Modern Day Catastrophists
take those potatoes out of your ear
listen to the warnings
verify all your fears
there's a world outside
that's ready to blow
and we're all to blame
when it finally explodes
you gotta listen up
gotta listen to what
they're telling you
gotta listen up and think
about what they're saying to you
they're the modern day catastrophists
they've got practical solutions
(know all the right equations)
they're the self-appointed
righteous pragmatists
and they know 50 ways
to save the world
what makes you think
you can cure our disease?
maybe its just our biology
maybe its time to make room
for another species
this is the 21st Century

Be still, but be in vigour.
Listen.
The winds of change blow at your feet.
Listen.
They call your name and feed your heart.
Listen.
They tell you what you want and more,
listen.
Just stop, and listen.
They know you,
truly,
and they are simply here to show you the way.
They know the quivering child who fears the world who resides inside your soul.
Listen.
They bring you no harm, so
listen.
Listen and just be glad.
Your angels have come to take you home.

I dated siamese twins
I slept with bigfoot, too
Get me on sally jesse
Put me on donahue
cause I wanna tell the world about it
Right now
My dogs a narcoleptic
My moms a circus freak
I gotta get a spot on
Geraldos show this week
cause I wanna tell the world about it
Right now
Im just an anorexic codependant bingo addict
Stripper born without a chin
And Im only comfortable talking about it
When the whole wide world is listening in
Talk soup... talk soup
Listen to me, (listen to me) listen to me, (listen to me) listen to me
My wife ran off with elvis
My boss shaved off my hair
Ive got a thing for poodles
And rubber underwear
And I wanna tell the world about it
Right now
I had a close encounter
I never chew my food
I got eleven nose jobs
I yodel in the nude
And I wanna tell the world about it
Right now
Im just a cross-dressin alcoholic neo-nazi
Porno star, as you may have guessed
And Im really gonna feel a whole lot better
If you let me get this thing off my chest
Talk soup... talk soup
Listen to me, (listen to me) listen to me, (listen to me) listen to me
Im just your average schizophrenic nymphomaniac
Albino go-go dancer, you see
Nothin so bad that I cant share it
With a billion friends on national tv, whoa...
I have no genitalia
I sold my kids for cheese
I love my blow up doll, so
Bring out those cameras, please
cause I wanna tell the world about it
Right now
Talk soup... talk soup
Listen to me, (listen to me) listen to me, (listen to me) listen to me
Talk soup... talk soup

Pressure Free
i would love to be pressure free
from the weight of nothing that bears down on me
how can i assimilate two thousand years
when i can't even deal with everyday fears
i've been married and i've been a slut
and in the middle of both i said so what
gotta stop thinking like a shrink
gotta listen to my own promises:
wake up you, there's nothing more
what do you think you're waiting for
but if i'm waiting for nothing, then what am i doing?
don't you ever do what i did
listen to the TV listen to the other kids
now at stage one i'm still tying my shoes
all the time i'm missing hints all the time i'm dropping clues

You Just Gotta Be
If I satisfy you, if you satisfy me
Once the course has been set
Gonna need all the help I can get but
You just gotta be you, n I just gotta be me
I cant classify you, you cant pacify me
We cant make it at all
You wont even take my calls
I just want ta be loved
n you just gotta be free
Ill smile and tell it to the world
You just gotta be
Pardon me for sayin
What a price youve been payin
What more can I say
You might feel different some day
If it matter to you, it still matters to me
Youll find me by the bayou
Thinkin wicked thoughts of you
I just want ta be strong, you just gotta be wrong
I cant clarify you, you cant verify me
I cant make it by stealth
You wont even share the wealth so
You just gotta be you
And I just gotta be me
And I will tell that to the world
You just gotta be
With a gratified mind, Ill be on the highway
Just as soon as I can
Where theres a will theres a way so until then
I just want ta be me, and you just gotta be

Surrounding castles in the sky

Listen, Learn, Read On
In ages past when spells were cast
In a time of men in steel
When a man was taught no special thing
It was all done by feel
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the book of taliesyn
Hear the song of lovely joan
Her sound so sweet and clear
In the courtroom of the king
Among children and the peers
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the book of taliesyn
now hear ye the words of taliesyn,
On the foaming beach of the ocean,
In the day of trouble,
I shall be of more service to thee
Than three hundred salmon...
The hare he bounds across the page
Past castles white and fair
Past dreaming chessmen on their boards
With a fools mate as a snare
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the book of taliesyn
three times I have been born
I know this from meditation...
The bird he flies the distance
From pages two to six
Past minstrels in their boxes
To the waters of the styx
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the book of taliesyn
Dont take the pictures lightly
Listen to their sound
For from their coloured feeling
Experience is found
So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page, read the book of taliesyn
all the sciences of the world are collected in my breast,
For I know what has been, what is now,
And what hereafter will occur...

