This is where the party ends
I can't stand here listening to you And your racist friend I know politics bore you But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you And your racist friend It was the loveliest party that I've ever attended If anything was broken I'm sure it could be mended My head can't tolerate this bobbing and pretending Listen to some bullet-head and the madness that he's saying This is where the party ends I'll just sit here wondering how you Can stand by your racist friend I know politics bore you But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you You and your racist friend This is where the party ends I can't stand here listening to you And your racist friend I know politics bore you But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you And your racist friend Out from the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway Your friend apologizes, he could see it my way He let the contents of the bottle do the thinking Can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding This is where the party ends I can't stand here listening to you And your racist friend I know politics bore you But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you And your racist friend |

It's your own worst enemy
Ringing the bell on the door And the person inside says nobody's home So your own worst enemy peeks inside And sees you softly weeping as some music fills the room And the song they play Is that guy with the messed up face Going, precious and few are the moments that you And your own worst enemy share Full bottle in front of me Time to roll up my sleeves And get to work And after many glasses of work I get paid in the brain And the song they play Is that guy with the messed up face Going, precious and few are the moments that you And your own worst enemy share And the song they play Is that guy with the messed up face Going, precious and few are the moments that you And your own worst enemy share It's your own worst enemy |

You'll always miss my big old body
In its prime and never shoddy, While bloodhounds wait down in the lobby you'll eulogize my big old body You'll miss me with effigies Lighting up your house like Xmas trees As tears roll down below your knees You'll miss me with effigies Go find a man to fit my shoes Left one's old and the right one's new And I bought the right one just for you Go find a man to fit my shoes You'll see my teeth in the stars above Every tree a finger of my glove And every time push comes to shove You'll see my teeth in the stars above Your money talks but my genius walks Morticians wait with a shovel and a fork As detectives trace my hands with chalk Your money talks but my genius walks You'll miss me so You will miss me It must be raining because a man ain't supposed to cry But I look up and I don't see a cloud |

Content versus form Fighting for their place in rock and roll There is no right or wrong Just when you think it's finished With XTC on top Ant music, like a phoenix Flies back up the charts XTC versus Adam Ant Only one will survive Beatle-based pop versus new romantic History will decide XTC versus Adam Ant I can't tell you why Even the singer from Bow Wow Wow Can't make up her mind XTC versus Adam Ant Time is marching on XTC versus Adam Ant There is no right or wrong There is no right or wrong There is No right Or wrong |

from They Might Be Giants - Why Does The Sun Shine (1994)
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace Where hydrogen is built into helium At a temperature of millions of degrees Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not A place where we could live But here on Earth there'd be no life Without the light it gives We need its light We need its heat We need its energy Without the sun, without a doubt There'd be no you and me The sun is a mass of incandescent gas A gigantic nuclear furnace Where hydrogen is built into helium At a temperature of millions of degrees The sun is hot It is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, aluminum, and many others. The sun is large If the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside. And yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star. The sun is far away About 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small. And even when it's out of sight The sun shines night and day The sun gives heat The sun gives light The sunlight that we see The sunlight comes from our own sun's Atomic energy Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium.* The sun is a mass of incandescent gas A gigantic nuclear furnace Where hydrogen is built into helium At a temperature of millions of degrees Notes *Live versions of this song are improvised extensively. Some variants on this section: Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light of the sun are caused by the nuclear reaction between hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and helium. Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light from the sun come from the nuclear reaction between oxygen, hydrogen, helium, and hydrogen. You know, Frank, scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light from the sun are caused by the nuclear reaction between hydrogen and you, Frank O'Toole. Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light from the sun come from the nuclear reaction between hydrogen, nitrogen, helium, carbon, boron, chloron, fluoron, moron, and estrogen |

A woman came up to me and said
"I'd like to poison your mind With wrong ideas that appeal to you Though I am not unkind." She looked at me, I looked at something Written across her scalp And this is what it faintly said As I tried to call for help: CHORUS There's only one thing That I know how to do well And I've often been told that you only can do What you know how to do well And that's be you Be what you're like Be like yourself And so I'm having a wonderful time But I'd rather be whistling in the dark There's only one thing that I like And that is whistling in the dark A man came up to me and said "I'd like to change your mind By hitting with a rock," he said, "Though I am not unkind." We laughed at his little joke and then I merrily walked away And hit my head on the wall of the jail Where the two of us live todaay CHORUS |

Push me in the face again Push me in the face again Push me in the face Didn't really like I didn't really like The last time when you pushed me in the face Didn't really like the last time when you pushed my face In the Jungle Now you will be with me Put your hand in my hand Lift up the rock and see all the things That live in the jungle with us Put your hand near the bug We are so much like them See how the bug reacts to your hand In the same way as I do |

Where your eyes don't go a filthy scarecrow waves its broomstick arms
And does a parody of each unconscious thing you do When you turn around to look it's gone behind you On its face it's wearing your confused expression Where your eyes don't go Where your eyes don't go a part of you is hovering It's a nightmare that you'll never be discovering You're free to come and go or talk like Kurtis Blow But there's a pair of eyes in back of your head Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders What the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of Should you worry when the skull head is in front of you Or is it worse because it's always waiting where your eyes don't go? Where your eyes don't go a part of you is hovering It's a nightmare that you'll never be discovering You're free to come and go or talk like Kurtis Blow But there's a pair of eyes in back of your head Where your eyes don't go a filthy scarecrow waves its broomstick arms And does a parody of each unconscious thing you do When you turn around to look it's gone behind you On its face it's wearing your confused expression Where your eyes don't go |

