Sheena No Sheena (No Sheena No)

Sheena was a spy
for the FBI
but her contact never showed
and she never wondered why

but the saucer people came
and the hours disappeared
the dreams began again
and the eyes behind the mirrors

Sheena No Sheena
No Sheena No x 2

and the house began to talk
and the giant spiders came
she went out for a walk
was gone for seven days

in the morning she was fine
her eyes were bright and clear
i’ve got two left she cooed to me
and dropped one in her beer

GOING HOME

Wake up baby
turn your light down low…
I want ta see your pretty face
one more time before I go

They’re coming for me in the morning
coming to take me home…
When you see that light in the sky
that’s when you know I’m going home

[bridge]

When you see that light in the sky
that’s when you know I’m going home…
Don’t try to call me baby
cause they ain’t got no telephone

Men Are Still Stupid

MEN ARE STILL STUPID (times aint changed)
8-2-90

when I was just a little bitty boy
sitting on my pappy’s knee
he said hey tommy listen to my story
take a tip straight from me
dont let a girl get you in trouble
spend all your money make you see double
take this tip straight from your dad
don’t get fooled and dont get had

I said hey dad, dont worry so bad
times have changed and that stuff’s in the past
and then he rolled his eyes and he slapped his thigh
and he fell over laughing as he grabbed his sides
“Times ain’t changed since the early days
men are still stupid and women are still crazy.”

When I was older growing up
not quite a man but not still a pup
I asked my mama for some love advice
and she put down her slide rule and she picked up some dice
she rolled a seven then he rolled 2 ones
she said snakeyes sonny youre just like everyone (because)
times aint changed since the early days
men are still stupid and women are still crazy

now Caesar he told Cleopatra
I know baby just what youre after
you think your loves gonna wear me down
she said julie baby ya got it turned around
You think my loves some palace plot
but I dont even know what I want
cause times aint change since the very first day
men are still stupid anw women are crazy-

Baby Was a Friend of Mine

BABY WAS A FRIEND OF MINE

the first time I saw her
I knew it was too late
a shadow fell across my soul
I asked her for a date

Baby was a pistol
way too hot to hold
baby was a big mistake
some things you cant be told

(but) baby…
was a friend of mine
baby…
was a friend of mine
she couldnt keep from cheating
she never did stop lying
but baby… was a friend of mine

Now, Baby drove me crazy
for almost seven years
then she drove away one day
with a repo-man from Sears

I found her in a Motel Six
out in San Berdoo
she was watching Lucy re-runs
and sniffing airplane glue
………………………ch…….
Now the last time I saw her
she said that it was fate
I thought for sure you’d save me
(she) said as she turned away

I thought i saw a tear
slide across her face
I thought I saw forever
just as it slipped away

Big Nasty World

Posted on by TK Major
Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Wake up each morning
and I reach for my Bible
I reach for my razor
and I reach for my gun

I reach for the dream
I was dreaming last night
but each single morning
that dream is gone

(cause it’s a) – Big Nasty World – a
terrible mean place
It’s hard to stay alive
and it’s hard to keep the faith

Its a rotten world – a
grim shabby place – but
out of the endless depths of time
honey, you’re here today

I’m tired of living, baby
and I’m tired of dying too
I’m tired of tomorrow
and all the shift-that-I-been-thru
I’m tired of forever
and I’m tired of yesterday
I’m tired of – never
and the man the child became

I used to love ya baby – and you know that’s true
I used to love God and you know that too
I used to love myself It was hardest of all
Loved the whole GD world but that was before the Fall

Circuit Breaker

Honey there’s a circuit breaker baby [Em7add9]
deep inside my heart
late last nite the whole thing blew
felt all my feelings stop

isn’t it amazing doll [Am7]
how fast it all can change [/fade]
the twitch of a tiny hand [Em7add9]
and today is yesterday

the love l felt for you was
like a frozen photograph
where you watch the ghosts appear
baby, step into the past

wasn’t there forever
at least for a little while
wasnt there a time for us
[and now/] too bad that’s out of style

Time for Another Flood

Posted on by TK Major
Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER FLOOD

People think heaven is behind the sky
People thinking crazy things and not thinking why
They think the answer’s going to fall from above
I think the answer is another flood

ch: It’s time, time for another flood
It’s time, baby, time for another flood

People live in wickedness and dwell in greed
They’ll murder their brother to get more than they need
They even rape the Mother and swim in her blood
I call on the Father for another flood

ch

All of this truth has all been a lie
Our immortal souls have already died
The time for salvation has come and gone
and all that’s coming now is another flood

ch
——————————————————-

Notes/Memo

This mashes up kinda cool — but very edgily — with “Wade in the Water” 

 

pop opera idea

Towers of the Rich (or something)

TIme for another Flood
Scared of the Light

can draw from a lot of already written songs

Anti-hero is a rich and powerful televangelist
who is afraid of fiery young minister
who televangelist thinks is the real thing and that both scares him
makes him aware of his the core-deep doubt that he’s hidden so long it’s second nature to him
but also stirs him to competition [ed: see girl/woman below]
but then he finds out that the fiery young preacher
is far more cynical or just plain evil or something.

How do I get a girl in this?

Obviously, she must be torn between them…

But you could have two couples with one competitive relationship targeting one of the women — the young one, beautiful and seemingly innocent? Or the still beautiful older woman (herself maybe a trophy-ish second wife somewhat younger than the televangelist?

Both. More opportunities to have the obligatory soprano and alto parts. I guess that’s why you see so many of these trapezoidal relationships…

like, of course, Who’s Afraid of Virginnia Wolf?

TONIGHT I GUESS WE’RE IN LOVE
(Your Eyes Have It Tonight)

I never felt like this ever before
well maybe just once or twice
I guess that it’s Love I can alaways tell
the answer is always in the eyes

[ch] Your eyes have it tonight
they glow like the stars above
your eyes have it tonight
Tonight I guess we’re in Love

I been around the world five or six times
I never saw nothing like you
All those places all thosere faces
It took all this time to find you

ch

Just got back from the Orient
I was doin a job for some friends
my letter of credits hung up I aint got no doughr
but at leastin you I got a freind

ch

Let me stay with you for a couple of days
I swear I won’t get in the way
I got some business — collect on a couple of markers
and then I’ll be on my way

Now, Baby, It’s Never

Now, Baby, It’s Never

Everything you say
seems to mean goodby
Though we talked forever
I never did know why

Now baby its never
our time wont come again
This time forever baby
This time it’s the end

Last night when you kissed me
it burned me to my soul
Everything I thought I knew
was all a lie I know

Now baby its never…

I walked along the aqueduct
just before the dawn
The sun looked old and tired as it came up
but at least the night was gone

Now baby its never…

Fell

HE MIGHTA FELL
(C)1991 TK MAJOR

They found his car
didn’t find a note
but they found this rose
lying by the side of the road

The sky was dark
when I got the call
her voice shook bad
She could barely talk at all

CH: the rocks were slick
you could never tell
the sea so far below him
he might ha’ fell

I knew he was sick
never knew how bad
but I know he fought it
with everything he had

I guess we’ll never know
what the end was like
I know he cursed the darkness
I hope he saw the light

CH: the rocks were slick
you could never tell
the sea so far below him
he mighta fell

*The rocks were slick
*from the winter rain

1:29pm Sep 12,1991
*ad nauseum-
