient tombs
And the silver hours, they are mashed and sour
My sweet darling, where have you gone?

Past the dead and awkward factory
Anthracite grey on cobblestone
And the sooted flowers, on gentleman's towers
My sweet darling, where have you gone?

I Want Out Of The Circus lyrics - Cracker

Now I, I want out of the circus
Since the girl in the blue sparkly dress
On one knee, I confessed
Put an end to that exchange of glances

Now I, I want out of the circus
That old gang of dwarves
Sometimes, they're downright feral
When they, they've been around that old beer barrel

The old lion's teeth
Seems like a smile to me
With some sweet relief
I just stick my head in

Now my tale, it's too ordinary
For anyone to care at all
Not like the man repeatedly struck by lightning
When he bears his scars, we all know

When he bears his scars, he's a star

Wedding Day lyrics - Cracker

The devil will send demons to fly around your wedding day
Yeah, the devil will send demons to fly around your wedding day
Don't send no invitation, I don't have much to say

Well, I heard about your man, and I will laugh at him sometime
Yeah, I heard about your man, and I will laugh at him sometime
Cuz I can see his sad day coming when your lies will burn him blind

Well, I'm standing in the churchyard, standing here without a sound
Yeah, I'm standing in the churchyard, standing here without a sound
Wishing I'd been born the kind of man could go in and shoot you down

The devil will send demons to fly around your wedding day
Yeah, the devil will send demons to fly around your wedding day
Well they'll strike you down at midnight, and a-carry me away

Hallelujah lyrics - Cracker

We sang Hallelujah, has it stopped raining?
Though the priest had stopped believing a long ago
And his companion began to a laugh at the irony o' that
And we walked along in an uncomfortable silence

Yeah Ha-ha-hallelujah
Ha-ha-hallelujah

St. Patrick led the sailor into the wasteland
A herd of swine surrounded them one day
It was the answer to their prayers, a sure sign that God, He cared
But McCarthy disagreed, "It's not that simple"

So Hallelujah
Hallelujah

The fisherman, he rode the city's river
The dirty water rose through sorry planks
And the vandal Moranjou 'pon Gay Street heard the news
They commissioned him to rise up from the cobbles

Yeah Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Cinderella lyrics - Cracker

I left my Cinderella at the payphone, with a pocket full of dimes
I get the feeling she's still researching, gonna leave me behind
When she comes to see me
When she comes

[Chorus:]
My Cinderella, gone in a day
Maybe it's better having her stay
Bullets and breakdowns,
Raindrops like lead,
My Cinderella, My Cinderella...

My days are numbered, I'm feathered and plundered (I can't say that I mind)
It might have been time.
But when she comes to see me, when she comes...

[Chorus]

(oooh) my Cinder- my Cinder- my Cinderella
(oooh) my my my my my my my my my

When she comes
When she comes

[Chorus (ad libbed)]

I Hate My Generation lyrics - Cracker

I'm A Little Rocket Ship lyrics - Cracker

I'm a little rocket ship
I'll take you on a little trip
We'll leave this planet far behind

I'm a little tired of it
And you're a little weary
I can tell, yeah yeah

Well, I'm a little rocket ship
And you are Queen Andromeda
Of all the stars, those with names
And those in clusters
You are on account of me
Infinite, so can't you see that
I'm a little rocket ship

I'm a little rocket ship
I'll take you on a little trip
And leave this planet far behind

Do you suppose that they've been here?
I don't know, but I've been there
Do you want to come along?

I'm a little rocket ship and
You are crowned the Femme Magnificent
Of the stars, those with names
And those in dingy drag bars
They plead with you not to go
To Pleiades or Scorpio and
I'm a little rocket ship

Big Dipper lyrics - Cracker

Cigarettes and carrot juice
Get yourself a new tattoo
For those sleeveless days of June
I'm sitting on the Cafe Xeno's steps
With a book I haven't started yet
Watching all the girls walk by

Could I take you out
I'd be yours without a doubt
On that big dipper
And if the sound of this it frightens you
We could play it real cool
And act somewhat indifferent

And hey June
Why'd you have to come
Why'd you have to come around so soon
I wasn't ready for all this nature
The terrible green, green grass
The violent blooms of flower dresses
And afternoons that make me sleepy

But we could wait awhile
Before we push that dull turnstile
Into the passage
The thousands they have tread
And others sometimes fled
Before the turn came

And we could wait our lives
Before a chance arrives
Before the passage
From the top you can see Monterey
Or think about San Jose
Although I know it's not that pleasant

And hey Jim Kerouac
Brother of the famous Jack
Or so he likes to say, lucky bastard
He's sitting on the cafe's inner steps
With a girl that I'm not over yet
Watching all the world go by

Boy you're looking bad
Did I make you feel that sad?
I'm honestly flattered
But if she asks me out
I'd be hers without a doubt
On that big dipper

A Cigarette and carrot juice
And get yourself a new tattoo
For those sleeveless days of June
I'm sitting on the Cafe Xeno's steps
I haven't got the courage yet
I haven't got the courage yet
I haven't got the courage yet

Nothing To Believe In lyrics - Cracker

Yeah
Where you going to?
If you want me let me take you
Where you going to?
If you want me let me take you

'Cause in my life
I got nothing to believe in
Except for you
I got nothing to believe in

What'cha looking for
If you want it, I will find it
Yeah, what'cha looking for
If you want me let me find it

'Cause in my life
I got nothing to believe in
Except for you
I got nothing to believe in

And I feel fine (I feel fine)
I feel fine (I feel fine)
Yeah I feel fine (I feel fine)
I feel fine (I feel fine)

'Cause in my life
I got nothing to believe in
Except for you
I got nothing to believe in
Except for you
I got nothing to believe in

