San Bernardino Rose

Posted on December 31, 1982October 4, 2018 by TK Major

San Bernardino Rose

San Bernardino Rose
I am so alone
and there’s so many bad things
Bad things that I’ve done

I know you’re barely a woman
but I’d hope you’d come to understand
San Bernardino Rose
I want to love you
I want to be your man

Truck stop, French fries
Ketchup on your cheek in the pale moonlight
I hold you, you kiss me
I know it’s wrong when it feels this right

I know you’re barely a woman
but I’d hope you’d come to understand . . .

EMILY

On a lake
the faded yellow row boat
drifts in lazy circles

while I fall in love with you

Emily Emily
watch th sky go around
Emily Emily
watch the sky

Willows weep
tears melt in cool water
your white cotton dress
you warm brown legs
your deep green eyes

Emily

Emily Emily
watch the sky go around
Emily Emily
watch the sky

2 Dazed 2 Care

2 DAZED 2 CARE

Turn down this street
back down that alley
there is no escape and there is no stalling

The future is here
and it’s more of the past
All I remember
is falling and falling

Leave me alone
just let me be
with wounds this deep
they just have to bleed

Desperation is short supply
I used up my panic in the crises last year
It’s hard to worry, it’s hard to care
when you’re so tired of anger
and you’re so tired of fear

No point in crying, laughing or dreaming
no point in love, no % in fear
desperation is in short supply
so tired of anger
2 dazed 2 care

Not One of Those Dreams

Not One of Those Dreams

If I had time to count the lies
or that hours that you stole
it ain’t like me to wonder why
all the same there’s things
one need’t be told

I can see it in your smile
it’s there behind all your words
something dancing behind your eyes
I can tell that you think it’s
gonna be me that’s gonna get burned

It ain’t like you’re the only one
that ever threw away love
I’ve sinned your sins and some again
it’s all the same, it’s all been done

I can see it in your smile…

I’m not saying that I’m sorry
I won’t say I didn’t love you
I won’t say I didn’t have some dreams
but not once did I dream they’d ever come true

I can see it in your smile
it’s there behind all your words
something dancing behind your eys
I can tell that you think it’s
gonna be me that’s gonna get burned

Looking for Trouble

Posted on April 30, 1981December 26, 2022 by TK Major

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Some people say
Love is a game
but I’m telling you now that I wasn’t playing
when I fell in love with you

Here I go again
Looking for reasons where there aren’t any reasons
Here I go again
looking for trouble… I’m already in trouble

That day in my car
don’t say you don’t know
You held me so close
begging me to let go
I told myself you were just confused

Here I go again . . .

You always said
that it was fate
I’m telling you now
that I was framed
when I fell in love with you

Here I go again . . .

A dog barks
the wind howls through the night
I whisper your name and
I stare in the fire
I can’ keep myself from
calling out to you

Here I go again
Looking for reasons where there aren’t any reasons
Here I go again
looking for trouble… I’m already in trouble

2012-05-05 – This sounds good in DADGAD-1 with CAPO on 3rd fret (or, if you will, DADGAD+2 with no CAPO) and played in Dm, Bb ,, C

No Fool

JULIE V’S SONG

Sitting all alone by my telephone
Waited all day — but that’s okay
I could wait all night
and that would be all right

for a man/woman/love/love like you(rs)
I would wait all my life

Sometimes I pull myself together
and I go downtown
I’m all dressed up and I wander around
and I feel like a fool — I can’t stop thinking of you

When you’re all alone
this city’s so cruel

I walk along the river
until the stars come out
I sit by myself alone in the dark
and I wonder
Yes I wonder
I’m just like a child
but I am no fool

I know it’s over
its over

Notes/Memo

——————-
I walk down by the river
like we used to do
I think about me and I think about you
and I think about us–we were so in love

When I think about you I know
I’ll always be in love (love) (love)

Let’s Not Talk About Girls

let’s not talk about lonely nights
or waiting for her to come home
we all know what it’s like
don’t think that your’e all alone

let’s not talk about girls
let’s not talk about broken hearts
let’s not talk about love and
how love can tear you apart

let’s not talk about togetherness
hearth home or family
let’s not talk about how it all falls apart
for all the world to see

let’s not talk about girls
let’s not talk about broken hearts
let’s not talk about love and
how love can tear you apart

Having Fun

Posted on October 31, 1980 by TK Major

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

having fun

tired of making unneccessary sacrifices to convorm
with arcane dogmas of laughaby out-of-date, obscure religions?
Bored again with the fashionable ennui of atheism?
Fed up with the mere existence of existentialism?
Try the only NEW RELIGION that really makes sense in a decade
built on the threat of a plethora of radioactive, carcinogenic,
senseless calamaties! That religion?

H A V I N G F U N

There’s a startling new religion
sweeping all the subdivisions
Having fun is what they call it
Soon you’ll be a fun-a-holic

Well, there isn’t any priesthood
doctrine’s anything that feel’s good
It’s the one true religion
There’ll be no more revisions

Having Fun (on the job)
Having Fun (while at play)
Having fun (all night long)
Having fun (all through the day)

Well, we’re all upon a journey
going back unto the Funhead
When we finally arrive there
we’ll have all the fun we wanted

There are some say fun is boring
but to them I’ll give this warning
Have Fun while there’s time
because the Fun stops when you die

Having Fun (on the job)
Having Fun . . .

The Slam

THE SLAM

Went to the whiskey just the other night
did a little dance that I learned in the Times
Beach punk made a grab for my date
smashed by beer bottle right in his face

La La La La La La

Aint it great how the media
regulate your culture — tell you just who you are
10,000 kids and they just found themselves
cause they saw the punk report on the Evening News

La La La La La La

They threw me out on my face but that didn’t phase me
cause The Dance is Art and Art ain’t free
Well, I’m proud to be a Punk and I proved that’s true
when I pogo’ed through the window of the Emergency Room

Happy Birthday, Baby

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

happy birthday baby
there just aint much to say
we might be gone tomorrow
but at least we’re here to day

happy birthday baby
cmon its not so bad
cause each day is a victory
just dont count the wars you’ve had

it’s only just a number
we’re young as we feel
but I must be a thousand
1 more milleniums no big deal

the days they come and go
like dashes on a road
the highways going somewhere
but its just not ours to know

happy birthday baby
there just aint much to say
we might be gone tomorrow
but at least we’re here to day
