Pariah

Recommended Posts

As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a poor cowboy wrapped up in white linen
All wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay

"I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy"
These words he did say as I proudly stepped by
"Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story
I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die

"'Twas once in the saddle I used to go ridin'
Once in the saddle I used to go gay
First lead to drinkin', and then to card-playing
I'm shot in the breast and I'm dying today

"Let six jolly cowboys come carry my coffin
Let six pretty gals come to carry my pall
Throw bunches of roses all over my coffin
Throw roses to deaden the clods as they fall

"Oh, beat the drum slowly, and play the fife lowly
And play the dead march as you carry me along
Take me to the green valley and lay the earth o'er me
For I'm a poor cowboy and I know I've done wrong"

We beat the drum slowly and played the fife lowly
And bitterly wept as we carried him along
For we all loved our comrade, so brave, young and handsome
We all loved our comrade although he done wrong

Take a girl like that
And put her in a natural setting
Like a cafe for example.
Along comes the boy
And he's looking for trouble
With a girl like that
With a girl like that.
Who knows what they'll decide to do.
Who knows what they'll get up to.
I'd love to know.
Wouldn't you ?

 

I love to listen to Beethoven...

 

You think you know just what you want
But you have used that weapon against me.
Did I tell you I was lying by the way
When I said I wanted a new mink coat.
I was just thinking about
Something sleek
To wrap around my tender throat
I was dreaming like a Texan girl
A girl who thinks she's got the right to everything.
A girl who thinks she should have
Something extreme.

 

I love to listen to Beethoven...

Well I'm-a write a little letter
I'm gonna mail it to my local D.J.
Yeah and it's a jumpin' little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven
I gotta hear it again today

 

You know my temperature's risin'
The jukebox's blowin' a fuse
My heart beatin' rhythm
And my soul keep-a singing the blues
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news

 

I got the rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I caught the rollin' athritis
Sittin' down at a rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven
They rockin' in two by two

 

Well if you feel and like it
Go get your lover then reel and rock it
Roll it over then move on up, yes-a
Try for further then
Reel and rock with one another
Roll over Beethoven
And dig these rhythm and blues

 

Well early in the mornin'
And I'm givin' you my mornin'
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle-diddle, I'm-a play my fiddle
Ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news

 

You know she wiggle like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
You oughta see 'em reel an rock
Long as she got a dime
The music will never stop

 

Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven
And dig these rhythm and blues

Well c'mon darlin'
The stars are burning bright
C'mon now darlin'
Our luck is good tonight -
'Cause we're the all time winners
In the all time loser's game
Yea we're the all time winners
And here we go again

 

The king & queen of America...

 

Yea it's the king of nothing
And the queen of rage
With a pile of confusion
Upon a glittering stage
You know we never did anything
To make ourselves feel proud
You know we never did anything
So let's play it loud

 

Let's hear it for the -
King & queen of America...

 

So c'mon darlin'
There's a big moon in the sky -
We're gonna build
A little satellite -
We're gonna make it fly...

 

We're gonna send it up to heaven
All the way up to the stars
And all of them aliens
Are gonna find out
Who we are -

 

We're talkin' 'bout the
King & queen of America

Don't you wonder sometimes
'Bout sound and vision

 

Blue, blue, electric blue
That's the colour of my room
Where I will live
Blue, blue

 

Pale blinds drawn all day
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Blue, blue

 

I will sit right down, 
Waiting for the gift of sound and vision
And I will sing, waiting for the gift of sound and vision
Drifting into my solitude,
over my head

 

Don't you wonder sometimes
'Bout sound and vision

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

 

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die

 

Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

 

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die

 

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I naturally fled

 

In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye

 

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I naturally fled

 

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die

What a difference a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

 

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

 

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

 

It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

 

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

 

It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

Ever since you've been leaving me
I've been wanting to cry
Now I know how it feels for you
I've been wanting to die
But it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes


Time has gone since I've been with you
We've been starting to die
Now it seems you don't care for me
And I don't understand why
But it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes

 

Ever since you've been far away
I've been wanting to fly
Now I know what you meant to me
I'm the one who should cry
And it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes

 

Ever since you've been leaving me
I've been wanting to cry
Now I know how it feels for you
I've been wanting to die
But it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes

 

Ooh... Ah.....

