Do you find your kisses gone
when she kisses everyone ? Mmm...pretty, pretty eyes didn't she take you by surprise ? She will lose you sleep under horizontal command She will kick... kick you, kick you down at heel Two shoes, Toulouse you lose Kiss-yous, miss-yous what's the use p.s? "I loved you", and she smiled the caustic croon of something wild She will lose you sleep under horizontal command She will kick... kick you, kick you down at heel Pretty baby, pretty heart, pretty pretty pretty high, pretty low, Pretty angel, pretty pretty pretty dumb, pretty smart. I-I-don't know what to do, To keep myself in love with you. Life is made of ones and twos I just know I'm going to lose. She will lose you sleep under horizontal command She will kick... kick you, kick you down at heel Pretty baby, pretty heart, pretty pretty pretty high, pretty low, Pretty angel, pretty pretty pretty dumb, pretty smart. Pretty baby, pretty heart, pretty pretty pretty sound, pretty sharp, Pretty angel, pretty angel pretty pretty pretty pretty Pretty baby, pretty heart, pretty pretty pretty high, pretty low, ..and she smiled |

Yes.. please let it begin
I want you to smile within, Oh, a moment on the arm of wonder. What, what more can I ask, than for you to look at me, whisper to me, show me you'll be wrapped about me. Tell me, tell me, tell me everything you and I can share within, Oh, the darker moments vanish into air. Breathe me, I am air Touch me, I am sky, Breathe me, like the first time. I hold you in my heart Touch you, with my eyes, Breathe me, like the first time. What, what more can I ask than for you to look at me, wondrously, and say "I love you", say you love me. Tell me, tell me everything you and I can feel within Oh, the darker moments vanish into air. Breathe me, I am air Touch me, I am sky, Breathe me, like the first time. I hold you in my heart Touch you, with my eyes, Breathe me, like the first time |

Sunshine on your upturned face,
Everything falls into place Blue sky above, sand underfoot The happiest I have seen you look. Sunrise stirs the low landscape, More beauty than your breath can take, Boats out to sea, gulls in the air, I might look as if I didn't care. Careful with me, careful with my heart, The world keeps turning, my world falls apart, When you're out of reach from me When you're out of reach from me Fool or wise no inbetween I've been both and I can't win If this love should suffer sudden death, It won't be because I'm not myself I don't forget I depend upon the simple fact you turn my heart over,over,over,over,over. Careful with me, careful with my heart, The world keeps turning, my world falls apart, When you're out of reach from me When you're out of reach from me |

a beautiful woman she rose
from the smokin' waters of the lake with a candle that burned in each palm my teeth each sank gently to the floor bring me some luck little junebug your cousins they're gods to the seas the march afternoons the sun and the moon before I fall asleep a white blood of wolves must be drained and that sorry captain howdy scatters my bones for the lambs bring me some luck little junebug your cousins they're gods to the seas the march afternoons the sun and the moon |

the toothless kiss of skeletons
and the summer hail I'm the king of nails I drink my liquor from the palm of a child who spoke in tongues and smelled like sun give all your leaves to the ghosts in the trees to sink or to shine the nails are all mine and blood was rushing up the stairs I shut my eyes and killed the cock when the sun came knocking oh to taste the salty oil of your chest and on your eyes when the sting is on the rise sleep in the fire with snakes I have sired to sink or to shine the nails are all mine I drink my liquor from the palm of a child who spoke in tongues and smelled like sun the toothless kiss of skeletons and the summer hail I'm the king of nails give all your leaves to the ghosts in the trees to sink or to shine the nails are all mine sleep in the fire with snakes I have sired to sink or to shine the nails are all mine |

