All Because of You

[starting vocal note is 5th of scale]

[I] He shoulda
seen it coming
[iii] but he never [ii] dreamed
he’d have to watch her [I] leave
[I]She laughed all the way to
Austin
[iii] Cried the rest of the
[ii] way to New Or-[I]-leans

CH: [iii] Baby Doll, it’s ALL BECAUSE OF [ii] YOU
You [iii] always sow destruction
No matter what ya say you’re trying to [ii] do
[IV] Now you allways get
what-[iii]-ever it is
you [ii] want
and as [iii] long as I’ve known you
You [IV] always want
what [V] you ain’t [I] got
———————
I have loved you such a long long time
and you know I wouldnt say it if it wasnt true
You don’t have a heart
I’ve know
but I’m newly convinced there’s no soul
inside of you

ch 2] Yesterday’s toys
you throw them all away
you dont even stop to watch
their paper hearts in the flames
Like a goddess before
the gods learned how to feel
In your universe
your world
is the only one that’s real

bridge:
[vi] look here baby
I got the map on [iii]you
[vi] Every lie you tell
I can drill right [iii] through
[v] Baby Doll, the fall is coming [ii] soon
and [IV] when it falls
it’s [iii] all gonna [ii] be on [I] you

Whispering Her Name (She’s got Eyes Just Like an Old China Doll)

Posted on March 30, 1997May 7, 2021 by TK Major

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

old title: She’s Got Eyes (Just Like an old China Doll)

CH: She’s got eyes
just like an old china doll
They look painted on
and yet they’ve seen it all

All around Long Beach
and all the way to LA
the shattered lives are scattered
the hearts are spiked up on staves
— From the Ocean to the mountains
from the birthplace to the grave
Once you behold her
nothing will ever be the same

Everywhere you go
everythings about the same
they wander around dazed
just barely whispering her name
— They walk in front of buses
they throw themselves under trains
but the sick smile on their faces
show those sorry saps are still glad she came

[br] well I looked into her eyes
and I saw my life flash by
Now I wake up screaming
every night dreaming doll’s eyes

I looked into the void
and I saw myself fall in
i see it every time
i see it in her eyes
t’s always been

v3 Here I stand the last man to fall
under her spell
a moment close to heaven
an ice age on the cold side of hell
and how can I face
the other lost souls I find
When I laughed at all of them and then now
here am I the last one in line
CH

10,000 Years

10,000 years

Up against the wall
the moon was in her eyes
I felt her heart beat
I heard her sigh

I touched her cheek
a tear met my hand
Didn’t know it then
but that tear fell to her plan

ch] 10,000 years
is not a day too long
since the world began
I’ve been hangin round here
waiting for you to come along

F#m A E E x 2 // D A E E / D A E E // D A E E / F#m ~ D ~ / E E

I have seen that shining light
one too many times
I have heard the angels sing
while I riddled the devil’s rhymes

“I have seen your eyes
burn into my soul
I have seen the truth
and I will never again be whole”

I’d do it all again
and still come back for more
I know how it’s all gotta end
but I’ll never know what it’s all for

Until the end of time
there’s not that long to go
I thought I knew heaven’s secrets
what the hell did I know?

ch]
10,000 years
is not a day too long
since the world began
I’ve been hangin round here
waiting for you to come along

Somerset’s Mom

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

(I’m in Love with) Somerset’s Mom

ch: I’m in love with somerset’s mom
I’m in love with somerset’s mom

Ever since
we were kids
I’ve been in love
with that mother of his

All thru hi skool
I was burning up
I tried to tell her
I wasn’t man enuff

went away to college
as far as I could
dated girls my age but
it didn’t do no (gnikcuf) good

Now I’m back
with a PHd
but I don’t even understand
my own phy-chol-o-gy

Only 1 thing got me
feeling bad
looks like I might end up being
Somerset’s dad.

Forget Her Eyes

Posted on August 27, 1996 by TK Major

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Forget Her Eyes
[aka Swim or Die]

forget her eyes forget her voice
forget her soft caress
she’s just some phony made up girl
up inside your lonely head

forget the night that could have been
the time that never was
forget the dreams that turned to lies
then crumbled into dust

swim or die
it’s understood
I know just what to do
swim or die
it sounds- so – good
if I could only move

the waters cold
the moon is pale
the lights sparkle on the pier
the musics faint & far away
the ocean’s like a mirror

I see myself for what I am
it all becomes so clear
just a wave upon the sea
and this ocean’s just a tear

swim or die
it’s understood
I know just what to do
swim or die
it sounds- so – good
if I could only move

Losing Lisa

Posted on July 15, 1996 by TK Major

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

I’ll Be Losing Lisa (There’s No Pleasing Lisa)

Lately it looks like I’ll be losing Lisa
Danged if there’s a thing I can do to keep her
It scares me what I used to do to please her
‘Cause now I know there’s just no pleasing Lisa

Now I know — there’s no pleasing Lisa
Now I know — there’s no pleasing Lisa

Gave all my records and my stereo to Lisa
gave up my band and dropped out of school — all for Lisa
Tattoed her name in a secret place — it said “Lisa”
What a waste of time ’cause nothing ever pleases Lisa

CH Now I know…

Bridge

Got a second job just to buy nice things for Lisa
Laptop, cell phone, wetbar in her car — all for Lisa
But she’s not impressed, she’s not happy yet — that’s just Lisa
‘Cause nothing in the world will ever please that girl — that’s our Lisa

CH Now I know…

Kristin (Was Never Here)

Posted on July 3, 1996 by TK Major

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Kristin was never here [ch]
Kristin was never here
(You) didn’t see her slip in the back way
You didn’st see her float up the stairs
You didn’t see her perfect hand on my door
Because Kristin was never here

She loves me twice as much as him
Lord, I know that’s true
but she loves those kids 10000 times more
and, man, I know that too

Nothing adds up or works out right
Nothing’s gonna make it so
I’ve run the numbers a million times
at the bottom line I gotta go

-ch-
one last time (I swear) we only kissed
for a moment there were only two
eternity is where parallel lines meet
and all lies are true

You’re Too Much Trouble, Christine

You’re too much trouble, Christine
You’re too much trouble, Christine
You’re too much trouble, Christine
So Why do I love you, Christine
You’re too much trouble, Christine

Christine on a beach, Christine on a plane
Christine in a cafe with the boulevardiers
Christine on the set Christine in my head
Christine in my heart and tearing up my bed

You’re too much trouble, Christine…

Christine I’m terrified just holding your hand
Christine you twist me like no one else can
Christine you’re crazy but you got a plan
world domination begins with one man

You’re too much trouble, Christine
You’re too much trouble, Christine
You’re too much trouble, Christine
So Why do I love you, Christine
You’re too much trouble, Christine

When Ashley Said Goodbye

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

When Ashley Said Goodbye

Amber said hello when Ashley said good-bye
I said hold on but there’s no wondering why
when love wants in, love can knock down yer door

I said Amber, I think this is forever
she said baby you’re yanking on my tether
when all is said and done love will even up the score

Love will fool ya love can kill ya
love is all that love can give ya
and still you keep coming back for more

love is funny; love is cruel
love will make einstein act just like a fool
love will make a tomcat dive in-a swimmin’ pool

All these toys all these games
all these pretty doll houses going up in flames
if you play around enough you know you’re gonna get burned

Love will fool ya – love can kill ya
love is all that love can give ya
and still you keep coming [crawling] back for more
