R. STEVIE MOORE'S KITCHEN
R. Stevie Moore
Knows what his fridge is for
It's where he keeps his underwear
It's where he keeps his beard (or beer)
He knows where the bathroom is
So, you'll never find him pissing in the sink
No, he doesn't piss in the sink
Unless he really has to.
Cause he's a superstar
With a great big car
And superstars don't piss in sinks
Unless their toilet's broken
Unless it's broken.
(c) 2025 Terry Burrows

I Wish Marvin Gaye’s Father Had Shot Me Instead
I dreamed that I was speaking in the House of Lords
And I was heckled by a porcupine
I was naked and I had no arms
Dancing to "I Heard It Through the Grapevine"
Woke up perspiring and picked up the phone
Someone told me Marvin Gaye was dead
I felt so bad I felt like suicide
I wished Marvin's father had killed me instead
I closed the wardrobe door and that was that
But wild erotic fantasies concerning Postman Pat
Would not leave my head while I was in thе shower
As I defaced thе picture of him on my talcum powder
As I reached for my clothes the Prince of Darkness then
Appeared to me amongst my underwear
I closed my eyes and found he was still there
With flecks of foam around his lips and barking
An angel burned the day that Marvin died
Like egg encrusted helicopters falling from the sky
God spoke to us and we were mystified
When all around us eggs were hatching little wailing demons
An angel burned the day that Marvin died
Like egg encrusted helicopters falling from the sky
God spoke to us and we were mystified
When all around us it was twenty years ago today.

ADULT TREE
(lyrics by William R. Anderson)
Seeing you comma being me
How do you say shopping spree?
Let's entwine, ooh touch so divine
Just get me home by suppertime
ohhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhh
Loving wife, canine pee
But your adult tree is growing on me
Growing on me
uhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhh
uhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhh
Just a lark, I believe it's just a spark
Good for my soul soul so so bad for my heart
Biding my time, hassling with frozen rhyme
You'll come around when you feel like mine
Yeaaahhh, Yeaaahhh, Yeaaahhh, Yeaaahhhhhh
Announcer:
"This was R. Stevie Moore,
Making songs like you've never heard before.
The hermit of Nashville
Couldn't stand still.
Shakin' in the seventies
Like a mad man hatter,
Crossing styles and inventing matter.
Turning silence into gold
And breathing life into the mold.
(mike drop!)"
"Now listen to this, will ya?
This is R. Stevie Moore growing,
Perverting the machine.
Infecting the mainstream.
Turning your record collection into cream.
(He doesn't piss in the sink
unless he really has to)"
"Wonderful, Wonderful World's Fair
Topic of Same Europe
Stool Pigeons and School Teachers,
Ballad of Ethos, Kookie Coma, A Thirst
Pop Music, Mighty Short Piece For All This Waste,
Moons, New Yorkus, I Not Listening,
Rockets By Two, Quarter Peep Show, The Fight,
Danny Newberry, I Need Your Love!
Next!"
"R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore!
R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore!
R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore!
R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore!
R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore!
R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore!"
Is it alright tonight if we stay out of sight?
Is it alright tonight if we stay out of sight?
It'll turn out alright if we don't die of fright
(RSM spoken:)
Darling, forever we shall be
Until there's no more time for eternity
And that stormy day, as roses wilt
And the sunlight in your еyes has been...
How do you say...irreflectеd
The moment that it is shown that our souls could not
Heaven forbid
Coalesce...
And you show me that your total cooperation is exhausted:
Get the shit out of here
Now.

I LIKE TO STAY HOME
I like to stay home
You go on out, just close the door
I like to stay home
Where it's safe and sound
and Nobody has a rifle
I don't care about about going anywhere
I don't think about about appearing anywhere
I got enough to do right here.
I like to stay home
Relax and read the facts of life
I like to stay home
Where it's safe and sound
and Nobody asks me what's wrong
I like to stay home!
I don't care about about movies or hockey games
I just need about about, Why is it jabberwocky blames me?
I got enough to do right here.
I like to stay home
And play guitar and play it back
I like to stay home
Where it's safe and quiet
In private, inside me
I think I'll stay home!
I don't care about about making any plans
I don't think about about showing up at the dance
Go without me got enough to do right here.
I like to stay home
You go on out and have a ball
I like to stay home, where it’s safe and quiet
In private inside me, inside me, inside me.

