1.4th of July
Songwriters:David Albert Alvin
She's waitin' for me when I get home from work
Oh but things just ain't the same
She turns out the light and cries in the dark
And she won't answer when I call her name
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin' fireworks below
And hey baby, it's the 4th of July
Hey baby, it's the 4th of July
She gives me her cheek when I want her lips
Oh but I don't have the strength to go
On the lost side of town in a dark apartment
We gave up trying so long ago
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin' fireworks below
And hey baby, it's the 4th of July
Hey baby, it's the 4th of July
Whatever happened I apologize
Dry your tears and baby
Walk outside, it's the 4th of July
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin' fireworks below
And hey baby, it's the 4th of July
Hey baby, baby and baby take a walk outside
Hey baby, hey baby
Hey baby, it's the 4th of July
Hey baby, don't bother for 3rd of July
We've got into 4th of July
Hey baby, hey baby
2.I See Red
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
She wore blue, her bad luck blue shoes
He wore green for go they went out any way
She and their car wore black through the red light
'Stop I forgot all my memories'
I see red when I see you
Fan belts break at 3 a.m.
I get mad, drinks get spilled
At 5 past 2, I don't feel sad
But then I see you and I see red
I can't look down or I might fall on you
I might follow in your footsteps
I see a showdown at sundown what's the lowdown?
I had to hunt, I had to hunt you up
I see red when I see you
Fan belts break at 3 a.m.
I get mad, drinks get spilled
At 5 past 2, I don't feel sad
But then I see you and I see red
He sees the sun come up and she needs rest
Here comes a creepin' so close to the bed
'Good morning darkness I see your shining face'
She's always thinking about the facts of life
I see red when I see you
Fan belts break at 3 a.m.
I get mad, drinks get spilled
At 5 past 2, I don't feel sad
But then I see you and I see red
3.Los Angeles
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
She had to leave
Los Angeles
All her toys wore out in black and her boys had too
She started to hate every nigger and Jew
Every Mexican that gave her lotta shit
Every homosexual and the idle rich, idle rich
She had to get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out
She gets confused flying over the dateline
Her hands turn red 'cause the days change to night, change in an
instant
The days change to night, change in an instant
She had to leave
Los Angeles
She found it hard to say goodbye to her own best friend
She bought a clock on Hollywood boulevard the day she left
Goodbye on the side, it felt sad, it felt sad
She had to get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out
She gets confused flying over the dateline
Her hands turn red 'cause the days change at night, change in an
instant
The days change at night, change in an instant
The days change at night, change in an instant
4.Adult Books
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
Many, many guys and girls
All real beauties
Everybody making a stab
They hurt themselves
Singles rule the world
Feeding on fresh blood
One track, eye below
The belt
All in a line
All in a line
They're all in a line
Like adult books
I don't understand
Jackie Susann
Meant it that way
Adult books
I don't understand
Jackie Susann
She meant it that way
Clifford shackles Jane
Throws her on the floor
She says, no, no, yes
And he cuts the chains
Do plenty people go for tomato, yes
But he just goes for that special girl who says, no
All in a line
All in a line
They're all in a line
Like adult books
I don't understand
Jackie Susann
Meant it that way
Adult books
I don't understand
Jackie Susann
She meant it that way
All in a line
All in a line
They're all in a line
Like adult books
I don't understand
Jackie Susann
She meant it that way
Adult books
I don't understand
Jackie Susann
She meant it that way
Adult books
I don't understand
Jackie Susann
She meant it that way
Adult books
I don't understand
Jackie Susann
She meant it that way
Adult books
Adult books

7.Soul Kitchen (Record Plant Demo)
Songwriters:John Densmore, Robbie Kreiger, Ray Manzarek, Jim
Morrison
Well, the clock says it's time to close now
I guess I'd better go now
I'd really like to stay here all night
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
Street lights share their hollow glow
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go
Still one place to go
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander, baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Well, your fingers weave quick minarets
Speak in secret alphabets, I light another cigarette
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander, baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander, baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
Well, your fingers weave quick minarets
Speak in secret alphabets, I light another cigarette
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander, baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves
8.Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
Songwriters:Joseph Burke, Al Dubin
Dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the girl I'm, my arms isn't you
Dancing with somebody new when it's you
That my arms are calling to
Dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the girl, I'm my arms isn't you
Dancing with somebody new when it's you
That my arms are calling to
I'm trying to smile once in a while
But I found that it just wouldn't do
Dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the girl, I'm my arms isn't you
9.Little Honey
Songwriters:Dave Alvin, John Doe
Little honey, won't you come over here?
Little honey, we gotta get something clear
Little honey, I promise I won't get mad
If you tell me about a boyfriend that you had
Who lied last night? Who made you mad?
Left you cryin' by the side of the road
Left you cryin' to hitchhike home alone
All alone
Little honey, are you goin' out tonight?
Little honey, I don't want to start a fight
Little honey, if you don't answer me soon
You'll come home tomorrow to an empty room
With a light left on, the door open wide
Window broken and pictures smashed
Window broken and our bed covered in trash
All with trash, I ain't lookin' for fight
Little honey, are you goin' out tonight?
Little honey, won't you please come over here?
Little honey, won't you please bring me a beer?
Little honey, I promise I won't get mad
If you tell me about a boyfriend that you had
'Cause you know I care but what can I do?
Sit here waitin' by the side of the road
Sit here waitin' till you come home alone
All alone, I ain't lookin' for fight
Little honey, are you goin' out tonight?
'Cause you know I care but what can I do?
Sit here waitin' by the side of the road
Sit here waitin' till you come home alone
All alone, I ain't lookin' for fight
Ooh, little honey, are you goin' out tonight?
