The Big THEY
Emerge from the glue
Glue of the false they
What will they say?
What will they think?
Who the hell are they?
Be tactful
Be polite
But by all means be yourself
Once the they validate you
You are a chameleon
The co-dependent
The crowd pleaser
The big they will dress you
Will present you
Will do your writing
Will smile like a beauty contest
Will teach you to be so proper
The big THEY will smother you out

Two On Glue
Who huffed at the party? Me and you
At the party, two on glue
Gonna get up going down
We're just two on glue
Turn this place into a den
We're just two on glue
Living large and getting small
We're just two on glue
Turn this place into a den
We're just two on glue

Carbona Not Glue
Wondering what Im doing tonight Ive been in the closet and feel all right
Ran out of carbona mom threw out the glue
Ran out of paint and roach spray too its tvs fault why I am this way
Mom and pop wanna put me away from the early morning movie to the late late show
After its over nowhere to go and Im not sorry for the things I do
My brain is stuck from shooting glue Im not sorry for the things I do

The Secret of Life
The artist picked his career
With the intention of just being good.
Finding that to get what you seek
You cannot just be good,
'Would I have picked this job, ' he thought,
'Had I known what now I know,
That there is bad in what I sought? '
He had a go at doing
What a teacher said,
Using glue,
Using lots of glue,
But finding still
Some goodness left,
Used only glue instead.
Asked for his finding
On the secret of life,
He admitted he hadn't a clue,
'But I know where it has to lie,
It can only lie in the binding.'

Beauty Contest
Damsel in distress is quite submissive
Look how somber my vanity is
A feminine human creature
Superficial, seducing detour
Im going to the mall for the cookie cutter
The ugly duckling will always suffer
Contaminated standards, I try to fight it
I better get back on my diet
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
Howd my vanity get such a mess?
Beauty contest
Im obsessed
Reduce myself, I got the strict restrictions
Not sexy enough without the regulations
A melting point countdown the fading features
Born to blossom and bloom to perish
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
Oh, Ive got to get out of this mess
Beauty contest
Im obsessed
And Ive fallen, I cant help myself
Im feeling envious of all the rest
Youre bringing out the lemming in me
A victim of the cattle call disease
Not easy to be me
I feel swollen
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
Howd my vanity get such a mess?
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
Ive got to get out of this mess
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Obsessed with the beauty contest
Beauty contest
Howd my vanity get such a mess?
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
Caught up in the beauty contest
And I feel swollen
Howd my vanity get such a mess?
My vanitys a mess

Humpty Dumpty Love Song
All of the king's horses and all of the king's men.
Couldn't pull my heart back together again.
All of the physicians and mathematicians too.
Failed to stop my heart from breaking in two.
'Cos all I need is you, I just need you.
Yeah you got the glue so I'm gonna give my heart to you.
I had a premonition, a movie in my mind,
confirming my suspicions of what I would find.
It followed me to L.A., down to Mexico,
came in through the back door at the start of the show.
Still all I need is you, I just need you.
Yeah you got the glue so I'm gonna give my heart to you.
Oh was a perfect day. Oh in a perfect way, you know,
something had go, you left me high, you left me low.
Now as I lie in pieces, and wait for your return,
the sun upon my forehead it burns baby burns baby burns.
An eye on all my horses, you've slept with all my men.
I'm never gonna get it again. Still all I need is you,
I just need you, I just need you. Yeah you got the glue,
so I'm gonna give my heart to you. Yeah you got the glue
And there's nothing I can do. Yeah you got the glue
So I'm gonna give my heart to you

