The girl
The girl was playing
In the backyard of their home
A neighbor called her
And took her to his bedroom
Then raped her mercilessly

Backyard Brawl
Got a cut on my thigh, got a nail in my eye
And I'm bleedin' all over the wall
Got a barbed wire bat and a dude on the mat
Ain't getting up soon at all
Got a head full of rage and a belly full of hate
I'm the neighborhood legend that just can't wait
For the backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Don't matter who you are, don't matter what color
Brown or white'll do
But if you're yellow you'll be covered in red
A whole lotta black and blue
Jump off the trailer in a pile full o' guys
Scratching and kicking and pulverized
For the backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Only got six teeth but three of those
Are sharp enough to bite off your nose
At the backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl

You think you're so tough
You talkin' to me?

Come on, let's go
Come on stitches...

A Fool? Or In Cahoots?
If I convinced my neighbors I had been invited to protect...
Another neighbor's backyard from enemies and thieves.
And this had gone on for years,
As I collected donations with a squeezing of everything...
Left from the pockets of those who volunteered their money,
To continue this deception I led others to believe.
And that neighbor one day was seen,
Giving away all that was prized in that backyard...
To their...'enemies? ' as all perceived.
What should I expect those surrounding neighbors to think of me?
A fool? Or in cahoots? Maybe both.
Or...believing I was going to secretly get what was given?

Animal Farm
This world is big and wild and half insane
Take me where real animals are playing
Just a dirty old shack
Where the hound dogs bark
That we called our home
I want to be back there
Among the cats and dogs
And the pigs and the goats
On animal farm
My animal home
On animal farm
My animal home
While I lay my head upon my pillow
Little girl, come play beneath my window
Though shes far from home
She is free from harm
And she need not fear
She is by my side
And the sky is wide
So let the sun shine bright
On animal farm
My animal home
On animal farm
My animal home
Girl, its a hard, hard world, if it gets you down
Dreams often fade and die in a bad, bad world
Ill take you where real animals are playing
And people are real people not just playing
Its a quiet, quiet life
By a dirty old shack
That we called our home
I want to be back there
Among the cats and dogs
And the pigs and the goats
On animal farm
My animal home
On animal farm
My animal home
On animal farm
Animal farm

My Pup Shiekee
Shiekee, Shiekee wagging her tail,
at the top of the steps, little bark no yelp.
She came to me as scared as can be,
She was yelled at when she peed.
She was even scared to pee outside,
She would not touch the ground,
She would run and hide.
She did get potty trained,
with a little refrain.
I started traveling so I had to give Shiekee away,
I gave her to a girl, but she did not want to stay.
She actually pooped all over her place,
I laughed I know she was playing a game.
Girl called up and said “Is she potty trained? ”
I got Shiekee home and she wagged her tail and smiled,
I knew what she was doing all the while.
Now Shiekee is not with me,
she is with a lady down the street.
She plays with a Beagle in the backyard,
they play real rough, they play real hard.
She has a playmate now and I am glad,
she was the cutest and only girl dog I ever had.

You Are Not Alone With This Belief
I want someone who can come in,
And clean my house.
Both inside and out.
Plus do a restoration,
Needed in my backyard.
'Who was it living in the house,
To allow it to become so unclean? '
Don't be so foolish.
I was.
I 'still' am.
But that is besides the point.
And has nothing to do with my complaints.
'You allowed your own home to get filthy?
Your backyard to be littered with trash?
And this was done,
While you were living there on the premise,
As an occupant?
Shouldn't you hold yourself responsible for that? '
Are you kidding?
Of course not.
If it had been recommended to you,
To hire a new housekeeper 'with' qualifications.
And a gardener your neighbor uses.
Would you pay attention,
To the goings on inside AND out?
If you had more important things on your mind to do?
'I suppose you are right.
What sense would that make,
To stay conscious and awake...
When I have been told,
I could hold someone else accountable...
And blame,
For anything wrong that goes on inside...
And outside of the place I am calling my 'home'.
Trust me...
You are not alone with this belief!
Incredible as it is.'