 

Dit dit dit dit doo
Ba da ba da ba da ba... Ba
Ba ba ba ba ba... Ba ba ba ba ba... Ba

So this ain't the end, I saw you again, today
I had to turn my heart away
Smiled like the sun, kisses for everyone
And tales, it never fails

 

You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down on my knees
Now wouldn't you, Barracuda ? Oh

 

Back over time we were all trying for free
You met the porpoise and me
No right, no wrong you're selling a song, a name
Whisper game

 

If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn to the wick
Oooo, Barracuda, oh yeah

 

"Sell me, sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep to save my head
You, I think you got the blues too

 

All that night and all the next

Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools, silly, silly fools

 

If the real thing don't do the trick, no

You better make up something quick

You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
Oooo, Barra-Barracuda
Yeah
Ohhhhhh yea

Well I was born an original sinner.
I was borne from original sin.
And if I had a dollar bill
For all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money
Piled up to my chin...

 

My mother told me good
My mother told me strong.
She said "be true to yourself
And you can't go wrong."
"But there's just one thing
That you must understand."
"You can fool with your brother -
But don't mess with a missionary man."

 

Don't mess with a missionary man.
Don't mess with a missionary man.

 

Well the missionary man
He's got God on his side.
He's got the saints and apostles
Backin' up from behind.
Black eyed looks from those Bible books.
He's a man with a mission
Got a serious mind.
There was a woman in the jungle
And a monkey on a tree.
The missionary man he was followin' me.
He said "stop what you're doing."
"Get down upon your knees."
"I've got a message for you that you better believe."

 

Don't mess with a missionary man.
Don't mess with a missionary man.

Would I lie to you ?
Would I lie to you honey ?
Now would I say something that wasn't true ?
I'm asking you sugar
Would I lie to you ?

 

My friends - know what's in store.
I won't be here anymore.
I've packed my bags
I've cleaned the floor.
Watch me walkin'.
Walkin' out the door.

 

(Believe me - I'll make it make it)

 

Tell you straight - no intervention.
To your face - no deception.
You're the biggest fake.
That much is true.
Had all I can take.
Now I'm leaving you

(Believe me - I'll make it make it)

 

Would I lie to you ?
Would I lie to you honey ?
Now would I say something that wasn't true ?
I'm asking you sugar
Would I lie to you ?

 

(Watch me - watch me! Ooh yea)

I'm in love with a German film star
I once saw in a bar
Sitting in a corner in imperfect clothes
Trying not to pose
For the cameras and the girls
It's a glamorous world

I once saw in a movie
Playing the part of a real troublemaker
But I didn't care
It really moved me, it really moved me

We've been playing now for much too long
And never gonna dance to a different song
I'm gonna scream and shout till my dying breath
I'm gonna smash it up till there's nothing left

 

Ooh smash it up
Smash it up smash it up
Ooh smash it up
Smash it up smash it up

 

People call me weird, oh it's such a shame
Maybe it's my clothes, must be to blame
I don't even care if I look a mess
Don't wanna be a sucker like all the rest

 

Smash it up
And you can keep your crystal glasses
Smash it up
And you can see a very dead-way end
Smash it up
And you can stick a frothy lager
Smash it up
Up the f**k with your lesson

 

We've been playing now for much too long
And never gonna dance to a different song
I'm gonna scream and shout till my dying breath
I'm gonna smash it up till there's nothing left

 

And everybody's smashing things down
I said everybody's smashing things down

You said, you recall about seven years ago now
You said, that you we're so tough
And I loved it, oh
Loved you for putting me down in a totally new way
Down with, the bad old, sad old days
(Get away now)
But now, too much pain for too little gain
And I feel like I'm gonna strike back right now

 

Gonna withdraw my labour of love
Gonna strike for the right to get into your heart, yeah
Withdraw my labour of love
Gonna strike for the right to get into your cold heart
Ain't gonna work for you no more
Ain't gonna work, for you no more

 

Ha, easy, I noticed you said it never was gonna be easy
But not this hard
You're so cold, so cold
The romance goes when the promises break
My mistake was to love you a little too much

 

Gonna withdraw my labour of love
Gonna strike for the right to get into your heart, yeah
Withdraw my labour of love
Gonna strike for the right to get into your heart, baby now
Withdraw my labour of love
Gonna strike for the right to get into your heart, yeah
Withdraw my labour of love


Gonna strike for the right to get into your cold heart
Ain't gonna work for you no more
Ain't gonna work, for you no more

 

I can't stand it, I said I just don't want it
Never gonna need it, anyway yeah
I can't stand it, I said I just don't want it
Never gonna need it, anyway
I don't want you, I don't need you
I don't need your tricks and treats
I don't need your ministration, your bad determination
I've had enough of you, and your super-bad crew
I don't need your, I don't need your
Pseudo-satisfaction baby
I can't stand it, I said I just don't want it
Never gonna need it, anyway yeah
I can't stand it, I don't want it
I don't need your pseudo-satisfaction baby

 

Withdraw my labour of love
Gonna strike for the right to get into your heart
Withdraw my labour of love
Gonna strike for the right to get into your heart
Withdraw my labour of love
Gonna strike for the right to get into your heart
Withdraw my labour of love
Gonna strike for the right to get into your cold heart
Ain't gonna work for you no more