Everything Is Broken
Glue, super glue, Elmer's glue
Duct tape, Scotch tape,
New, Coup deville, Elmer Fudd
strut late, Scotch hop
Industry Velcro, molten steel,
cement and plaster-of-Paris.
Gwyneth Kate Paltrow, bolt-on wheels,
repent and master Pari passu.
Adhesive binding, bonding agents,
sticky, clingy, gummy, tacky,
Cohesive windings, wonder patents,
quickie, swinging, chummy, wacky.
Fixed!
Running with glue
People warn you not to run with scissors,
But there's risks to be had with glue also,
There's tales without happy ever afters,
And it's even caused me personal woe,
As a child I foolishly ran with glue,
I'll tell you about that day which I rue,
Hopeful that the story will prevent you,
Enduring the ordeal that I went through,
I was running with the vile substance,
When I tripped on a broken flooring tile,
Which had a disastrous consequence,
Though I am quite sure it will tempt a smile,
I was stuck where I fell for near a week,
The way that I got free was quite unique,
But wasn't ideal as I'm now a freak,
Since I'm living with a tile on my cheek.

Marx
Come nearer to me to feel the real romance of my love,
And i will love you like the blue glue without as clue;
For i am in the cold all alone waiting for you to come in.
Blue, glue, clue, flue;
Come to me like the 'Sempe Stool in James Town',
For i have the bumper harvest of fish to share with you.

Stuck On You
(words & music by aaron schroeder - j. leslie mcfarland)
You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake-a, shake- sugar,
But youll never shake me
Uh-uh-uh
No-sir-ee, uh, uh
Im gonna stick like glue,
Stick because im
Stuck on you
Gonna run my fingers thru your long black hair
Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
Uh-uh-uh,
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
Im gonna stick like glue
Stick, because im
Stuck on you
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Aint gonna do you no good at all
cause once I catch ya and the kissin starts
A team o wild horses couldnt tear us apart
Try to take a tiger from his daddys side
Thats how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh,uh
Im gonna stick like glue
Stick, because im
Stuck on you

Rising dreams
Dreams!
My delicate dreams!
Woven with the tender threads of love,
Bound with the glue of belief.
When collide,
Break down
Into shears and shreads.
A thousand of them!
Each bit a tiny momento
Of time.
Each bit a priceless memory
Difficult to unwind.
I mourn,
My thousand tears
And bury them
Deep somewhere in my heart.
My heart,
Cemetery of my dreams.
My dreams,
Born a thousand lives
Dying a thousand deaths.
My delicate dreams
Woven with the threads of love
Bound with the glue of belief.
And
To my weirdest surprise
I see them rise
From thousand broken shears
From thousand broken shreds
With smile in their lips
Hope in their brows
They rise
Weaving together the threads of love
Bonding with the glue of belief.
Yes! They rise
My dreams They rise.-anjali

Ceausescu's Children 1996
Out of the manholes they crawl
to face another hopeless day.
Not rats or cockroaches,
but Romania's children.
Selling their miserable bodies
for food, or glue.
Food barely sustains, but sniffing
glue anaesthetises their misery.
Children of Romania, raped,
abused, diseased and forgotten.
Alina, just sixteen was heard to say.
'I wan't to die'
Why not?
She's only just alive.

Stuck
What am I gonna do Lord without him?
Think I'm drownin'. Don't know how to swim.
He kept my hopes high but now he's so low
that even if I follow him where will we go?
His spirit is gone. They've done him in.
No matter what he tries he just can't win.
But I love him. I love him
so there's nothing I can do
except stand by him all the way
and stick to him like glue.
We started out together and things were good.
I never asked for too much. Did what I could.
He can't get a job. He's tried every place.
Every time I see him there's pain on his face.
He's down on himself and what can I say,
the same old thing I say every day?
I love you. I love you
but there's nothing I can do
except stand by you all the way
and stick to you like glue.