Honey, honey, honey
Honey, honey, honey
10.Because I Do
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
I am a black and white ghost
In a black and invisible dress
Oh, what a mess I'm in
What kind of fool am I
I am the married kind
The kind that said I do
Forever searching for someone new
At night I get drunk and fly around
In the day I dream and lay around
I drink and smoke your brand and drink
I am drunk over you
I am the married kind
The kind that said I do
Forever searching someone new
I am the ghost of all my dreams
To me, it's all pretend
I pretend I'm alive or just not dead
I will die for you
I am the married kind
The kind that said I do
Forever searching for someone new
My nights are numbered
They don't count for nothing
I'm not a fool, I'm just a bride
I'm just no good inside
I am the married kind
The kind that said I do
Forever searching for someone new
11.Devil Doll (Dreamship Demo)
Songwriters:Aaron Mussett, Anthony Byron, Joel Johnson, Justin
Kane, Tara Anderson
She won't get out of bed, shake her snaky hair
Grab her, throw her in the tub, she says, 'Coffee and a piece of
pie'
She never wears a dress on Sunday or any Monday afternoon
This is no goddamn country to wander alone
Devil doll, devil doll
Rags and bones and battered shoes
Devil doll, devil doll
Rags and bones and battered shoes
Devil doll, devil doll
Devil doll, devil doll
People turn their heads, she scares little kids
Eyes narrow, jaw is set, she'll fix you with a stare
She keeps her body hidden, let's her eyes make her bid
I'd wrap her up in a bullet and shoot her round the world
Devil doll, devil doll
Rags and bones and battered shoes
Devil doll, devil doll
Rags and bones and battered shoes
Devil doll, devil doll
Devil doll, devil doll
She won't get out of bed, shake her snaky hair
Grab her, throw her in the tub, she says, 'Coffee and a piece of
pie'
She never wears a dress on Sunday or any Monday afternoon
This is no goddamn country to wander alone
Devil doll, devil doll
Rags and bones and battered shoes
Devil doll, devil doll
Rags and bones and battered shoes
Devil doll, devil doll
Devil doll, devil doll
12.Drunk in My Past
Songwriters:Cervenka Exene, Doe John (us 1)
It's the drunk in my past
Shuffling by like a train
Sounds on its tracks like a ride
Like a ride that don't last
Swears each drink is the last
Tells the same lie each night
And breaks every promise
Till she makes me go crazy
She's gonna drive me to drinking
There's a drunk in my past
The one who let me down
Who wasn't around when they needed
There's a drunk in my past
Who swears each drink is the last
Thought I'd give me another chance
There's a drunk in my path
Each time I go past my house
While trying to find my way home
My door way is blocked
By doomsday for certain
But your own key don't fit
You know it's curtains
Oh, well never a dull moment
Never a moment passes
When someone dull don't pass me by
I love her like a sister that drunk that girl
Why I wish her all the best?
That's all that's left 'cause she took the rest
One heck of a past
There's a drunk in my past
The one who let me down
Who wasn't around when they were needed
There's a drunk in my past
Who swears each drink is the last
Thought I'd give me another chance
There's a drunk in my path
Each time I go past my house
While trying to find my way home
13.Your Phone's Off The Hook, But You're Not
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
Someone clean to chew on
A wife that no one likes
He called and they said
'All of New York is a tow-away zone'
He paid sixty dollars on 12th street today
And now all my money's gone
You don't have to answer me
You don't have to call me back
Your phones off the hook, but you're not
You hate my older sister
And you burglarize her home
Your dirty invitation waits
Run over on my street
I don't care who you don't like
You don't have to answer me
You don't have to answer me
You don't have to call me back
Your phones off the hook, but you're not
Someone clean to chew on
A wife that no one likes
He called and they said
'All of New York is a tow-away zone'
He paid sixty dollars on 12th street today
And now all my money's gone
You don't have to answer me
You don't have to call me back
Your phones off the hook, but you're not
But you're not
But you're not
But you're not
14.Surprise Surprise
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
Surprise, surprise, there's a man downstage
Surprise, surprise, I'm in a bar
Surprise, surprise, it's my turn to play
I'm overworked and underpaid
I drive to work in a rented bus
200 miles or more a day
Just so that you can get a look at us
And figure out if we're worth you paid
Too many potential flings
Too many bands to depend
Over 60,000 miles, I traveled
To drink more beer than Al Capone bottled
And did he bottle
Well, I used to live the nightlife
But now the nightlife's livin' me
Too many times I had too many
Because there's too many people watchin' me
They're watchin' me
Surprise, surprise, I remember them all
Surprise, surprise, we ain't pissed them off
Surprise, surprise, I kind of miss the past
Surprise, surprise, it went by so fast
Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise
Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise
Surprise, surprise
15.Poor Girl
Songwriters:Cervenka Exene, Doe John (us 1)
You sat at home
The windows tinted black
It hits you hard
And you cried so long
Life turned and wandered
Never to come back, again
Take what she gives you
Don't feel sorry for her
When you fell out
Out of the Starlight Inn
You were too hurt to walk
Too bad to begin
I looked at the sign
But I couldn't feel sad for you
Take what she gives you
Don't cry, when you kiss her
Poor little girl
Ran away for good
I try to explain
Why she won't say a thing
Sad, sad thing
I'm so far away now
How can I say
Why she won't talk at all
She holds the deck of cards
She wants to be alone
I've been very ill and I tried waking up
Now, I want to be alone
When you ran out
Out of Petes' Hotel
You didn't look so good
And you didn't feel so well
You said, 'Hold me tight'
But I couldn't get it right
Take what she gives you
Don't feel sorry for her
Poor little girl
Ran away for good
I try to explain
Why she won't say a thing
Sad, sad thing
I'm so far away now
How can I say
Why she won't talk at all
She holds the deck of cards
She wants to be alone
She still drinks in the dark
The radio is left on late
She saw a madman fight
And break it all
'Cause she hated himself
And she felt better off
'Cause she was only drunk
16.White Girl
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
She's blond
Came along the sidewalk
Leave a trail of blue and black up to you, fighting back
Steel chains, a noose of charms on our necks
I find out nothing when we talk and sit
Blue heart passion and watch the set
Easy to fall, part of your skull starts to break away
Cheaters walk down the block behind this evil street
She's a white girl but I'm living with a white girl
She's a white girl but I'm living with a white girl
Nineteen, missing her man for an old girl
Drain every beer left over at home
And listen to ghosts in the other room
Why not you're alone inside his keeping?
