1.Drugs And Kittens/i'll Drink To That

(live, first is another version of 'drunks and children,'
followed by 'i'll drink to that')

'mighty mighty... bosstones...' simmer down, simmer down.
I know all you people. yo, brian hurt himself - he needs geoff
To come to the side of the stage. brian kagen hurt himself
'cause i know- pass this around'

Don't mind when it happens, no problem when i am sayin' it
But when i lose my mind kick my behind because i hate when my
mind keeps replayin' it.
I'm not braggin', and i'm not proud. i hang around a drunken
crowd
We are happy, that i can say and until we're not, i kid you not
we're gonna stay that way.
My life would start to settle down. johnny!
Then you came along you turned it upside down. vegas!
Drunks and children they always tell the truth. johnny!
But now i'm sober and i'm older and i held on to my youth!
Drinkin' the other day i said 'i love you', you turned away.
Maybe the drinkin' made me cry, but i'm a happy, very happy,
very happy guy!
Drunks and children they tell the truth that's just what i am, a
drunken youth
And when i'm drinkin' i don't know why but i'm a happy, very
happy, very happy guy!
Sometimes when when i'm playin', i never watch what i'm sayin'.
Sometimes i lose my head i lose my head and things get said i
never should have said.
Sometimes i get housed, housed i get soused and shoot off my
mouth
And sometimes i can't get out and i don't know what i'm talkin'
about.
I don't know what i'm talkin about.

You know i've made mistakes, i've had my ups and downs my ins
and outs
My share of bad breaks but when it's all been said and done
I raise my beer and i swear 'god it's been fun!'
Good god oh my god good god good god good god good god god it's
been fun!

(i'll drink to that)
Standing stiff on a cliff and i'm not gonna leap.
Checked out the water but it's much too deep.
No going back there's no turning around,
So i'll stay here and wait god i hope that i'm found.

My thoughts were in knots i couldn't get to sleep.
Went up to the attic to see what to keep,
Threw out the useless and now it's bone-dry
But i still couldn't die couldn't figure out why.
No way! no how! no what? what now?
The place is packed, i needed that.
The bottle's cracked, i'm glad for that.
A good nights rest? forget about that,
I feel alive in this dive so i'll drink to that!

The attic was empty and my eyes were shut.
I had to do something but i didn't know what.
The darkness was nice but it wasn't enough.
The clock wasn't stopping so i had to get tough.
Get tough, get up, get out, get ugly!
The place is packed, i needed that.
The bottle's cracked, i'm glad for that.
A good nights rest? forget about that,
I feel alive in this dive so i'll drink to that!

Got up and got out and found out it was raining.
The car lived then died but i wasn't complaining.
Hell bent for action, some had to be out there.
I walked then i ran, hoping something was somewhere.
Before too long it didn't take long,
This place came along and i ended up here, right here.

The place is packed, i needed that.
The bottle's cracked, i'm glad for that.
A good night's rest, forget about that,
I feel alive in this dive so i'll drink to that.

'thank you very much good night'


2.Howwhywuz, Howwhyam

I used to talk to cab drivers
Well now i just don't bother
I'd empty out my pockets
If someone asked me for a quarter.
There was a time that i'd give the time
To the old, the weak, and the weird.
I just don't know why this is so
But i've never been so scared
Am i getting older?
Are things getting harder?
I used to never cry
When i would think about my father.
The years went past so goddamn fast.
You know, i've left a lot behind
My devil could care attitute,
You know, i just can't seem to find.
And once upon a time
I never minded very much
I never let it knock me down
Or grind me out of touch
Am i getting older?
Are things getting harder?
I used to never cry
When i would think about my father.
Once i had an outlook
Different than it is
Full of dreams and schemes
It seems they just do not exist
And once i told myself
He will not be missed
Now now now i never thought that i would see the day
I'd ever feel like this
Am i getting older?
Are things getting harder?
I used to never cry
When i would think about my father.
Am i getting older?
Are things getting harder?
I used to never cry
When i would think about my father.
I used to never cry
I used to never cry
I used to never cry
When i would think about my father.


