Scrappy Come Home They called him Scrappy, he was the one, the best companion, and a lot of fun With territorial instinct, he ruled the yard at night Until a big four wheeler, came and took my doggies life Come on Scrappy where are you, we got a million things to do I got your chew toy, I got your bone, so c'mon Scrappy please come home I walked the neighborhood, 100 times through the dark and silence, I still could hear him whine Thinking back to the day, when I found him on the road How could you go and leave me, leave me all alone, no Come on Scrappy where are you, we got a million things to do I got your chew toy, I got your bone, so C'mon Scrappy please come home A red bowl sits empty, on my kitchen floor, I'd give up anything, to fill it just once more A tattered pillow, a half chewed bone, how could you go and leave me, leave me all alone Come on Scrappy where are you, we got a million things to do I got your chew toy, I got your bone, so C'mon Scrappy please come home (Won't you come home, boy)

POT BELLY PETE Sitting by myself alone again today, thinking about the person that I might have been Getting lost within the daydreams in my head Where I am a hero, I am a lover, I am all that I choose to be Sitting by a silent phone again today, watching heavy snowfall with my labrador Getting lost within the cobwebs in my head Where I am a hero, I am a lover, I am all that I choose to be A move actor, punk musician, fill the gaps in with all that I'm missin' Porno stud guy, baseball pitcher, Bridget Fonda's the girl that I'm kissin tonight! Sitting brain dead on the floor again today, laughing to myself in a most peculiar way Drifting wild into the cobwebs in my head Where I am a hero, Robert DeNiro, where I am all that I choose to be

I wanna get her back to me, but I think she's tired of me I'm a lonely Boy, I'm a lonely Boy, I'm a lonely Boy, I'm a lonely Boy Every time I think of her, it brings back memories I wanna get her back to me, Oh darling can't you see. C'mon baby c'mon c'mon back to me I'm a lonely Boy, I'm a lonely Boy, I'm a lonely Boy, I'm a lonely Boy Oh my darling can't you see, you're the one that means so much to me You know I miss your tender touch, can't wait to feel your crotch, Hey what a crotch, can't wait to, fuck it I'm a lonely Boy, I'm a lonely Boy, I'm a lonely Boy, I'm a lonely Boy I'm a lonely Boy, I'm a lonely Boy, I'm a lonely Boy, I'm a lonely Boy

TV AND MY BABY When you have doubts about it, know we can't live without it Star trek's important but it's not as fun as you I love the Bundy's and the crazy things the Simpson's do But deep down inside I know that far and wide, they're not as fun as you Television and my Baby go together so right Just like telescopes and children on a starry night The way that Hawkeye makes me laugh when I feel cold it's so right It's forever Just take the man and his game, they become one and the same Football's important but it's not as fun as you They love the music and the money made off Michael too, But deep down inside I know that far and wide, it's not as fun as you Tabloid T.V. and my Baby go together so right Just like atom bombs and Nevada on a cold October night The way old movies make me cry when I'm alone I can't fight It's forever You and my remote control, are the best friends that I know Roseanne's important but it's not fun without you The Kids in the Hall and Almost Live portray the things I wanna do But deep down inside I know that far and wide, it's not fun without you Television and my Baby go together so right Just like Spiderman and Venom on a darkened winter's night The way The Scarecrow makes us live the things we fear it's so right It's forever (forever is now)

Jennifer 02:22
JENNIFER When the morning broke and daylight came, I saw your lipstick on the mirror and realized just what you'd done to me The month's we'd spent together through the calm and stormy weather it was, I guess it has to be a memory Jennifer where have you gone and are you coming home Cause I just can't make it on my own Thinking back it all seemed so great, I'm just trying to compensate for fear and what this circumstance has done to me The time we went to Lansing on a trip to take our chances it was It seemed so easy then I can't explain Jennifer where have you gone and are you coming home Cause I just can't make it on my own We talked about a house we'd name, Haddon Hall just like our friends The David Bowie's were so good to us Well I'd share my needle with you, and I'd share my cotton and my spoon Just to hear you say you love me, one more time Jennifer where have you gone and are you coming home Cause I just can't make it, I just can't take it, Jennifer, I just can't make it on my own

Because 04:15
BECAUSE Because I woke up late this morning, remote control stuck tight within my hand Lungs filled with dirt from too much smokin, I guess I do because I can I don't care too much for breakfast, I dont think I ever will I crack a beer for measure and be glad the world is still Population, education, television, mastrubation, Tell me why you do things you do now Because money is our master, and our shield a plastic scheme For the hate that makes us faster, helps us run toward a deadly dream Say no drugs say yes to gin and tonic, a clean Mercedes is a plus Now make sure your chidren truly love you, or they'll go bad and lose your trust I don't care too much for suburbs, I don't think I ever will I crack a beer for measure and be glad the world is still Population, education, television, generation, Tell me why you do things you do now Because money is our master, and our shield a plastic scheme For the hate that makes us faster, helps us run toward a deadly dream Because I woke up late this morning, remote control stuck tight within my hand Lungs filled with dirt from too much smokin, I guess I do because I can I don't care too much for problems, I dont think I ever will I crack a beer for measure and be glad the world is still Population, education, television, generation, Tell me why you do things you do now Because money is our master, and our shield a plastic scheme For the hate that makes us faster, helps us run toward a deadly dream Run toward a deadly dream

I Like Girls 01:48
I LIKE GIRLS Some guys they like wear skinny ties and look in the mirror Yeah other guys, they like to think, yeah otherwise, they make believe But there's only one thing that I like and it's the best thing in the world you know what I like - I like girls Some guys like to hit the street with both shoes shining on their feet While other guys they think it's tough to take too much when you've had enough But there's only one thing I'm thinking of and it's the thing I really love You know what I like - I like girls I like girls for breakfast, and I like girls for tea I like girls and without exception, they like me I like girls that go to movies and I like girls that watch TV I like girls because they're groovy, don;t you agree Now some guys they travel round' the states making eyes with their affiliates and other guys they just stay at home, keep their hopes up when they're all alone There's only place where I belong and I'll be there before long You know what I like - Like Girls, I like Girls, especially brunettes, I like!

HIGH SCHOOL BLUES The way you punched me was so cool, your skull ring gave me a bad bruise I sit and think about you every night Lipstick and matching punk rock shades, fill my eyes with tear and glaze The tunnel's dark but I can see a light And god I think about you, every day, I know some girls are beter, better left unchanged And if I had your love oh Traci yeah it's true, I'd take a shot, I'd die for you I saw your friends at 12 Oaks Mall, some jocks were following you all I stood way back and made sure you were safe We both had Arby's you don't know, yeah I was there I'd never go We smoked a cigarette at Jim's arcade And God I long to hold you, everyday, I'd never be so dumb to fall astray And If I had the time oh Traci yeah it's true. I'd build a castle just for you So now you've heard my stupid tale, to have you I would go to jail I'd give my air up just so you can breathe I hope you've listened to the tune, there's not a thing I wouldn't do So tell me shall I stay or shall I leave Cause God I long to hold you, everyday, I know your life would be much better with me And if I had your love oh Traci yeah it's true I'd throw my world away for you
