Pork Etiquette

Hair lifts from your arms
And you can feel it in your feet
You can tell me to stop moving
But you still can't stop the beat
Stress is relieved
And all your daily grieves
Nothing's gonna stop you
No one's judging what you eat
'cause once in a while
We all feel we have sinned
But all that's gonna be alright
'cause all the lovin's in the meat
Tears fade away
And the salt that's in your tears
Drops onto your plate
And adds to your tasty meal
Pork etiquette
Pork etiquette
Pork etiquette
Pork!
Pork!
Pork!
Pork!
It's the point in the night
Where it's time to move your feet
Everybody's dancing
But you still can't stop the beat
Crumbs move aside
You don't belong on this wild ride
If you cannot see it
Maybe it's time you take a seat
The plate goes in the trash
That dinner was a blast
Perhaps we'll come back again
And really bring the heat
'cause it's fun to make noise
When it's dinner with the boys
Proper manners go long ways
When you're chewing on the meat
Pork etiquette
Pork etiquette
Pork etiquette
Pork!
Pork!
Pork!
Pork!

Black and Blue

I'm a man of my word someone who most can trust
And can always be forbearing
Every penny I've earned has gone to heal
Others open wounds
And when the stitches all sealed then I don't mind
To treat myself to a little pudding
But it's mostly cause I need to live a little too
And even in the darkest days
When there is no heat or lava
And you can glide through the center of the earth
I've been told to smile
Even when I'm angry
And little did I know that it's true
Even though I keep my eyes open
I still see black and blue
All we can do is be sheep
And if it's not stopping soon
Then perhaps I'll grab a drink
'cause in the long haul the night brings out the moon
The night brings out the moon
A day goes by or a year or two
And I still hear voices chanting
It's not a breeze to appease the whole herd
When there's millions of others hiding
And I can count off the top of my head
To numbers numbers higher
If I'm free then when the cattle roam the ranch
Are they as free as I am?
And even in the darkest days
When there is no heat or lava
And you can glide through the center of the earth
I've been told to smile
Even when I'm angry
And little did I know that it's true
Even though I keep my eyes open
I still see black and blue
All we can do is be sheep
And if it's not stopping soon
Then perhaps I'll grab a drink
'cause in the long haul the night brings out the moon
The night brings out the moon
Even though I keep my eyes open
I still see black and blue
All we can do is be sheep
And if it's not stopping soon
Then perhaps I'll grab a drink
'cause in the long haul the night brings out the moon
Even though I keep my eyes open
I still see black and blue
All we can do is be sheep
And if it's not stopping soon
Then perhaps I'll grab a drink
'cause in the long haul the night brings out the moon
'cause in the long haul the night brings out the moon
'cause in the long haul the night brings out the moon

Numpty
05:51
|

|
I’m feeling pretty numpty as I walk in the shop
I’m feeling pretty dizzy like I might cave in and drop
I’m playing with fire but I can’t complain
Because I would rather refrain
From staring at Queens from the dirty old window of a fast moving train
I’d never spill my soup in the parking lot
But other people out there haven’t given much thought
To the burdens that they spit out on to the street
On to the people that they don’t meet
But they’re cruising back to Jersey in that red Ford Taurus when their soup isn’t tasting so sweet
Does it really matter?
When you don’t care what you do
Someone else’s ladder has
Fallen under your shoe
Are you feeling numpty now
That conduct isn’t key
Is your head so deep in a cavern
That you just can’t see
Are you looking out your window cos you think someone’s there?
Did a little rattle shake you and tug at all of the hairs?
That like to stand up when you don’t feel right, that make you shudder in the middle of the night well the person that you’re staring at smiles and waves and he says that no ones there.
Does it really matter?
When you don’t care what you do
Someone else’s ladder has
Fallen under your shoe
Are you feeling numpty now
That conduct isn’t key
Is your head so deep in a cavern
That you just can’t see
Does it really matter?
When you don’t care what you do
Someone else’s ladder has
Fallen under your shoe
Are you feeling numpty now
That conduct isn’t key
Is your head so deep in a cavern
That you just can’t see
Are you feeling numpty now
That conduct isn’t key
Is your head so deep in a cavern
That you just can’t see