But I feel fine (I feel fine)
Yeah I feel fine (I feel fine)
I feel fine (I feel fine)
I feel fine (I feel fine)
Yeah I feel fine (I feel fine)
Yeah I feel fine (I feel fine)
I feel fine (I feel fine)
Yeah I feel fine (I feel fine)

The Golden Age lyrics - Cracker

This is the Golden Age
It's hard to imagine
With the way I feel today
That this is the Golden Age
The Golden Age

Somewhere I failed
Somewhere I lost you
In a black crowd of crows
And shiny things
I can't remember

This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age
The Golden Age

It seems like I'm high
But baby I'm crawling
In the unbearable days
I threw away
But I should have savored
The flaxen light
Off of the dying wheat
Your rye whiskey mouth
And your dandelion teeth

This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age

100 Flower Power Maximum lyrics - Cracker

Let’s pick it up
Let’s pick it up
Let’s pick it up
Let’s pick it up

Well the year of the redneck mama
It was announced by the sign of a comet
Hanging in the sky at 3 a.m.
Again and again
Again and again

And I say
100 flower power maximum
100 flower power maximum
100 flower power maximum
Let’s pick it up
Let’s pick it up

Well the year of the redneck mama
It was announced by the sign of a comet
Hanging in the sky at 3 a.m.
That's right

Let’s pick it up
Let’s pick it up
Let’s pick it up
Let’s pick it up
100 flower power maximum
100 flower power maximum
100 flower power maximum
100 flower power maximum
Lets pick it up (maximum)

Dixie Babylon lyrics - Cracker

We went down to the old part of town
By the stinking canal and the cotton mill
Under a ghetto palm with her bicycle shorts on
With a gesture she said to me

I really must confess
I'd like to get undressed with you
And though the thought had never really crossed my mind
Oh, but that was a lie
So we went along

We ran out under the turning leaves
And the fetid earth, it was damp and cool
Autumn's feeble light on her salty neck
All innocence, it was lost

I really must confess
I'm feeling quite distressed, my stars are always crossed
But I have always taken more than I have given back
And as a matter of fact, I've given nothing up

I Can't Forget You lyrics - Cracker

Gold summer wheat
It sways in the breeze
'Til it fades in the Autumn
To brown

Cool summer grass
It beckons and calls
And I lie here with you
In my heart

I can't forget you
I can't forget you
I can't forget you
At all

Birds take to the sky
They never aligned
They circle around
Forever

Now I tried but I failed
To hide and disguise
This one simple sentiment

I can't forget you
I can't forget you
I can't forget you
No, no

I can't forget you
I can't forget you
I can't forget you
At all
No, no

Sweet Thistle Pie lyrics - Cracker

It's been a long time since I had Sweet Thistle Pie
It's been a long time since I had Sweet Thistle Pie
She claps her hands and snaps her fingers
Knows my name but calls me Ginger
It's been a long time since I had Sweet Thistle Pie

Hey Hey Hey Yeah

(Sweet Thistle Pie) Sweet Thistle Pie
(Sweet Thistle Pie) Sweet Thistle Pie
Sweet Thistle Pie

It's been a long time since I've been so very low
It's been a long time since I've been so very low
When I was young you were no stranger
Around the world and slip through my fingers
It's been a long time since I've been so very low

Hey Hey Hey Yeah

Sweet Thistle Pie
Sweet Thistle Pie
(Sweet Thistle Pie) Sweet Thistle Pie
Sweet Thistle Pie

Sweet Thistle Pie
Sweet Thistle Pie
Sweet Thistle Pie
Sweet Thistle Pie

Sweet Thistle

Useless Stuff lyrics - Cracker

I'm so fucking sick
I'm the king of the world
I'm a genius of useless stuff

Some people they gotta work
Well I just hang around
Dreaming up useless stuff

So if I call you from time to time
I said my life is such a drag
I feel like a hag please shut me up
Girl would you like to live my life
And I'll be with you tonight
I'll be your useless stuff

Now everybody wants to be our friend
So we act real Zen
And hang around with movie stars

So if I call you from time to time
I said my life is such a drag
I feel like a hag, kick me in the ass
Girl would you like to live my life
And I'll be with you tonight
I'll be your useless stuff
Yeah, I'll be your useless stuff
Can I be your useless stuff?

How Can I Live Without You lyrics - Cracker

You can still come and bring me coffee in the morning
You can still come and make me chicken fried steak
Or you can live your life with whomever you please to
As long as someone takes good care of me
You know I don't mind

How can I live without you
If it means I gotta get a job
How can I live without you
If it means I gotta get a job

You can still come and bring me those fancy pastries
You can still come and crawl into my bed
You can live your life with whomever you please to
As long as someone takes good care of me
You know I don't mind

How can I live without you
If it means I gotta get a job
How can I live without you
If it means I gotta get a job

Yeah!

