DISC II

 

[lyrics R from my own interpretation and that of some close FRIENDS]

 

 

Sign O' The Times

Oh yeah  

In France a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there R seventeen-year-old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack, totin' a machine gun

Time, time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
U turn on the telly and every other story
Is tellin' U somebody died
Sister killed her baby cuz she could afford 2 feed it
And we're sending people 2 the moon
In September my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June

Times, times

It's silly, no?
When a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants 2 fly
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies
Oh why
Time, time

Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see the dawn
Time, times

It's silly, no?
When a rocket blows
And everybody still wants 2 fly
Some say a man ain't happy, truly
Until a man truly dies
Oh why, oh why, Sign O the Times

Time, time

Sign O the Times mess with Ur mind
Hurry B4 it's 2 late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
We'll call him Nate... if it's a boy

Time, time

Time, time

Play In The Sunshine

Oooh Doggies!

We wanna play in the sunshine
We wanna B free
Without the help of a Margarita or Exstacy
We wanna kick like we used 2
Sign up on the dotted line
We gonna dance every dance
Like it's gonna B the last time

We got 2 play in the sunshine
Turn all the lights up 2 10
I want 2 meet U (meet U), kiss U (kiss U),
love U (love U), and miss U (miss U)
Do it all over again, do it all over again

We gonna play in the sunshine
We're gonna get over
I'm feelin' kind of lucky 2 night
I'm gonna find my 4-leaf clover
B4 my life is done
Some way, some how, I'm gonna have fun

Play in the sunshine

We gonna love all our enemies
Till the gorilla falls off the wall
We're gonna rock him
We're gonna roll him
We're gonna teach him that love will make him tall (somehow)

Aah, pop goes the music
When the big white rabbit begin 2 talk
And the color green will make Ur best friends leave ya
It will make them do the walk
But that's cool
Cuz one day, everyday will B a yellow day
and let's play

We gonna play in the sunshine
We're gonna get over
I'm feelin' kind of lucky 2 night
I'm gonna find my 4-leaf clover
B4 my life is done
Some way, some how, I'm gonna have fun

play, play, play, play, play, play, play
We gonna play in the sunshine
We're gonna get over
I'm feelin' kind of lucky 2 night
I'm gonna find my 4-leaf clover
B4 my life is done
Some way, some how, I'm gonna have fun

(play), (play),
(play) no, (play) no, (play) no
(come on, play) no!, (play) no!, (playplayplay) Yes!

Drummer, do Ur thang
Drummer, drummer, do Ur thang
Drummer, drummer, drummer

The Ballard Of Dorothy Parker

Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade
She worked the night shift
Dishwater blonde, tall and fine
She got a lot of tips
Well, earlier I'd been talkin' stuff
In a violent room
Fighting with lovers past
I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
Dorothy was fast
Well, I ordered - "Yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain't 2 hungry"
Dorothy laughed
She said "Sounds like a real man 2 me"
Kinda cute, U wanna take a bath?
(do U wanna, do U wanna, bath)
I said "Cool, but I'm leaving my pants on" (she say)
"Cuz I'm kind of going with someone"
She said "Sounds like a real man 2 me"
"Mind if I turn on the radio?"
"Oh, my favorite song" she said
And it was Joni singing "Help me I think I'm falling"
(Ring)
The phone rang and she said
"Whoever's calling can't B as cute as U"
Right then I knew I was through
(Dorothy Parker was cool)

My pants where wet, they came off
But she didn't see the movie
Cuz she hadn't read the book first
Instead she pretended she was blind
An affliction brought on by a witch's curse
Dorothy made me laugh (ha ha)
I felt much better so I went back
2 the violent room (tell us what U did)
Let me tell U what I did...

I took another bubble bath with my pants on
All the fighting stopped
Next time I'll do it sooner
This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker
Well
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker
Well

Starfish And Coffee

It was 7:45 we were all in line
2 greet the teacher Miss Cathleen
First was Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me
All of us where ordinary compared 2 Cynthia Rose
She always stood at the back of the line
A smile beneath her nose
Her favorite number was 20 and every single day
If U asked her what she had 4 breakfast
This is what she'd say

Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If U set Ur mind free, baby
Maybe U'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

Cynthia wore the prettiest dress
With different color socks
Sometimes I wondered if the mates where in her lunchbox
Me and Lucy opened it when Cynthia wasn't around
Lucy cried, I almost died, U know what we found?

Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If U set Ur mind free, honey
Maybe U'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

Starfish and coffee

Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one she'd draw
On every wall in every school
But it's all right, it's 4 a worthy cause
Go on, Cynthia, keep singin'

Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If U set Ur mind free, baby
Maybe U'd understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

(Starfish in Ur coffee, U will love it, told ya so)
(Starfish in Ur coffee, U will love it, told ya so)

Slow Love

Young is the night
It feels so right
Now that U're mine
Let's take our time

The man in the moon is smiling
4 he knows what I'm dreaming of
2night is the night 4 making slow love

The gentle breeze
It blows with ease
Let's make IT slow
Just like the wind blows

Let's make IT last forever
4 a hundred times won't B enough
2night is the night 4 making slow love

Slow love
So much better when we take it easy
Slow love
So much better when we take our time

Love's in Ur eyes (in Ur eyes)
Eyes never lie
Don't rush the feelin'
U've got me reelin'

U can see through race car drivers
Let me show U what I'm made of
2night is the night 4 making slow love

[repeated 2 fade]
Slow love
So much better when we take it easy
Slow love
So much better when we take our time

Hot thing, maybe U should give Ur folks a call
Hot thing, tell them U're going 2 the Crystal Ball
Hot thing, tell them U're coming home late,

Hot thing, tell them U found a brand new baby doll
Hot thing, I can't wait 2 get U home
Hot thing, where we could B alone
Hot thing, I could read U poetry,
and then we could make a story of our own

Forever In My Life

La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da

There comes a time, in every man's life
When he get's tired of foolin' around
Juggling hearts in a 3 ring circus
Someday will drive a body down 2 the ground
I never imagined that love would rain on me
And make me want 2 settle down
Baby it's true, I think I do
And I just wanna tell U that I wanna with U (baby, if U do 2)
And baby if U do 2
4ever, 4ever, baby I want U 4ever
I wanna keep U 4 the rest of my life (U can make right)
All that is wrong in my world (U R my saviour)
U can make right (U R my light)
U R my saviour, U R my light (4ever I want U in my life)
4ever I want U in my life

(La da da da da da da da)
(La da da da da da)

(Every man's journey)
There comes a road in every man's journey (don't B afraid)
A road that he's afraid 2 walk on his own (I'm at that road)
I'm here 2 tell U that I'm at that road (I'd rather walk it with)
And I'd rather walk it (U than walk it alone)
With U than walk it alone (U R my future)
U R my hero, U R my future (no past)
When I am with U, I have no past
Oh baby my one and only desire (make this feelin' last)
Is find some way in this doggone world (sugar it's true)
2 make this feelin' last (I know I do)
Oh baby it's true, I know I do (2 with U)
And I just wanna tell U that I
want 2 with U, yeah
And baby if U do 2
4ever, 4ever, I want U baby, baby 4ever (U can make right)
I wanna keep U 4 the rest of my life (U R my saviour)
All that is wrong in my world (U R my light)
U can make right (4ever I want U in my life)
U R my saviour, U R my light (La da da da da da da da)
4ever I want U in my life (La da da da da da da da)
