How I wished my folks were gracious hosts and not dismayed
But wit and wisdom take a backseat girl when you're that afraid Oh no, bring her home and the folks look ill My word, they can't forget, they never will They can hear the storm troops on our lawn when I show her in And the Frau is alive and well in our panelled den Oh no, bring her home and the folks look ill My word, they can't forget that war, what a war My word, she's from Germany Well, it's the same old country but the people have changed My word... Germany With its splendid castles and its fine cuisine Well, the car I drive is parked outside, it's German-made They resent that less than the people who are German-made Oh no, bring her home and the folks look ill My word, they can't forget that war, what a war, some war My word... Germany Well, it's the same old country but the people have changed My word... Germany With its splendid castles and its fine cuisine, its lovely German women And its wonderful rivers that do flow from her hills My word, she's from Germany Well, it's the same old country but the people have changed My word, she's from Germany With its splendid castles and its fine cuisine My word, she's from Germany Well, it's the same old country but the people have changed My word, she's from Germany With its splendid castles and its fine cuisine My word, she's from Germany Well, it's the same old country but the people have changed My word, she's from Germany With its splendid castles, its fine cuisine, its lovely German women and you and me! |

NOTHING...no nothing, IS...is, SACRED ...no sacred, ANY MORE
Adding some of this to some of that Madame Science wins again We are now forever people, we'll outlive our will to live Nothing is sacred any more Nothing is sacred any more Nothing is sacred any more I remember when I needed you several billion years ago If you'll hang on just a trifle more I might need you once again Nothing is sacred any more Nothing is sacred any more Nothing is sacred any more I am sure you will appreciate your new found leisure time I am sure we will appreciate our new found leisure time Nothing is sacred any more Nothing is sacred any more Nothing is sacred any more Nothing is sacred any more Well, if you have the money I've got time And if you know a honey I've got time If you have the money I've got time And if you know a honey I've got time Nothing is sacred any more Nothing is sacred any more Nothing is sacred any more... |

When I spot a driver worth a second glance
Foot to floorboard, impact soon achieved Here comes Bob, I ain't subtle in my ways of making friends Girl this rubbled mess was caused by my neglect Of course I'll pay and by the way my dear Here comes Bob I ain't subtle in my ways of making friends But here comes Bob Sometimes I will stoop to hitting two-door coupes without the frills But that is just for casual acquaintances, for stripped-down thrills Your car girl or mine it doesn't matter doesn't matter no But for affairs with staying power I go after limousines It's always nice when something big is acting as your go-between For a group encounter I'll hit busses, mobile homes or trains to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania It's hard to make acquaintances in our big town Most eyes stare at nothing much at all But here comes Bob I ain't subtle in my ways of making friends, friends, acquaintances Instant adulation comes to some at birth Born to queens or corporate entities But here comes Bob Someday they'll put me away I'll think back on active days Most were worth the minor scars Some were worth the damaged cars And the judge will say to me "Bob, You've got a bad means to a worthwhile end" An end Well, here comes Bob |

I heard somewhere that they're stamping, trampling all upon you
Your pocked face remains impassive though I know it hurts you Moon over Kentucky Take me with you Full moon over Kentucky Leave this mooring and seek some new rendezvous Cut your ties with this possessive mother, she'll destroy you Cut your ties and find another one who will respect you Moon over Kentucky Take me with you Full moon over Kentucky Leave this mooring and seek some new rendezvous You've been waiting for your first encounter, what a letdown I'm just finishing my first encounter, what a letdown Moon over Kentucky Take me with you Full moon over Kentucky Leave this mooring and seek some new rendezvous |

See private parts in public school
They look so odd, try something else Unnatural acts, consent implied No one objects to Angus Desire No interviews please, no interviews please Life's not so free for stockyard femme fatale Nor is my life carefree and serene All this comes free with Angus Desire Summer heat ebbs, romance denied It's back to school, that good-old college try Why don't you stay with your own kind Let's not admire Angus Desire (Angus in the summer waltzing with her friends) |

Why don't you please go with me underground
Down under seas, you and me underground Once I dreamed I was on a basement tape Took in just one take Oh Lord, we gained our world distribution by relevant means Jazz folk-rock fusion appealed to the teens Why don't ya please go with me underground Where love is free and supergroups can be found Take the plunge now deep into the earth Where heavy sets do lurk Oh you and I and mystery follows close at our heels Whispering secrets and travelling concealed Down under cities and the roots of the trees Oh how I love you in times such as these We shall sail off over rainbows till we spy the lands that come together Smiles will greet us, heads will turn to meet us as we make the scene, as we would make the scene Oh won't you please go with me underground Oh won't you please go with me underground Oh won't you please please |

I brought it home and I opened it up
And a smile came to my face for the first time in a while Yes a smile came to my face for the first time in a while I turned it on But nothing happened when I did Nothing happened at all I kicked it down the stairs I threw it at the wall Hey kid, batteries not included |

Whippings and apologies
Over and over they did it to her when she disagreed Whippings and apologies Over and over and over and over You know it's not right For she has holy water running through her veins And now it's me that she hates, it's me that she hates |