How can I live without you
If it means I gotta get a job
How can I live without you
If it means I gotta get a job

(How can) How can I live without you
If it means I gotta get a job
(How can) How can I live without you
If it means I gotta get a job

Bicycle Spaniard lyrics - Cracker

And it's a long, long way to the top
But when you come down it's one headlong rush

You've got an itch to scratch the shiny bits of light
Hanging like stars, Hanging like stars

And Mary says, you're such a restless soul
My Bicycle Spaniard, my Magyar of coal

You've got an itch to find what's best left lost and cold
My Bicycle Spaniard, my poor restless soul
My Bicycle Spaniard, my poor restless soul

"Kerosene Hat" (1993)

Low lyrics - Cracker

Sometimes I wanna take you down
Sometime I wanna get you low
Brush your hair back from your eyes
Take you down let the river flow

Sometimes I go and walk the street
Behind a green sheet of glass
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million miles

I'll be with you, girl, like being low
Hey, hey, hey like being stoned
I'll be with you, girl, like being low
Hey, hey, hey like being stoned

A million poppies gonna make me sleep
Just one rose it knows your name
The fruit is rusting on the vine
A fruit is calling from the trees

Hey don't you wanna go down
Like some junky cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million miles

I'll be with you, girl, like being low
Hey, hey, hey like being stoned
I'll be with you, girl, like being low
Hey, hey, hey like being stoned

Blue, blue is the sun
Brown, brown is the sky
Green, green are her eyes
A million miles, a million miles

Hey don't you wanna go down
Like some disgraced cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million miles

I'll be with you, girl, like being low
Hey, hey, hey like being stoned
I'll be with you, girl, like being low
Hey, hey, hey like being stoned

I'll be with you, girl, like being low
Hey, hey, hey like being stoned
I'll be with you, girl, like being low
Hey, hey, hey like being stoned

Movie Star lyrics - Cracker

Well the movie star, well she crashed her car
But everyone said she was beautiful even without her head
Everyone said she was dangerous

Well the chief of police kept the crime off the streets
Deep in his heart, we all knew he felt differently
We all knew he was an anarchist

Well I, I'd like to devour you
But you, you'd probably devour me

For your golden wheat, for your oat bran head
Deep in my heart
Girl you're a beautiful animal
I'll put a tag on your ear

Here we go!

Well the movie star, well she crashed her car
But everyone said she was beautiful even without her head
Everyone said she was dangerous

Well the chief of police kept the crime off the streets
Deep in his heart we all knew he felt differently
We all knew he was an anarchist

Well I, I'd like to devour you
But you, you'd probably devour me

Well I, I'd like to devour you
But you, you'd probably devour me

Girl you're a beautiful animal
Girl you're a beautiful animal
Girl you're a beautiful animal
Girl you're a beautiful animal
Girl you're a beautiful animal
Girl you're a beautiful animal
Girl you're a beautiful animal
Girl you're a beautiful animal

Get Off This lyrics - Cracker

All these cats with holey jeans
Dirty hair and titty rings
Say, "What's your scene man? We got these questions
Is it true that you have sold your soul?"
I say "Hey man, I don't know
Lend me a quarter, won't you? I'll call my accountant"

Let's get off this
And get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start to spin it
Get off this
Get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start this minute

Petty little Ayatollahs
Come around to judge and stone ya
All's we're trying to do is make a fortune
Yeah, we ain't got no government loans
And no one sends a check from home
But get this: we're just doin' what we wanna

So let's get off this
And get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start to spin it
Get off this
Get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start this minute

Well the guitar player's stayin'
Out in Hollywood and sayin'
He's just tryin' to get some sleep but everyone's complainin'
Are you truly deeply cynical
'Cause boy you know that I loved you so
When no one knew your name and you were pompous

Let's get off this
And get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start to spin it
Get off this
Get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth, shut your mouth

Get off this
And get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth and start to spin it
Get off this
Get on with it
If you wanna change the world
Shut your mouth, shut your mouth, yeah

Kerosene Hat lyrics - Cracker

How can I fly with these old doggy wings
While the magpie sings some shiny song
Old corn face row of teeth, she says sweetly to me
In the elevator

Everything seems like a dream
And life's a scream

Here come old Kerosene Hat
With his ear flaps waxed, a courting his girl
Come clattering in here on your old cloven skates
With that devilish spoon

Everything seems like a dream
And life's a scream
When you're submarine

So don't you bother me, death, with your leathery ways
And your old chaise lounge
Wickerman's fence of leathery tires
And the cook's gone mad, started several fires

Everything seems like a dream
When you're submarine

Head like a stream she says softly to me
From the rattling chair
Bring me a steak and my old pair of crows
My medicine lamp

Everything seems like a dream
So life's a scream

Take Me Down To The Infirmary lyrics - Cracker

Take me down
To the infirmary
Lay me down
On cotton sheets
Put a damp cloth
On my forehead
Lay me down
And let me sleep

I know the whiskey, it won't soothe my soul
And the morphine won't heal my heart
But if you take me down to the infirmary
I won't have to sleep or drink alone

So, take me down
To the infirmary
Walk a sound that's as blue as her eyes
Oh, sister Magdalene won't you fetch the doctor's flask
He is going to need a steady
A steady hand

I know the whiskey, it won't soothe my soul
And the morphine won't heal my heart
But if you take me down to the infirmary
I won't have to sleep or drink alone

So, take me down
To the infirmary
Lay me down on cotton sheets
Put a damp cloth on my forehead
Lay me down let me sleep
Lay me down let me sleep

Nostalgia lyrics - Cracker

And here's Ivanovich
In his rocket ship
Spinning helplessly
Up above the earth

While his heart is splintered
All the girls of winter
Are buried in their coats, anonymous

While winter girls are waiting
Ivanovich in high rotation
Is just another star
Up in the sky

And while the world was waiting
We're overwhelmed by some sensation
Of something long ago and far away

Like General Jackson's arm
It's buried on some farm
While the fever
Pushes words from his lips

And by the drunken river
Where the soldiers shiver
We rest beneath the shade of the trees

While winter girls are saying
"Each of us a tiny nation
You're just another star
But so am I."

And while the world was waiting
We're overwhelmed by some sensation
Of something long ago and far away

Sweet Potato lyrics - Cracker

Be my sweet potato
Be my honey lamb
Dance around the campfire
Hang around a while

Well, I been caught stealing
Someone else's vibe
Everybody loves or hates us
But we're still alive

Well wake up in the morning
Cup of coffee, grab your bags
Jump into the caddie
'Cause this touring ain't a drag
They were overrated, educated
I suppose a little jaded
When I get off this
I think I'm gonna have to be sedated

Be my sweet potato
I'll be your honey lamb
Give me some black tupelo
I been caught again
Shit!