Oh I'll replace your drunk old man
Sit in the parking lot and hold your hand
Easy to fall, part of your skull starts to break away
Drugged and in love out at a club, pulling me outside
She's a white girl but I'm living with a white girl
She's a white girl but I'm living with a white girl
Easy to fall, part of your skull starts to break away
Drugged and in love out at a club, pulling me outside
She's a white girl but I'm living with a white girl
She's a white girl but I'm living with a white girl
17.In This House That I Call Home
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
A hundred lives are shoved inside
Guests arrive to dump their mess
Obedient host and a visiting wife
Come outa the bedroom straightening clothes
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
Nobody knows the party rules
I gotta get in but there's no room
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
Beautiful walls are closing in
Looking at you, you're having a nightmare
Stumble over tombstone shoes
I reached to surround you but it's too soon
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
Nobody knows the party rules
I gotta get in but there's no room
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
I finally look in your sweet eyes
And somebody comes with a bottle of beer
After he leaves I turn for a kiss
And see the lady next door, she's naked in the street
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
Nobody knows the party rules
I gotta get in but there's no room
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
18.Motel Room in My Bed
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
Put the doorknob on my side
If you don't mind, I don't care
Put the doorknob on my side
It's self-locking, give me your key
I go to bed soggy and forgetful
Hopefully not waking up so fitfully
I like coffee and I like tea
I like a pretty boy and he likes me
Put the doorknob on my side
It's self-locking, give me your key
I go to bed soggy and forgetful
Hopefully not waking up so fitfully
Motels do that with rubber sheets
So I can't sleep staring at my sheets
Or crying on my sheets
Or bleeding on the same
Put the doorknob on my side
If you don't mind, I don't care
A motel room in my bed
Put both door knobs on my side
I go to bed soggy and forgetful
Hopefully not waking up so fitfully
Motels do that with rubber sheets
So I can't sleep staring at my sheets
Or crying on my sheets
Or bleeding on the same
19.Some Other Time
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
Let's not talk about bombs
And the brain impulses of severed limbs
You will always subtract your arms
From my arms
Someone always interrupts us when we talk
So I'm gonna draw this evening's line
Before my wash hangs on it
For everyone to see
It's very bad luck to draw the line
On the night before the worlds ends
We can draw the line
Some other time
This midnight I will
Turn into a bear I will
Dream of you between nightmares
And wars and toss and turn
Ain't you gonna take me for a ride drink
And drive down to the L.A. river bed
I'll make no mistakes
And I'll behave
It's very bad luck to draw the line
On the night before the worlds ends
We can draw the line
Some other time
Let's not talk about bombs
And the brain impulses of severed limbs
You will always subtract your arms
From my arms
Someone always interrupts us when we talk
So I'm gonna draw this evening's line
Before my wash hangs on it
For everyone to see
It's very bad luck to draw the line
On the night before the worlds ends
We can draw the line
Some other time
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
Slip around some universal corner like a woman
Slip around some corner pick up the phone like a woman
She must build a fire next to the pay phone
Heat is the point, smoke on the receiver
Light up to its universal ringing like a woman
Picking it up, her heat blinds the night and rises, rises, and
rises
She lets you in on her biggest secret like a woman
She wants a man who knows all the right places like a woman
Washing his feet with her tears she'd dry them with her hair
Among the undefiled, she's gone wild
Her sins will sin from behind her like a woman
Dropping the phone she leaves it dead to the dead men, the dead
men
Screaming Magdalene I'm so waiting, is there anyone so waiting
Screaming Magdalene she is running
Slip around some universal corner like a woman
Slip around some corner pick up the phone like a woman
She must build a fire next to the pay phone
Heat is the point, smoke on the receiver
Light up to its universal ringing like a woman
Picking it up, her heat blinds the night and rises and rises
Screaming Magdalene I'm so waiting, is there anyone so waiting
Screaming Magdalene she is running
21.The Unheard Music
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
Friends warehouse pain, attack their own kind
A thousand kids, bury their parents
There's laughing outside
We're locked out of the public eyes
Some smooth chords on the car radio
No hard chords on the car radio
We set the trash on fire and watch outside the door
Men come up the pavement, under the marquee
There's laughing inside
We're locked out of the public eyes
Some smooth chords on the car radio
No hard chords on the car radio
Friends warehouse pain, attack their own kind
A thousand kids, bury their parents
There's laughing outside
We're locked out of the public eyes
Some smooth chords on the car radio
No hard chords on the car radio
Some smooth chords on the car radio
No hard chords on the car radio
22.4th of July (Demo)
Songwriters:David Albert Alvin
She's waitin' for me when I get home from work
Oh, but things ain't just the same
She turns out the light and cries in the dark
Won't answer when I call her name
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin' fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the 4th of July
Hey baby, it's the 4th of July
She gives me her cheek when I want her lips
Oh but I don't have the strength to go
On the lost side of town in a dark apartment
We gave up trying so long ago
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin' fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the 4th of July
Hey baby, it's the 4th of July
What ever happened I apologize
So dry your tears and baby walk outside it's the 4th of July
4th of July, 4th of July
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin' fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the 4th of July
Hey baby
Hey baby, I gonna take a walk outside
Hey baby, it's the 4th of July
Hey baby, it's the 4th of July
Hey baby, it's the 4th of July
23.Painting the Town Blue
Songwriters:Cervenka Exene, Doe John (us 1)
Bartender's eyes are full of pity
As he tells her, 'You're alone and it's 2:30
All the chairs are on the table and it's time to close'
She said, 'A minute ago they were starin' at me
Where the hell did they go?'