I'm this kinda girl...........
I’m this kinnda girl
Current mood: adored
I'm the girl who will put her head on your shoulder, not because she's sleepy, but because she wants to be closer to you...
I'm the girl who likes to be kissed under the stars, more than inside your bedroom or in a expensive resturant...
I'm the girl who holds your hand and plays with it....
I'm the girl who doesn't mind you playing with her hair....
I'm the girl who stares into your eyes looking for a reason what you see in me.......
I'm the girl who loves to end a hug with a kiss...
I'm the girl who will take care of you when you are sick...
I'm the girl who you can talk to you about anything...
I'm the girl who laughs at your jokes...
I'm the girl who will have many inside jokes with you and remember each one...
I'm the girl who will brag about you to all of my friends...
I'm the girl who will listen to you talk...
I'm the girl who remembers how and when we first met.......
I'm the girl who loves to hear you sing, even if you horrible....
I'm the girl who promises to never leave, and keeps it......
I'm the girl who loves when you hug me for no apparent reason...
I'm the girl who loves it when you hug me from behind or kiss me on the forehead....
I'm the girl who loves you for you; and doesn't care what other people say about us...
I'm the girl who will love you unconditionally for the rest of your life...

The World Inside My Bedroom (album Mix)
I gotta pull the plug out
And to be alone
This melody in my sky
Tonight will only be mine
Me alone with my mind
It's raining and it's boring (?)
And it's drowning all the town
Tonight I'll hide in my bed
Or I can get myself wet
(...) like this forever
The world inside my bedroom
Walls made of fantasy
Make me feel alright in my bedroom
Playing this melody
I think of what I'm doing
And I wonder where I'm going
The caress in my visions (?)
That troubles my decisions
Is blocking any conclusions
So I long to feel the night
'Cause the darkness turns on light
On me and on my feelings
On the (...) that I'm regreting
While I'm failing and neglecting
The world inside my bedroom
Walls made of fantasy that
Make me feel alright in my bedroom
Playing this melody all night
The world inside my bedroom
Walls made of fantasy
Make me feel alright in my bedroom
This is where I can feel the light

The Wrong Girl
You got a great apartment an' a real nice car.
The job you always wanted; you're gonna go far.
You got everything you need in this world,
But you got the wrong girl.
Everybody's lookin' 'cause you look so hot.
You don't know it yet, but I know what you got.
Go ahead an' give it a whirl,
But you got the wrong girl.
If you're lookin' for love, you're lookin' too hard.
You can't see that what you need is right in your backyard.
You were blinded by diamonds an' you missed a pearl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
Instrumental break.
Does she like fishin'?
Four wheelin' in the woods?
Will she get her hands greasy up underneath the hood?
I bet she never listens to Merle:
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
If you're lookin' for love, you're lookin' too hard.
You can't see that what you need is right in your backyard.
You were blinded by diamonds an' you missed a pearl.
You got the wrong girl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
You got the wrong girl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.

Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw
Recorded by hank williams, sr.
Written by bonnie dodd
Chorus
A [f] tongue can accuse and carry bad [c] news
The [f] seeds of distrust, it will [c] sow
But [f] unless youve made no mistakes in your [c] life
Be careful of [g7] stones that you [c] throw.
(spoken)
[c] a neighbor was passing my [f] garden one time
[c] she stopped and I knew right away [g7]
That it was gossip, not flowers, she had on her mind [c]
And this is what I heard my neighbor say:
[c] that girl down the street [f] should be run from our midst
[c] she drinks and she talks quite a lot [g7]
She knows not to speak to my child or to me. [c]
My neighbor then smiled and I thought:
Chorus
(spoken)
A car speeded by and the screamin of brakes
A sound that made my blood chill
For my neighbors one child had been pulled from the path
And saved by a girl lying still.
The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out:
Oh! who was that brave girl so sweet?
I covered the crushed, broken body and said:
The bad girl who lived down the street.
Chorus

Whats Her Name Today?
Whats her name today?
Whats her name today?
She could be anyone
I might have known youd leave her crying
Whats her name again?
You should be ashamed
How could you treat her so unspeakably?
Or did you think she was a different girl?
For as the radio played in the bedroom wall
What was that name you called her?
Was she the one who took away your pride
And your reason?
Oh, why did you decide that
Youd punish any girl you meet
To try and make that feeling go away?
Whats her name today?
Whats her name today?
Is her hair hanging down?
Or maybe its fixed with a ribbon
Are her eyes still blue?
Should she trust in you?
Because its a lonely world
She wants to believe for a while in all the things you say
But as the radio played in the bedroom wall
What was that name you called her?
Isnt her smile reminiscent of someone else?
Well, is it or isnt it?
Oh, why did you decide that
Youd punish any girl you meet
To try and make that feeling go away?
Whats her name today?
Is she going to stay
So you can ruin her?
And soon shell be twisted in chiffon
Dress her like a doll
String her like a pearl
She hears peals of bells, but its hard to tell
Now that shes hung up like a chandelier
Whats her name?
Whats her name?
Whats her name today?

