It's Good

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

Stranger

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

Swoop My Way

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

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

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

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
05:09
|
|||
|
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

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