Then she went out to paint the town
Roses are red, violence is too
Everyone knows I'm painting the town blue
'You look funny when you cry', were his last words
Before he laughed and said goodbye, she flipped a finger
And so she picked her shoes up, picked up her feet
And let 'em walk hand in hand down the dirty hallway
Then she went out to paint the town
Roses are red, violence is too
Everyone knows I'm painting the town blue
Was she beat, did she suffer from a working hand
She always hated his hacking cough early in the morning
She walked to the Greyhound to take a little ride
He could look in the corner of every town but he won't find her
'Cause she went out to paint the town
Roses are red, violence is too
Everyone knows I'm painting the town blue
24.We're Having Much More Fun
Songwriters:Cervenka Exene, Doe John (us 1)
This room has emptied out
Its time to wash your face
And throw away your food
Leave your sister home and come with us
Its not dark enough not yet
Louder than hell will be well
Love the black night falling
With every unfamiliar scene
We're having much more fun
You don't know where we've gone
We're having much more fun
Well crawl through your backyard
And whack your yappin dog
We're having much more fun
Los angeles treats everyone like a drunk in bed
Washing dirty bums with rain like dishes
On the floor four am we couldnt care less
Where we left home see our shadow
Long and sweaty we shall run next fall
We're having much more fun
The black and white hotel
Has a stripper club on the bottom floor
'A great place to bring wife
Girlfriend or an out of town guest'
In the hallways upstairs
Everyone hangs out the doors
And the silhouettes act obscene
Across from where we stay
We're having much more fun
You don't know where we've gone
Well crawl through your backyard
And whack your yappin dog
And whack your yappin dog
And whack your yappin dog
We're having much more fun
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
They can't go to sleep at four
The car is parked outside the door
Scars of a knife on his arm
Her husband knows they're together
Riding with Mary protection to pass
Riding with Mary protecting immaculate
Love rows of numbered doors behind the car warms up
The street is clear and empty and green with lights
They talk and never stop moving
He's sounding her name in his head
She's falling asleep next to his face
Her sister's getting married today
And the saints of easter smile on the dashboard
Rides a figurine a powerless sweet forgotten thing
So the next time you see a statue of Mary
Remember my sister was in a car
26.Sex And Dying In High Society
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
We got it on that way
We'd do anything to stay
And keep your money boys
Made of silver and gold
And keep your pekingese, Turkish cigarettes
And your lighter that looks like a gun
So you marry your daddy
With a different name
That's sex and dying in high society
Sex and dying in high society
Sex and dying in high society
Sex and dying in high society
That pretty man of yours
The one hiding inside the director's clothes
The one who calls you dear
After banging away at you in the night
That one's just got to go
Every time you look at him
You could almost fall asleep
And there's a masturbating
Getting underneath your belt
That's sex and dying in high society
Sex and dying in high society
Sex and dying in high society
Sex and dying in high society
And now you tell the maid
To burn you on your virgin back
With a curling iron
Hotter than hot
You say it's good enough
You say it's good enough
You say it's good enough
You say your pain is better
Than any kind of love
That's sex and dying in high society
Sex and dying in high society
Sex and dying in high society
Sex and dying in high society
27.The Have Nots
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
Drink at the bar nothin' bar anything
But the bottom step of the ladder
It keeps gettin' higher and higher
Dawn comes soon enough for the working class
It keeps gettin' sooner or later
This is the game that moves as you play
How does it feel to have your own bottle of booze?
Behind the bar, how does it feel?
To play cards with the barmaids while they work
At Jocko's rocket ship or the one eye jack
My sin and the lucky star
A steady place to study and drink
Dawn comes soon enough for the working class
It keeps gettin' sooner or later
This is the game that moves as you play
Day old days ancient Bloody Mary bastards in a hardcore
Blue collar bar here we sit
A shot and a beer after another hard earned day
Day old days ancient Bloody Mary bastards in a hardcore
Blue collar bar here we sit
A shot and a beer after another hard earned day
Dawn comes soon enough for the working class
It keeps gettin' sooner or later
This is the game that moves as you play
At the hi-d-hi and the hula gal
A Bee-Hive bar and the Zircon lounge
G.G.'s cozy corner the gift of love
Stop 'n' drink, sit 'n' sip, rest 'n' pieces
Dexter's new approach and the get down lounge
The Aorta bar, Detroit's Main vein
Dawn comes soon enough for the working class
It keeps gettin' sooner or later
This is the game that moves as you play
28.Riding With Mary
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
They can't go to sleep at four
The car is parked outside the door
Scars of a knife on his arm
Her husband knows they're together
Riding with mary protection to pass
Riding with mary protecting immaculate love
Rows of numbered doors behind
The car warms up, the street is clear and empty
And green with lights
They talk and never stop moving
He's sounding her name in his head
She's falling asleep next to his face
Her sister's getting married today
And the saints of easter smile
On the dashboard rides a figurine
A powerless sweet forgotten thing
So the next time you see a statue of mary
Remember my sister was in a car
29.Love Shack
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
I was with you when you wrote it
And I liked it better then
Back when I thought you were mine
Sang all your songs for me
I liked this song when you were mine
And I liked it better then
The people here, they don't know that
Tonight I'm one of them
Here's to you, your voice on the jukebox
Here's to you, I'm dancin' at the love shack
Shakin' it down at the love shack
Shakin' at the fool shack
Now the whole damn country loves you
Your voice belongs to them
They bought it for a quarter
And they sing along for a beer
So just one more boys, whaddya say?
