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..
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

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]
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

You are so beautiful

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

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?
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?

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

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
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

Rusted out
Broken down

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)
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

You're so shameless (you should be guarded by monkeys)
One Fine Day lyrics - Cracker

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

And all you thieves you walk out
Come into the light of one fine day
These crippled legs will walk again

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

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
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
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
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)
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

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

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
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
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
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

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
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.
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
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

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.
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
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

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
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]

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
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

The good life for you, for me
Well I don't mind saying

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
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

And show the world your green, green eyes

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

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
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
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
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

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

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
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

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
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
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

You're a wild one
A wild one
You're a wild one
Were you raised by wolves?
Learned their dark secrets

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

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
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?
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
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
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
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 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'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
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
