I remember one night the kid cut off his right arm
In a fit to save a bit of power He got fifty thousand watts In a big acoustic tower Security's so tight tonight Oh they're ready for a tussle Gotta keep your backstage passes 'Cause your promoter had the muscle And so it goes and so it goes And so it goes and so it goes But where it's goin' no one knows And so it goes and so it goes And so it goes and so it goes But where it's goin' no one knows In the tall building sit the head of our nations Worthy men from Spain and Siam All day discussions with the Russians But they still went ahead and vetoed the plan Now up jumped the U.S. representative He's the one with the tired eyes 747 put him in that condition Flyin' back from a peace keepin' mission In the air there's after shave lotion in the wake of a snakey Persian On his arm there's a skin tight vision Wonder why she ain't mine shes his But where it's goin' no one knows |

Once I was a soldier
I rode on a big white horse Silver pistols at my side Carryin' the flags of war And I Iost track of the men who fell In the canon's roar I never got over bein' a soldier Once I was a tax man Collectin' dollars and dimes I heard the rich man grumble I heard the poor man cry Some few couldn't afford to pay Were put to a shackle and key I never got over bein' a tax man Once I was a ruler About twelve inches long Three times me made a yardstick 36 inches high 36 inches high was I 36 inches high I never got over 36 inches high |

Marie Provost did not look her best
The day the cops bust into her lonely nest In the cheap hotel up on Hollywood West July 29 She'd been lyin' there for two or three weeks The neighbors said they never heard a squeak For hungry eyes that could not speak Said even little doggie's have got to eat She was the winner That became the doggie's dinner She never meant that much to me Woe, poor Marie Marie Provost was a movie queen Mysterious angel of the silent screen And run like the wind the nation's young men steam When Marie crossed the silent screen Oh she came out west from New York But when the talkies came Marie just couldn't cope Her public said Marie take a walk All the way back to New York She was the winner That became the doggie's dinner She never meant that much to me But now I see, poor Marie Those twin balms didn't help her sleep As her nights grew long and her days grew bleak It's all downhill once you've passed your peak Mary got ready for that last big sleep The cops came in and they looked around Throwing up everywhere over what they found The handywork of Marie's little dachshund That hungry little dachshund She was the winner That became the doggie's dinner She never meant that much to me Woe, poor Marie Poor Marie, poor Marie, poor poor Marie Poor Marie, poor Marie, poor Marie |

I made an American squirm
And it feel so right On the screen was the musical war Deep deep into the night Yes i was spreading In the wonderful world Everything was fine Tried to mate in hot of the state Deep deep into the night It goes on and on and on It goes on and on and on But I thank you for the time Yes, I thank you for the time I killed the time It goes on and on and on It goes on and on and on It goes on and on and on But the funky for the time Yes, I thank you for the time I killed the time I made an American squirm And it feel so right On the screen was the comical time Deep deep into the night Deep deep into the night Deep deep into the night It goes on and on and on |

Cracking up, I'm getting ready to go
Had enough, I can't take any more No pills that I can take This is too real and there ain't no escape It scare the daylights It make a nightmare I'm tense and I'm nervous Everybody all around me Shakin' hands and sayin' howdie I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up, Like a worn out shoe Ain't wet, but the world leakin' through I'd run, but I find no pace I laugh, but it's wrecking me Wrecking me It make a shiver, it make a shake It make a monster, just like an earthquake Everybody havin' fun I don't know how they can carry on 'Cause I don't think it's funny no more At dead of night time, at crack of dawn It comes upon me without warning If I were a gunman I would shoot I'd tear the hair out by the root I'd make a knife out of a notion All at sea in an ocean of a emotion I don't think it's funny no more I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up I don't think it's funny no more Cracking up |

From my humble point of view
She don't love nobody Nothin' borrowed, nothin' blue She don't love nobody Behind the green eyes I detect She don't love nobody Her heart no kiss could resurrect She don't love nobody All of her life She's been told to hang on tight There's a man who'd make her his wife But she's not interested in anything mama said She throws passion to the wind She don't love nobody She don't give out but she don't give in She don't love nobody And if I could I'd make her mine But she don't love nobody And she would never walk that line She don't love nobody All of my life I've been told to hang on tight There's a girl who'd be my wife But I'm not interested in anything mama said I want the girl who does not need She don't love nobody She's the one my heart receives She don't love nobody She don't love nobody She don't love nobody She don't love nobody She don't love nobody She don't love nobody She don't love nobody |

Taking nothing but his daddy's old bone-grip knife
He traded but a little for the wayward life A faint heart never won fair hand So says the Rose of England From a-high on a hill came the clarion call To game young men, come one, come all Make muster 'gainst the foreign hand That's raised to the Rose of England For her feckless boy she did weep and wail Saying, Lord have mercy where did I fail? Out my belly, then pick up a gun And fall for the Rose of England God knows it's a cold outside It's a fire by day and a freeze by night I know it's a hell out there How loud the mouth when the heart don't care He's damned if he don't, and damned if he do He'd die if he ever found out we knew Hot potato, drop it and run Far from the Rose of England |

Well the bride looked a picture
In the gown that her mama wore When she was married herself Nearly 27 years before They had to change the style a little But it looked just fine Stayed up all night But they got it finished just in time Now on the arm of her daddy She's walkin' down the aisle I see her catch my eye And give me a secret smile Maybe it's too old fashioned But we once were close friends Oh but the way that she looks today She never could've then Well I can see her now In her tight blue jeans Pumpin all her money In the record machine Spinnin' like a top You should have seen her go [Chorus:] I knew the bride When she used to rock'n'roll I knew the bride When she used to rock'n'roll I knew the bride When she used to rock'n'roll I knew the bride When she used to rock'n'roll Well her proud daddy Only wanna give his little girl the best An so he ut down a grand On a cosy ittle lover's nest You could have called her reception An unqualified success At a flash hotel For a 150 guests Well take a look at the bridegroom Smillin' pIeased as pie Shakin' hands all around With a glassy look in his eye He got a real good job An his shirt and tie is nice But I remember a time When she never would've looked at him twice Well I can see her now Drinkin' with the boys Breakin' their hearts Like they were toys She used to do the pony Used to do the stroll [Chorus] Well I can see her now With her Walkman on Jumpin' up and down To her favorite song I still remember when she used to Want to make a lot of noise Hoppin' and a boppin' With the street corner boys She used to want to party Used to want to go |
