The Oakland clubhouse is a wonderful place. A lot of these guys feel like rejects. They were rejects and they feel - they can tell you how baseball screwed up.

Get ready
You think your kinda tough
Youre walkin kinda rough

And you strut your stuff
And I want your thing
Then youre out of luck

Take you out to kick some butt
Work you over screw you nuts
And when you cant take no more
Then she push you out that door
And things go hard

She can pack some punch
Then youre out to lunch, back at one

Contradictions
Now, even, I cannot think it true,
My friend, that there is no more you.
Almost as soon were no more I,
Which were, of course, absurdity!
Your place is bare, you are not seen,
Your grave, I'm told, is growing green;
And both for you and me, you know,
There's no Above and no Below.
That you are dead must be inferred,
And yet my thought rejects the word.
When I was in baseball and you went into the clubhouse, you didn't see ball players with curling irons.

Do You Feel
(olivia newton-john)
Do you feel the way I do
Tell me now oh tell me now
I need to know that its true
Oh do you feel the way I do
I need to know
Do you love me the way that I love you
Tell me now oh tell me now
I need to know that its true
Oh do you feel the way I do
I need to know
The world is a wonderful place
It spins around and spins around
And spins around in space
The world has a magic about it
The stars above are like my love
You never need to doubt it
Oh are we real or is this a dream
Tell me now oh tell me now
Is it all that it seems
Oh do you feel the way I do
I need to know
The world is a wonderful place
It spins around and spins around
And spins around in space
The world has a magic about it
And though I try theres so much i
Will never know about it
Oh do you feel the way I do
Tell me now oh tell me now
I need to know that its true
Oh do you feel the way I do
I need to know
I need to know
Do you feel the same way
Do you feel the same way that I do
Do you feel like I do
I need to know
I need to know
Do you feel like I do

Feel It
After the party
You took me back to your parlour.
A little nervous laughter
Locking the door.
My stockings fall
Onto the floor.
Desperate for more.
Nobody else can share this.
Here comes one and one makes one,
The glorious union.
Well it could be love,
Or it could be just lust,
But it will be fun.
It will be wonderful.
Oh, feel it. oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Oh, feel it. oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Oh, I need it. oh, oh, feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Feel it!
See what youre doing to me?
God, but youre beautiful, arent you?
Feel your warm hand walking around.
I wont pull away.
My passion always wins.
So keep on a-moving in.
So keep on a-tuning in.
Synchronise rhythm now.
Oh, feel it. oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Oh, feel it. oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Oh, I need it. oh, oh, feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Feel it!
See what youre doing to me?
See what youre doing to me?
Just see what youre doing to me.

Get Over the Hump
Take your bumps and get those lumps,
Although some days you'll be grumpy.
You may also feel crunchy.
But you will get over the hump.
Take your medicine unsweetened,
It is suggested that you do.
Keep yourself from being beatened.
Or you will always feel screwed.
Why do you overwork and welcome ruin?
What is this that you're doing?
There's nothing you're improving!

Why do you overwork and welcome ruin?
To feel crunchy?
What is this that you think that you are doing?
To feel grumpy?
What is it that you're seeking.
A beating that is treating? ? ?

Only you can keep yourself from feeling grumpy.
Only you can keep yourself from getting crunchy.
Only you can keep from doing,
What it is that keeps you screwed.
Only you can keep yourself from feeling grumpy.
Only you can keep yourself from getting crunchy.
Only you can keep from doing,
What it is that keeps you screwed.
You can get up off your rump.
You can get over the hump!

Wonderful Tonight
It's late in the evening
She wonders what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
and brushes her long blonde hair.
and then she asked me
Do I look alright?
I said yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go to a party
and everyone turns to see
this beautiful woman walking around with me
and then she asked me
do you feel alright?
I said yes, I feel wonderful tonight
I feel wonderful because I see
the love light in your eyes
and the wonder of it all
is that you just don't realize
how much I love you.
It's time to go home now
and I got a big headache
so i give her the car keys
she helps me to bed
and then I told her
as I turned out the lights
i say my darling
you were wonderful tonight
oh my darling,
you were wonderful tonight
