Playing guitar always puts me in a good mood (x2)
When I’m feeling low and I don’t want to eat my food
I pick up my Epiphone and I strum a little tune
And before I know it I’m walking on the moon
Coz playing guitar always puts me in a good mood
I can feel myself rejecting all those complicated voices in my mind
I visualize my self-projecting a much bigger better image all the time
Singing a song makes me feel like I done good (x2)
I may have sung it out of key but I did the best I could
Singing a song makes me feel like I done good
If I been unproductive watching videos on the tube
I sit down in the sun and I write a little tune
I can feel myself rejecting all those nasty pasty voices in my mind
I visualize my self-projecting a much better quality image all the time
Naa na na naa Na na nana naa
Well you feeling better now?

I know how you feel about me
You know how I feel about you
We make a mighty fine team
I suggest today we stay in bed and screw
We can call in sick at work
Another lazy day off wouldn’t hurt
Il serve you breakfast in bed
Spend the day naked with out regrets
My love for you is stronger than the sun
Your love for me is so fine
We get along like cheese and wine
Bullshit walks and money don’t matter
Lets get fat and old together
Oh darling will you marry me
I swear Il make you happy as can be
The only finger you’ll ever raise again
Is the one that will fashion my ring
My love for you will be certified
Your love for me will be guaranteed
We’ll live in the land of Honoly
Milk and honey will last forever
Lets make rock n roll together

The Aligator King

One two three four five six seven!
Said the Alligator King to his seven sons,
"I'm feelin' mighty down.
Whichever of you can cheer me up
Will get to wear my crown."
His first son brought seven oyster pearls
From the bottom of the China Sea.
The second gave him seven statues of girls
With clocks where their stomachs should be.
The third son gave him seven rubies
From the sheikdom Down There Beneath.
The King thought the rubies were cherries,
And he broke off seven of his teeth.
The fourth son tried to cheer him up
With seven lemon drops.
The King said, "I'm sorry son,
Since that ruby episode, I just haven't got the chops."
The fifth son brought the King perfume
In seven fancy silver jars;
The King took a whiff, and he broke out in spots
'Cause it smelled like cheap cigars.
The sixth son gave him seven diamond rings
To wear upon his toes.
The King snagged his foot on the royal red rug
And crumpled up his nose.
The seventh son of the Alligator King
Was a thoughtful little whelp.
He said, "Daddy, appears to me
That you could use a little help."
Said the Alligator King to his seventh son,
"My son, you win the crown.
You didn't bring me diamonds or rubies, but
You helped me up when I was down.
Take the crown; it's yours, my son.
I hope you don't mind the dents.
I got it on sale at a discount store-
Cost me all of seven cents!"
Seven!

Round and round and round it goes spinning on my old Marantz stereo
I don’t care about the folk’s next-door so turn it up loud as it goes
It had so better be tonight in between days I feel so alive. Live by numbers is the poor mans reply I sure hope something better comes along
I say ooh you can’t stop rock n roll
Ooh hot patootie bless my soul
Now don’t you come around here no more Johnny’s in big trouble with skinny girls. You make me feel through children’s eyes. Enjoy what you do.
All the angels say ooh black as miners coal
All the demons say ooh in the centre they punch a hole

Chase Me
03:10

Close my eyes and count to ten
Come looking for you when I open them
Ready or not now here I come
Im gonna catch you on the run
Where oh where now can she be?
Is she hiding in that tree?
I think I see her sitting up there
In her lovely underwear
Run little girl im chasing you
Around the garden like a fool
When I catch you in my arms
Kiss you lots and lots of times
I found you now it’s your turn
So close your eyes and count to ten
no peeking now while I go hide
I wont be very hard to find
Run run run shes chasing me
around the house onto the street
I surrender in her arms
Kiss me lots and lots of times
Run little girl im chasing you
Around the garden like a fool
When I catch you in my arms
Kiss you lots and lots of times

I know a little man he’s 3ft 8 inches tall
You wouldn’t know it but he’s the midget that plays R2D2 in Star Wars
He rolls around inside his little robot suit
And when George says “Ken press that button!”
He presses the one that goes “beep beep boop”
Oh Kenny Oh Kenny Baker
He worked as a clown in the circus
Before he was an overnight success
Oh Kenny Oh Kenny Baker
We will always remember you
But only as R2D2

Cross Your Fingers
02:37

I been known to get a little angry and bitter I could turn to liquor
I become twisted and livid must learn to forget and be more forgiving
All my good intentions all my passions aspirations
Have all been disapated thanks to folks that I respected
Eventualy we all discover you can only trust your mother
It takes scum to pull a scam cross your fingers shake my hand
I don't go around swindling and lying like a hungry two faced lion
Its not in my nature to do bad things onto others
Swollen headed intentions cunning plans manipulations
Aimed to grant you greatness and elevate your social status
And when karma finaly happens my hopes were never dampened
You're just another flash in the pan
Don't ever cross your fingers when you're shaking my hand
Please there's no need to be mean to me

Raised in Arcades

I was raised in arcades
Playing games hail shine or rain
Grant me three lives until my death
Drop another dollar and I'm born again
Oh let that shiney silver ball roll on and on for ever more
Up and down around the bend I challenge you to doubles my friend
Super jackpot double score I nailed that skill shot multiball
Fire jump turn right go left
It aint game over till you beat the boss
When I'm old and on my last stage
I'll drag my amusements to my grave
In the still of the cemetry night
You can hear me playing my tomb stone says IVE
Oh let that shiney silver ball roll on and on for ever more
Up and down around the bend I challenge you to doubles my friend
Super jackpot double score I nailed that skill shot multiball
Fire jump turn right go left
It aint game over till you beat the boss

Shit Kick'n Blues
05:07

Here’s my perception on the meaning of working for a living
Try not to let it rule your life and don’t let it take more than its giving
My daddy worked his whole life in order just to get the bills paid
But the only place it got him fast was closer to an early grave
Oh my fear of numbers prevent me to count exact
So I’ve developed practical abilities to counteract
Over time I have accumulated skills to merit management
But the bastards wont promote me coz I don’t have a valid certificate
Well I may not be as educated but I deserve to be respected
Oh I got the shit kicking blues
I’m working mixing mud all day in my dusty steel capped boots
I chose crime over buckling down at school
So now I dig holes build walls and clean homes just to pay my bills
Alright
I got the shit shit shit the shit kick'n blues
Now I’ve accomplished more that some who hold degrees
But I learnt you couldn’t depend on trust promises or loyalty
And I’m not prepared to sell my soul or put up with baby boomer shit
Or work underneath conditions that I may cease to live
Oh my dyslexic brain tends to let me down sometimes
Thanks to the genes my family carried down the line
But I got good work ethic and job satisfaction guaranteed
Oh don’t let my age deter you from hiring me
Well I may fit into lower classes but I refuse to kiss your asses
Oh I got the shit kicking blues
But now I gotta do what ever I gotta do
I don’t have to privilege of having to choose
So please just pay me on time and il come back and work for you

Changing Your Mind
03:19

Is your heart full of rage and anger?
Do you feel like it doesn't matter?
Have you noticed the world around you is tough?
When you learn to love your self things will change
Is your mind full of doubt and sorrow?
Do you feel like not facing tomorrow?
Have you noticed no one seems to care so much?
When you learn to love your self things will change
Now I believe we are all here
To help spread the love and share and understanding to bring us near
By simply raising your own vibration
Will have positive affects on your situation
Because when you learn to love your self things will change
Do you suffer from fear and worry?
Always fretting over work and money?
Simply changing your mind will help you along
Because when you learn to love your self things will change
