Sweet Adeline
Cut this picture into you and me
Burn it backwards kill this history
Make it over make it stay away
Or hatell say the ending that love started to stay
Theres a kid a floor below me saying brother can you spare
Sunshine for a brother old man winters in the air
Walked me up a story asking how you are
Told me not to worry you were just a shooting star
Sweet adeline
Sweet adeline
My clementine
Sweet adeline
Its a picture perfect evening and Im staring down the sun
Fully loaded deaf and dumb and done
Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head
Or any situation where Im better off then dead

Farewell Adeline
Farewell Adeline.
She lay with pillows for support,
a vain attempt to find comfort.
The noble spirit housed within
that frail translucent shell of skin.
Still took a kindly interest
in that small world that she knew best
Her face a mask of silver bones
back lit by a candle’s flickering tones.
The hollow orbits of her eyes
blue shaded now but very wise
The eyes themselves of violet blue
smile on me as they used to do.
Her hands at peace lay white and still
Lily petals that lacked the will
to knit or sew or read a book.
Adeline was content to look
at those who sometimes came to call
or watch the shadows on the wall.
Beyond all pain she’d reached the place
granted to some by heavens grace.
She spoke her voice was welcoming
still had that old familiar ring.
Come in my love and have a chair
beside me so I know you’re there.
I beg a favour my old friend
will you sit with me to end?
I will not keep you waiting long
I see the lights and hear the song.
Soon now the gates will open wide
and gladly I will step inside
Will you grant me what I ask?
I know it is no easy task.
What could I do but nod my head
and sit beside her on the bed
and gently take her hand in mine
to say farewell to Adeline.
I watched her eyelids gently close
as if she lay in sweet repose
Adeline has gone and left me
with nothing but a memory.

My brother.
My brother's so sweet
in time's of need.
my brother's so responsible
he taught me a lot of things.
my brother's so funny
we even teared from laughing.
my brother's so fierce
don't mess with him when hes angry.
my brother fell in love
and he's very very happy.
my brother made up his mind
and had a nice sweet family.
my brother is far away
i'm sad when i think of him.
but the most I love about
my brother hes always there for me
when I need him the most.
A Nude Picture
Your love is like a nude picture in my mind and,
It is sweeter than a candy pie;
You are real and i am here to stay.
Like a nude picture,
Your taste is sweeter than the candy;
For it makes me feel so high!
Your love is like a nude picture in my mind and,
I am dying for your love my sweet one;
Oh girl, throw me an apple of your sweet love to run for it.
True love knows no boundary and,
Sweet love knows no barrier;
You are my precious one and, what is your hot-line? !
The only picture i have in my mind is your nude body.
I will wait for you always!
Even in the rain;
I will sing for you always!
Even on your bed;
My nude lover,
My nude picture,
What a beauty that you are! !
Like Romeo and Juliet.
Do rebounce on me always,
For your love is like a nude picture in my mind;
With the reflections of you in the mirror.
You are sweeter than the candy pie,
With much hope and dreams to the world of roses;
I will wait for you always my sweet one.

A Hundred Years
Baby sweet baby
Wont you please
Come on back home to me
Ive been so lonely
These few days feel like
A hundred years
How you make me worry baby
How you make me worry about you
Here I am Im knowing
That I cant live without you
Here I am thinking
Someday we make this a long time thing
Here I am Im knowing
That I would do most anything
If you keep on loving me
Baby
Baby sweet baby
Ive been waiting
Seem like waiting is all I do
Dont say you wont come back to me
And make me have to go aout chasing after you
We get in a fight
You stay out late
You have no idea
How much you make me worry baby
Called everyone in town
I think you know
So come on now
Come on come on
Back home
Baby sweet baby
Im a fool in love
But I still got my pride too
Ill wait a little longer
Ill suffer for my heart
Then Ill go find someone to worry about me
As much as I worry about you

Cringemaker
What ever happened to my college belle
When did she turn into the wife from hell
Cringemaker
What are we coming to
Cringemaker
What have they done to you
In the beginning we rode high on the hog
Down in the kitchen now its dog eat dog
Our little cringemaker up on the second floor
Sweet little cringemaker
Hey listen cringemaker who locked the bedroom door
Sweet little cringemaker
Sweet little cringemaker
And every time I go to make my play
She rolls mighty boulders in my way
Say little cringemaker its such a bumpy ride
Hey little cringemaker thought you were on my side
And every time I get to have my say
She just laughs and looks the other way
Oh little cringemaker this time you hurt my pride
Sweet little cringemaker
Say little cringemaker where am I gonna hide
Sweet little cringemaker
Sweet little cringemaker
Nobody told us when we started out
Just what this life is really all about
Sometimes I wonder and you do too
If I could do it all over would i
Still do it all over you
She calls me daddy and I just go numb
Down in the bottom where the love comes from
Sweet little cringemaker what happened on the way
Sweet little cringemaker to where we are today
I try to figure but Im way too dumb
How we got here from where we started from
Cringe I guess we always knew
Swee little who we would turn into
Sweet little cringemaker