Dale the Celebrity

Yesterday I went strolling strolling through the peaceful streets
Looking just find a spot where I can rest my feet
Maybe just a cold one or anywhere with a seat
Perhaps I may even grab a bite to eat
A stranger he approached me he asked for my autograph
I couldn't seem to find a pen and I started to laugh
If that doesn't make your day I sure don't know what can
All I did was shrug it off and left
It's the life of me
Dale the celebrity
All I need is my liquor and some weed
But that's not gonna stop all the paparazzi
Paparazzi takes pictures of me
Waiting for the subway standing away from the rail
Then I hear a loud shriek claim "Hey!" isn't that dale
Like hungry dogs they pile around me my vision goes blind
The train just couldn't make it on time
I don't have an answer for this question or that
Not sure who spread that one cause it's not a fact
I must be on my way now please I have no time
No time to live this famous life of mine
It's the life of me
Dale the celebrity
All I need is my liquor and some weed
But that's not gonna stop all the paparazzi
Paparazzi takes pictures of me
I fall down hard
In this life there's pictures all around
I don't know where to start
Every silence just turns into a louder sound
It's the life of me
Dale the celebrity
All I need is my liquor and some weed
But that's not gonna stop all the paparazzi
Paparazzi takes pictures of me
It's the life of me
Dale the celebrity
All I need is my liquor and some weed
But that's not gonna stop all the paparazzi
Paparazzi takes pictures of me
Paparazzi takes pictures of me
Paparazzi takes pictures of me
Paparazzi takes pictures of me

Ol' Ollie Blu
Couldn't see what's in front of him
Wasn't meant for a zoo
One long hard of a life he lived
His condition comes from a gene sort of speak
A ghastly looking devil indeed
The farmer has no use for a boar with a vision far worse than it's breed
With a vision far worse than it's breed
With a vision far worse than it's breed
With a vision far worse than it's breed
With a vision far worse than it's breed
If you look past the eyes
Take out the mouth
There's still that plump ol' boar
You can enjoy with a stout
Run Ollie run Ollie's running for his life
And the farmer's gonna catch him
For that plump ol' boar was born without an eye
Run Ollie run Ollie's running for his life
And the farmer's gonna catch him
For that plump ol' boar was born without an eye
Run Ollie run Ollie's running for his life
And the farmer's gonna catch him
For that plump ol' boar was born without an eye
Run Ollie run Ollie's running for his life
And the farmer's gonna catch him
For that plump ol' boar was born without an eye
Ol' Ollie Blu
Made it through the night on his own
Under heavy pursuit but he's as thick as a stone
The farmer needs his greens or even a meal just to feel alright
I'll get you one day Ollie you can run but you can't hide
You can run but you can't hide
You can run but you can't hide
You can run but you can't hide
You can run but you can't hide
It won't be long
I'll get you one day Ollie
For how far can you run before your toasted by the sun
Run Ollie run Ollie's running for his life
And the farmer's gonna catch him
For that plump ol' boar was born without an eye
Run Ollie run Ollie's running for his life
And the farmer's gonna catch him
For that plump ol' boar was born without an eye
Run Ollie run Ollie's running for his life
And the farmer's gonna catch him
For that plump ol' boar was born without an eye
Run Ollie run Ollie's running for his life
And the farmer's gonna catch him
For that plump ol' boar was born without an eye
For that plump ol' boar was born without an eye
Ollie run Ollie's running for his life

When it's midnight mornin' you ain't ready yet for snorin'
You're gonna call Cannabis Bob
When you need to take the edge off got yourself a rough cough
You're gonna call Cannabis Bob
When you're low on your veggies and you need your green spaghetti
There's only one person at the top
He's standing on the corner with his knee brace supporter
Waiting for you to call Cannabis Bob
He's a grower not a shower what's he's growing isn't corn on the cob
He's got an ugly laceration and he's only known as Cannabis Bob

