Hello

Hello Hello Hello Hello

Hello Hello Hello Hello

I tried 2 tell them that I didn't want 2 sing
But I'd gladly write a song instead
They said okay and everything was cool
'Til a camera tried 2 get in my bed

Hello My bed Hello Hello

I was sittin' pretty with a beautiful friend ("Oh darling")
When this man tries 2 get in the car
("'Ey Prince, c'mon, give us a smile eh?")
No introduction, "How U been?"
Just "Up yours, smile, that's right, you're a star!" (Star)

U call 'em bodyguards but I call 'em my friends
I guess I'm used 2 havin' 'em around
And cameras by nature like rewards
That's the trouble I get when I'm Uptown

I'm not afraid to die (Don't be afraid)
Oh no, there's a better place ('Cuz there's a better place 2 go)
I eat what I want (U can eat what U want)
Whole wheat toast (Anything is cool in moderation)
And I'm happy, and that's for sure

We're against hungry children
Our record stands tall
There's just as much hunger here at home

We'll do what we can
If y'all try and understand
A flower that has water will grow
And the child misunderstood will go

Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello

Everybody we're against hungry children
Our record stands tall
There's just as much hunger here at home

We'll do what we can
If y'all try and understand
A flower that has water will grow
And the child misunderstood will go

Our record stands tall, u know
Give us time and love will show

Hello

Gotta stop (messin' about)

Sittin' outside your door, about to break down
Fourth time this week somebody's come around
Who's it gonna be tonight, who's the lucky man
Where you get the attitude, I'll never understand
Uh Oh, here he comes now, so happy that he came
Hey! Was it good boy? [Thoughts on, of her aim]

What goes on inside your head that makes you want to take them all to bed?
Gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
U know U gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about

When I call U on the phone, you act so unconcerned
(I wanna) I wanna get you all alone (ooh baby) to show U what I've learned
Why U won't give me the time of day, U won't give me some time,
U won't give me anything, god U think U're too fine

Can't U see? All I want is a little time,
I've been playing with my toy so much I'm gonna go blind.
Gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
U gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
Gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
U gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
U gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
U do it too much
U gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about

Horny toad

If I had your number
I'd call u on the phone
I'd breathe a little heavy [...] word maybe I'd start to groan

I don't love u
I'm just a horny toad

I don't want your money
'Cause I got all I need
All I want is to rub your body until u start to bleed

I don't love u
I'm just a horny toad

If I had your address
I'd come right 2 your door
I'd knock all day till u let me in and then I'd knock some more

I ain't crazy
I'm just a horny toad

If u think I'm nasty
U ain't seen nothing yet
Y'see I'm the kinda brother that the more u scream the nastier I get

I can't help it
I'm just a horny toad

Now watch me dance!

Run and go tell your boyfriend
His loving has got you bored
Might as well pack his things and get his bad ass on the road

Tell him u live on a lilly pad
With a horny toad

Girl

Girl, U excite me so
Ooh wee baby, your body's like no other
Girl, it's U I gotta know
Ooh wee baby, I bet U're quite a lover
Ooh girl, I wanna take U home
Ooh wee baby, U're dreaming I scream inside U
I want U in the worst way
U make me...

Girl {x2}

Girl, won't U kiss me?
Ooh wee baby, my lips they want U so
Girl, how can U resist me?
The smell of animal lust is all, all over me
Oh girl, if I could hold your hand
I'd make U touch my body until U understand
I'm your man all night, all day
I want U in the worst way
U make me...

Caress the flower
Warm, warm
Bring it 2 the garden
The garden?
Be poetic
Tell me what it feels like
A sea of electricity?
Now that's wonderful
Talk 2 U? Talk 2 U?
What do U wanna hear?
If I was anything else I'd be the water in your bath, darling
Mmm

I love U in me

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today 
2 get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here 2 tell u
There's something else
The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night

So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby 

'Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own

And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor

If u don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around u
At least u got friends

U see I called my old lady
4 a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Sex, sex) is all I heard

Are we gonna let de-elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no Let's Go!

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look 4 the purple banana 
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

We're all excited 
But we don't know why
Maybe it's cuz
We're all gonna die

And when we do (When we do)
What's it all 4 (What's it all 4)
U better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look 4 the purple banana 
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

C'mon baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
Crazy

Let's go crazy

Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Go crazy

I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go, let's go 
Go 
Let's go

Dr. Everything'll be alright 
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and dafodills will kill
Hang tough children

He's coming
He's coming
Coming

Take me away!

