I'd like to see the bay cleaned up before I die.

Men Cleaning Women Cannot Abide
My wife said she was going out to shop,
I knew she'd be gone for hours,
So I cleaned the house from bottom to top,
Then went out and bought her some flowers.
On arriving home she asked what's that smell,
I boasted I had just cleaned the house,
With what she said it's like something from Hell,
It stinks like a hundred dead grouse.
By doing the cleaning I thought you'd be flattered,
She said exactly what have you cleaned,
That really left my giant ego shattered,
How dare she leave me feeling demeaned?
The house is filthy what did you use,
I replied the same stuff as you,
She said it's my intelligence you're trying to abuse,
I'll now have to start cleaning anew.
What have you done to my kitchen floor?
You've got it full of stellar streaks,
The worktops are scratched like an old barn door,
My mop bucket's now full of leaks.
The toilet is filthy I said no it's not,
She said look at the state of the pan,
You've left enough stains to play dot to dot,
As for cleaning you're now on a ban.
She'll be so impressed she'll be singing,
That's what I honestly thought,
Now she's saying I've got the house minging,
Remember good cleaners cannot be bought.
I walked away totally deluded and sad,
It's moan if we don't then moan if we do,
If they had a self- cleaning house they'd still go mad,
I'm going down to the pub for a brew.
The moral of my story affects far more than me,
It's a problem that is truly worldwide,
It's a sexist thing I'm sure all males would agree,
‘' Men Cleaning, Women Cannot Abide ‘'
‘' They think we do it deliberately''
I cleaned up my act because otherwise I would have kicked the bucket.
If everyone cleaned his own doorstep, all the streets would be clean.
The kitchen may not get cleaned, and I have to accept that. I do the important things.

This Love I've Got
Opened to the flow,
That exists.
No longer am I resisting it...
This love!
This love I've got,
Is more than not!
And is feeding all my needs,
Now I'm stronger than a rock!
This love I've got,
Is more than not!
And is feeding all my needs,
Now I'm stronger than a rock!
I took a mop!
And cleaned up shop.
I had to stop discomfort that I knew,
And grew up a lot!
I took a mop!
And cleaned up shop.
I had to stop discomfort that I knew,
And grew up a lot!
This love I've got,
Is more than not!
And is feeding all my needs,
Now I'm stronger than a rock!
This love I've got,
Is more than not!
And is feeding all my needs,
Now I'm stronger than a rock!
Opened to the flow,
That exists.
No longer am I resisting it...
This love!
Oh...
I took a mop!
And cleaned up shop.
I had to stop discomfort that I knew,
And grew up a lot!
This love I've got,
Is more than not!
And is feeding all my needs,
Now I'm stronger than a rock!
With-this-love I've got.
With-this-love I've got.
With-this-love I've got!

My cousin cleaned out a shotgun for me and let me carry it around the house, because he said, 'Anybody who knows anything about guns is going to know in a second if someone has held a gun before.' I didn't want to be that person. I wanted to be practiced.

So Trivial...a Promise
tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning
he shall have his ears cleaned
of wax,
he shall buy an new mouse
and a new keyboard for his private
computer
he will not talk about his malady
that will do nothing but destroy his new day.

I used to help my granddaddy make sausage. He would mix it up in a cleaned-out washtub with his hands, no gloves. Man, if we did anything like that today, they would jack the jail up and throw us under it.

I never was a person who wanted a handout. I was a cafeteria worker. I'm not too proud to ask the Best Western manager to give me a job. I have cleaned homes.

Poison In The Well
[ music: dennis drew/words: natalie merchant ]
Tell me whats gone wrong.
I tilt my head there, under the faucet, but when I turn it on -- dry as paper.
Call the neighbors.
Whos to blame for whats going on?
In the dark without a clue Im just the same as you.
O, they tell us theres poison in the well,
That someones been a bit untidy and theres been a small spill.
Not a lot, no, just a drop.
But there you are mistaken, you know you are.
I wonder just how long they knew our well was poisoned but they let us just drink on.
O, they tell us theres poison in the well,
That someones been a bit untidy and theres been a small spill.
All that it amounts to is a tear in a salted sea.
Someones been a bit untidy, theyll have it cleaned up in a week.
But the week is over and now its grown into years since I was told that I should be calm, theres nothing to fear here.
But I drank that water for years, my wife and my children.
Tell me, where to now, if your fight for a bearable life can be fought and lost in you backyard?
O, dont tell us theres poison in the well,
That someones been a bit untidy, that theres been a small spill.
All that it amounts to is a tear in a salted sea.
Someones been a bit untidy, theyll have it cleaned up in a week.
