Little Baby Doll

Baby said forever
just takes too much time
but Baby said “I’m here right now
so that should work out fine”
Little Baby…

“Veni, vidi, vici,”
Baby said when she came home
I said that’s fine for Caesar
but Babylon ain’t Rome
Little Baby…

Baby liked to gamble
with the things she said she loved
but Baby blew her hands
when push came to shove
Little Baby…

Baby played the vagabond
Baby played the whore
Baby played with fire
she’s not playing any more
Little Baby…

Saw her on the street one day
but I didn’t call her name
After all this time
I know that Baby’s still the same…
Little Baby
Little Baby Doll
Little Baby…

LONG version

Little Baby, Little Baby Doll

(capo at 3)

baby started somethin in 1986 em

and showin me new tricks
Little Baby g g,f#/b em
Little Baby Doll G g,f#/b em em
…

Baby said forever just takes too much time
but Baby said “I’m here right now so that should work out fine”
Little Baby…

Baby liked to gamble with the things she said she loved
but Baby blew her hands when push came to shove
Little Baby…

Baby played the vagabond, baby played the whore
baby played with fire
she’s not playing any more
Little Baby…

“Vini Vidi Vici” Baby said when she came home
I said that’s fine for Caesar, but Babylon ain’t Rome…

Baby barely knew the sound of a man saying no
Baby did not believe, when I said she had to go

Saw her on the street one day but I didn’t call her name
After all this time I knew that Baby’s still the same
(After all this time I know one thing, Baby will always be the same

…Little Baby, Little Baby Doll

scraps

Wake me up baby tell me a lie em (w/capo at 3)
I see right through them
but I never ask you why
Little Baby g g,f#/b em
Little Baby Doll G g,f#/b em em

Baby stayed in love just a little bit too long
baby had a chance to stay but baby got it wrong

Baby packed her things as thunder turned to rain

 

Someone Was Watching

someone was watching
I dont care what they saw
this terrible truth is a
secret all over the block

someone has fallen
someone can not get up
someone forgets what
someone was thinking of

now I don’t know what’s become of me
now I don’t know what’s become of me

toys sparkle in the sunshine
sixty-five years ago
I reach out and touch them
but it’s not like I dont know

whatever was just happening
its all just like a dream
but this time I cant wake up
this time — I can’t even scream

now I don’t know what’s become of me
now I don’t know what’s become of me

I Might Be the Wind
(I Might Be the Sea)

I might be this and I might be that
I might be a success or I might be flat
I might be them, I might be you
I might be the desert or the sky so blue

[ch] but wherever I go, whatever I do
I’ll never, ever stop loving you

I might be the wind, I might be the sea
I might be deep space for eternity
I might be a star way in the back
I might be a dog, I might be a cat
[ch]

I might be a virus in your PC
I might be a ghost on your TV
I might be a shadow where no shadow should
or a whisper from nowhere
that you almost understood
[ch]

[v-disc]
I might be day, I might be night
I might be wrong, I might be right
I might be bad, I might be good
but whichever way it goes, baby, it’s understood
[ch]

I might be the wind, I might be the sea
I might be deep space for eternity
I might be a dog, I might be a cat
I might be the chair, where sharon stone sat

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?
