1.Knowing too little
A misunderstanding born outta contempt
That was the rock I was battered against
Oh sorrow dogged by sorrow was in my heart
Don't even know just where to start
I was knowin' too little an' feelin' too much
Should've seen the penny dropping just a touch
I walked away as mad as could be
No matter how I try i'ts the same damn thing
I'm knowin' too little an' feelin' too much
More than a little bit outta touch
Knowin' too little an' feelin' too much
More than a little bit outta touch
Stone dead from standin' still
Can't turn from the shadow that wishes me ill
A bone in the fly a fly in the bone
Kept hanging around the door to my home
Oh tell it to the river and tell it to the sea
this man's gonna be the death of me
My tiny fist just isn't a threat
Not even enough to make him sweat
I'm knowin' too little an' feelin' too much
More than a little bit outta touch
Knowin' too little an' feelin' too much
More than a little bit outta touch
The wrinkle in the sheet next to him
Didn't see the trouble that she was in
When the ill wind started to blow
It was far too late for me to go
Sun's gonna shine bright at midnight
Before I find out if my hunches were right
He knew damn well what lies were for
Hulf an' puff an' show her the door
Life robs you of your bones an' slips by in dreams
And absolutely nothing is as it seems
that halfway point between life and death
Slipped by and now I've less time left
I've worn this face far too long
I just got used to always bein' wrong
i know one thing one thing I know
That sweet sweet man's just gotta go
I'm knowin' too little an' feelin' too much
More than a little bit outta touch
Knowin' too little an' feelin' too much
More than a little bit outta touch
I'm knowin' too little an' feelin' too much
More than a little bit outta touch
Knowin' too little an' feelin' too much
More than a little bit outta touch
2.Uneasy
I disappoint you
You give up on me
Dust of the earth and light of the plains
When will I know I will see you again
You never miss the water till the well runs dry
You never miss the sun till it leaves the sky
Only know when it's too late to try
You never love a man till he says goodbye
Cold wind blew my spirit away
It's gone for a year and a day
I ought to get out of this place
One of these days one of these
Fate tells lies
Maybe tonight maybe here
What can I say when words have no place
Can the earth beneath shoulder my weight
You never miss the water till the well runs dry
You never miss the sun till it leaves the sky
Only know when it's too late to try
You never love a man till he says goodbye
Cold wind blew my spirit away
It's gone for a year and a day
I ought to get out of this place
One of these days one of these
Fire in my head
Cloud in my mouth
Fire in my head
Cloud in my mouth
Old skin don't you knowthis face
Nothing to be gained here in this place
Old skin don't you knowthis face
Nothing to be gained here in this place
You never miss the water till the well runs dry
You never miss the sun till it leaves the sky
Only know when it's too late to try
You never love a man till he says goodbye
Cold wind blew my spirit away
It's gone for a year and a day
I ought to get out of this place
One of these days one of these
Feel a bit false
Uneasy
Feel a bit false
Uneasy
Raw bony ghost waiting by my door
Biding his time what's he waiting for
You never miss the water till the well runs dry
You never miss the sun till it leaves the sky
Only know when it's too late to try
You never love a man till he says goodbye
Cold wind blew my spirit away
It's gone for a year and a day
I ought to get out of this place
One of these days one of these
3.Badtimes
If you receive an E-mail with a subject of 'badtimes' delete it
immediatly without reading it
This is the most dangerous E-mail virus yet.
It will re-write your hard disk
Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even
close to your computer
It will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all
your ice cream melts
It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards, screw
up the tracking on your VCR
And use subspace field harmonics to render any CDs you try to
play unreadable.
It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number.
It will mix antifreeze into your fishtank
It will drink all your beer and leave its socks out on the
coffee table when there's company coming over
It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit
and hide your car keys when you are late for work
Badtimes will make you fall in love with a penguin.
It will give you nightmares about circus midgets.
It will pour sugar in your gas tank and shave off both your
eyebrows while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your
back
And billing the dinner and hotel room to your Visa card
It will seduce your grandmother
It does not matter if she is dead, such is the power of
badtimes, it reaches out beyond the grave to sully those things
we hold most dear.
It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't find
it.
It will kick your dog. It will leave libidinous messages on your
boss's voice mail in your voice!.
It is insidious and subtle
It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather
interesting shade of mauve.
badtimes will give you dutch Elm disease. It will leave the
toilet seat up.
It will make a batch of methamphetamine in your bathtub
And then leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to
chase high school kids with your new snowblower.
These are just a few of the signs. be very very careful !!
4.Black cat bone
Must have been the devil who changed my mind
Must have been the wind blowing not me crying
Half the joy of Icaving was the space I left behind
Now I'm back, angelheaded holloweyed
Placed myself at the eye of the storm
Just didn't see the signpost to scorn
The blue sky wrinkled through my tears
Them darkness grounded all my fears
I gave him my sugar; He switched it for salt
Should have seem him coming that's always my fault
Rocks for my pillow and sand for my bed
For better or worse I left him for dead
But two rivers to each other run
Words that shook me like the kick of a gun
Had something in my heart ain't got no name
Turned out he left the same
Ain't it lonesome, ain't it sad
I was the only happiness he ever had
By Indian river the vows were said
In a red devil's dress I was wed
Cat cat bone, cat cat cat bone X8
Bitch baby round lady
Came to me in a dream
Them lightning struck and thunder roared
And nothing was as it seemed
A two-headed doctor walked on the water
And buried a lemon outside my door
He turned and laughed, threw up his hands
When I asked him what it was for
He sang 'Ships in the ocean rocks in the sea
Blond-headed woman made a fool outta me'
Them everything went crazy
My shoes filled with blood
The water rose the wind did howl
The river looked ready to flood
I left my man asleep to drown
And ran without looking back around
Ring the bells of mercy
Send the sinnerman home
The keys to the kingdom are lost and gone
And i'm left to die alone
All these irls grown old now
All that long hair in the grave
Realize what's done is done
It's far too late to be saved
Yeah cat cat cat X3
Cat cat bone, cat cat cat bone ...
