The tune (almost)
[Go to Song Page]
Once, there was a tune
And everyone knew how it went
But as time went by
People began to forget
Until at last, no one could remember
And there was hatred, wars and death
And then one day somebody said
N'no, I can't play with you right now
Phydeaux, just sit there, sit
And there were wars and, [sigh] oh yeah
And then one day somebody said
No, no, I'm busy right now
Just take your ball and sit okay
Okay
And there was hatred and wars and death
And then one day somebody said
How does the tune go
There is no tune, there never was
It's only a myth
These were the philosophers
You mean there's no tune at all
Well, it doesn't really matter what tune you play
As long as you play something
And you don't hurt anybody
These were the religious leaders
And so
Um uh, what you want
Huh
I can't play with you right now. I told you
Oh, okay, but we’ll have to come right back
Now come on, come on
[Sound of footsteps receding, then door opening and closing]

why can't you be good
[Go to Song Page]
Like to sing a song for you about teenage or marital love [Spoken]
La la
La la la la la la
Oh why can't you behave
Why can't you be good
You don't even try
To do the things you should
Well what is the reason
I'd like to know
Why you can't be good
You go into the bedroom
You say you got to powder your nose
But the powder is cocaine
I see traces on your clothes
Well what is the reason
I'd like to know
Why you can't be good
Take another look inside your dreams tonight
When you go to sleep
Try and find the reasons why you've lost your way
Like some little sheep
You say that you love me
You say your love is true
But you’ve got so many other lovers
Well what am I s’posed to do
Well what is the reason
I’d like to know
Why can't you be good
Just be good baby, just be good
Just try you know, just try to be good
You don't have to be perfect
Just, just be good
Sometimes I stay around all night waiting for you to come back
You don't come back, you don't come back
You come home late yeah the next day yeah
Why can't you be good
It gets a little bit lonely sometimes, gets a little lonely
It gets a a little bit lonely baby
Woah, waiting for you
Be good, be good, be good
Like to sing a song for you about teenage or marital love [Spoken]

Woah, waiting for you
Be good, be good, be good
just like a woman
[Go to Song Page]
Nobody feels my pain
Tonight as I stand out in the rain
Everybody knows
That baby's got new clothes
But lately they see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
She takes just like a woman, yes she does
And she fakes just like a woman, yes she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
Queen Mary, she's my true friend
Yes I believe I'll go talk to her again
Nobody has to guess
That baby won't be blessed
'Cause she finally sees that she's like all the rest
With her drugs, her silver spoon and her pearls
Ah she takes just like a woman, yeah
And she makes love just like a woman, yes she does
And she fakes just like a woman
Oh but she breaks just like a little girl
It was raining from the first
And I was dying of thirst
So I came in here
Well your long time curse hurt
But what was much worse
Was all the pain in here
Oh, I just couldn't stay in here
You made it so clear
That I just never fit
In all your dreams
And that is why you split
So if we meet again
Introduced by friends
I won't let on that I knew you when
I was so lonely but you were out in the world
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes you do
And you make love just like a woman, yes you did
And you take love just like a woman
But you break just like a little doll
Nobody feels my pain
Tonight as I stand out in the rain
Everybody knows
That baby's got new clothes
But lately they see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
She takes just like a woman, yes she does
And she fakes just like a woman, yes she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
Queen Mary, she's my true friend
Yes I believe I'll go talk to her again
Nobody has to guess
That baby won't be blessed
'Cause she finally sees that she's like all the rest
With her drugs, her silver spoon and her pearls
Ah she takes just like a woman, yeah
And she makes love just like a woman, yes she does
And she fakes just like a woman
Oh but she breaks just like a little girl
It was raining from the first
And I was dying of thirst
So I came in here
Well your long time curse hurt
But what was much worse

Oh, I just couldn't stay in here

And you take love just like a woman
But you break just like a little doll
deep blue
[Go to Song Page]
I stay at home
An' you know I drink to pass the time away
But it only brings me back to yesterday
I put the coffee on and I listen to the radio
But keep looking at the telephone
I've been thinking about you for a long long time
I've been sinking in deep blue and my future's black
Oh baby come back
Mmm mmm hmm
No matter what I do
I just can't forget the love we had
Well I can't erase my mind and just forget about you, no
It's gone beyond all that
And I've got to have your love again
'Cause I've got to make my heart stop breaking
I've been thinking about you for a long long time, ye-ah
I've been sinking in deep blue and my future's black
Oh baby come back
You're all I think about
Baby come back
La la la la chu la la [x2]
La la la la chu la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la chu la la
La la la la chu la la la
The days and weeks fly by
And I watch my feelings slowly die
I can feel the hope inside me pass away
I lost my health, I lost my love
I lost my will to live
I'm a heartbroken fugitive
And I've been thinking about you for a long long time, hmm-mmm ye-eh
And I've been sinking in deep blue and my future's black
Oh oh, I’ve been thinking about you baby
Not easy living without you
I've been thinking about you
And I keep hoping you'll come back
I keep hoping you'll come back
You never treated me right
All we ever did was fight
I thought I couldn't live without you baby
But something happened to me last night
You wanna know what it was
Uh-huh, okay I'll tell you
I planned to end it all
And I went back to my hotel room
And I locked the door closed with a broom
I opened up the drawer and I reached inside to get my gun
But found a bible from the Gideons
And I'll be thinking about it for a long long time, ye-eh, ah ha
I'll be thinking about it for a long long time
I’ll be thinking about it for a long long time
I wonder how it got there
I'll be thinking about it for a long long time
I didn't put it there, I didn't even know it was there
I'll be thinking about it for a long long time
Surprise surprise
Mmm m-m-m-mmm m-m-m-mmm
M-m-mmm, m-m-mmm, m-m-mmm [x4]
Long long time
Oh-ah oh oh-ah la oh-ah
Oh-ah la oh-ah la oh-ah
Yeah yeah yeah ye-ah
I stay at home

But it only brings me back to yesterday