I went to New York City
But then I come right back
Everyone was cool there
I couldn't get no slack
You seen me in the papers
You seen me in the Voice
I think I'd stay in Dixie
If I had the choice

Well wake up in the morning
Cup of coffee, grab your bags
Jump into the caddie
'Cause this touring ain't a drag
They were overrated, educated
I suppose a little jaded
When I get off this
I think I'm gonna have to be sedated

Be my sweet potato
I'll be your honey lamb
Give me some black tupelo
I been caught again

Sick Of Goodbyes lyrics - Cracker

If I could just keep
My stupid mind together
Then my thoughts across
The land for you to see
The sun drags locomotives
To the ocean
No one knows this like I do
Seconds clicking which I'm
Change to dust
Whithered roots of hair
And nights of rust
I'm waiting in the currents
Of the ocean
I'm so sick of goodbyes, goodbyes

I'm so sick of goodbyes, goodbyes
I'm so tired of goodbyes, goodbyes
Goodbyes, goodbyes
Goodbyes

When night comes crawling in
On a horse
Soaking up my dreams
Through the pores
I'm so sick
I'm so sick of goodbyes, goodbyes
Goodbyes
Goodbyes

I'm so sick of goodbyes, goodbyes
I'm so tired of goodbyes, goodbyes
I'm so sick, so sick of goodbyes, goodbyes
I'm so, I'm so
Goodbyes
Goodbyes
Goodbyes

I Want Everything lyrics - Cracker

I'm standing in your corridor
I wonder what I'm waiting for
The Leaves are drifting out to sea
I'm waiting for you desperately

All things beautiful
All things beautiful
I want everything
I want everything

You call us with your silent seas
You call us in our tiny boats
Gather us up with the storm
And cast us out upon the shore

All things beautiful
All things beautiful
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything

You're deep inside this fecund swamp
Or let it be your beating heart
You're deep inside this fecund swamp
You call us in our tiny boats

All things beautiful
All things beautiful
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything

Lonesome Johnny Blues lyrics - Cracker

Well, lucky number seven passed me by
Lucky number seven called my name and passed on by
Well he came back don't you know
With his brother six in tow
And that is how number thirteen wound up by my side.

And that is how I got these lonesome johnny blues
How I got these lonesome johnny blues
Got the lonesome johnny blues
And there's nothing I can do
'cept sing these sad old weary lonesome johnny blues

Here we go

Grim reaper he pulled up into my drive
Grim reaper pulled his little old Chevrolet right up onto the goddamn drive
"johnny, I haven't come for you
But I want someone who's dear to you
And the price you pay is to remain alive"

And I'll stay here with these lonesome johnny blues
Stay here with these lonesome johnny blues
With the lonesome johnny blues
And there's nothing I can do
'cept sing these sad old weary lonesome johnny blues

Woah, no more trouble send him down the road, won't you please.
No more trouble won't you beat him up, won't you send him down the road
Trouble dumped out the trash
Ransacked the place for cash
And he wound up taking much more than I own

And he left me with these lonesome johnny blues
Left me with these lonesome johnny blues
With the lonesome johnny blues
And there's nothing I can do
'cept sing these sad old weary lonesome johnny blues

Johnny blues
The sad old weary lonesome johnny blues
Johnny blues
The sad old weary lonesome johnny blues

Let's Go For A Ride lyrics - Cracker

Oh, yeah I feel alright tonight
Oh, man the stars are bright tonight
Like we could reach right out
And help yourself to them

Cause what we want and what we need
Will one day bring us to our knees
Well, I am over it
You know that I've accepted it

Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride

Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride

So, drive real fast through the underpass
And if we die or if we crash
Well I'd be flattered to
Be buried right next to you

Cause what's yours is yours
What's mine is mine
In the summertime
Under the blackened sky
The world belongs to us
Baby lets use it up.

Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride

Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride

Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride

Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride

Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride

Go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
Go for a ride

Loser lyrics - Cracker

If I had a gun for every ace I have drawn,
I could arm a town the size of Abilene
Don't you push me baby,
Cause I'm all alone and you know I'm only in it for the gold

All that I am asking is for ten gold dollars
And I could pay you back with one good hand
You can look around about the wide world over
And you'll never find another honest man.

Last fair deal in the country,
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold dollars where your love is baby,
Before I let my deal go down

Last fair deal in the country,
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold dollars where your love is baby,
Before I let my deal go down

Don't you push me baby, cause I'm all alone
And I know a little something you might never know
Don't you touch our liquor, just a cup of cold coffee
I'm gonna wake up in the morning and go

Everybody prayin' and drinkin' that wine
I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines
Come to papa on an inside straight,
Cause I got no chance of losing this time
No I got no chance of losing this time
No I got no chance of losing this time

Euro-Trash Girl lyrics - Cracker

Well I've been up to Paris
And I've slept in a park
Went down to Barcelona
Someone broke in my car
And I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

Took the train down to Athens
And I slept in a fountain
Some Swiss junkie in Turin
Ripped me off for my cash
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

The CRS on the metro
Shook me down for a bribe
On my knees for the sergeant
When my passport arrived
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl

Called my mom from a payphone
I said "I'm down to my last."
She said "I sent you to college
Now go call your dad."
And the waitress that he married
Well she hung up the phone
You know she never did like me
But I can stand on my own

Sold my plasma in Amsterdam
Spent it all in a night
Buying drinks at the Melk Weg
For a soldier in drag
And I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl
Euro-trash Girl, I'm a Euro-trash girl

