Sitting here with a broken heart
wishing you'd come home oh Sitting here with breakin' hearts I just can't go on Oh! Grief has got a hold on me I can't think for myself It's all because that woman of mine Making love to someone else I'm turnin' green from bein' blue Without your face around You found another to do your lovin' And me you have put down And I'm Sitting here with a broken heart wishing you'd come home oh Sitting here with breakin' hearts I just can't go on ooooooooh! I'm trudging water all through the house I thought it was from my leakin' sink I phoned the plumber to rush right over and see if he could fix this leak He rushed right over and he took a look And much to my surprise He said "My son it's not your sink, It's teardrops from your eyes" Oh! Sitting here with a broken heart wishing you'd come home oh Sitting here with breakin' hearts I just can't go on You can't miss what you can't measure That's what they tried to make me see (Shorties?!?) around I know for sure What's in store for me Sitting here with a broken heart wishing you'd come home oh Sitting here with breakin' hearts I just can't go on Aaaaaaaaaaah! I chew my nails off one by one I only got one to go Unless I get what I been missin' Nails I'll have no more My nerves are shot I smoke a lot in my loneliness And until I see your face once again my lonely heart won't rest And I'm Sitting here with a broken heart wishing you'd come home oh Sitting here with breakin' hearts I just can't go on Sitting here with a broken heart wishing you'd come home oh Sitting here with breakin' hearts I just can't go on You can't miss what you can't measure That's what they tried to make me see But as long as (Shorties?!?) are around I know what's in store for me You can't miss what you can't measure That's what they tried to make me see (Shorties?!?) around I know for sure What's in store for me You can't miss what you can't measure That's what they tried to make me see (Shorties?!?) around I know for sure What's in store for me |

February 12th, 1973
The prayers of thousands were answered The war was over and the first of the prisoners returned Needless to say it was the happiest day in up to thirteen years for most Others, the real nightmare had just begun The nightmare of readjustment and for those, we will pray ah aaaooooahaha ooooo Woah oh oah Woah oh oah Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh woah Woah oh oah Woah oh oah Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh woah Woah oh oah Woah oh oah Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh woah Woah oh oah Woah oh oah Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh woah Woah oh oah Woah oh oah Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh woah Father, bless the soldier who has returned home from the war He has fought with all his might yet he knew not for what or who he was fighting for Death waited in the shadows as he crawled by night for his country his enemies was many including the habit he still cannot break Father, we pray that we might understand what has happened to his mind and help us understand his reaction to the changes that has taken place here at home And Father, smile upon us with your grace, for we will need you more than ever help him understand that when his loved ones remarried they were truly under the impression that he was dead and would never return Oh Lord, we pray And Father, why must wars be fought? Someone said this war ended with "Peace with Honor" but can that truly be? Is there such a thing? Thousands of boys gave their life, and for what? Do anybody know? Oh Lord, give us the strength to undertand ourselves For we are a mysterious animal Man And as the boys march home to the witch's castle They will all need your help I can hear them calling, calling out to you Father for there is no one else that can help Smile upon us, oh Lord For we are very weak Very weak Very Weak Very weak Very weak |

Ah, I awakened from a wet dream in which I was wetless
My imagination could no longer take me there So I slid into my copping haberdashery And gave into the original jones: sex Now my sexy jones was below sea level The hornies occupied my being I was at that stage where most men would say "Hey ho, it's your life or your legs" but I was cooler than that She said, "No compute". I spotted a lady who was also on the prowl I could tell by her makeup plus the scent was there So I sashayed over to her and, uh Spoke of my plan She screamed and said, "Are you asking to make love to me?" I said, "Is pig what's in pork? Or are you gonna play hard after all the trouble you went through to get chosen?" She said, ah, "No compute". Finally, she said, "Uh, I could, uh, probably go for what you're talking about But it's really about my birth control pills." I said, "All looks are not alike, all holes are not a crack." When in doubt vamp, or at least ad-lib "And of course, you know, spit don't make babies." She smiled and said, "No compute". But I could tell she was getting in to it So off we went There was fun to be had, love to be made "Strange", I said to myself, as I laid smoking a last joint before the technic easing of sleep "What a man will go for when the hornies set in." Well suddenly, as she laid there, mouth half open, wig half off, snoring, breath smelling like a 1948 Buick I was sick with the guilties, and she smiled in her sleep As if to say, "All looks are not alike, all holes are not a crack." |