Colliding circles, colliding circles, contrasting
Colliding circles, round meets round, oh oh
Colliding circles, no hiding the girls are nasty
Colliding circles.
Lying down on its side means infinity
Colliding circles, our failure to communicate
Colliding circles, New Rose 31 is magic
Colliding circles, a shiny 10-speed
Colliding circles, bartenders' handlebar moustaches
Figure 8, number 8, lying down on its side means infinity
I'm a bowl, you're a plate, lying down on your side right next to me
I'm a pie, you're a cake, lying down on its side means infinity
I'm a wheel, you're the tire, lying down on your side right next to me
Colliding circles
Colliding circles, eyeglasses
Colliding circles, the US A & SR
Colliding circles, Reagan overrules... that bastard
Colliding circles, I'm afraid the bubbles will pop
Colliding circles, providing the world disaster
Colliding circles, our heads, our faces touch
Colliding circles, kiss me while you're here... fantastic
Colliding circles, permanent and unbreakable
Colliding circles....... period.

I H8 PEOPLE
Something bad is happening to me
And it has to do with all of you I see
Such a change I have never knew before
But it seems that I have pushed love out the door
I hate people
I hate people
I hate people
I hate people
In a bad mood, in a good mood
I never know which one to show
You always want what you don't have
I hate people
I hate people
I hate people
I hate people

THE MEETING THAT COULDN'T BE
Uhhhh! time for me to get up. what time is it anyway? i can't see the clock from where i lay here. and the one across the room i can't focus my eyes on. where's my glasses? i better stand up and stretch. this is the day that i meet you, for the first time i finally get a chance to meet you. and i must get ready, for it is late, later than i think. where's my watch? god, i can't find anything! what did i do last night? everything is lost in the shuffle
It's a rainy saturday morning
But that does not please me
I feel solemn and dismal
First i must put on a pair of pants
But i cannot decide which to wear
I'll try on the black pants
If i could only find them
There they are!
How did they get over there?
I must have left them there without thinking
I'll shake them out and slip them on
But no, the black pants are wrinkled
And there are little white spots on one leg
Can't wear them!
I'll have to remember to fix them up later
I guess i'll just find my jeans
And not worry about dressing up
Can i find the bathroom?
It's so dark!
Where's the sunshine i was promised?
Didn't i pray for a beautiful day last night?
A lot of good that did
There's my watch on the bathroom shelf
How did it get there?
I'm thinking of you
As i finish on the toilet
And then i wet my face
I still don't know which pants i'm gonna wear
Shirts are no problem
For some reason i take care of all my shirts
But i let my pants fall to the floor
And they get totally out of control
There, that feels better with my face washed
That's me in the mirror, huh?
Is that how i look?
I gotta get going
It's already 9:30 and i've got some driving to do
Here in my closet are many memories of
The days when we planned this meeting for today
Hope you're ready for me
Because i've suddenly grown out of sorts
And sometimes i can't help myself
My new life has made me fall behind
In self-responsabilities
And it takes me hours to prepare for anything
There's my glasses, on the desk
They must be cleaned
I put on a tony bennett album
And that helps to calm me down
It's hard enough waking up
With this special event coming up
It's cold in here!
Better get dressed
These jeans are filthy!
But they're all i can find
I'll wear that new white shirt
That's hanging in the closet, yeah
Choosing a tie is easy
Suddenly i'm ready. guess i'll leave
Is everything turned off?
Maybe i'll leave one light on
I might not be back until late
Got my money, cigarettes, lighter
I better take my driver's license
Where is it??
Goodness gracious
I'm so untogether this morning
I've got so much to think about
What if the car doesn't start?
Do i have your number
In case something were to happen?
Let's see, there it is
I'm surprised i didn't lose that too
I'm getting a little hungry
But there isn't time for that
I better go before i lose something else
At least it stopped raining
Now how do i get to your building?
I'll just have to stop at a service station
And ask for directions, i guess
As i look up and walk away
I realize that my meeting you is
The best thing that's ever happened to me
I've been waiting for this for a long time
And how hard to believe that today is the day
My car is soaking wet inside
Why did i leave the windows down?
Now my jeans are getting damp
And the car won't start
Come on!
Maybe i'll let it sit for a minute
And i'll pump the gas
I've got my fingers crossed
Now it's starting to rain again
Oh no!
I've got a feeling something's against me
It still won't start
Better roll up the windows & start walking
I'll br drenched by the time i get there
Is this what it takes
Just to meet you and be happy for once?
Why is this happening to me?
Oh god, it's starting to pour
I gotta turn back
I can't take it any longer
I'll just have to stay here
Until someone rescues me
Which might never happen
This is ridiculous!
I'm tired of living this way
Might as well take some dope, lots of it
Where did i put the pills?
There it is, and there's your picture
Will i ever see you again?
I better call you
And tell you what's going on
No answer, forget it!
I'm just gonna end it all
All these pills will take care of me
I'll just wait a little while
And then, no more problems
I just hope you call me before it's too late.