Yeah, I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

Got a tattoo in Berlin
And a case of the crabs
A rose and a dagger
On the palm of my hand
And I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash girl

Yeah, I'll search the world over
For my angel in black
Yeah, I'll search the world over
For a Euro-trash Girl

I Ride My Bike lyrics - Cracker

And I ride my bike
And I drive my car
I drive it all around just to take me back to you

And I comb my hair
And I wear a dress
I wear it all around just to take me back to you

I ride my bike, take me back to you
I drive my car, take me back to you
I ride my bike, I drive my car, take me to you
I ride my bike, I drive my car, take me to you

And I ride my bike
And I drive my car
I drive it all around just to take me back to you

And I comb my hair
And I wear a dress
I wear it all around just to take me back to you

I ride my bike, take me back to you
I drive my car, take me back to you
I ride my bike, I drive my car, take me to you
I ride my bike, I drive my car, take me to you
I ride my bike, I drive my car, take me to you

This is a story about a dog, a dog
When I ride my bike
And my hair is blowing straight back
I think of you wearing that brown mohair sweater
Soft mounds of breasts underneath
Or better yet one of those squiggly aluminum lawn chairs
I'm putting sun tan lotion on your long legs
Wearing a broad rim straw hat
Pair of Mickey mouse sunglasses
Looking just like lolita
Looking just like lolita
White sheets hanging on the line
White sheets blowing in the wind
A satellite dish pointed straight up at the heavens

A satellite dish pointing straight up at the heavens
Isis! (Isis) (Isis)

Isis Isis Isis Isis
Isis Isis Isis Isis
Isis Isis Isis Isis
Oh yeah!

I ride my bike, I drive my car, take me to you
I ride my bike, I drive my car, take me to you
I ride my bike, I drive my car, take me to you
I ride my bike, I drive my car, take me to you

Teen Angst (What The World Needs Now) lyrics - Cracker

I don't know what the world may need
But I'm sure as hell that it starts with me
And that's a wisdom I have laughed at

I don't know what the world may want
But a good stiff drink it surely don't
So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one

'Cause what the world needs now is a new kind of tension
'Cause the old one just bores me to death
'Cause what the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

I don't know what the world may need
But a V-8 engine's a good start for me
I think I'll drive and find a place to be surly

I don't know what the world may want
But some words of wisdom could comfort us
Think I'll leave that up to someone wiser

'Cause what the world needs now are some true words of wisdom
Like la la la la la la la la la
'Cause what the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

I don't know what the world may need
And I'll never grasp your complexities
I'd be happy just to get your attention
I don't know what the world may want
But your long sweet body lying next to mine
Could certainly raise my spirits

'Cause what the world needs now is a new Frank Sinatra
So I can get you in bed
What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

What the world needs now
What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
What the world needs now
What the world needs now is a new Frank Sinatra
So I can get you in bed
What the world needs now
What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
What the world needs now
What the world needs now is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

Happy Birthday To Me lyrics - Cracker

I was having a good sleep in my car
In the parking lot of the Showboat Casino-Hotel
I say "I remember you, you drive like a P.T.A. mother
You brought me draft beer in a plastic cup"

I'm feeling thankful for the small things today
I'm feeling thankful for the small things today

Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me and to you
Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me and to you

I'm feeling thankful for the small things today
I'm feeling thankful for the small things today

I remember you, I crashed your wedding
With some orange crepe paper and some Halloween candy
Uh, sometimes I wish I were Catholic (I don't know why)
I guess I'm happy to see your face at a time like this

Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me and to you
Happy, happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me and to you

Happy birthday baby to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me

This Is Cracker Soul lyrics - Cracker

Hey hey it's okay to
Make a little mess out of your life
'Cause you don't need a diagram
to tell you how to have a good time

I said hey (hey)
Don't mean to frighten you away
This is Cracker soul, it comes so easy
I said hey (hey)
Don't get your head a mess.
This is just the best, it comes so easy
It comes so easy

Hey hey it's okay to never know
the answer but ask why (why oh why?)
You don't need another burden

I said hey (hey)
Don't get yourself distressed
Love is just the best
When comes easy
It comes so easy

Leave it for the rest
It comes so easy

Don't mean to frighten you away
This is Cracker soul
It comes so easy
It comes so easy

I See The Light lyrics - Cracker

I'd really like to see you now
In your father's combat boots
I'd really like to be with you
'Cause we could be so dark
It was only for the grace of you
That I got this attitude
I'll show you my gratitude
When I make it though

I see the light at the end of the tunnel now (I see the light)
Someone please tell me it's not a train (train, I see the light)
I see the light at the end of the tunnel now (I see the light)
No time to speak, no time to explain

Sometimes I imagine you
Lying in your bed
Sometimes you imagine too
Do you sometimes lust
For the grace that others have inside
The simple peace they make with life
They feel love like some summer's night
Well I want it too

I see the light at the end of the tunnel now (I see the light)
Someone please tell me it's not a train (train, I see the light)
I see the light at the end of the tunnel now (I see the light)
No time to speak, no time to explain

(I see the light)
I see the light at the end of the tunnel now (I see the light)
Someone please tell me it's not a train (train, I see the light)
I see the light at the end of the tunnel now (I see the light)
No time to speak, no time to explain

I see the light now, I see the light now, I see the light now, now
I see the light now, I see the light now, I see the light now, now, now, now
I see the light now, I see the light now, I see the light
I see the light I see the light
I see the light, now, now, I see the light, I see the light, now
I see the light now, I see the light now, I see the light
I see the light now, I see the light now, I see the light