Burden Song
05:34
|
|||
|
I was born in a little town at the edge of Illinois
Two good folks who fed me well and raised a proper boy
A simple life with simple needs just an acre farm and calf to feed
But little did I know what was next
Took my life away from a ripe young age
I know I know the burden song
Never had to bills to pay
Never reached the marriage
I know I know the burden song
Friends from near and far shared my last night on the town
Had a couple of drinks only smiles all around
Reflecting on the better days times when life was just a game
But hours passed and eventually it was time to say goodnight
Boarded the one way plane
A ticket to a foreign place
I know I know the burden song
No more comfy shirt
Just clothes to be worn in dirt
I know I know the burden song
Well I was brought to be a child who was brought to be a man
Not brought to be a soldier fighting wars as far as Japan
And a child that's brought from lovin' knows only how to love
So when the man's told to do a killin', love is all he's thinking of
I would write home twice a day
Thinking that I might be saved
But help was never on the way
If I had the will to breathe
I would get down on my knees and beg
To live in peace
A random number drawn
And in about a month you're gone
I know I know the burden song
What about those who ach
What's the prize for the price they pay
I know I Know the burden song
I fall down screaming
I know that this is the ending
Face to face with someone I don't even know
A life lead to misery
A dried root on the chicory
Is all I have for it to show
I never met Mary Jane
I never kissed in the pouring rain
I know I know the burden song
I never had a job to do
I never saw such a gorgeous view
I know I know the burden song
Well I was brought to be a child who was brought to be a man
Not brought to be a soldier fighting wars as far as Japan
And a child that's brought from lovin' knows only how to love
So when the man's told to do a killin', love is all he's thinking of
Well I was brought to be a child who was brought to be a man
Not brought to be a soldier fighting wars as far as Japan
And a child that's brought from lovin' knows only how to love

A Key to a City
03:57
|
|||
|
Scurry out the window
Skip and bounce until you find a way home
Fall in and you dip low
You dance and dive beneath the foam
Nobody made it easy
I didn’t get the point when I heard them say
That the friends they make are sleazy
It troubles me until this day
Come on and make it simple and to my feet
Kindly cast a key so I can meet
The whole entire city
'cause it was shrouded in mystery
Now they let me in there
I’m making up the rules as I play along
But the game has gone to thin air
And that has the players feeling wrong
So I navigate the tight curves
And hope that we’re not heading for a deep end
But the pavement won’t allow swerves
So I guess we made it to our friends
Come on and make it simple and to my feet
Kindly cast a key so I can meet
The whole entire city
'cause it was shrouded in mystery
But I never felt lost
Even if I didn’t quite know the way
But the line we made has been crossed
And we’re wandering until this day
Come on and make it simple and to my feet
Kindly cast a key so I can meet
The whole entire city
'cause it was shrouded in mystery
Come on and make it simple and to my feet
Kindly cast a key so I can meet
The whole entire city
'cause it was shrouded in mystery

The Gopher
05:10

Way underground lives the tale of the gopher
You hear those sounds inch a little closer
Is that fear? You fret about these pests
You're not in the clear cause it isn't over yet
Way underground the gopher hunts its prey
Don't let those cheeks lighten up your day
Cause very soon it'll rise above that dirt
On the full moon you're always on alert
It'll be all over when you mess with the gopher
It'll be all over when you mess with the gopher
It'll be all over when you mess with the gopher
It'll be all over when you mess with the gopher
Now it's near the gopher knows your here
You're nearly knocked down by the running herd of deer
Nowhere to go nowhere to hide there's only fate that's on your side
You can make a dash for the hills you won't get too far away
The clouds move in then they burst and then they roar
The sound of thunder shakes the muddy floor
The time is now the gopher storms knocked to your feet down with the worms
It's just another day for the gopher and it's prey
It'll be all over when you mess with the gopher
It'll be all over when you mess with the gopher
It'll be all over when you mess with the gopher
It'll be all over when you mess with the gopher

Tulu
You never have to run when they're after you
Tulu
You never have to fight when you know kung-fu
Voodoo
An easy little task you can master in
Lulu
Meet your new wife don't drink that gin
Tulu's the man who's as simple as me
Tells all the tales of the birds and the bees
He's the old little fella that's rocking his chair
Another book to read he won't go anywhere
With a fly on his wrist he'll still shoot the shit
Splat on the ground he just won't ever quit
Tulu

Tulu
He should've ran for president he knows a bit
Tulu
He was born this way he didn't ask for it
Emu
His wild little pet he doesn't believe in a cage
Tutu
Everything looks better when you start to age
Tulu's the man who's as simple as me
Tells all the tales of the birds and the bees
He's the old little fella that's rocking his chair
Another book to read he won't go anywhere
With a fly on his wrist he'll still shoot the shit

They broke the night in clusters and packs (Oh Tulu)
I write this away under ground below cracks (Where did you go)
If I'm not melting I'm waiting (What did they say, did they hurt you)
For someone to take me away from this place (Oh Tulu)
They broke the night in clusters and packs (Oh Tulu)