One more if you please
And I might find a reason why
You don't belong to me
Here's to you, your voice on the jukebox
Here's to you, I'm dancin' at the love shack
Shakin' it down at the love shack
Shakin' at the fool shack
You can sing your song, boy
'Cause you sing it good
But raise your glass to me
While you're out on the road
'Cause tonight I paid my quarter
And that still makes you mine
Once you told me that
But now I'm shakin' at the love shack
Here's to you, your voice on the jukebox
Here's to you, I'm dancin' at the love shack
Shakin' it down at the love shack
Shakin' at the fool shack
30.I'll Stand Up For You
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
When you're too worn out to fight
I'll stand up for you and when you need a bed for the night
I'll stand up for you, when my friends put you down
I'll stand up for you, when they run you out of town
I'll stand up for you, oh, what the hell
I'll take a greyhound bus with you, they call you a fool
And say that, I'm too foolish to see
Well, I'll stand up for you and you stand up for me
I'll stand up, I won't sit back, I'll stand up, I won't sit back
Well, the cigarettes are gone and the ashtrays are full
Honey, everyone thinks we're trash, so I take, I take it out on
you
I, I'm sorry the dreams are gone and I've made you mad or two
That's the exactly wrong time, to pick a fight with you
Oh, what the hell let's call it a night they call you a fool
And say that I'm too foolish to see
Well, I'll stand up for you, and you stand up for me
I'll stand up, I won't sit back, I'll stand up, I won't sit back
31.See How We Are (Demo)
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
There are men lost in jail
Crowded fifty to a room
There's too many rats in this cage of the world
And the women know their place
They sit home and write letters
And when they visit once a year, well, they both just sit there
and stare
See how we are, gotta keep bars in between us
See how we are, we only sing about it once in every twenty years
See how we are, oh see how we are
Now there are seven kinds of Coke
Five hundred kinds of cigarettes
This freedom of choice in the USA drives everybody crazy
But in Acapulco
Well, they don't give a damn
About kids selling Chiclets with no shoes on their feet
See how we are, hey man, what's in it for me?
See how we are, we only sing about it once in every twenty years
See how we are, oh see how we are
Now that highway is coming through
So you all gotta move
This bottom rung ain't no fun at all
'Cause no fires and rock houses
And grape-flavored rat poison
Are the new trinity for this so-called community
See how we are, gotta keep bars on all of our windows
See how we are, we only sing about it once in every twenty years
See how we are, oh see how we are
Well, this morning the alarm rang at noon
And I'm trying to write this letter to you
About how much I care and why I just can't be there
To draw your bath and comb and comb your hair
Last night in a nightspot
Where things aren't so hot
My friend said, 'I met a boy and I'm in love'
I said, 'Oh really, what's this one's name?'
She said, 'His first name is Homeboy'
I said, 'Could his last name be Trouble?'
See how we are, ah Homeboy, isn't that a Mexican name?
See how we are, we only sing about it once in every twenty years
See how we are, oh see how we are
Yeah, see how we are, oh see how we are
32.Breathless
Songwriters:Otis Blackwell
Now if you love me, please don't tease
If I can hold, well, then let me squeeze
My heart goes 'round and 'round
My love comes tumblin' down
You leave me, ahh, breathless, ahh
Well, I shake all over and you know why
I'm sure it's love, honey, it ain't no lie
'Cause when you call my name
You know I burn like wooden flame
You leave me so breathless, ahh
Ooh baby, you're driving me crazy
You're much too much
I can not love you enough
It's alright, hold me tight
When you love me, love me right
Come on baby, now don't be shy
This love was meant for you and I
Wind, rain, sleet of snow
I'm gonna getcha wherever you go
You leave me so breathless, ahh
Ooh baby, you're driving me crazy
You're much too much
I can not love you enough
It's alright, hold me tight
When you love me, love me right
Come on baby, now don't be shy
This love was meant for you and I
Wind, rain, sleet of snow
I'm gonna getcha wherever you go
You have left me so breathless, ahh
33.Johnny Hit And Run Paulene (Demo)
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
He bought a sterilized hypo
To shoot a sex machine drug

To shoot all Paulene's between the legs
96 tears through 24 hours
Sexed once every hour
Johny hit and run Paulene
Johny hit and run Paulene
Johny hit and run Paulene
Johny hit and run Paulene
L.A. bus doors open
Kicking both doors open
When it rested on 6th street
That's when he drug a girl inside
He was spreading her legs and didn't understand dying
She was still awake
Johny hit and run Paulene
Johny hit and run Paulene
Johny hit and run Paulene
Johny hit and run Paulene
When he was waking up
Beside the bed
He found clumps of hair
The last Paulene wouldn't cooperate
She wasn't what you'd call living really
But she was still awake
Johny hit and run Paulene
Johny hit and run Paulene
Johny hit and run Paulene
Johny hit and run Paulene
34.The New World
Songwriters:Cervenka Exene, Doe John (us 1)
Honest to goodness, the bars weren't open this morning
They must have been voting for a new president of something
Do you have a quarter?
