- A Cigarette Is All You Get
I'm all freaked out
I'm all tweaked out
I'm being chased by insects
And I wanna eat my cigarettes
I can't hang out
I'm all strung out
I've got to grab me by the throat
I've got to herd me like a goat
- Aching To Sneeze
I've been aching to sneeze
Begging please, pretty please
But i can't get the thing to come out
I've been down on my knees
I've been pissing on trees
But the evil thing just won't come out
Come on out, my pretty baby
- Afternoons and Coffeespoons
What is it that makes me just a little bit queasy?
There's a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy
I've had my lungs checked out with X rays
I've smelled the hospital hallways
Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime
- At My Funeral
I'm still young, but I know my days are numbered
1234567 and so on
But a time will come when these numbers have all ended
And all I've ever seen will be forgotten
Won't you come
To my funeral when my days are done
Life's not long
- Come Down to the Sinkhole
Come down to the sinkhole
Where the mud is thick and deep
Bring your special poison
The one that makes you go to sleep
Bring a stick for wild dogs
That hunt in packs at night
Bring firepower, if you can
- Get You In The Morning
I want it cheap, I want it now
I want it fast, and I want it with feeling
I want it deep, I want a vow
I want it to last, and I want it with meaning
I will come and get you in the morning
We'll just go and not give any warning
- Give Yourself A Hand - 01 Keep A Lid On Things
Who put the doggy in the doghouse?
You did, baby - you did
Who put your granny in the grannyhouse?
You did, baby - you did, baby
Who put the bad in the madhouse?
You did, baby - you did
Who put that junk in the junkhouse?
You did, baby - you did, baby
- He Liked To Feel It
There was a boy
Who liked to wiggle his tooth loose so he could show it
Then we'd watch
While he'd tie it to a doorknob, wind up, and then slam it
That was how he liked to have his teeth pulled out
He told us how he liked to feel it when it came out
- I Love Your Goo
I love your guts, I love your goo
Your ugly blood, your creepy heart
The heart that's true to me and you
I thank you
I'd eat your gum, I'd eat your goo
I love the blood that lights your eyes
And makes your lips the colour blue
- I'm Outlived By That Thing
I threw out a stupid common paperweight
And it went out into the country
To a place where other solid objects lie around
Well, it's quite hard, and so it's probably still there
And when I die, it will still be somewhere
Ha-ha, I'm outlived by that thing and stupid things like that
- In The Days of The Caveman
When you go on camping trips you're stuck right out in nature
Foraging the forests like a primate
Using sharpened tools instead of hotplates
Your thumb and forefinger supposed to show you're not a wild beast
You can hear their noises at night time
They don't have to keep a certain bedtime
- Just Shoot Me, Baby
Take off your mink coat, take off your muff
Get on the table and show us your stuff
Right here next to me
I'm a fat old man, sweatin' and huffin'
A gin in my hand and your pretty little muffin
Right here next to me
Just don't feed me with no tube
- Keep A Lid On Things
Who put the doggy in the doghouse?
You did, baby - you did
Who put your granny in the grannyhouse?
You did, baby - you did, baby
Who put the bad in the madhouse?
You did, baby - you did
Who put that junk in the junkhouse?
You did, baby - you did, baby
- Let It Feel Like Something Else
Rise up on your feet again
Wake yourself from your sleep
Seems it never ever ends
Like an ocean cold and deep
Let it feel like something else
Let it be a breeze
Let me be like someone else
- Mmm
Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn’t come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The cars had smashed so hard
Once there was this girl who
- Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
- Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm
Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The cars had smashed so hard
- Mmmm Mmm

Once there was a kid who
God into an accident and couldn't come to school

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
- Now You See Her
Her sugar lips, her chinney-chin-chin
Ooh la-la - Where has she been?
Her silvery voice, her sweet perfume
The light she brings into the room
Her sunny smile when she walks the walk
Hey evil eye, her crazy talk
Her simple face, her pretty head
Her fickle heart
- Put Me In A Corner Of Your Mind
You could be away for quite some time
But you'd never leave my foolish mind
You can step right on my foolish heart
You had me hooked, you had me from the start
Put me in a corner of your mind
Think of me and you from time to time
Take me to a place I'd rather see
- Sittin' on a Tree Stump
Listen to the grass that's out there blowin'
Look at that tractor just there sittin'
It's my name that the bottle's callin'
Listen to the goddamn song I'm singin'
Drink your wine, listen to the crickets
It's so fine out here in the thickets
Sittin' on a tree stump, that's the ticket, uh-huh
- Songbird
I listened to a bird that told me all
He seemed to make no sense as I recall
I listened to the bees, their buzzing sounds
Told nothing of the purpose of their rounds
The claws that tear, the fangs that bite
The placid pond, the bird in flight
The lion stalking 'round his kill
- Superman's Song
Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man
He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm
Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle
But Clark Kent now there was a real gent
He would not be caught sittin' around in no
Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing
Supermen never made any money
- Swatting Flies
Now that I've used up all my ideas
Here in my little house by the sea
I search for a usable memory but none comes to me
In grade one, my teacher could do embalming
She'd stuff the bodies of dead little birds
She told us if ever we found one, just to bring it to her
- Swimming In Your Ocean
When I'm sampling from your bosom
Sometimes I suffer from distractions like
Why does God cause things like tornadoes and train wrecks?
[CHORUS]
When I'm swimming in
When I'm swimming in your ocean
Floating aloft on creams
- The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead
(Let's begin)
D G
Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
D G
Spreading wisdom and cash around
D G
Fed the starving and housed the poor
- The Ghosts That Haunt Me
There's a skeleton in everybody's closet
I can think of one or two in my own room
But I would like to introduce them both to you
You'd shake their bony hands and so dispell the gloom
[CHORUS]
'Cause you're so kind
I know you would not mind
- The Huron Carol
The "Huron Carol" (or "'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime") is a Canadian Christmas hymn (Canada's oldest Christmas song), written in 1643 by Jean de Brébeuf, a Jesuit missionary at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons in Canada. Brébeuf wrote the lyrics in the native language of the Huron/Wendat people; the song's original Huron title is "Jesous Ahatonhia" ("Jesus, he is born"). The song's melody is based on a traditional French folk song, "Une Jeune Pucelle" ("A Young Maid").
- The Unforgiven Ones
The guilty and the innocents
The prisoners and the free
The ugly and the beautiful
The ones who are yet to be
Some are sinners, some repent
Some are never done
And then there's those like you and I
- There Are Many Dangers
If your toast gets stuck in the toaster
Do not put a fork in the toaster while it is hooked up, or look out
I did and I got caught in the current
Pulled me in and shook me while it held me tight
There are many dangers
They could be in a toaster or a common thing
You must keep a lookout
- Thick-Necked Man
We're talkin' about a thick necked man in the city
Build a pub a blood and sweat
Swears by God he'll stand by justice
He aint stood by justice yet
He gets them drunk and gets their money
They cash their welfare checks for stout
Now he throws them into the street
He's sucked you in, he'll spit you out
- Triple master blaster
Make it stronger, take it faster
Fake it longer, make it last her
Natural causes, fake disasters
Teeth and claws and slaves and masters
Pull it harder, push it faster
Here it comes, here it comes
It's the Triple-master-blaster
- Winter Song
I can't say that I miss my old dog much
And I've never looked back since I left home long ago
But I hoped a trip into the country
Would help remind me all the things I used to know
That's what I came for
That's what I hoped for