3.Lights Out

(original song by angry samoans)

Nothing more you can leave behind.
So forget about seeing, and get it into your mind.
Whole thing is better when the world gets black.
Grab a fork, you make your first attack.
Lights out! poke, poke, poke your eyes out! lights out!
Put a pen in your hand and poke your eyes out.
I can't see too well what's it all about?
I don't know man, did you poke your eyes out?
First thing, i did it today, time to get hip to the lights out
way.
Lights out! poke, poke, poke your eyes out lights out!
Put yourself on the floor, that's what it's all about.
If you poke too far, you'll reach the front of your brain.
A fork in your mind could drive you insane.
Don't worry about it, just let it rip- donate your eyeballs to
the lights out trip.
Light's out! put a pen in your hand, poke your eyes out. lights
out!
Poke, poke, poke your eyes out! lights out!
Put an ax in your hand and poke your eyes out. lights out!


4.Police Beat

(original song by ss decontrol)

Police pick me out of the crowd, 'cause i dress different, act
real loud.
Police, police
There's no questions asked, they just wanna kick my ass.
Police beat me, police kick me, police chase me, police mace me,
police cuff me, police rough me
Just to show how tough they be
Police police
Police who judge me... why won't they just let me be? police
police


5.Simmer Down

(original song by bob marley)

Simmer down, my head is too hot so
Simmer down, he's gonna get dropped so
Simmer down, man, here's what i say
Simmer down, now i've got to got to simmer down.
A long time ago we used to be friends.
Picked my bones in my pockets that's where it ends so
Simmer down, control my temper
Simmer down, the battle will be hotter
Simmer down, ok here's what i say
Simmer down, oh, i'm leavin' in a day
Simmer down, here's what i say
Simmer down, oh, i'm leavin' in a day
Simmer down, okay here's what i'm sayin'
Simmer down, it's got to be this way
Where's the love? where is the loyalty?
We did our part now where is the love?
Simmer down, control my temper
Simmer down, the battle will be hotter
Simmer down, it's hard 'cause it hurts so,
Simmer down, kick me off

Simmer down, but the pain still exists
Simmer down, and hey i'm sure he'll be missed
Simmer down, it'll make us stronger
Simmer down, and we'll live alot longer so
Simmer down, what goes around
Simmer down, will come around
Simmer down, i know i've got to simmer down
Simmer down, i'm tryin' to simmer down
Simmer down, i've got to got to simmer down ohh
Simmer down, it's hard 'cause it hurts
Simmer down


6.Someday I Suppose

(nate albert/dicky barrett/joe gittleman/bosstones)

There was a place
And the name of the place escapes me
When i can't rememeber
It irritates me
Could be i can't remember
Could be i choose to not,
Let's move the song along
And try to find the plot
There was a girl and i don't know her name either
She gave me love and i swore i'd never leave her
If i did i'd come back someday and find her
Maybe i will i should write down a reminder
One day! one day who knows
Someday i suppose
There was a verse that i was gonna write i haven't yet
But there's still a chance i might an open book
That i still want to close i'll find the time
Someday i suppose a place and time,
I wanna be and spend a storyline
That's happy in the end plans are made
With promises so certainly uncertain
I can't wait to set things straight
Before they close the curtain
One day! one day who knows
Someday i suppose
The more i sort things out
The more it gets distorted
I sort of think i'm better off just leaving it unsorted
The more i try to change it's course
The more off course it goes
Of course i'll reach my destination someday i suppose
Sort it out,
Get distorted
One day who knows
Hide behind,
Someday i suppose


7.Think Again

(original song by minor threat)

Everybody's right!
Everything i've done is wrong wrong wrong!
I've tried to keep it short.
You know it took too fucking long.
Too much has been said, you think it fucked my head?
Think again! (8x)
Ignorance, it set your standards.
Intelligence, that don't work in your brain.
You're and adult, buy you act like a child.
Don't even try to explain.
This stupid shit, it's been done.
You think you're the only one?
Think again! (x8)

A hand to the mouth, a performing yawn.
You think you know what the fuck is going on?
You're on top, you're on the ball.
You think you've seen it all?
Think again! (x8)

Before you take another crack and slap yourself on the back.
Before you tell me what you've heard and sum it up in just one
word.
Before you start talking shit.
Before you throw another fit.
Think again! (x8)