I said, 'Yes', because I did, honest to goodness
The tears have been falling all over this country's face
It was better before, before they voted for 'What's his name'
This is suppose to be the new world
It was better before, before they voted for 'What's his name'
This is suppose to be the new world
Flint Ford Automobile, Alabama
Windshield Wiper, Buffalo, New York
Gary, Indiana, don't forget the Motor City
Baltimore and D.C., now all we need is
Don't forget the Motor City
This was suppose to be the new world
Don't forget the Motor City
This was suppose to be the new world
All we need is money, just give us what you can spare
Twenty or thirty pounds of potatoes or twenty or thirty beers
A turkey on Thanksgiving like alms for the poor
All we need are the necessities and more
It was better before they voted for 'What's his name'
This is suppose to be the new world
It was better before they voted for 'What's his name'
This is suppose to be the new world
Don't forget the Motor City
This was suppose to be the new world
35.Blue Spark
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
Blue spark
He waits in a beach apartment, blue spark
Thousands of lights, thousands of people
She's forgotten him for the bodies around her
Blue shock, exchange blue shock, exchange blue spark
What goes between the eyes downtown, blue spark
Oh, loudspeakers and search lights the boulevard
She comes home later just to give him
Blue shock, exchange blue shock, exchange blue spark
Blue spark, blue spark
36.Back 2 the Base
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
There's a man on the bus, screamin' about Presley
There's a man on the bus, screamin' about Presley
All tied up got a knot in his hands
Presley sucked on doggie dicks
I'm the king of rock 'n roll
If you don't like it, you can lump it
You gotta get me back to the base
You gotta get me back to the base
Presley's been dead, the body means nothin'
The man in the back says Presley sucked dicks
With a picture of li'l Stevie over his head
I'm in the back with a hole in my throat
I'm the king of rock 'n roll
If you don't like it, you can lump it
You gotta get me back to the base
You gotta get me back to the base
There's a man on the bus, screamin' about Presley
Rips a newspaper up in his hands
Helicopter shoots down a military spot
Everybody runs from screamin' about Presley
I'm the king of rock 'n roll
If you don't like it, you can lump it
You gotta get me back to the base
You gotta get me back to the base
There's a man on the bus, screamin' about Presley
There's a man on the bus, screamin' about Presley
All tied up got a knot in his hands
Presley sucked on doggie dicks
I'm the king of rock 'n roll
If you don't like it you can lump it
You gotta get me back to the base
You gotta get me back to the base
You gotta get me back to the base
You gotta get me back to the base
37.My Goodness
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
My goodness, just left to make room for you
Oh, my goodness, sure knows what it wants to do
My goodness, I go bad at the drop of a heart
My goodness always stops when my trouble starts
Ain't nothing bad about me, I got all my feeling tamed
I've been a faithful, honest woman and he knows my love won't
change
But none of you have seen me when this past of mine stops by
In the form of a handsome stranger I've loved since '75
My goodness, just left to make room for you
Oh, my goodness, sure knows what it wants to do
My goodness, I go bad at the drop of a heart
My goodness always stops when my trouble starts
My goodness is strong and it's stronger laying down
He's only here to love me then he'll leave this town
Very bad thoughts I'm thinkin' today
I can't keep my mind out of the gutter
Not even to save my soul
I take a drink and lose control
You buy a bottle 'round my door
She goes out the window
My goodness
My goodness
My goodness
...
38.Beyond and Back
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
I'll go somewhere else, I'll move to the couch
It's darker in the dark, it's darker in the day
I forgot you were a liar
Now it's five to twelve, shut up and smoke
And I'll go somewhere else, no more orange nightgowns
One O'clock and then it ends
One O'clock and then it ends
One O'clock and then it ends
This is no place, this is no place
To be addicted to another place
Ever get to go don't you want me to make it
I took as long as you took you take a lot from me
I forgot you were a thief
I want to be like her instead
I stay nowhere marked down in the basement lousy at the bottom
A life of intermission
A life of intermission
A life of intermission
This is no place, this is no place
To be addicted to another place
I'll go somewhere else, I'll move to the couch
It's darker in the dark, it's darker in the day
I forgot you were a liar
Now it's five to twelve, shut up and smoke
And I'll go somewhere else, no more orange nightgowns
One O'clock and then it ends
One O'clock and then it ends
One O'clock and then it ends

40.Unheard Music
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
Friends, warehouse, pain attack their own kind
A thousand kids bury their parents
There's laughing outside
We're locked out of the public eye
Some smooth chords on the car radio
No hard chords on the car radio
We set the trash on fire and watch outside the door
Men come up the pavement under the marquee
There's laughing inside
We're locked out of the public eye
Some smooth chords on the car radio
No hard chords on the car radio
Friends, warehouse, pain attack their own kind
A thousand kids bury their parents
There's laughing outside
We're locked out of the public eye
Some smooth chords on the car radio