What did I do wrong ?
Oh you nearly drove me cuckoo
Am I really all that bad ?
You're worse than Hannibal Lechter, Charlie Manson, Freddie Krueger
Why are we still together ?
Oh I can't leave until you're dead
You mean 'til death do us part ?
I mean like cyanide, strangulation or an axe to your head
It was lucky for us I turned the radio on
They say that music soothes the savage beast
There was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red
The two of us would surely have ended up dead

 

You stopped us from killing each other
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
You'll never know but you saved our lives
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
I could never throw my knickers at you
And I don't come from Wales

 

So haven't solved our problems
You mean we hate each others guts
I still wanna poison your pizza
And I still wanna cut off your nuts
I phoned the marriage guidance
I tied the phone line round your neck
I'm sick of all this hatred
Well that will be the arsenic making you sick
You were about to drive me over the edge of a cliff
As I tried to jump out I knocked the stereo on
You changed your mind and then slammed on the brakes
It was lucky for us we bought his greatest hits

 

You stopped us from killing each other
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
You'll never know but you saved our lives
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
I could never throw my knickers at you
And I don't come from Wales

 

And now the war is over
I've lost the urge to break your neck
I owe my life to What's New Pussycat
Delilah stopped me hating you and wishing you dead
Oh I used to call you Satan
And you were Cruella De'Ville
And now you call me your Delilah
And I am not your Lucifer
And I am just your pussycat
But just a word of warning now
Just in case we ever get tired of his voice
I know the Mafia, Godzilla, King Kong
And I know an atom that's bomb going for a song

 

You stopped us from killing each other
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
You'll never know but you saved our lives
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
I could never throw my knickers at you
And I don't come from Wales

 

You stopped us from killing each other
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
You'll never know but you saved our lives
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
I could never throw my knickers at you
And I don't come from Wale

A thousand thundering thrills await me
Facing insurmountable odds gratefully
The female of the species is more deadly than the male
Shock shock horror horror, shock shock horror!
I'll shout myself hoarse for your supernatural force
The female of the species is more deadly than the male

Oh she deals in witchcraft
And one kiss and I'm zapped

Oh how can heaven hold a place for me
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me ?
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me ? 

Frankenstein and Dracula have nothing on you
Jekyll and Hyde join the back of the queue
The female of the species is more deadly than the male
Oh she wants to conquer the world completely
But first she'll conquer me discretely
The female of the species is more deadly than the male

Oh how can heaven hold a place for me
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me ?
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me ? 

 

Oh how can heaven hold a place for me
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me ?
When a girl like you has cast a spell on me ?

Calling all avenging angels
Vengeance you know it tastes so good
vengeance is as cold as ice
When it has you in it's sights
When it has you in it's sights

 

Calling all avenging angels (angels, kick ass angels)
Calling all avenging angels (angels, kick ass angels)

 

You could give a call to Scotland yard
Or send for help from the FBI
But they wouldn't stop a bomb going off
With only seconds on the clock

 

Calling all avenging angels (angels, kick ass angels)
Calling all avenging angels (angels, kick ass angels)

 

Angel, oh angel
Here to brighten my darkest day
Take me in your arms
Protect me from my enemies (enemies)
Oh deadly angel, Oh angel
And when they've got me on my knees
And when they're just about to do the deadly deed
You rescue me, rescue me, rescue me !

 

Calling all avenging angels (angels, kick ass angels)
Calling all avenging angels (angels, kick ass angels)

Who lives in a house like this ? 

Who lives in a house like this ? 

 

In number 69 there lives a transvestite
He's a man by day, but he's a woman at night
There's a man in number 4 who swears he's Saddam Hussein
Says he's on a chore to start the third world war


Oh, if you find the time, please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood

 

In 110 they haven't paid the rent
So there goes the TV with the repo men
In 999 they make a living from crime
The house is always empty cuz they're all doing time

 

Oh, if you find the time, please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood, my, my, my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood, my, my, my beautiful neighbourhood

 

Who lives in a house like this ? 

Who lives in a house like this ? 

 

In number 18 there lives a big butch queen
He's bigger than Tyson and he's twice as mean
In 666 there lives a Mr Miller
He's our local vicar and a serial killer

 

Oh, if you find the time, please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood, my, my, my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood, my, my, my beautiful neighbourhood

 

Who lives in a house like this ? 

Who lives in a house like this ? 


