It's Good 02:54
I don't really like too many people and you know it People and you know it's true I would rather be at home hangin' with my darling Hangin' with my baby And it's good And it's good I've got better things than you And I found 'em in the garbage Found 'em in a garbage can Forget your obligations 'Cause I'm hangin' in the gutter You'll be hangin' in the gutter, too And it's good And it's good
2.
Stranger 03:00
With a love so fine, we're gonna be alright Gonna be just fine, gonna have a time Take all your woes and run 'em down You don't need a lot to have a time Just like the old days, just you and I I'll bring me, you bring you That'll be alright 'Cause I'm feelin' like a stranger Feelin' like a stranger around here And darlin' don't be a stranger Don't be a stranger to me Blow off your plans They can wait They might know your laugh, or your pain Or your world, and they might relate And they might know you But you know I do Yeah, yeah
3.
Swoop My Way 03:20
Come on, swoop down my way Come along and you'll get that way Anytime you want a problem Lay your trouble on me Come on, baby, swoop my way If you're wrapped up in the madness Swept up in the scene You might think you've got a problem But you don't know what you mean How well can you know somebody? How well can you decide? Strangers only 'til you Endlessly categorize They say the world it ain't nobody's And I'm inclined to agree Sometimes I get that lonesome feeling I bet you know what I mean But I know that I don't mind That I can't help if you are free You don't have to please nobody And you'll get along with me

Girls 03:14
I love my girl My heart is hers But my first love had my soul My girl's so fine And all mine, all mine She don't know me like my true love used to When I'm beside her in the night I think this stuff With a ruler I can measure everything up It don't mean nothin' Without something to compare to There just seems to be one thing in the world You got a lot of trouble with You and me, we both know what it is There just seems to be one thing in the world You got a lot of trouble with You and me, we both know what it is My first love had my soul My girl's so fine And all mine, all mine She don't know me like my true love used to

Fog II 03:07
I don't wanna wait to find out what I'll do If I've gotta do something, then I can do it soon I don't care who doesn't think that it ain't strange It is, but if you want it, baby, that could be arranged Any time you want it I'm up on it Even though I missed it, I don't mean to spoil Your face of shiny porcelain when you wanna fill a void Dreamt I had you in the field, beneath the fog I tried to speak but I could only howl like a dog
6.
Echo 04:16
I don't think I see the thread that fits the needle I don't think there is a lace to match the shoe Only you I think of when I'm barely able To admit the thing I hoped that I would do There are plenty things to say that you don't bother And I won't ever mind it when you won't If you don't do anything, it won't really matter But you don't hold your position when you don't Don't it feel like an echo in your mind? Don't it feel like an echo in your mind? Resounding Bother me with things I don't relate to Ask what I don't wanna let you know Shift me where you wanna see me go to But do not trust I'll make it if I go I don't doubt you oughta know that I ain't fakin' Your disposition tells me it is so But just like somethin' that you don't remember I forgot to remember you don't know

You don't know the trouble that I kind of go through, if at all You don't know the kind of thing that I don't mind But I don't have to spend much time in pleasing Nor fix me up a spiral to unwind Some say love is sublime like in the movies Though proceed with caution for you may regret But I can't wait again to see my baby And I only stepped out for a cigarette Standin' on the looking end of freedom I wonder could I leave it all behind? I wonder what it means until I'm lonely Then flip back just the same as any time Bother me with things I don't relate to Ask what I don't wanna let you know Shift me where you wanna see me go to But do not trust I'll make it if I go It might be heard you outta be the one to go to Or maybe I just said that for a line Sometimes it don't come from such a bad place And now is just as good as any time Sometimes I can't see my own reflection Sometimes I weep and moan in rhyme If I can't find no one to pay me for my singin' Then I'll pay myself back one day at a time Days gone and quiet She's gold and violet And it's boring but I like it More than anything at all

Hey, my baby, can I walk with you? I've been inside of these four walls too long and it won't do I've been inside of these four walls too long and it won't do Hey, my baby, can I walk with you? Don't go to sleep thinking of the things you wished you've done You'll think your dream is over, but you'll find that it's just begun You'll think your dream is over, but you'll find that it's just begun Don't go to sleep thinking of the things you wished you've done Don't get ahead so quick, don't fall behind so slow I'm fine right in the middle, babe, more than you'll ever know I'm fine right in the middle, babe, more than you'll ever know Don't get ahead so quick, don't fall behind so slow It might make you wonder, it might feel a little bad When I need what I don't want but it's all that I ever had When I need what I don't want but it's all that I ever had It might make you wonder, it might feel a little bad If it turns a corner and they come for me and you On that fateful day well I know I will be true On that fateful day well I know I will be true If it turns a corner and they come for me and you
9.
On Your Own 02:27
You wished you cared, but you don't You can do what you want, but you won't Must be a tricky kind of situation You've gotta do that on your own Well, stomp it on the ground if you choose You can drag it through the mud if you find a use It could be this or anything, but don't stop remembering You've gotta do that on your own Well, if you don't mean nothin', you tell it like you do If you can't win you're scrounging for a lose It might have mattered once before But it's my problem never more You've gotta do that on your own