No hard chords on the car radio
Some smooth chords on the car radio
No hard chords on the car radio

43.It's Who You Know
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
Baby, you look like somebody, ooh to know
Like a rose comin' out of a photo
All your lipstick shows
I don't wanna make you cry
I don't wanna even try
It's who you know
Oh, you can talk to me
Make my life complete
When I think of the ways I can use you
Get me off the streets
Then we spend the night in bed
And I can't lose my head
Even in lovin' it's who you know
44.The Once Over Twice (Unissued Single Mix)
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
I just heard the sad song by another band
Sung by another man he gave me the once over twice
I said, when he said, 'Okay so long'
He hung me with the endless rope
I could throw my lipstick and bracelets like gravel
And move to Alabama, I got some more scotch instead
Then I died a thousand times
He hung me with the endless rope
Then I died a thousand times, maybe you don't
But I do got a hole in my heart
Size of my heart, size of my heart
He hung me with the endless rope
I'll see you and I'll raise you off the floor
I'll floor you and we'll dance without a band
I just heard the sad song hang another man
He hung me with the endless rope
I just heard the sad song by another band
Sung by another man he gave me the once over twice
I said, when he said, 'Okay so long'
He hung me with the endless rope
45.I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts (1997 Mix)
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
The facts we hate will never meet
Walking down the road everybody yelling hurry up, hurry up
But I'm waiting for you, I must go slow
I must not think bad thoughts what is this world coming too
And both sides are right but both sides murdered
I give up, why can't they
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
The civil wars and the uncivilized wars
Conflagrations leap out of every poor furnace
The food cooks poorly and everyone goes hungry
From then on it's dog eat dog, dog eat body and body eat dog
I can't go down there, I can't understand it
I'm a no good coward, an American too, a North American that is
And I must not think bad thoughts
And I must not think bad thoughts
And I must not think bad thoughts
Oh I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
I'm guilty of murder of innocent men
Innocent women, innocent children, thousands of them
My planes, my guns, my money, my soul
Just my blood on my hands, it's all my fault
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
The facts we hate you'll never hear us
I hear the radio it's finally gonna play new music
You know the British invasion but what about the Minutemen
Fleasheaters, D O A, Big Boys and The Black Flag
Were the last American bands to get played on the radio
Please bring The Flag, please bring The Flag
Glitter disco synthesizer night school
All this noble savage drum, drum, drum
Astronauts go back in time to hang out with the cave
People it's about time, it's about space
It's about some people in the strangest places
Woody Guthrie, he sang about B E E T S not B E A T S
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
The facts we hate will never meet
Walking down the road everybody yelling hurry up, hurry up
But I'm waiting for you, I must go slow
I must not think bad thoughts, when is this world coming too
Both sides are right but both sides murdered
I give up, why can't they
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
I must not think bad thoughts
46.True Love
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
True love, true love, true love, true love
True love, true love is the devil's crowbar
Pulled out, pulled apart, torn apart by finding out
Loneliness is fine, then you find someone who has to stay away
It pulls apart your wishbone but you get to wish
Loneliness is never the same again
It becomes true love, true love, true love, true love
True love, true love is the devil's crowbar
He uses it to pry you out of your car and into the arms of
The devil drives a Buick, he sits inside and eats lunch
Then he sticks his pitchfork through the trunk and into the
spare
And he pulls out
True love, true love, true love, true love
True love, true love is the devil's crowbar
47.Universal Corner
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
Slip around some universal corner
(Like a woman)
Slip around some corner, pick up the phone
(Like a woman)
She must build a fire next to the pay phone
Heat is the point, smoke on the receiver
Light up to its universal ringing
(Like a woman)
Picking it up, her heat blinds the night and rises
And rises
She lets you in on her biggest secret
(Like a woman)
She wants a man who knows all the right places
(Like a woman)
Washing his feet with her tears she'd dry them with her hair
Her sins will sin from behind her
(Like a woman)
Dropping the phone she leaves it dead to the dead men
The dead men
Screaming Magdalene
So alone, she picks up the phone
Screaming Magdalene
I'm so waiting, is there anyone so waiting?
Screaming Magdalene
She is running
Slip around some universal corner
(Like a woman)
Slip around some corner, pick up the phone
(Like a woman)
She must build a fire next to the pay phone
Heat is the point, smoke on the receiver
Light up to its universal ringing
(Like a woman)
Picking it up, her heat blinds the night and rises
And rises
Light up to its universal ringing
(Like a woman)
Picking it up, her heat blinds the night and rises
And rises
Screaming Magdalene
So alone, she picks up the phone
Screaming Magdalene
I'm so waiting, is there anyone so waiting?