A flock of knives cut the sky
And buried in my black eyes And the clouds they bled in my head And autumn rains soaked the dry beds And the hurricane of her eyes Willed away the knives The knives of summertime Summertime The knives of summertime Summertime The knives of summertime And I did swallow stained glass tears Absorbed by the sun for many light years And the fireflies in her hair My red concertina's coming down the stairs And the hurricane of her eyes Willed away the knives The knives of summertime Summertime The knives of summertime Summertime The knives of summertime |

is your jewellery still lost in the sand
out on the coast, or rushed into the brine? you left your rings on the shoreline so you wouldn't lose them swimming in the shallows a plastic shovel, soft sweaty children far from home on vacation not unlike your very own and the Captain Howdy lit upon my shoulder and he left me with sulphur and rooms full of headaches I fell in with snakes in the poisoned ranks of strangers please send me more yellow birds for the dim interior will my pony recognise my voice in hell? will he still be blind, or do they go by smell? will you promise not to rest me out at sea but on a fiery river boat that's rickety? I'll never find my pony along the rolling swell a muddy river or a lake would do me well with hints of amber sundowns and moody thunderstorms a sunken barge's horns, with the cold rusty bells |

In the silver morning hollow
Trembling and getting old Smelling burnt oil of heaven About ten years too big to hold She don't get up when I come into the room She don't run through the fields anymore Built a fire in the kitchen Made her bed by the stove Took a walk to the graveyard But she didn't want to go She don't worry all them murders of crows Even though they was always out of reach She don't get up when I come into the room She don't run through the fields anymore |

we were both standing
in your mother's living room sweating up a storm in that terrible month of June and the sweat rolled down your cheek and into your mouth I knew this must've been a dream 'cos you're mother would never let me in her house you are the most beautiful widow you are the most beautiful widow you are the most beautiful widow in town many years later the glassy month of December I stood with my hands in my pockets trying to avoid a shiny wedding portrait hanging on that old woman's wall 'cos I knew you'd be wearing a smile that'd be too painful to look upon you are the most beautiful widow I bet you are the most beautiful widow I bet you are the most beautiful widow in town |

Once I was a big old bear
Reigning blows on sparkly snares In the woods after the snow The white noise witch her hammer's cold Rest beneath the pine and rose In our suits and Sunday clothes Cheer up my brother It's gonna be alright I know your hearts are heavy as mountains But we're gonna go back home one day Hang there little winter star Tell me who you really are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky Born with honey in my hair Once I was a big old bear Cheer up my brother It's gonna be alright I know your hearts are heavy as mountains But we're gonna go back home one day Wore my dress up to my knees There's ghosts of babies in the streams |

(Daniel Dale Johnston)
in clusters we move through a farm somewhere far off the thunder roaring and the fortune teller has fixed her sweetly eyes on my child sometimes I climb high up in a tree and let the wind blow in my face sometimes I leave my cares lying in piles somewhat disturbing is the sound of her singing when you know you don't deserve it you're not here today I feel just like an empty eggshell my yoke is heavy my yoke is heavy my voice is a little horse galloping lost through the woods calling your name it's new to me but just the same the earth is an old canvas painted over many times the poet rambles the world it scrambles but who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men your shadow knows it's right behind you all the way your shadow knows where you've been my yoke is heavy my yoke is heavy my yoke is heavy sacred is the smile that opened up my mind and asked me come save me and rid my cold cold heart of the dark deep gloom that took up so much room and my many spacious memories my yoke is heavy my yoke is heavy my yoke is heavy |

I brought myself to your attention,
for someone in my situation the biggest crime against love is having none Not a million miles from here, not over there there's someone here, an obvious and eager volunteer I'm never not going to do this I'm never not going to feel this way I'm never not going to do this I'm never not going to again Who could help but be... Won over, Who could help but be Won over, Who could help but be Won over, Simple things forgotten.. I celebrate with a goodwill that could raise your shoulder high Tine detail stowed away with things you've said I keep them all like nuggets in my heart to marvel at I'm never not going to do this I'm never not going to feel this way I'm never not going to do this I'm never not going to again Who could help but be... Won over, Who could help but be Won over, Who could help but be Won over, Won over, You can't help but be Won over, You can't help but be Won over, |

circus people with hairy little hands come on boys strike up the army band I got sunburnt waiting for the jets how do you feel? how do you feel? I can't seem to see through solid marble eyes fiery pianos wash up on a foggy coast squeaky old organs have given up the ghost fire them up and kill the pianos there's creaky old organs burning on the coast how do you feel? how do you feel?