Taste It
Yes its me
I am the one
To make you see
Where we belong
I was shaking
Like a leaf
All wrapped up
In my dirty sheets
If I agree
To what comes next
I would be faking
With the best of them
It seems a crime
I would commit
Without the difference
Of all the worlds gifts
Sweet sweet sweet
Could you taste it
Never never never
Never never never
Taste it
To dream
All the time
Without a scream
In the dead of night
All those faces
Come back to me
Ill be begging
To swim that sea
Yes I made
A picture story
Make you cry
In all your glory
A need to quench
The thirst of many
To justify
And make ready
Sweet sweet sweet
Could you taste it
This realization
Owes us strength to show
If youre uncertain
Youre invited to believe
These are the words I speak
These are the words I speak
A dislocation
]from where we once came from
Give sons and daughters
Because we want to go on
These are the words she speaks
These are the words she speaks
Sweet sweet sweet
Could you taste it

The Picture Of You
I have got the picture of you inside me and,
I can figure you out like the sweet love of an apple;
For love baths your nakedness daily like,
Your sweet bed of roses.
I have got the picture of you inside me and,
I am waiting for the day that we will meet;
Oh, how the birds do sing to your beauty,
For your sweet aroma is in the air.
I have got the picture of you inside me and,
I will search all over the world to look for you;
For this beauty of yours should not pass me by,
Because you are all that i need.

Nobodys around, it will be a sweet sound.

not heven but hell,
where you've always belonged.
oh brother, oh brother, oh brother... just die tonight.

Its amazing, i know this is ture,

Oh brother just die just die just DIE tonight
You'll be on the missing person list,

untill we realize this,
NOBODY LIKES YOU!
Oh brother of mine, why don't you just die tonight.
oh brother, oh brother, oh brother... just die tonight.
i can see it now your lying in the snow,
blood red all aroung,
from your head down to you toes.

and wish for your sweet death.
Say your good byes, though nobody will cry
just pull that God damn trigger and just die.
Oh brother of mine why don't you just die.

Ever in thought
The song is sweet
Catch not it in the cassette.
The picture is sexy.
Hang not it on the wall.
She is your sweet heart.
Own not her as your mate
Let them ever stay away
So that they stay in you.

Sweet as the smell of success,
Her body's warm and wet.
She gets me thru this god awful loneliness,
A natural high butterfly.
Oh, i, i need. need, need her.
Just like a willow tree,
A breath of spring, you see.
And, oh boy, you don't know what she do to me,
She makes me sweat, forget who i am.
Oh i, i need, need, need her.
Well, i was wond'rin' how long this could go on,
On and on.
'cause i thought i could never be surprised.
But could it be that i bit my own tongue?
Mm-hmm,
It's so hard to swallow when you're wrong.
A bird of paradise,
Sunrise in her eyes.
God only knows such a sweet surprise,
I was blind, she blew my mind,
Think that i, oh, i love, love, love her.
- "stay on your d! - d! - stay there. hey!"
Sweet, sweet, sweet,
Sweet, sweet smell.
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Such sweet, sweet,
Sweet, sweet smell.

Pretty Odd
i love you but sometimes i do not
you're so sweet, an angel and divine
but sometimes, you're significantly human and you're the world
you're a poem, a song, and a quote in my head.
i desire to be with you but sometimes i do not
you're so lovely, a fairy and marvelous
but sometimes you're so far-fetched
you're a shooting star, a wish, and a dream come true
i miss you but sometimes i do not
you're wonderful, a firefly and unforgettable
but more often than not, you’re jaded and you fade
you're a perfect memory, a timeless sunset and a priceless picture
i love you and make you believe that
i created our story and wove a web of intertwining fates and destinies
but sometimes, i do not [love you]
i erased the doors of the mazes that lead me to your paths
perfectly, you're a heart's desire
but i forgot whose heart
pretty odd, i think it's mine when i see you
but perfectly know that my heart beats not til you're gone
i love you but sometimes i do not
or perhaps, it's love that i know not

The Tryst
Ambrose stood at the cottage step
A bouquet in his hand,
He'd come to woo sweet Adeline
From a strange and far off land,
They'd known each other since children, and
They'd made to each a vow:
‘I never will love another more
Than I love you, even now! '
They'd played in the heat of the summer sun,
They'd played in the autumn shade,
But winter carried him far from home
And the love that they'd almost made,
They wrote through spring and the summer's height
They wrote right through to the fall,
But the winter chills saw the postman fill
No letterbox at all.
His letters came back, duly stamped
‘Not known at this address! '
He grieved as the spring made true love sing
Anew in his sorrowing breast,
He bought a ticket and travelled home
Third Class, by Packet Steam,
But fretted all of the way across
For the love of his Adeline.
He knocked at the cottage door where she
Had lived when the world was good,
But the knocker made an echoing sound
On the door, where Ambrose stood,
The flowers she'd tended lovingly
Were dead in the window box,
Except for a patch of colour there,
A clump of forget-me-nots.
He knocked, and then he knocked again,
There came no patter of feet,
Only the sound of silence there
As he felt his own heart beat,
He little knew as he turned away
That a bier stood in the hall,
And the coffin that lay there sombrely
Knew nothing of life at all.
She'd ceased to write when she caught the sight
Of the blood on her handkerchief,
And the winter cough said clear enough
That there'd be no summer heat,
She lay in the coffin, sweetly dressed,
With a note beside her brow:
‘I never will love another more
Than I love you, even now! '