Healing Part Iii
Listen, listen
Listen to the cry
Of a world thats calling to you
Listen to the cry
Of the helpless souls that need you
Though you may have trepidation
You can not refuse
You will find your own salvation
In the path you choose
Listen, listen
Listen to the voice
That whispers in the silence
Listen as the voice
Solidifies your self reliance
Let the peace that youve discovered
Be a guiding light
Let the cry that youve uncovered
Set the world aright
You could not be closer to your maker
Never more or less alone
If you know thyself
Theres nothing else to know
You are whole
Listen, listen
Listen to the sound,
Let nothing disturb you
You are in a place
Where nothing can hurt you
If you feel a strange sensation,
It can do no harm
Like the spiral of creation,
It will soon move on

Hold Back The River
Stop your pretending
Listen to what Ive got to say
How your heads went away
Only here for a day
And that grave I just made
Is for me when I get paid
Wont you wait a while
Move to the blue
Sometimes people dont want to say
Old time dancers dont die that way
See that grave Ive just made
Its for me when I get paid
Somebodys gotta hold back the river
Somebody like you
Do you love and surrender
Sometimes I dont feel I can remember
I think its fair to mention
About the days when I get paid
Somebodys gotta hold back the river
Somebody like you
Somebodys gotta hold back the river
Somebody like you
I want a little loving
I told you all to listen
But you never liked what you heard
I take what I am given
This may sound absurd
I share a double vision
That started the transition
Hey wheres jimmy jazz
Steady on the scale
I told you to listen
I told you all to listen
Somebodys gotta hold back the river
Somebody like you
Somebodys gotta hold back the river
Somebody like you
You know that somebody
You know that somebody
You know that somebody
But it aint you

Warmth Into Frost (Part 2)
Can you still feel your warmth
or are you covered in Frost?
The Warmth within is free...
do you feel the joy of Free Heat?
Or, do you lick the feet of the boss?
'Make sure those 'I's are dotted
and those 'T's are crossed! '
-'Right away master! Right way boss! '
The Pawns are lost...
No sign of Free Thought...
That's why ya gotta know what you are,
and know what you're NOT.
Can you hear the Voice clear,
in your Inner Ear, my dear?
Or, are you imprisoned by Fear?
Pull back the curtain my peers!
Listen here, listen here! !
Listen up, Shirley!
Listen up, Earl!
This ol' cold world'll
make yer soul
surely swirl...
It turns 12-year olds into Women!
and women into girly-girls!
Be careful...THIS ride is one hell of a whirl!
Let me off for a sec, i think i'm gonna hurl...
Gotta straighten a few of the Curls,
polish our Mind's Pearls;
Take a break from the City,
and get back to the Rural-

Dont Let Me Go
So much to say
But where do I start
Would you listen if I spoke from the heart
Its simple things
That keep us apart
You know it doesnt have to be this way
Cant you hear it in my voice
You gotta listen when I say
Dont let me go when Im this low
Why cant we talk about it
Why cant we figure it out
I wanna know as people grow
How do they sort it all out
Work out what love is about
So tell me now yeah Ive gotta know
When this feeling Ive got wont let go
Some people stop
And some people stare
Im hearing whispers that you no longer care
Should I stay
Should I turn away
Stop playing games now you know its not fair
Cant you hear it in my voice
You gotta listen when I say
Dont let me go when Im this low
Why cant we talk about it
Why cant we figure it out
I wanna know as people grow
How do they sort it all out
Work out what love is about
So tell me now yeah Ive gotta know
When this feeling Ive got wont let go
You make me think Ive got this feeling for you
Ive tried so hard, wont you listen to me?
Cause we can make it we can see this through
Let me start by telling you
Dont let me go when Im this low
Why cant we talk about it
Why cant we figure it out

The world out there is hard and dirty

I know theres gonna be times when youre down and out
So listen now kid
Listen now son
Ill tell you what its all about
You gotta try to keep your head above the water
Thats what my mama told me
You gotta try to keep a step ahead of time
And even though you do some things you shouldnt ought to
Shouldnt ought to
If you love your brothers love will come back to you
Lovell come back to you
Lovell come back to you
Lovell come back to you
Lived my life in so many ways
To find out who I am
Times approaching
I really can say
Truly I understand
Got more livin to do for myself
To run along now
Play along later
Stay up by the shelf
Sing it girls
Gotta try to keep your head above the water
Yes you do yes you do
You gotta try to keep a step ahead of time
Even though you do some things you shouldnt ought to
If you love your sisters, love will come back to you
Lovell come back to you
Lovell come back to you
All the world is turnin slow
Slowly it will die
But that is something I never will see
I dont know why
Tryin to take the world the best I can
Write a bit now
Love a bit later
Stand up like a man
Hey, hey
Gotta try to keep your head above the water
Yes you do yes you do yes you do
Gotta try to keep a step ahead of time
Even though you do some things you shouldnt ought to

Dont Listen/ listen
Don't listen when they tell you that you can't be somebody well known someday
Don't listen
to the stupid remarks people say
Don't listen
when people spread rumors.
Listen
when people give you advise
Listen
when they try to bring you spirit high
Listen
because they always try to help you.
Don't listen
to the people who try to get you high
Don't listen
to the people who lie
Don't listen
to the people who tell you that your ugly.
Listen
to the people who make you smile
Listen
to the people and get to know them for a while
Listen
to the people for you may learn something everyday.