5.Moccasin
Don't get caught in the grass
Don't get
Don't get caught in the grass
Don't get
Don't get caught in the grass
Don't get caught
A night of apologies
Just more said I'm sorrys
Beckoning come to mes
Thoughts whispered sweetly
You girls make no mistake
He's cold as a snake
He'll put you in your place
Barefoot and lonely
Don't get caught in the grass
Don't get
Don't get caught in the grass
Don't get
Don't get caught in the grass
Don't get caught
His kiss will pull your teeth
To see what's underneath
Balanced onfingertips
He'll still take you
I'm only flesh and bones
No match for sticks and stones
Look under every home
He might be waiting
Don't get caught in the grass
Don't get
Don't get caught in the grass
Don't get
Don't get caught in the grass
Don't get caught

6.T. Street
Something's gotta give
And it sure as hell ain't me
i'm gonna cut loose
like lightning through the trees
i'm grenn against the water
Blue against the sky
This girl has counted up
Her each and every sigh
Loverman has run away
Loverman done gone
Loverman flew across the sky
Loverman left home
Damn thing's worried me
And I can't see my way through it
i run sitting down
And talking like the cool rain
Can't sleep for dreaming
Can't speak for lies
i'd rather be the devil's daughter
Than seeing from these eyes
Loverman has run away
Loverman done gone
Loverman flew across the sky
Loverman left home
Nobody's alibi
But I'm not loud thunder either
Days are troubled by
When a cold wind starts to blow
Write my dreams on water
Send them to the sea
I'll meet them at the evening sun
As soon as I can leave
Loverman has run away
Loverman done gone
Loverman flew across the sky
Loverman left home
Loverman has run away
Loverman done gone
Loverman flew across the sky
Loverman left home
Loverman has run away
Loverman done gone
Loverman flew across the sky
Loverman left home
Something's gotta give
And it sure as hell ain't me
i'm gonna cut loose
like lightning through the trees
i'm grenn against the water
Blue against the sky
This girl has counted up
Her each and every sigh
7.Widows' wead
Waitin' til my dyin' day
That's when I pack these tired blues away
That's when I go to lay down in my grave
That'll be my flyin' day
Wondering what i'm workin' for
Ain't gonna be your lowdown dog no more
Ain't gonna bleach an' scrub your kitchen floor
I wonder what I'm workin' for
Making tiny feet for shoes
Didn't have the right to pick 'n choose
Didn't know the freedom I would lose
In making tiny feet for shoes
Working dozen to the nine
Feels like I'm just servin' time
Waitin' in this goddamn line
Hell or heaven I'll be fine
Cookin' nothing in the pan
that's the way life dealt my hand
That'll be my livin' last demand
To get something from this land
Playin' around the toes of time
Waiting for the spark that'll free my mind
that'll put unhappiness behind
Just looking for an exit sign
8.Good looking blues
Damn girl's gone crazy
All these good-looking blues
Banshees with bad skin
Coming home to roost
Boxed into flying
Scratching out birds
Fed a diet of sharp knives
Earthworms and dirt
Damn girl's gone crazy
All these good-looking blues
Banshees with bad skin
Coming home to roost
Fishing with bare hands
Coming up dry
Branches without roots
Cover my sky
Damn girl's gone crazy
All these good-looking blues
Banshees with bad skin
Coming home to roost
Boxed into flying
Scratching out birds
Fed a diet of sharp knives
Earthworms and dirt
Fishing with bare hands
Coming up dry
Branches without roots
Cover my sky
9.Go fish
i'm standing barefoot
Lost in the tall grass
A place so quiet
It's as if I were never born
The clouds are leaving
Beneath the setting sun
Watch out for her
She can give you dreams
She didn't know I saw her
Kneeling by the water
her mother always fought her
Didn't love her daughter
She didn't know I saw her
Waiting by the river
I wish her gone
So I can want her back
She is my laugh
I am her laughter
I am her face
And she is mine
I want to join her
But I cannot move
Now together
I cannot lose
10.Glory cloud
Set my heart strings strummin'
Resonate in me
Stars burst diamond sockets
Sounding of the sea
Songbird on my shoulder
Peaceful when I sleep
Be with me as I grow older
Glory cloud we'll keep
Be the light I see by
reflected in the tide
Following the colour of summer
ou will be my guide
Little stabs of laughter
Fusing in your eyes
Time will pass as we grow closer
Glory cloud will rise
11.Window's Weed
Waitin' 'til my dyin' day
That's when i pack these tired blues away
That's when i go to lay down in my grave
That'll be my dyin' day
Wonderin' what i'm workin' for
Ain't gonna be your lowdown dog no more
Ain't gonna bleach an' scrub your kitchen floor
I wonder what i'm workin' for
Making tiny feet for shoes
Didn't have the right to pick 'n choose
Didn't know the freedom i would lose
In making tiny feet for shoes
Workin' dozen to the nine
Feels like i'm just servin' time
Waitin' in this goddamn line
Hell or heaven i'll be fine
Cookin' nothin' in the pan
That's the way life dealt my hand
That'll be my livin' last demand
To get somethin' from this land
Playin' 'round the toes of time
Waitin' for the spark that'll free my mind
That'll put unhappiness behind
Jus' lookin' for an exit sign