Goodbye piano
You're too overweight for me to take you with me
Into the hills, where rings are round the collar
They tell me not to worry 'bout the dollars
If it were not for you, I wouldn't bother, so
Goodbye piano
You're so out of tune that I assume you're dead
solo
Goodbye piano
Cause you're so old I should have sold instead
Goodbye piano (sorry)
You're so out of tune that I assume you're dead
Goodbye piano!
It was glorious knowing you the past month or two
But as usual, they're sending me away
Because I cannot supply the money they want
But wherever I go, I know I'll meet your brothers and sisters
And of course they would gladly let me play their boards all day long
Now you rest right here, okay?
You rest right here like a good little set of keys should
And don't let anyone give you a whipping
As long as you live, okay?

I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH TO BOTHER YOU
thinking bout my old girlfriend,
wishing we were in embrace,
i love you too much to bother you.
you could be my new girlfriend,
if only i could taste your face,
i love you too much to bother you,
i love you too much to covet you,
i love you too much to mother you,
i love you too much to care about me.
i know you've really had it with me,
i'm just a person in your past,
i love you too much to bother you.
feeling like my heart beats slow,
as time goes rushing by too fast,
i love you too much to bother you,
i love you too much to smother you,
i love you too much to care about me.
love was in a plane crash,
son of obituary,
love pushed on, the train tracks
what are you wearing i bet you're wearing,
dried blood
if you don't want to hear from me,
i guess i'll understand the truth,
i love you too much to bother you.
thinking about our old friendship,
regretting that it had an end,
i love you too much to bother you,
i love you too much to covet you,
i love you too much to care about me,
to care about me.

SHOWING SHADOWS
Once upon a time there lived a fancy babe
Dressed in shine and ju-ju undertow
Just about to break within a passing day
She was showing shadows, would the morning know?
No no no no no
All around the world there was an interest, yeah
Those with richer circumstance would come
Just upon arrival they would form a line
She was showing shadows, would the music go?
No no no no no ….. I don't know!
How about a big one? She would ask you then
On the screen the graphics would not move
Put your money there inside the estrus box
She was showing shadows, would the Texaco?
No no no no no
During the October season she was closed
And the lines of customers would sleep
While the king was eating, one day he found out
She was showing shadows, would the evening grow?
No no no no no
Yesterday the fun came to an end for sure
Fancy babe was found heaped on the floor
She created shadows til they did her in
She was showing shadows when they did her in
No no no no no