Screaming Magdalene
She is running
48.See How We Are
Songwriters:Exene Cervenka, John Doe
There are men lost in jail
Crowded fifty to a room
There's too many rats in this cage of the world
And the women know their place
They sit home and write letters
And when they visit once a year
Well they both just sit there and stare
See how we are
Gotta keep bars in between us
See how we are
We only sing about it once in every twenty years
See how we are
Oh, see how we are
Now there are seven kinds of Coke
500 kinds of cigarettes
This freedom of choice in the USA drives everybody crazy
But in Acapulco
Well they don't give a damn
About kids selling chiclets with no shoes on their feet

We only sing about it once in every twenty years
See how we are
Oh, see how we are
Yeah, see how we are
Now that highway's coming through
So you all gotta move
This bottom rung ain't no fun at all
No fires and rock houses and grape-flavored rat poison
They are the new trinity
For this so-called community
See how we are
Gotta keep bars on all of our windows
See how we are
We only sing about it once in every twenty years
See how we are
Oh, see how we are
See how we are
Yeah, see how we are
Oh, see how we are
49.Watch The Sun Go Down
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
I've been havin' trouble
Puttin' my cigarettes out
And I've been having trouble with her
So I shut up or talk too loud
The cigarettes smolder and smell
But they light up the room
So many times I think of romance
But I think I should leave you alone
When I get home I'm gonna hang that picture
Where it's supposed to be
Then I think I'll get up
And watch the sun go down
Watch the sun go down
Watch the sun go down
Watch the sun go down
Watch the sun go down, yeah
I wish I wasn't grown-up
So I could cry myself to sleep
And I'd like to follow you home
But it's awful hard on the bus
Everybody's got the right to go wrong
They come home and say I'm sorry
But I'm gone for six months at a time
And you're tired of the reason why
When I grow up
I'm gonna make something out of myself
Then I think I'll get up
And watch the sun go down
Watch the sun go down
Watch the sun go down
Watch the sun go down
When the sun goes down, yeah
When I grow up
I'm gonna make something out of myself
Then I think I'll get up
And watch the sun go down
Then I think I'll get up
And watch the sun go down
Watch the sun go down
Watch the sun go down
Watch the sun go down
Watch the sun go down
Yeah, watch the sun go down
Just get home and watch the sun go down
Watch the sun go down
Watch the sun go down, yeah
50.Supercharged
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
I awoke to see the sun at 6 o'clock
But I guess I stayed in bed too long
Because it was night and that sun was goin' down
It was still awfully bright
He's bright and shiny
As a brand new penny
And he's bad
And hot as a hemie
I heard the skid when he arrived
So I slid to a stop at his feet
It was 6 o'clock on highway 5
So we stayed off the street
He's bright and shiny
As a brand new penny
And he's bad
And hot as a hemie
Supercharged in my parking garage
He's big, he's bad, he's crazy
Supercharged in my parking garage
Supercharged in my parking garage
When we woke up, the sun said 6 o'clock
So I guess we stayed in bed too long
'Cause it was night and that sun was goin' down
But it was still awfully bright
He's bright and shiny
As a brand new penny
And he's bad
And hot as a hemie
Supercharged in my parking garage
He's so big, he's bad, so bad, so crazy
Supercharged in my parking garage
Supercharged in my parking garage
Supercharged in my parking garage
He's so big, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, so crazy
Supercharged in my parking garage
Supercharged in my parking garage
51.How I (Learned My Lesson)
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
How I, how I, how I
How I, how I learned my lesson
Mine is a big pink house
A preacher knocking on the door
With a self-righteous preacher going in
But he is just an old flame
I'll never want him again and again and again
How I, how I, how I
How I, how I learned my lesson
I didn't, I kept on trying
I didn't listen I looked up to you
I call you on the phone
But you tell me you're not home
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
So I never want to see you again
I'm wrecking the kitchen carefully
But I'm keeping your dinner warm
How I, how I, how I
How I how I learned my lesson
I didn't, I kept on trying
I didn't listen, I looked up to you
At the soul market on Sunday
Here's what I put in your collection basket
In front of the congregation
I stood up and called your name
When I walked out
You just shook my hand
How I, how I, how I
How I, how I learned my lesson
52.Real Child Of Hell
Songwriters:Cervenka Christine, Nommensen John Duchac
Men of flesh hitch a ride
Shorts and tans and greasy thighs
At night drive into slimy bars
And piss it out on our front yards
They're looking in our window now
Real child of hell, nobody's seen him
Real child of hell, real child of hell
Nobody knows what shape she takes
St. Paddy's Day, old Irish man
Shamrocks painted on his face
He mumbles warnings from Ireland
In the back I sense a fight
And that old man has done his deed
Real child of hell, nobody's seen him
Real child of hell, real child of hell
Nobody knows what shape she takes
This stage I'm on gets repossessed
Vigilantes acting bored
The mindless fan wants my dress
And I can't tell which one is worse
And I can't see the cursing child
Real child of hell, nobody's seen him
Real child of hell, real child of hell
Nobody knows what shape she takes
53.Cyrano De Berger's Back
I got a couple of words to say
For all strong and silent types
Who don't talk to the girls they wanna love
Though it means their lives
I say this, 'It's time to get stark'
Yet the words don't come
Your eyes are blue as the coals that burn
In your black desire
I'll talk for you
Under the balcony in blue
I'll talk for you, I'll talk for you
For Cyrano de Bergers' Back
I'll have sympathetic years
To hear what your Roxanne will say
Though I love her 20 times more
I never say
I should be the erosion
Of color on your cheek
Instead I make your man a girl
In between your sheets
I'll talk for you
Ten hearts are beating true
This ain't a lie, this ain't behind
Cyrano de Berger's Back
I got a couple of words to say
For all you strong and silent types
Who don't talk to the girls they wanna love
Though it means their life
I should be the erosion
Of color on your cheek
Instead I'll make your man a girl
In between your sheets
I've got ten arms for you
Ten hearts are beating true
This ain't a lie
54.Year One
Year one, little babies
Year one on their TV's, no A.D., B.C., A.D.
Patriotic people sleep in Washington D.C.
Waiting, waiting, waiting
They don't feel a thing
No dolls, no debutantes, no desperate living class
No Roman Catholic mass, no magazines
No T.V., no R.C.A., no G.E.
Year one in our history
Year one in society
They're waiting for the son, for any son
To come year one you're on I'm one
55.Make The Music Go Bang
I've seen a lot of people with plenty of guts
They say, ââ¬Â½Make my music
New and loud and roughââ¬Â
Give it a beat of, give it a twang
In a dark sweaty club
It's the same damn thing
Bang bang, make the music go bang
Brilliant shinning and nasty
Bang bang, make the music go bang
Let me hear the guitar sound like a train
Bang bang, let the music go bang
You can't drive around
And hear your favorite song
So you tape it live if you can get inside
When it comes along
I can't understand people
Who bitch and whine
Let's drink a beer from a paper bag
While we got time
Bang bang, let the music go bang
Brilliant shining and nasty
Bang bang, make the music go bang
Let me hear a guitar sound like a train
Bang bang, make the music go bang
Bang bang, make the music go bang