St. Cajetan lyrics - Cracker

You know I don't feel well
I got a thirst in my mouth
And all I want is a cool drink of water
You know I don't feel well
I got salt in my wounds
And all I want is a cool drink of water

Can you hear me, St. Cajetan
I once knew a well so sweet
I put my lips, my lips to the pail to drink
But I'd give it all up for some water

You know I don't feel well
Got the salty taste of my tears
And all I want is some relief from this

You know I don't feel well
Been tossed and turned on this ocean
And all I want is this one wish

Can you hear me, St. Cajetan
All I want is a cool drink of water
Can you hear me, St. Cajetan
All I want is a cool drink of water
Can you hear me, St. Cajetan
All I want is a cool drink of water

Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Can you hear me, St. Cajetan
Can you hear me, St. Cajetan
All I want is a cool drink of water
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
All I want is a cool drink of water
Can you hear me, St. Cajetan
All I want is a cool drink of water

Mr. Wrong lyrics - Cracker

Well, meet me by the river that goes nowhere
Let me lay my sorry trip on you
Won't you meet me by the river, little darling?
I might just let you see my bad tattoo

Well I was gonna bring you flowers, but I didn't
It's the thought that counts and I think I'm a bit too broke
But there's some change in my ashtray
Maybe just enough to pay
For a half pint of somethin' probably make us choke

Well, no I'd rather not go and meet your family
They'd probably send me back where I belong
Don't want to hear about your Mr. Right
'Cause he's out of town tonight
Baby come and spend some time with Mr. Wrong

I drive a one-eyed Malibu without a muffler
And a tape deck that works if you kick it hard enough
Baby if you'd like to read, I got some great pornography
And a ten pound flashlight rolling in the trunk

Well, no I'd rather not go and meet your family
They'd probably send me back where I belong
Don't want to hear about your Mr. Right
'Cause he's out of town tonight
Baby come and spend some time with Mr. Wrong

Now, do you have a girlfriend and does she look as good as you?
Hey, would she like to meet my brother?
He'll be out of jail in a month or two

Well, no I'd rather not go and meet your family
They'd probably send me back where I belong
Don't want to hear about your Mr. Right
'Cause he's out of town tonight
Baby come and spend some time with Mr. Wrong
Where I come from they call me Mr. Wrong

Someday lyrics - Cracker

Someday well I'll get it right
Yeah one day I'll get it right
Someday well I'll get it right
Yeah one day I'll get it right

And I had a dream last night
That I was feeling barely human
So save me a place in your parking lot
And save me a place beside you
When you lie down to sleep at night
Someday I'll get it right

Someday well I'll get it right
Yeah one day I'll get it right
Someday well I'll get it right
Yeah one day I'll get it right

And if you see the dark clouds
Gathering out on the horizon
Don't be alarmed
They're just there for me
Just save me a place beside you
When you lie down to sleep at night
Someday I'll get it right

Someday well I'll get it right
Yeah one day I'll get it right
Someday well I'll get it right
Yeah one day I'll get it right
Yeah one day I'll get it right

Can I Take My Gun To Heaven? lyrics - Cracker

Can I take my gun up to heaven?
You know she's always been by my side
So can I take my gun up to heaven?
I'll check it with St. Peter at the gate

And if I had a woman that was faithful
Or even kind some of the time
I'd drag her on up to the gates of heaven
Or follow her right down to the gates of hell

So can I take my gun up to heaven?
You know she's always been by my side
So can I take my gun up to heaven?
I'll check it with St. Peter at the gate

When I come home from a long day a-working at the prison
I find my woman she's not around
She's down at dahlie's corner a-playing cards and drinking
Or sitting on the cars singing dixie with the boys

Can I take my gun up to heaven?
You know she's always been by my side
So can I take my gun up to heaven?
I'll check it with St. Peter at the gate

Can I take my gun up to heaven?
Can I take my gun up to heaven?
Can I take my gun up to heaven?
Can I take my gun up to heaven?

Can I take my gun up to heaven?

Satisfy You lyrics - Cracker

As far as I know, the world don't spin
They carry you around in your bed
And rearrange the stars all night
To satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you

Could I redeem myself
If I was someone else
I'd walk on the water
In your dad's swimming pool
Show you my bloody palms
If I thought that would satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you

Now I'm not wise, and I'm not old
So I'll be bitter, and I'll be cruel
I just did it less each and every day

Did I satisfy
Did I satisfy-ha-ah-ah-ay ha-ah-ah you
Until satisfy-ha-ah-ah-ay ha-ah-ah you
Until satisfy (satisfy you, satisfy you)
Until satisfy (satisfy you, satisfy you)
Until satisfy (satisfy you, satisfy you)
Until satis--till I satisfy (satisfy you, satisfy you)
Until I satisfy

Another Song About The Rain lyrics - Cracker

Wind of fate has pried us loose
Light of mercy hurts my eyes
Is it worth the things you lose
To board the train and watch the sky

I sing myself to sleep at night
I sing myself to sleep

Another song about the rain
Coming down it burns through me
Another song about the rain

Got a line straight from my heart
Another time it went to you
Another place we were smart
Before the flood and time was through

I sing myself to sleep at night
I sing myself to sleep

Another song about the rain
Coming down it burns through me
Another song about the rain

Sorry now I never made you see
Sorry now sounds so far away
Will our child cry for me
When he hears the dragon's flame

Highway flares make red the streets
My fingers spin the dial again
But every station's on to me, yeah
Another song about the rain

(Another song about the rain) Another song about the rain
(Another song about the rain) Coming down it burns through me
(Another song about the rain) Another song about the rain
(Another song about the rain) Never rained so viciously
(Another song about the rain)
(Another song about the rain) Another song about the rain
(Another song about the rain) Another song about the rain
(Another song about the rain) Another song about the rain
(Another song about the rain)