PLAY MYSELF SOME MUSIC
It's so quiet in here, hear the pin drop
Oh what can I do?
There's nothin' to do, just plop down in a chair
Listen to some tunes
Play myself some music, listen to side 2 first
Play myself some music, pretend I did not lose you
I been so sad all day, watching the clock
Oh what could I do?
My life is a bore, just lay down in the floor
Listen to some songs
Play myself some music, listen to side 3 first
Play myself some music, pretend I did not lose you
A ballad makes me think of you
A rocker makes me think of us
But silence makes me cry
I got all these records, but it's such a chore
To choose one
But I must play the game, get settled in the phones
Listen to LP’s
Play myself some music, listen to side 4 first
Play myself some music, pretend I did not lose you /
Play myself some music, listen to side 1 first
Drink myself some whiskey
Pretend I did not lose you
A rocker makes me think of us,
but silence makes me cry…
Silence makes me cry, silence….. cry.

as a pair

yeah uh huh alright come on
every night of lies i wanna cry
falling my friend

suicide won't do, so
i'll go away so you can't hear me say
that i love you
then you will see what it's like without me
in your hair
why should i love you
asthma chazza do (as much as I do)
i wanna sing
why should i love you
yeah uh huh alright come on
i'll go away so you can't hear me say
that i love you
then you will see what it's like without me
in your hair
why should i love you
asthma chazza do (as much as I do)
i wanna sing
why should i love you
yeah uh huh alright come on

ADULT TREE
(lyrics by William R. Anderson)
Seeing you comma being me
How do you say shopping spree?
Let's entwine, ooh touch so divine
Just get me home by suppertime
ohhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhh
Loving wife, canine pee
But your adult tree is growing on me
Growing on me
uhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhh
uhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhh
Just a lark, I believe it's just a spark
Good for my soul soul so so bad for my heart
Biding my time, hassling with frozen rhyme
You'll come around when you feel like mine
Yeaaahhh, Yeaaahhh, Yeaaahhh, Yeaaahhhhhh
Announcer:
"This was R. Stevie Moore,
Making songs like you've never heard before.
The hermit of Nashville
Couldn't stand still.
Shakin' in the seventies
Like a mad man hatter,
Crossing styles and inventing matter.
Turning silence into gold
And breathing life into the mold.
(mike drop!)"
"Now listen to this, will ya?
This is R. Stevie Moore growing,
Perverting the machine.
Infecting the mainstream.
Turning your record collection into cream.
(He doesn't piss in the sink
unless he really has to)"
"Wonderful, Wonderful World's Fair
Topic of Same Europe
Stool Pigeons and School Teachers,
Ballad of Ethos, Kookie Coma, A Thirst
Pop Music, Mighty Short Piece For All This Waste,
Moons, New Yorkus, I Not Listening,
Rockets By Two, Quarter Peep Show, The Fight,
Danny Newberry, I Need Your Love!
Next!"
"R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore!
R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore!
R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore!
R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore!
R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore!
R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore! R. Stevie Moore!"
Is it alright tonight if we stay out of sight?
Is it alright tonight if we stay out of sight?
It'll turn out alright if we don't die of fright
(RSM spoken:)
Darling, forever we shall be
Until there's no more time for eternity
And that stormy day, as roses wilt
And the sunlight in your еyes has been...
How do you say...irreflectеd
The moment that it is shown that our souls could not
Heaven forbid
Coalesce...
And you show me that your total cooperation is exhausted:
Get the shit out of here
Now.

Whoa! Straight to the top of the sequence! I agree with you, those two versions are fucking killer. Also loving that you're mixing up the sequence, intertwining songs.

Listening to the whole thing now. It's absolutely brilliant. It's the ultimate parody of pop culture. Where's your grammy award?

❤ dude, ^this is the best reaction anywhere of all time. U R IN THE KNOW. so timely. only you know and i know.... and i need more of that 'relevance' so much, aint gettin much at all from the world at large... so much fucking cynicism everywhere. and the big A & I: Apathy + Indifference. much much music.
i'm already exhausted by this suno, nuno; still anticipating resuming listening to yer further tracks. it's really too overwhelming of an experience, hard to describe. wilburys/lobos blew my mind to pieces. wanna cry in anguish, pretending they could be true big $$elling hit singles in another universe.
i am doomed.

