Mr. Lovable 03:52
lyrics

Mr. Lovable, Mr. Lovable, they all call me Mr. Lovable Mr. Lovable They gave me a wife, the nicest one in town And they gave me the house with the greenest lawn And they gave me a dog who knew his name, and a fireplace, and a lot of cash And some fine Moroccan hash Mr. Lovable When I fall down they all applaud When I look around don't know where I am they all stare in awe And they call my name, and they fiddle with my fame Mr. Lovable So I burned the house with the hash inside And I took the dog and I took the wife and I sent them to the seaside And I took the cash and I buried it Now the lawn is brown and the fireplace And there's still soot on my face When I look around, when I say a word When my nose turns brown, when I lay a turd Everyone's amazed, they all call my name

I'm the Queen of Hearts 03:09
lyrics

Walking hand in hand through a crowded park I can really feel your hand cuz it's starting to get dark A sparrow lights upon a branch and I say look a lark You say it's a sparrow and laugh, causing a spark All the boys are watching, all the ladies too I know I don't deserve it but then who ever asked who Whether life is fair and if folks get their just due Better just to wait around till it happens to you I'm the queen of hearts I'm the queen of hearts I'm the queen of hearts for awhile I know I love you too much baby Flipping through the records on my shelf May be it sounds a little crazy But I've never left nobody for no reason than I'd rather be by myself Welcome to my home, messy to a fright Although I live alone cleaning up just don't seem right Pull the covers off, don't put out the light Nothing can describe quite the way you look tonight I'm the queen of hearts I'm the queen of hearts I'm the queen of hearts

Merrying Man 01:34

You made a merrying man out of me You don't know how many have tried You made a merrying man out of me Your mother's favorite kind Your best friend was jealous from day one I met her on the bridge at Waterfire You told me she'd get over it but she didn't get over it She saw the churchbells ringing in my eyes You made a merrying man out of me And I know I more than changed your life Too bad you won't be marrying me Your best friend made you her wife

My love is just like a walnut tree Someone went and cracked the heart out of me Now everything I give you, play money Now everything I give you Now everything I give you is play money No value No value Maybe I can use it to entertain a small child Maybe I can use it to light some fires by Use it to wipe my behind No value Now everything I give you is just play money No value No value

Brothers sisters fret not for me I'm off to join the U.S. army To fight to keep the airwaves clear of former fearsome Allies like the Taliban, I'll see you with your clothes still on Nieces nephews don't you worry Uncle B's just in a hurry To get off to that California where mom and dad do right to warn you Not to rush off to too quick, just wait until you're thirty-six Please don't fret my dear dead papa Ten or twelve steps never could stop you Raise a glass to celebrate that death is great so don't be late Don't wait for me mi mamasita Me and Pete will be there to meet you At the storied pearly gates that when you die the priest sedates With his hypnotic visions of all the while mumbling of love He tallies up how much he lunched on you they call it extreme suction Friends and lovers don't you pout For I have taken the hard way out Cuz out is where I want to be I don't mean homosexually Out of time and out of space from an extra'restrial race That sleeps beyond where mortals lie and in strange eons even death may die And in strange eons even death may die And in strange eons even death may die

Lion in the grass with your nose in the grass come on Lion in the grass with your tail in the grass come on Lion in the grass with your ears in the grass come on Lion in the grass with your ears in the grass come on I guess you can't hear me cuz you know it can't be good When there's worms crawling around in your head just like Robin Hood Lion in the grass with your ass in the grass come on Flies buzzing around and bees buzzing around come on The flies and the bees are doing some kind of a tango yeah come on Don't tell me that you're going to make me eat it all alone Don't tell me that you'd prefer a steak or a bone Or maybe just a bone

Dandy Lion Salad 03:01
lyrics

I never watched a dandelion go from yellow to white I think it happens at night I never seen a dandelion go from white back to gold It happens, it happens when they are born again And again I had a salad with dandelions once, both the yellow and the green She rubbed a dandelion on my wrist and under my chin See she said you're in love, dandelion says so I said please, do I have to eat this on my knees Or could I have a fork Born again

Rosebush Rosebush 02:28
lyrics

Rosebush rosebush what if you had legs One thing for sure, we'd have to get out of the way We'd have to say rosebush rosebush is coming up our street today Rosebush rosebush what if you had legs, what if you could walk around Go into the convenience store, ask for a slushy and a hotdog Would we make you pay, would we give you any change I think it'd be pretty lonely to be a rosebush with legs I think you'd walk around as if you were walking on E-G-G-S-H-E-L-L-S People would call you names: Smells pretty, but I wouldn't want one dating my daughter You'd give the blossom but the people would not stop to see They'd just see those spiny thorns make them bleed That's why I guess it's good for you and me That you're just standing there Reading the bus schedule Reading the race form Reading the Rosebush rosebush I guess it's pretty good that you've got roots Instead of boots