Neighbor, Neighbor
Neighbor, neighbor, why you messin in my life?
Neighbor, neighbor, youve been talkin to my wife,
Tellin her you seen me
Runnin wild the other night,
Runnin wild the other night.
A neighbor, neighbor, theress always one in every crowd.
A neighbor, neighbor, tellin lies and talkin loud.
You better watch your step now.
You might fall off your cloud.
You might fall off your cloud.
Now I was walking down a dusty road
When along came a neighbor of mine.
He saw me walkin with my head hung down,
He just had to stop and pass the time.
Neighbor, neighbor, floatin in the salty brine.
Floatin in the salty brine.

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Lou Bega on a trip won't you all come in
With a little bit of this
And a little bit of that
You can get what you see
You can see what you get
And I bet that you're all a little bit excited
If you need a autograph, honey I can write it
I got a girl the smart one on the planet
Some called Whitner, some called Jenny
chorus
I got a girl in Paris
I got a girl in Rome
I even got a girl in the vatican dome
I got a girl right here, I got a girl right there
And I got a girlfriend everywhere.
I got a girl on the moon
I got a girl on mars
I even got a girl that likes to dance in the stars
I got a girl right here, and one right there
And I got a girlfriend everywhere
From Miami beach to Valuga Bay
From the Milky Way to East Soley
From San Chope to my home Cafe
That's my way and I do it like day for day
In Africa, America, Europe and Australia
Asia, Canada I take them on a meria
India, Arabia, to the guys in Germany
All around the planet you can be my fantasy

The Season for Pastels
Looking out the window I can see
vistas unlimited that stretch beyond
mu neighbor's backyard. All winter
he and I have barely glimpsed one
another in the falling snow...
Andre my neighbor behind his machine,
goggles on and snow flying as he plows
through windrows of lake effect snow
tidying up driveways and sidewalks
so our postman can fulfill his oath
and deliver the stuff we glance at
and deposit in the garbage.
Then I think of angels that descend
with gasoline powered machines
to make his way clear!

Rainy day...
Rainy day
Cool evening
Porch sitting
Unusual for mid August.
Where is the usual summer evening traffic?
My thoughts drift
into my childhood past.
They come up blank
and I simply do not recall
what I did on summer evenings like this.
I just remember –
the smell of freshly cut grass
the catching of lightening bugs
devouring Good Humor ice cream
friends trying to invite themselves
into my backyard pool
playing a game called “Murder In The Dark”
in the backyard of the house across the street
when the sun went down.
I wonder
what summer evening games
the kids in my old neighborhood play now.
I wonder where
the kids I played with are now.
Should I visit the old neighborhood,
will I find our childhood spirits
still running around the streets?
Foiled Again
Sitting up once again...In my bedroom
Shaking hand holds ugly head...In my bedroom
Wish I may wish I might...In my bedroom
Have this wish I wish tonight...In my bedroom
[Chorus:]
At night when you turn out the light, think of me, smile and feel all right
And when you lay your head down to sleep, may I be the one who fills your dreams...
Are you lying wide awake?...In your bedroom
Are you trying to fall asleep?...In your bedroom
Cuz your not thinking about me...In your bedroom
If you were you'd wish those thoughts would leave you...In your bedroom
[Chorus:]
At night when you turn out the light, you wonder what it was you thought you liked.
And you ask yourself what did you see, In an idle hollow fool like me
I'm not the one who fills my dreams...

It Hurts
Take your time
Take it easy
Keep my little promise
In your mind
Making out
Make it easy
For all the broken pieces
Of my heart
A love like this I wasnt looking for
Ive never known a girl like you before
Lonely nights
Soft soap story
Playing in the bedroom
Of your mind
Acting up
I tried to make it happen
Just another extra
In your life
A love like this I wasnt looking for
Ive never known a girl like you before
Yeah
It hurts to say its over
Its sad to say its gone
It doesnt really matter
Whos right or wrong
When all is said and done
A love like this I wasnt looking for
Ive never known a girl like you before, well
It hurts to say its over
Its sad to say its gone
It doesnt really matter
Whos right or wrong
When all is said and done
Making eyes
Make it easy
For all the broken pieces
Of my heart
Trying hard
I nearly made it happen
Playing out the bedroom of your life
It hurts to say its over
Its sad to say its gone
It doesnt really matter
Whos right or wrong
When all is said and done
It hurts to say its over
Its sad to say its gone
It doesnt really matter
Whos right or wrong
When all is said and done
It hurts, yes it does, to say its over
It is over
Its sad, its so sad, to say its gone, gone, gone
It hurts, oh it hurts, to say its over
Yes it hurts
Its sad to say its gone, gone, gone
It hurts, yes it hurts, to say its over
Baby its over
Its sad, so sad, to say its gone, gone, gone