Heads Were Dancing
You talked me into the game of chance.
It was 39, before the music started,
When you walked up to me and you said,
Hey, heads we dance.
Well, I didnt know who you were
Until I saw the morning paper:
There was a picture of you
A picture of you cross the front page.
It looked just like you, just like you in every way.
But it couldnt be true.
It couldnt be true.
You stepped out of a stranger.
They say that the devil is a charming man.
And just like you I bet he can dance.
And hes coming up behind in his long
Tailed black coat dance,
All tails in the air.
But the penny landed with its head dancing.
A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform,
Standing with your head held high,
Hot down to the floor.
But it couldnt be you.
It couldnt be you.
Its a picture of hitler.
He go do-do-do-do-do
He go do-do-do-do-do
He go do-do-do-do-do--
Do you want to dance?
Well, I couldnt see what was to be,
So I just stood there laughing.
A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform,
Standing with your head held high,
Hot down to the floor.
But it couldnt be you.
It couldnt be you.
Its a picture of hitler.
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh--
Heads were dancing.

Lifelines
you saw me sleeping on the couch tonight,
i know it serves you right
makes you luckier than i
all the colors in the room have changed
compared to yesterday
but brother we discovered you
we re pushing on
we re passing through
ad it wont be long
yill I walk with you
tonight Im down
im inside out
staring at the pictures in the album you forgot about
and isnt it a shame
times have changed
but isnt it strange
lifelines stay the same, the same
we re never where we want to be
thats okay with me
thats just the way it is, they say
it feels like maybe
that youre my history
but brother Ive rediscovered you and
we re pushing on
we re passing through
and it wont be long
till I walk with you
tonight Im down
yeah, Im inside out
staring at the picture in the album you forgot about
isnt it a shame
that times have changed
but isnt it strange
lifelines stay the same
round and round
i cant believe my heart is waiting this long
all along, weve been children in a cold world
where wonder was lost, every day
and if love was a compass
oh, Id lost my way

Adeline
My love to you is like a bottle of Guinness from Ireland,
But your laughter to me is like the smile of Barack Obama!
Adeline my love,
My heart is ceded to you like Obama in the Guiness Book of Records;
And don't worry much about life,
Because laughter is the best medicine on this love.

Abu
Put your lovely arms around me and,
Kiss me all over my sweet one!
And like ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt,
You are mine forever on this sweet world between us.
Now put your right hand on my head and,
Kiss me all over again and again!
For my love is for you only like,
The boiling point of water melting an ice.
My love is flowing with milk and honey,
The very liquid for you my love!
So lift up your eyes and look,
For i am always ready for your sweet love.
Abu, i am a woman of peace and love;
And well trained by my parents to care for you.
So come and stay with me my love and,
Let us live forever and ever on this sweet muse of love.

Our Sweet Love
I thought about a summer day
And how the time just floats away
Pretty things like incense and flowers
I wanna make them part of
Our sweet love
Could last forever
(our sweet love)
Our sweet love
Could last forever
I thought about a winter night
And how Id like to hold you tight
Candlelight the warmth of a fire
We could make them part of
Our sweet love
Honey its heaven
(our sweet love)
Our sweet love
Could last forever
Sweet love sweet love
Like a child with his new toy
My heart is filled with joy for
Our sweet love
Honey its heaven
(our sweet love)
Our sweet love
Lord knows I love her so
I feel it down inside my soul
A precious love like this can flower
Theres nothing in this world like
Our sweet love
Should last forever

Our sweet love
Could last forever

Could last forever

My brother Part -II(Read my brother Part-I frst)
After I returned from the nursing home,
My Bumped head looked like a dome..
My Brother not giving me a moment of peace,
Started jumping around me like a tease,
How I wished I could beat him then!
But then I remembered my previous happenings again,
The moment I recovered fully,
My brother pinched me and called me a bully!
Suddenly, a plan struck my head!
'Will you play with me? ' to my brother I said
My Brother in reply said'Great! '
And was not a bit afraid!
As he didn't know what I was going to do with him,
He was completely unaware, as to me it seemed.
Then our Great Playing started,
My Brother always dodged me and darted,
Winning the game everytime,
Then I thought of doing my crime!
My plan was to hold him by his knee
And tickle him till he cried, you see,
But with my blasted luck!
I was the Sitting duck,
'cause soon my brother heart his nose
And I was full of remose
I never wanted gom to hurt that way,
But my mom didn't listen to what I had to say,
She thought that I was taking revenge,
And scolded me like a savage,
So you now see what kind of a boy my brother is,
So my request Is stay away from him please!
