Wasted Boys
03:39
|
|||
The men my age without much thought
Waste away what they have got
But you can save it all for a rainy day
Cause when it rains I’ll be sleeping anyway always
But the wasted boys they’re only out for joys
They’re getting laid now
And all the smart young men they’re working late again
Can’t get a date now
Calling on the puppies
Calling on the Night
Anyone that can help me
In having a good time
But the wasted boys they’re only out for joys
They’re getting laid now
And all the smart young men they’re working late again
Can’t get a date now
And then the mom and dad ain’t seen their son around
They thing he’s dying now
But he ain’t raising hell yeah he just loves a gal
For the first time now
I said this whiskey tonight
Got me feeling alright
And I ain’t done nothing
In a long long time
To make you think that you might be mine
But the wasted boys they’re only out for joys
They’re getting laid now
And all the smart young men they’re working late again
Can’t get a date now
And then the mom and dad ain’t seen their son around
They thing he’s dying now
But he ain’t raising hell yeah he just loves a gal
For the first time now

Send Me Your Love
02:12
|
|||
Oh baby a sticky situation
Got me so far from home
Or maybe a frightening combination
Of the fact that I don’t want to go
And tell you that I love you dear
But at the same time I don’t want you here
You got to send me your love
You got to send me your love
You got to send me your love
You got to send me your love
You got to send me your love
You got to send me your love
You got to try
At this time I don’t know what I am
Don’t want to see you with another man
But when we’re spending all our time together
We’re like two ships out on the stormy weather
And while I want to hear your voice today
I want to hear it from miles away
You got to send me your love
You got to send me your love
You got to send me your love
You got to send me your love
You got to send me your love
You got to send me your love
You got to try

Pacific Blue
03:50
|
|||
Drag your feet Montana you got no place to be
And save a spot at the dinner table for me
For I’ll be passing through on my way to the sea
The magical cliffs of the pacific blue
So goodnight Vermont sleep silent in your bed
I know we’ve left words unsaid
And ten thousand books lay wait to be read
But I leave tonight for the pacific blue
So kiss your friends and cry goodbye but heed what I say
We’ll find love along the way
But it’s twice as hard to explain
That you’re leaving to the girl who just took your heart away
She could have been your wife one day
So weep ye farmers of Dakota plains
And curse you artists of Bloomington
Hang your head on east bound trains
So far from the Pacific Blue

|

You got to call me darling and give me something
To let me know you love me love me so
To let me know you love me so
Girls on the road they want to play
But your love’s been ringing in my ears all day
You got to call me darling and give me something
To let me know you love me love me so
To let me know you love me so
The boys want me to have a time
But I been telling them that my love
Is on the telephone line
You got to call me darling and give me something
To let me know you love me love me so
To let me know you love me fine
My baby love me fine

Small Town
03:24
|
|||
Cathrine and me at the lake with everyone that we knew
She said she loved me but then what else could she do
Because I know it’s not the choices we made
That lead us here for heaven sake
I know we’re only from a small town
There ain’t much around
Meet at my car after school yeah what should we do
Lay in my arms it’d be cool just laying around
Because I know it’s not the choices we made
That lead us here for heaven sake
I know we’re only from a small town
There ain’t much around
We’d smoke joints and listen to Minor Threat
And everything seemed alright
On your couch and kissing while your folks were out
And everything seemed alright
To me

Save You Irene
01:54
|
|||
I want to save you Irene
I want to save you
I want to save you Irene
I want to save you
In this little town all the boys are talking football
The girls are talking gossip
And now you’re just talking trouble
I want to save you Irene
I want to save you
I want to save you Irene
I want to save you
Ladies here are lying just to hurt your reputation
They don’t like that you’re making
What they wish they could be making
But you’ll come running away with me
And they’ll be fast but they can not beat me
So come away come away with me
I want to save you Irene
I want to save you
I want to save you Irene
I want to save you
Girls all hate each other but now this is out of control
You want to stay and fight them
But we all just want to go go go go
And you’ll come running away with me
And they’ll be fast but they can not beat me
So come away come away with me
So come away come away with me
So come away come away come away
With me

Happy Birthday
01:52
|
|||
Well the dancing’s barely started
And the cops are at the door
Bottle rockets in the yard, asking what are they for
The kids are starting shit and it’s hard to ignore
Well the punks are on the roof now
Oh yeah!
And somebody’s spilled the wine
Oh no
The record’s about to skip but it’s staying it time
The girls they’ve got to piss so they’re waiting in line
Happy Birthday to me and you
Happy Birthday to me and you
Happy Birthday to me and you
Happy Birthday to me and you

She
03:58
|
|||
She, she said she’d stay over
Cause she, she didn’t have a home
And I, well I tried to impress her
With my collection of books
And I, was happy for once
Yes I was
And she, yes she danced with strangers
Yes she, she loved everyone
And I, knew she weren’t true
Knew she couldn’t be true
Yes I do
But everybody's got someone they want
To hang on to and find
Her pride and past has proved you never could hold her
It’s useless to try
Still you’re along for the ride
She said the city don’t suit her
She said it all feels indoors
And I, watched her move on
Without a care and she’s gone
Yes I do
Watched her move on
No goodbye no so long
So long

Radio High
04:26
|
|||
As a boy I would sit in my room
And listen to the radio
TNT (Top Nine Tonight) we’d learn
The biggest hits this country could hold
Seattle sound would come raining on down
Turning up the volume on my little town
You know it’d
Bring to mind that radio high
With the waves passing by
And the songs are swirling
They’d go
Hot 97 would start all the parties at night
Home of Hip Hop and RnB
CBS on the dial is the best
For classics from the 60s
If you really wanted
To hear all the songs again dear
You could buy them on an album
Without the same feel
It didn’t
Bring to mind that radio high
With the waves passing by
And the songs are swirling
They’d go
And you could sing along
To an oldies song
All of the day it’s louie louie
Then in the night
Little Steven’s felt right
Then in the night
It’s coast to coast
Bring to mind that radio high
With the waves passing by
And the songs are swirling
Yeah it’d
Bring to mind that radio high
With the waves passing by
And the songs are swirling
Yeah it’d
Bring to mind that radio high
With the waves passing by