Don't Fuck Me Up (With Peace And Love) lyrics - Cracker

Now here I am, the youngest old man in the world
And I have come to bring you my burden
Of every sleepless night without you in my arms
Of being bored and calm and sometimes sober

Don't mess me up by being kind
Don't mess me up by being wise

Now here I am, I am the angel of earth
And I have come to bring you my burden
Now here I am, I am the game warden of love
'Til someone took away my gin and tonic

Don't mess me up I'm on a roll
Keep being wise, I'll be inspired

Don't fuck me up with peace and love when I haven't got it in me
Don't fuck me up with peace and love when I haven't got it in me
I haven't got it in me
I haven't got it in me anymore

Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love

Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love
Don't fuck me up with peace and love

Dr. Bernice lyrics - Cracker

Okay 1 2 3 2 2

Baby don't you drive around with Dr. Bernice
She's not a lady doctor at all
She's got hands like a man
With hair on the back
She'll crush you with her embrace

Though the wind may whisper and moan sometimes
We all need a kind place to live
Though the wind may whisper and howl at your door
We all need the comfort of friends

Baby don't you drive around with Dr. Bernice
That ain't a real Cadillac
It's a Delta 88 spray painted black
With fake leather seats from Juarez

Though the wind may whisper and moan sometimes
On a hot desert night it is still
Though the world may whisper and howl at your door
You're not obliged to let them all in

Okay Johnny

Baby don't you drive ride in that faux Cadillac
If you must please ride in the back
If you sing while you ride you'll be a siren tonight
Spare this poor sailor's life from the rocks

Though the wind may whisper a melody now
We can't find a tune of our own
Though the world may whisper and blow in your face
And tangle the hair on your head

On a hot desert night we can drive down the road
And the stars will spell out your name
On a hot desert night with the windows down wide
The sirens will sing me their song

And the ghosts of the sailors who died on the rocks
Feel not a twitch of regret
Though the wind may tangle the hair on your head
You sing like a siren to me

On a hot desert night, the caravan stops
At the oasis next to your heart
The soundtrack is played by some aged British queen
On BBC Radio One

Though the wind my whisper and epic sometimes
The cast must include Karen Black
Though the symphony strings shifts with the sand
You sing like a siren to me
You sing like a siren to me
You sing like a siren to me

Bad Vibes Everybody lyrics - Cracker

Bad vibes everybody
Bad vibes everyone
Bad vibes, brothers and sisters
Yeah, bad vibes everyone

I know it's wrong to blame the world for all my troubles
but that don't mean I can't give it a try.
Don't fuck me up with the peace, love and understanding.
It's time to give the other side a try.

Bad vibes everybody
Bad vibes everyone
Bad vibes, brothers and sisters
Yeah, bad vibes everyone

Well, I've been clean and I've been calm and I've
been sober until everyday is just like a day in church.
I've been in love and just fucked with my conviction
to celebrate the bad things in this world.

Bad vibes everybody
Bad vibes everyone
Bad vibes, brothers and sisters
Yeah, bad vibes everyone
Yeah, bad vibes everyone

Okay, stop

Blue Danube Blues lyrics - Cracker

don't know why I come back to this place
no-one seems to re-e-member my face
I got the blue danube blues for you

Now all the girls around here, they're just a little corn-fed
Don't drink at all, I can't get them in bed
I got the blue danube blues for you

[Bridge:]
Now all my friends now I'm back at home
don't wanna hang around, they stay at home

They all got jobs and kids and wake up before noon

[Chorus:]
A yodel-odel-ay-ee-tee
A yodel-odel-ay-ee-e-tee-oh
I got the blue danube blues for you

[Repeat bridge]

[Repeat chorus]

I got the blue danube blues for you

Cracker / FSK lyrics - Cracker

When it's raining in Texas,
It snows in Berlin.
And though your heart must be heavy,
But mine's made of lead.

Cause when it's raining in Texas,
This soldier is sad.
But if you're not my sweetheart,
I know you'll be my friend.

Well I've been round the world now,
And thought just of you
But I never fought you for what you couldn't do.

When it's raining in Texas,
It snows on the Rhine.
And that sad lazy river,
Would ease my poor mind.

[Lots of Mournful Yodeling]

And when the plane leaves from Frankfurt,
It will leave me behind.
Though I'd love to come see you,
But if I'm gonna be sad ...

When it springtime in Texas,
It rains on the Rhine.
And that sad lazy river,
Will ease my poor mind.

Yes, that sad lazy river,
Will soothe my poor soul.

Soothe my poor soul.

Fiddle lyrics - Cracker

When I was a boy there were fifteen a-people in the world
Fifteen a-bound for heaven, and fifteen a-bound for hell
And the devil come 'round, yeah he jump on my bed
Say you got to leave me alone you got to give me some rest

But I gather my lead, and I gather my spool
And I burn it all with sulphur 'til the devil did what we feared

And we fly through the night, under the mercury moon
So I could watch you sleep and dream a-in your room

When I was a boy, a-there were fifteen people in the world
I had a bowl for my sweetheart, and a fiddle to raise the devil from hell
I could play a sweet tune, or make my sweetheart laugh
I could shake a blackbird from the highest tree branch

I was half a boy, I was half a jack
Jimmy? donner? was full of man, most of which is bad

You know he shot a man that had my father's face
And he geld a woman down who had my sister's name

When I was a boy, a-there were fifteen people in the world
And the lovers would lie in the long tall grass by the railroad track
And the angels come down, they make the rails to sing
I put my ears to the tracks, and they tell me things

That a train would come with a fiery roar
Reeks in heaven into hell into a long black trail of smoke