Look'it here

The smell of doom
Is creepin' into your lonely room

The bed's on fire
Your fate is sealed
And you're so tired
And the reason is Camille-mille

But she never wears a stitch

She won't let you play your guitar

And when you've cried enough
Maybe she'll let you up
For a nasty ride in her shockadeli-car

She'll make you beg (Please) girl

Shockadelica
Got you in a trance
'Cause when this woman say dance you dance

You need a second opinion
But you just can't leave her alone
As though you got no mind of your own

Irresistible bitch

Let him sing
Turn it down a little

Every friday night I call your butt up on the phone
A deeper voice answers and says you're not at home
Now if u think that I'm a fool who'll go 4 any line
Then honey, put down all your money, u win every time

Irresistible bitch
I love the way u walk
Irresistible bitch
I love the way u talk
Irresistible bitch
And I really dig the way u kiss
Irresistible
Oh mama, I wish I could resist

All my partners ask me why I take so much abuse
Why am I so faithful, honey? Why are u so loose?
They say why am I the one who never gets to take u home?
But they don't know the things u do 2 me when we're alone

Irresistible bitch
I love the way u walk
Irresistible bitch
I love the way u talk
Irresistible bitch
I really dig the way u kiss
Irresistible
Oh mama, I wish I could resist

Hurt me, hurt me

Stole all my honey
Played it off like it was a joke
You're stealing all my honey, baby, keep u by my side
Bleed me till I'm broke.

Sugar

Hell if I know why I let u drive my car
Don't I know that walking won't get me very far?
Sure I know that crying over u is just in vain
But all things I lose don't add up to all the things I gain

Irresistible bitch
I love the way u walk
Irresistible bitch
I love the way u talk
Irresistible bitch
And I really dig the way u kiss
Ain't it a shame? (Irresistible) 
Oh mama, mama, I wish I could re-
Hurt me!

Stole all my honey
Played it off like it was a joke
Stealing all my honey, baby, keep u by my side
Bleed me till I'm broke

Everybody, everybody dance

Scarlet pussy

Once upon a time in the land of fever, there lived a scarlet pussy
This kitty cat of fine descent, was cherished by her mother
Who wouldn't let another, pet her, unless he was qualified

Every 1st of the month this pretty feline got the hots
And that's when the neighborhood (D-d-dogs) 
They'd line up around the block
Meow

When my little scarlet feline roars
The locals come around (Come Around)
When they see the scarlet light
They know it's time to come chase her down (Chase her down)

Lo and behold the fantastical way
In which their bodies groove
My scarlet pussy's furry magic alters any mood

Scarlet Pussy (It's cool)
Scarlet Pussy
Pussycat, pussycat
Wherefore art thou, puppy?

She can make U crazy if U're too close to her heat
She can make U sad when U're happy as can be
She can make U shoot your ego all over her sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little scarlet pussy

Every dog would try his lines
To get pussy's attention ([...])
All they want is so exposed
In ways too gross to mention (Eew!)

Green virgin teenager
A filthy rich yuppie
Pussycat pussycat
Wherefore art thou puppy?
Scarlet Pussy

She can make U crazy if U're too close to her heat
She can make U sad when U're happy as can be
She can make U shoot your ego all over your sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little scarlet pussy

Meow
Now what's going on? 
Oh, no, man, look out!
Somebody come get this meow-meow of my leg!
MEOW!

Scarlet Pussy

Pussycat pussycat
Wherefore art thou, puppy?
Meow

She can make U crazy if U're too close to her heat
She can make U sad when U're happy as can be
She can make U shoot your ego all over her sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little scarlet pussy

All is hers in love and war, my little scarlet pussy

She can make U happy, she can make U sad
She can make U crazy (Crazy)
She can make U shiver from your head down to your feet
She can make U shoot your ego all over her sheets (Oh!)

She can make U crazy if U're too close to her heat
She can make U sad when U're happy as can be
She can make U shoot your ego all over her sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little scarlet pussy

La, la, la, he, he, he

I am a dog outside your door
I have been there since a quarter to four
You are a cat licking intense
I bite your leg in self-defense

Say it! Uurh, uurh, uurh, uurh
Say it! Uurh, uurh, uurh, uurh

Get out my tree, grinning at me
Licking your tail like its cream
Stroking your whiskers, causing a scene
That's not the way to be to me (That's not the way)

Say it! Uurh, uurh, uurh, uurh
Say it! Uurh, uurh, uurh, uurh

And the doggy say to the kitty
La, La, La, He, He, Hee
I want you, you want me
Oh how sexy it will be
If we ever get together in my tree

Say it! Uurh, uurh, uurh, uurh
Say it! Uurh, uurh, uurh, uurh

Hey little pussy you sure look sweet
Knocking me off of my 4 feet (Knocking me off of my 4 feet) {My 4 feet}
Sure do wish dogs could climb (I wish, I wish) 
Then we could have a funky good time

Say it! Uurh, uurh, uurh, uurh
Say it again! Uurh, uurh, uurh, uurh

Why you wink at me? (Why you wink at me?)
I don't wanna see (I don't wanna see)
Nasty little cat up up in a tree (Up) {Up}
Is it really worth-a one night of fun?
You've got 9 lives, I only got one

Say it! Uurh, uurh, uurh, uurh

And the doggy say to the kitty
La, La, La, He, He, Hee
I want you, you want me
Oh how sexy it will be
If we ever get together in my tree

I'm picking up your scent

U didn't answer your phone
The main drag is knowing that
U probably weren't alone

So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin' 4 my sunshine
But all I've got is two cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine

So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

You've been gone 17 days
17 long nights
The main drag is knowing that
You're holding someone else tight

I wanna to call u everyday
And beg u 2 be near me
But I know your head is underwater
I doubt that u could hear me

So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
17 Days
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
17 Days

Called u yesterday
U didn't answer your phone
If you're the one who's always lonely
Then I'm the one who's always alone

So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin' 4 my sunshine
All I've got is 2 cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine

Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down

Why don't you answer your phone?

Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
17 Days

Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down
17 Days

How come U don't call me anymore?

I keep your picture beside my bed
And I still remember everything u said
I always thought our love was so right
I guess I was wrong
I always thought u'd be by my side
Mama, now u're gone

What I wanna know baby, what we had was good
How come u don't call me anymore?
Yeah

Listen
I still light the fire on a rainy night
I still like it better when u holding me tight
Now hold it
Everybody said, everybody said that we should never part
Oh yeah
I always did think we looked kind of cute together myself
Say to me baby, baby, baby, why, why u wanna go and break my heart?
Why'd u wanna do it?

All I wanna know baby, what we had was good
How come u don't call me anymore?
Why don't u call me girl?

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If u don't call me, mama, girl, u gotta try
Down on my knees beggin' u please, please

Why can't u call me sometime baby, yeah

Just one lousy dime, baby
Why can't u call me sometime?
Oh, no, no
Why on earth can't u just pick up the phone? Yeah 
U know I don't like bein' alone 
Why? 
Why must u torture me?
Why u gotta torment me so?

Another lonely Christmas

Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u should've been there
Cuz all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4

Remember the time we swam naked
In your father's pool?
Boy he was upset that night
But boy was that ever cool

Remember the night we played pokeno 4 money
And u robbed me blind
Remember how u used 2 scream so loud
Cuz u hated that number 9

Hey, I saw your sister skating on the lake
This afternoon
Good Heaven how she's grown
She swoons the boy skaters she's so tall

But of all your father's children
All your father's children, baby
U know, u are the finest of them all
U are brighter than the northern star

Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u, u should've been there
U see, of all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4
Yeah

My momma used 2 say
Always trust your lover
Now I guess that only applies 2 her

Cuz baby u promised me
Baby u promised me u'd never leave
Then u died on the 25th day of December
Oh baby

Last night I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, baby, u, u should've been there
Cuz all the 1s I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4
Yeah

Your father said it was pnemonia
Your mother said it was strep
But the doctor said u were dead
And I, I say its senseless

Every Christmas night 4 7 years now
I drink banana daquaris 'til I'm blind
As long as I can hear u smilin' baby
U won't hear my tears
Another lonely Christmas is mine
Yeah, mine
Yeah
Another lonely Christmas is mine

Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, u should've been there, yeah
Cuz all the 1's I dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 I care 4

Another Lonely

God

In the beginning, there was God
He made the earth, and the heavens
He gave us light to rule the day
And another light to rule the night

The Lord, thy God
Made, He made the seas
He made the fruit upon the trees
When He saw, when He saw that it was good

He made a man, made a man
Only He could, only He could
God made u
God made me too
He made us all
Made us all equally

Now u say
God made u
God made me
He made us all equally

Wake up children
Dance the Dance Electric
There isn't much time
Who screamed?
Was it u?

4 The tears in your eyes

Long ago, there was a man
Change stone 2 bread with the touch of his hand
Made the blind see and the dumb understand

He died 4 the tears in your eyes
Your eyes

Many people came from all around
Hear this man preach, glorious sound
Spoke of man in harmony and love abound

He died 4 the tears in your eyes
Your eyes

Your eyes
Your...eye...

Died 4 the tears in your eyes

4 the tears in your eyes
And the tears of sorrow
4 cents may be all that they're worth
For the rising sun each day assures us
The meek shall inherit the earth
The earth

Faith is a word, we all should try
Describing the man who willingly died
Believe that your hunger, sorrow, and fears 

Is less than the tears in your eyes
Your eyes

Less than the tears in your eyes

4 the tears in your eyes
And the tears of sorrow
4 cents may be all that they're worth (All they're worth)
For the rising sun each day assures us
The meek shall inherit the earth

Say it again...

4 the tears in your eyes
And the tears of sorrow
4 cents may be all that they're worth (All they're worth)
For the rising sun each day assures us
The meek shall inherit the earth
The earth

Thank you

Power fantastic

Late at night, when the world is sleeping
U r frightened, 'cause the Power's creeping
In your room is something u're afraid of
Life or doom is what this feelings made of

Power Fantastic
Is in your life at last
U're a little apprehensive
'Cause what it is is what u want and need

Minor G is the chord of pleasure
It will be played eleven measures
U will see fire, but u're cool as ice
U lie if u say this isn't nice.

Power Fantastic
Is in your life at last
U're a little apprehensive
What it is is what u want and need

Power, Power

Power Fantastic
Is in your life at last
U're a wee bit apprehensive
'Cause what it is is what u want and need

Power, Power, Power Fantastic