Sand And Glue
Making it stick, drip upon drip, is that what you do, with sand and glue
Dont put out the light, let me see you tonight, cuz thats what I'll do, with you
Making it stick, drip upon drip, is that what you do, with sand and glue
Dont put out the light, let me see you tonight, cuz thats what I do, with you
What good is god or laughter, if you dont know what you're after whoo
Makes up the things that you do,
You're gutless and over-reaching, blessed and always preaching whoo
Makes up the things that you do
Making it stick, drip upon drip, is that what you do, with sand and glue
Dont put out the light, let me see you tonight, cuz thats what I'll do, to you
I'll tell you what I thinks funny, you've got the looks and money you
Make up the things that you do
Godless and without meaning, nothing left to believe in whoo
Makes up the things that you do
Making it stick, drip upon drip, is that what you do, with sand and glue
Dont put out the light, let me see you tonight, cuz thats what I'll do, to you

Addicted
I know that you have no place in my life,
I know....because....I had a place as a wife.
I'm not a whore that you can toss around,
I keep thinking...in...you a soul could be found.
Nothing,
Nothing but games.
Seeking a body to blame!
Knowing your game so well...
this I have to tell...
You have broken down all of my walls,
made my heart...wanting to fall.
My insides ache for you,
My thoughts....
stuck like glue.
None of this is really true,
you are my addiction,
I have to be through.
I'm simple and quiet,
you need drama,
to keep you alive.
I feel,
you don't...
So let me end with this,
my soul....forever
you will miss.
I have to find a way,
get rid of you,
something,
to rid of glue.
Ode to Conformity
Do as I do, not as I say;
Find an effing way;
Go beyond the stupid teacher;
Be your own inner creature.
Run the glue onto the blue paper,
Then stick it firmly together;
On it draw a perfect face
In exactly the right place
So if you hold it up to a mirror
You'll see your own interior,
Your intelligence
That is your diligence,
And astounds the professor
Who now has become your confessor.
Get one job for effing life.
Get out of bed
And head for the rifeness,
Turning your back on the ol' blue paper,
Still the same
Still the same
Still the same,
Playing a newfangled game.
When you go out for something to do,
All you do is forget the glue,
And drink yourself into a stew.
Nothing is ever new.
Ever.

Down the road
As I walk down these roads I see people crying,
Trying not show their true feeling toward the person they love,
The more I walk on these roads I understand that people have suffered enough heart aches,
Down this road don’t have a clue where it will take me,
Continue knowing that I have a glue on this hand and my other hand holding a knife,
A glue that might give me a clue,
A knife that might end my life,
Yet I have a decision to make which I want the knife or the glue,
Who am I to judge what I want in life that might end it,
I am out of my mind,
I need to start over but there is no where to began it,
I have suffered enough,
I take it back,
Take back all the pain, heart aches, sorrows, agony,
Take it all back,
You have caused me to see them all,
I don’t need this,
You have feed me lies, hate, and hopes,
I am fed up with you,
Please make this go away,
Down the road I go knowing what will this life take me.

Unabbreviated Love
How long will I last
Standing out here on my own
I wonder, did I move too fast
You know I hate slow dancing alone
I keep leading with my heart
You keep saying
That were worlds apart
That our love is so taboo
These empty arms
Wont last too long
Hope you appreciate
I need your unabbreviated love
And Ill stick like glue
Can I anticipate
I need your unabbreviated love
Now, thats how I feel
Im gonna be your lucky star
If you stop spinning your wheels
And sending out these false alarms
Why must love feel like a heart attack
You held me once and
You keep coming back
Oh boy you havent got a clue
Oh these empty arms
Wont last too long
Hope you appreciate
I need your unabbreviated love
And Ill stick like glue
Can I anticipate
I need your unabbreviated ...
Love is unavoidable
Love can put you back on track
As a matter of fact
Love makes you forget your troubles
A love like that
You dont throw back, no, no
I keep leading with my heart
You keep saying
That were worlds apart
That our love is so taboo
These empty arms
Wont last too long
Hope you appreciate
I need your unabbreviated love
And Ill stick like glue
Can I anticipate
I need your unabbreviated love
(to fade)
Need ya yeah
I wanna hold ya
I wanna kiss ya
I need your unabbreviated love
I wanna hold ya
I wanna squeeze ya yeah
I need your unabbreviated love
