1.Coin Operarted Boy
Coin operated boy,
Sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
but I turn him on and he comes to life
automatic joy
that is why I want a coin operated boy
made of plastic and elastic
he is rugged and long-lasting
who could ever ever ask for more
love without complications galore
many shapes and weights to choose from
I will never leave my bedroom
I will never cry at night again
wrap my arms around him and pretend....
coin operated boy
all the other real ones that I destroy
cannot hold a candle to my new boy and I'll
never let him go and I'll never be alone
not with my coin operated boy......
this bridge was written to make you feel smittener
with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer
can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
I didn't think so but I'm still convinceable
will you persist even after i bet you
a billion dollars that I'll never love you
will you persist even after I kiss you
goodbye for the last time
will you keep on trying to prove it?
I'm dying to lose it...
I want it
I want you
I want a coin operated boy.
and if I had a star to wish on
for my life I can't imagine
any flesh and blood could be his match
I can even take him in the bath
coin operated boy
he may not be real experienced with girls
but I know he feels like a boy should feel
isn't that the point that is why I want a
coin operated boy
with his pretty coin operated voice
saying that he loves me that hes thinking of me
straight and to the point
that is why I want
a coin operated boy.
2.Ballad Of A Teenage Queen
作词:Jack Clement
There's a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around
Golden hair and eyes of blue
How those eyes could flash at you
Boys hung 'round her by the score
But she loved the boy next door
Who worked at the candy store
Dream on, dream on teenage queen
Prettiest girl we've ever seen
She was tops in all they said
It never once went to her head
She had everything it seemed
Not a care this teenage queen
Not a care this teenage queen
Other boys could offer more
But she loved the boy next door
Who worked at the candy store
Dream on, dream on teenage queen
You should be a movie queen
He would marry her next spring
Saved his money bought a ring
Then one day a movie scout
Came to town to take her out
Came to town to take her out
Hollywood could offer more
So she left the boy next door
Working at the candy store
Dream on, dream on teenage queen
See you on the movie screen
Very soon she was a star
Pretty house and shiny car
Swimming pool and a fence around
But she missed her old hometown
But she missed her old hometown
All the world was at her door
All except the boy next door
Who worked at the candy store
Dream on, dream on teenage queen
Saddest girl we've ever seen
Then one day the teenage star
Sold her house and all her cars
Gave up all her wealth and fame
Left it all and caught a train
Left it all and caught a train
Do I have to tell you more
She came back to the boy next door
Who worked at the candy store
Now this story has some more
You'll hear it all at the candy store
3.Me & The Minibar
作词:Amanda Mackinnon Palmer
Bring two prefix dinners up
I'll unwrap the plastic cups
It's just us, my love
It's just us, my love
I will make the room up nice
Put your insides all on ice
It was real, true love
It was real, true love
Close all the windows
Put signs on the handles
And strip down to my dun, dun, duns
You have gone so far
You have gone so far
And tonight
Its just me and the minibar
Candles from the Walmart that
Every city's got to have
That I bought last night
That I bought last night
I was so excited to
Do such normal things with you
When you left last night
With your toothbrush dry
No such details will spoil my plan
That is the kind of girl I am
Ha, ha, ha
Can you hear Room 318?
Man, they're really happening
They're a wild bunch
They're a wild bunch
But if they just knew
What my night was coming to
God, would they vomit and run?
You have gone so far
You have gone too far
So tonight
It's just me and the minibar
Nobody else
And I sing at the top of my lungs
Happy birthday us
Happy birthday us
4.Mrs. O.
作词:Amanda M Palmer
Oh, Mrs. O, will you tell us where the naughty children go?
Will you show how the sky turned white and everybody froze?
Heaven knows how they got into the fireplace
But everybody's saying grace and trying to keep a happy face
And oh, Mrs. O, can you teach us how to keep from getting cold?
Out we go and you watch us as we face the falling snow
What a show with our hairdryers aimed heavenwards
And fifty foot extension cords, you really have a way with words
The truth won't save you now
The sky is falling down
Watch the vultures count the hours
April trains may bring strange showers
Oh, Mrs. O, will you tell about the time they made you go all
alone
To the palace where they took your only clothes?
We all know there's no Hell and no Hiroshima
Chernobyl was a cover up, the world is really all in love
And oh, Mrs. O, will you leave us hanging now
That we are all grown up and old? Will you kill me if I say I
told you so?
We all know there's no Hitler and no holocaust
No winter and no Santa Clause and yes Virginia, all because
The truth won't save you now
The sky is falling down
Eveything they ever told us
Shakes our faith and breaks their promise
But you can stop the truth from leaking
If you never stop believing
5.Pierre
There once was a boy named Pierre
Who only would say
I don't care
Here a story my friend for you'll find out an end that a
suitable moral lies there
One day his mother said as Pierre climbed out of bed
Good morning darling boy you are my only joy
Pierre said
I don't care
What would you like to eat?
I don't care
Some lovely cream of wheat?
I don't care
Don't sit backwards on your chair
I don't care
Or pour syrup in your hair
I don't care
You are acting like a clown
I don't care
And we have to go to town
I don't care
Don't you want to come my dear?
I don't care
Would you rather stay right here?
I don't care
So his mother left him there
His father said, “get off your head
Or I will march you off to bed”
Pierre said
I don't care
I would think that you could see
I don't care
Your head is where your feet should be
I don't care
If you keep standing upside down
I don't care
We'll never, never get to town
I don't care
If only you'd say I care
I don't care
I'd let you fold the folding chair
I don't care
So his parents left him there
They didn't take him anywhere
Now as the night began to fall
A hungry lion made a call
He looked Pierre right in the eyes
And asked him Would you like to die?
And Pierre said
I don't care
I can eat don't you see
I don't care
Then you would be inside of me
I don't care
Then you'd never have to bother
I don't care
With a mother or a father
I don't care
Is that all you have to say?
I don't care
Then I'll eat you if I may
So the lion ate Pierre
Arriving home at 6 o'clock
His parents had a triple shock
And found the lion sick in bed
And cried Pierre is surely dead
They pulled the lion by the hair
They hit him with the folding chair
His mother asked, where's Pierre?
And the lion answered
I don't care
His father said
Pierre's in there
They rushed the lion into town
The doctor shook him up and down
And when the lion gave a roar
Pierre fell out upon the floor
He rubbed his eyes and scratched his head
And laughed because he wasn't dead
His mother cried and held him tight
His father asked are you aright
Pierre said, “I am feeling fine
Please take me home it's half past nine”
The lion said “if you would care
To climb on me I'll take you there”
Then everyone looked at Pierre
Who shouted “yes indeed I care”
The lion took them home to rest
Then stayed as a weekend guest
The moral of Pierre is care