There's a knock at the door that I adore
There's a face at the window, a smiling yellow face There's a knock at the door And if I were at home they'd find me there There's a note on the door that I would see And the furniture's barely been moved from where it was There's a note on the door And the note would say when it rains it snows When it rains it snows, I wonder why And now I know that when it rains it snows There's a nut with a shotgun bang bang bang There's a doctor, a waitress, a fireman with a hat There's a nut with a gun There's enough so they'll never know which one When it rains it snows, I wonder why And now I know that when it rains it snows |

She set your goldfish free
And now she's sighing Blew out your pilot light And made a wish She doesn't have to have her db's records back now But there's not a lot of things That she'll take back CHORUS She wants to see you again She wants to see you again See you twisting in the wind She's not your satellite She doesn't miss you So turn off your smoke machine And Marshall stack She doesn't have to have Her Young Fresh Fellows tape back But there's not a lot of things That she'll take back CHORUS |

There were 87 Advil in the bottle now there's 30 left
I ate 47 so what happened to the other 10? Why do you suspiciously change the subject and break my concentration As I dump the bottle out and I count the Advil up again? Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thought Have some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself And I'm not done And I won't be till my head falls off Hitting every pocket on my shirt, pants and overcoat And I'm hitting them again but I don't know where I put my notes Clearing my throat, and gripping the lectern I smile and face my audience Clearing his throat and smiling with his hands on the bathroom sink And when I lean my head against the frosted shower stall I see stuff through the glass that I don't recognize at all And I'm not done And I won't be till my head falls off Though it may not be a long way off I'm not done talking yet I'm not done talking yet And when I lean my head against the frosted shower stall I see a broken figure silhouetted on the wall And I'm not done And I won't be till my head falls off Though it may not be a long way off I won't be done until my head falls off |

Love sees love's happiness
But happiness can't see that love is sad That love is sad Sadness is hanging there To show love somewhere something needs a change They need a change They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane To take the house he built for her apart To make it break it's gonna take a metal ball hung from a chain They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane To pick the broken ruins up again To mend her heart, to help him start to see a world apart from pain Lad's gal is all he has Gal's gladness hangs upon the love of lad The love of lad Some things gal says to lad aren't meant as bad But cause a little pain They cause him pain They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane To take the house he built for her apart To make it break it's gonna take a metal ball hung from a chain They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane To pick the broken ruins up again To mend her heart, to help him start to see a world apart from pain Don't call me at work again no no the boss still hates me I'm just tired and I don't love you anymore And there's a restaurant we should check out where The other nightmare people like to go I mean nice people, baby wait, I didn't mean to say nightmare Lad looks at other gals Gal thinks Jim Beam is handsomer than lad He isn't bad Call off the wedding band Nobody wants to hear that one again Play that again They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane To take the house he built for her apart To make it break it's gonna take a metal ball hung from a chain They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane To pick the broken ruins up again To mend her heart, to help him start to see a world apart from pain They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane They'll need a crane |

I know you deceived me, couldn't sleep last night
Now my tear stains on the wall reflect an ugly sight I can see your secrets No need to confess Everyone looks naked when you know the world's address The world's address A place that's worn A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess I'll repeat it for those who may not have already guessed The world's address Life's parade of fashion just leaves me depressed Under every garment I can see the world's address Call the men of science and let them hear this song Tell them Albert Einstein and Copernicus were wrong The world's address A place that's worn A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess I'll repeat it for those who may not have already guessed The world's address Call the men of science and let them hear this song Tell them Albert Einstein and Copernicus were wrong The world's address A place that's worn A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess I'll repeat it for those who may not have already guessed The world's address A place that's worn A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess I'll say it one more time for those who may not have already guessed The world's address ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By LINNELL, JOHN / FLANSBURGH, JOHN <i>Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

The famous person wears the same size water skis as me
She's got three cars, as many years I've lived in this city Her hair is blond and mine is brown, they both start with a B But when the phone inside her rib cage rings, it's not for me But when the phone inside her rib cage rings, it's not for me |

The bells are ringing
The song they're singing The sound is bringing the people 'round They hear the instructions They follow directions They travel great distances to the sound The bells are ringing The song they're singing The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round) They follow directions They travel great distances to the sound (they travel great distances to the sound) They are persuaded by the music of the bells They're not responsible for anything they do (No) The people know (No) The way to go The bells are ringing, they hear the sound They hear the sound (they hear the sound) They hear the sound (they hear the sound) They hear the sound (they hear the sound) They hear the sound The bells are ringing And everyone's walking With arms extended in a trance Forgetting their washing Neglecting the children They're dropping all businesses at hand A voice is telling them to act a different way They tilt their heads so they won't miss what it will say (No) And when it's so (No) There's this to know The bells are ringing, they hear the sound The bells are ringing The song they're singing The sound is bringing the people 'round They hear the instructions They follow directions They travel great distances to the sound They are persuaded by the music of the bells They're not responsible for anything they do (No) The people know (No) The way to go The bells are ringing, they hear the sound A girl with cotton in her ears Is shielded from the bells' effect As if by hidden signal The people turn to face her One thousand eyes are staring They pull away her earplugs The bells are pealing And they're revealing The simple key to happiness It isn't evil It isn't good It's only what the people miss The bells explain what they've been lacking all along They were disorganized and that was what was wrong (No) And now they know (No) The way to go The bells are ringing, they hear the sound The bells are ringing The song they're singing The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round) They follow directions They travel great distances to the sound (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) The bells are ringing (bringing the people 'round) The song they're singing The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round) They follow directions They travel great distances to the sound (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) The bells are ringing (bringing the people 'round) The song they're singing The sound is bringing the people 'round (the bells are ringing the song they're singing the sound is) They hear the instructions (bringing the people 'round) They follow directions They travel great distances to the sound (they travel great distances to the sound |