Oh they want to knock us down, cuz they think we're scum
But we will all be waiting when the bulldozers come
In a neighbourhood like this you know it's hard to survive
So you better come prepared cuz they won't take us alive

Workin' like a dog for the boss man
Workin' for the company
I'm bettin' on the dice I'm tossin'
I'm gonna have a fantasy
But where am I gonna look ?
They tell me that love is blind
I really need a girl like an open book
to read between the lines

 

Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up 'til I hit the ground

 

Jackie's in the elevator
Lingerie second floor
She said 'can I see you later
And love you just a little more ?'
I kinda hope we get stuck
nobody gets out alive
She said I'll show ya how to fax in the mailroom honey
and have you home by five

 

Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up 'til I hit the ground

 

In the air, in the air, honey one more time not, it ain't fair
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm goin' down

 

Love in an
elevator
goin' down

 

Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up when I hit the ground

 

Gonna be a penthouse pauper
Gonna be a millionaire
I'm gonna be a real fast talker
and have me a love affair
Gotta get my timin' right
It's a test that I gotta pass
I'll chase you all the way to the stairway honey
Kiss your sassafras

 

Love in an elevator
Lovin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up 'til I hit the ground

 

Do you care ? Do you care ?
Honey one more time now it ain't fair
Love in an elevator
Livin' it up when I'm goin' down

Life is hard
And so am i
You'd better give me something
So i don't die 

 

Novocaine for the soul
Before i sputter out 

 

Life is white
And i am black
Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back
Oh my darling
Will you be here
Before i sputter out 

 

Guess whose living here
With the great undead
This paint-by-numbers life
Is f*****g with my head 
Once again 

 

Life is good
And i feel great
'cause mother says i was
A great mistake

 

Novocaine for the soul
You'd better give me something
To fill the hole
Before i sputter out

Now it seems to me
That you know just what to say
Words are only words
Can you show me something else
Can you swear to me that you'll always be this way
Show me how you feel
More than ever baby

 

I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Just another heartache on my list

 

I don't wanna be angry no more
You're the one who could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore

 

Now its hard for me with my heart still on the mend
Open up to me like you do your girlfriends
And you sing to me and it's harmony
Girl, what you do to me is everything
Make me say anything; just to get you back again
Why can we just try

 

I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Just another heartache on my list

 

I don't wanna be angry no more
You're the one who could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore

 

What if I was good to you, what if you were good to me
What if I could hold you till I feel you move inside of me
What if it was paradise, what if we were symphonies
What if I gave all my life to find some way to stand beside you

 

I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Just another heartache on my list

 

I don't wanna be angry no more
You're the one who could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore

 

I don't wanna be lonely anymore
I don't wanna be lonely anymore
I don't wanna be lonely anymore

Too many fools blocking my motion 
Clouding my eyes must be the potion 
Spots on my eyes must be the lotion 
Love in a void, it's so numb 
Avoid in love, it's so dumb 
Love in a void 

 

Too many bigots for my liking 
Too many critics, too few writing 
Rabid dogs that aren't biting 

 

Love in a void, it's so numb 
Avoid in love, it's so dumb 
Love in a void

 

Jaded reputation on which you're staking 
Lots of money for the making 
For all the stars they're just faking 

 

Love in a void, it's so numb 
Avoid in love, it's so dumb 
Love in a void

Hope they never end this song
This could take us all night long
I looked at the moon and I felt blue
Then I looked again and I saw you
Eyes like fire in the night
Bridges burning with their light
Now I want to spend the whole night through
And honey, yes, I'd like to spend it all on you

 

Love, look what you've done to me
Never thought I'd fall again so easily
Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me
Leading me to feel this way

 

They might fade and turn to stone
Let's get crazy all alone
Hold me closer than you'd ever dare
Close your eyes and I'll be there
After all is said and done
After all you are the one
Take me up your stairs and through the door
Take me where we don't care anymore

 

Love, look what you've done to me
Never thought I'd fall again so easily
Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me, would you
Leading me to feel this way

 

Love, look what you've done to me
Never thought I'd fall again so easily
Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me
Leading me to feel this way

(I am Michael Caine)

He's walking where I'm afraid I don't know
I see the firemen jumping from the windows
There's panic and I hear somebody scream
(aaaah)

He picks up useless paper
And puts it in my pocket
I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean
I can't remember tell me what's his name

(My name is Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

The sun is laughing its another broken morning
I see a shadow and call out to try and warn him
He didn't seem to hear
Just turned away

The quiet fellow follows and points his fingers
Straight at you
He had to sacrifice his pride yes throw it all away

(I am Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

His days are numbered he walks round and round in circles
There is no place he can ever call his own
He seems to jump at the sound of the phone

Staring out the window there's nothing he can now do
All he wanted was to remain sane
He can't remember his own name

(My name is Michael Caine)

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
And all I wanted was a word or photograph
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
And all I wanted was a word or photograph
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