And the earth would shake with the escaping steam
And the train would make a thunder to drown out any scream

Hmmm, hmmm
Hmmm, hmmm
Hmmm, hmmm
Hmmm, hmmm

When I was a boy, a-there were a-fifteen people in the world
A-fifteen bound for heaven, and fifteen bound for hell
And the lovers would lie in a box o' pine
And the doctor come 'round, to flick coins on their eyes

I'm a preacher man now, I've got my place on earth
'cause I have heard the voices from beyond this world

I'm a preacher man now, I've got my place in hell
'cause I have heard the voices no man should live to tell
'cause I have heard the voices no man should live to tell

Huh-huh, huh-huh
Huh-huh, huh-huh
Huh-huh, huh-huh
Huh-huh, huh-huh

Huh-huh, huh-huh
Huh-huh, huh-huh
Huh-huh, huh-huh
Huh-huh, huh-huh

Get Outta My Head lyrics - Cracker

Someone please save us
Save us from our wicked little selves
We're bent or courageous
We're drifting so it's hard for me to tell

I wanna make you mine all of the time
I wanna be your [?] man
Get outta my head or into my bed.
Get outta my head or into my bed.

I had a dream about you last night
I had a dream about you last night

Yeah we were contageous
We were both covered up with bees
I felt so outrageous
The hip priest man, he ain't got nothing on me

I wanna make you mine all of the time
I wanna be your [?] man
Get outta my head or into my bed.
Get outta my head or into my bed.

I had a dream about you last night
I had a dream about you last night

Good Times Bad Times lyrics - Cracker

(originally by Led Zeppelin)

In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man
Now that I've reached that age, I try to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I tried, I find my way to the same old jam

Good times, bad times, you know I had my share
Well, my woman left home with a brown-eyed man
But I still don't seem to care

Seventeen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be
It only took a couple of days 'til she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine and love me 'til the end
But when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend

Good times, bad times, you know I had my share
Well, my woman left home with a brown-eyed man
But I still don't seem to care

Good times, bad times, you know I had my share
Well, my woman left home with a brown-eyed man
But I still don't seem to care

I know what it means to be alone
I sure do wish I was at home
I don't care what the neighbors say
I'm gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
Realize, sweet baby, we ain't never gonna part

I Drink Water lyrics - Cracker

I drove a car from new york city
all the way to new orleans
I was watching at the window
but I don't know what it means

The world is full of contradictions
I nearly quit to reconcile
But when I'm thirsty I drink water
And when I'm hungry I have lunch

and I like the pop songs on the radio
though they rarely make much sense
and I like cream and I like sugar in my coffee and my tea
If you know what I mean

Now all my friends are getting sober
You might say downright a-serious

You know they're making themselves better
A-making themselves better just for what?

And I like the pop songs on the radio
Especially when they've got three chords - this one's got four
And I like cream and I like sugar in my coffee and my tea
If you know what I mean

So won't you please lift off your burden
Of searching for significance
And if you're thirsty, drink some water
And if you love me, live with me

a-when I'm thirsty I drink water
a-when I'm thirsty I drink water
a-when I'm thirsty I drink water
a-when I'm thirsty I drink water

Ok, how were the levels then?

I'm A Good Old Rebel lyrics - Cracker

Well I'm a good old rebel, yes that's just what I am
And on this land of freedom I does not give a damn
Well I'm glad we fought against it, I only wish I'd won
And I don't want no party for anything I done

Well I hates the slighty? banter in everything they do
I hates the declaration of independence too

But I'm glad we fought against it, I only wish we'd won
And got 300 million instead of what we done

I won't be reconstructed, I'm better now than then
For this good land of freedom I does not give a damn
Three hundred-thousand yankees are stiff in southern dust
And I don't want no party for anything I done

Let's All Be Someone Else lyrics - Cracker

Previously known as 'miss santa cruz county'
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 (the sea?)
She sometimes called herself anita
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
A-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

Poor red sonja
Never had a clue
She'd be busted down
In charleston town
Some saturday

So kiss me now, kleine frau

Ein teurer bmw
Virginia nummernschild
Tasha, booker und ihr kleines kind
Die konspirative wohnung
Out in forest hill
Neue kleider, neue politik
Neue kleider, neue politik

River Euphrates lyrics - Cracker

River Euphrates
Is longer than you
A wandering drag queen
A Hasidic Jew

River Euphrates
At Hollywood and vine
A Nubian princess
She's drunk all the time

River Euphrates
Somewhere in space
She's watching free cable
She digs microwaves

River Euphrates
Thinks she's a liar
I'll you forever
Love me a week

River Euphrates
You fell like a star
Hide you in Mecca
Buy you a car

River Euphrates
You black shiny stone
I'll love you forever
But you're never home

River Euphrates
Somewhere in space
Watching free cable
She digs microwaves

There is like no other
And only one God
And River Euphrates is it
And that is her job

Oh yeah, Alright

What's So Funny About Peace, Love & Understanding lyrics - Cracker

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.

I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

And as I walked on
Through troubled times

My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

White Riot lyrics - Cracker

(originally by The Clash)

White riot, I wanna riot
White riot, riot of my own
White riot, I wanna riot
White riot, riot of my own

Black man's got a lot of problems
But he don't mind throwing a brick
Poor people go to school
Where they teach you how to be thick

And everybody's doing
Just what they're told
And nobody wants
To go to jail

White riot, I wanna riot
White riot, riot of my own
White riot, I wanna riot
White riot, riot of my own

White riot, I wanna riot
White riot, riot of my own
White riot, I wanna riot
White riot, riot of my own

White riot, I wanna riot
White riot, riot of my own
White riot, I wanna riot
White riot, riot of my own