Stop, you're overdoing everything
Just like your father did
And you, you never listen to me at all
Irony
What are you doing to me?
Why you always give me
Irony what are you giving to me
How can i be free?
And when i'm a victim of circumstance
I try to reason why i lose
I never quite understand at all
Irony
What are you doing to me?
Why you always give me
Irony what are you giving to me
How can i be free?
So if there's an explanation to this
It's so ironic 'cause i need
To figure out what i mean in all

Why you always give me

THE MEETING THAT COULDN'T BE
Uhhhh! time for me to get up. what time is it anyway? i can't see the clock from where i lay here. and the one across the room i can't focus my eyes on. where's my glasses? i better stand up and stretch. this is the day that i meet you, for the first time i finally get a chance to meet you. and i must get ready, for it is late, later than i think. where's my watch? god, i can't find anything! what did i do last night? everything is lost in the shuffle
It's a rainy saturday morning
But that does not please me
I feel solemn and dismal
First i must put on a pair of pants
But i cannot decide which to wear
I'll try on the black pants
If i could only find them
There they are!
How did they get over there?
I must have left them there without thinking
I'll shake them out and slip them on
But no, the black pants are wrinkled
And there are little white spots on one leg
Can't wear them!
I'll have to remember to fix them up later
I guess i'll just find my jeans
And not worry about dressing up
Can i find the bathroom?
It's so dark!
Where's the sunshine i was promised?
Didn't i pray for a beautiful day last night?
A lot of good that did
There's my watch on the bathroom shelf
How did it get there?
I'm thinking of you
As i finish on the toilet
And then i wet my face
I still don't know which pants i'm gonna wear
Shirts are no problem
For some reason i take care of all my shirts
But i let my pants fall to the floor
And they get totally out of control
There, that feels better with my face washed
That's me in the mirror, huh?
Is that how i look?
I gotta get going
It's already 9:30 and i've got some driving to do
Here in my closet are many memories of
The days when we planned this meeting for today
Hope you're ready for me
Because i've suddenly grown out of sorts
And sometimes i can't help myself
My new life has made me fall behind
In self-responsabilities
And it takes me hours to prepare for anything
There's my glasses, on the desk
They must be cleaned
I put on a tony bennett album
And that helps to calm me down
It's hard enough waking up
With this special event coming up
It's cold in here!
Better get dressed
These jeans are filthy!
But they're all i can find
I'll wear that new white shirt
That's hanging in the closet, yeah
Choosing a tie is easy
Suddenly i'm ready. guess i'll leave
Is everything turned off?
Maybe i'll leave one light on
I might not be back until late
Got my money, cigarettes, lighter
I better take my driver's license
Where is it??
Goodness gracious
I'm so untogether this morning
I've got so much to think about
What if the car doesn't start?
Do i have your number
In case something were to happen?
Let's see, there it is
I'm surprised i didn't lose that too
I'm getting a little hungry
But there isn't time for that
I better go before i lose something else
At least it stopped raining
Now how do i get to your building?
I'll just have to stop at a service station
And ask for directions, i guess
As i look up and walk away
I realize that my meeting you is
The best thing that's ever happened to me
I've been waiting for this for a long time
And how hard to believe that today is the day
My car is soaking wet inside
Why did i leave the windows down?
Now my jeans are getting damp
And the car won't start
Come on!
Maybe i'll let it sit for a minute
And i'll pump the gas
I've got my fingers crossed
Now it's starting to rain again
Oh no!
I've got a feeling something's against me
It still won't start
Better roll up the windows & start walking
I'll br drenched by the time i get there
Is this what it takes
Just to meet you and be happy for once?
Why is this happening to me?
Oh god, it's starting to pour
I gotta turn back
I can't take it any longer
I'll just have to stay here
Until someone rescues me
Which might never happen
This is ridiculous!
I'm tired of living this way
Might as well take some dope, lots of it
Where did i put the pills?
There it is, and there's your picture
Will i ever see you again?
I better call you
And tell you what's going on
No answer, forget it!
I'm just gonna end it all
All these pills will take care of me
I'll just wait a little while
And then, no more problems
I just hope you call me before it's too late.
