A Fine Day For A Parade
Mrs. carver says shes sorry
She knows enough not to worry
But what does she know about crime?
Believes the town is sinking
The price of forward thinking
You stay up all night half the time
Racking your mind
Alone in the night
While all your neighbors sleep tight
Years ago she lost her daughter
Off to a sacred order
Where they got stoned and worked the earth
Clears up her head with bourbon
Cause beer is so suburban
And declasse for what its worth
She drinks it down down down
For all the old old days
Shes thinking of it now
Its nice to get away
But what a fine day for a parade
She stays up mending curtains
Until her fingers hurt, and
You can get so bored of it all
No one can say for certain
Shell never safely know when
An asteroid will kill us all
She drinks it down down down
For all the old old days
Shes thinking of it now
Its nice to get away
But what a fine day for a parade

Shes Tight
Words and music by rick nielsen
When Im down I make a call.
Got the number written on the wall.
First its busy then I try again.
Oh, whos she talking to, could it be him?
I got the number and it starts to ring.
I get excited and I start to dream.
I start to fantasize of memory lane.
Then she answers and she says right way.
She says Im home on my own, home all alone.
So I got off the phone.
(shes tight.) shes ahead of her time.
(shes tight.) shes one of a kind.
(shes tight.) shes a talented girl.
(shes tight.) shes got her head down tight.
I have something got to say to you.
Amnesia and my train of thought.
On the tip, tip of my tongue.
I had a vision when I was young.
You floated in, we floated up.
Through the window and down the hall.
I had a smoke and went upstairs.
Turned the door and opened the key. she spoke...
Im on my own, home all alone.
So I got off the phone.
(shes tight.) shes ahead of her time.
(shes tight.) shes one of a kind.
(shes tight.) shes a talented girl.
(shes tight.) shes got her head down tight.
(shes tight.) shes giving me the go.
(shes tight.) shes giving me the high sign.
(shes tight.) well turn off the lights.
(shes tight.) pull down the shades.
(shes nice, shes tight.) turn on the camra.
(shes nice, shes tight.) and getting ready for action.
Turn off the radio.
Turn on the video.

Something Else
Look there! here she comes
Here comes that girl again
Wanted to date her since I dont know when
She dont notice me when I pass
She goes with all the guys out of my class
That aint stopping me from thinking to myself
Shes sure fine looking shes something else
Look there, cross the street
Theres a car made just for me
To own that car would be a luxury
Right now I cant afford the gas
Brand new convertibles out of my class
That aint stopping me from thinking to myself
That cars fine looking and shes something else
[instrumental]
Well look here wait and see
Work hard and save my dough
I bought a car at the motor show
Me and that girl we go round and round
Look real sharp with the flat top down
Keep dreaming and thinking to myself
If it comes all true shes something else
Look here whats all this
Never gone through this before
Here I am knocking on the door
Cars out front, its all mine
Its a 49 job not a 59
I got the girl and Im thinking to myself
Shes sure fine looking shes something else

So Unusual (Live @ Java Joes - 06.27.02)
This is the most unusual story, of a most unusual girl
she stood painting my picture, of a most unusual world
she can crawl out of frame while shes hanging on the wall
and shes calling my name
shes not so usual
shes most unusual
shes not so usual
shes so unusual
shes mostly a ghost, the way she watches over me
she complains when i smoke, but then you do the same to me
shes controlling my brain activity, knowing when i go to sleep
she'll catch you when I'm falling hard
shes so unusual
shes not so usual
shes not so usual
shes so unusual
shes not so hooked on the drugs like i thought she was
and never sucking on the lime, and hardly sipping on the wine
and dispite of her biopolar rollercoastering
i think i can try, she'll keep me singing differently
and its fine cause shes with me now, most all of the time
trying to saving the light, thinking not of her own
and always kissing me goodnight when i just need to be alone
shes so sweet, so discrete, shes exactly what i need
not even make believe
shes not so usual
so unusual
shes not so usual
so unusual
not so usual, and not to practical either
but shes not so mystical, but not to magical either
but shes not so outta control, and not so used to the flow
shes not so usual
nah, shes a natural
ohhh, shes not so usual
shes most unusual
shes so unusual
shes so unusual
shes gonna use me ohhh
shes not so u...

When Shes Gone
She has a light and a faith that wont die.
She has a heart of a lion and the will to survive.
She has a pretty young daughter back home
Wholl soon start to cry when shes gone.
When shes gone. when shes gone. when shes gone.
Now she spends her days with a mission to live.
She loves to laugh, and will offer a hand to forgive.
And she has a man with two arms open wide who will take her in when shes gone.
When shes gone. shes gone. when shes gone.
She fights through the pain and she smiles when she sleeps.
(smiles when she sleeps)
And dreams of the days when well all finally meet.
She often says that she lives in a world well never know.
We hope we never know.
We sit together and talk about our faith.
We play a game where well sing all our troubles away.
Though shes glad to be with me,
She knows darm well that her next life awaits when shes gone.
Oh, when shes gone.
When shes gone.
When shes gone, shes gone. shes gone.
Shes gone away. shes gone away.
Shes gone. shes gone. when shes gone.
Oh, no. (when shes gone)
Oh, shes gone.
I know shes gone. (when shes gone)

Out Of Sync
Shes out of sync
And everyone around her
Knows that something is wrong
Shes out of sync
Shes got all the symptoms
Of a girl who skipped a beat
Shes out of sync
A piece of ancient history
Shes a walking mirage
Shes out of sync
She entered through the exit
And never stopped to think
Shes out of sync shes a half step behind
Shes out of luck her body split from her mind
Shes out of orbit shell never connect
Shell run out of time before she accepts shes out of sync
Shes out of sync ---- (sync)
Shes out of sync ---- (sync)
Shes out of sync
And everybody senses
Theres a distance to keep
Shes out of sync
And totally committed
To living in a dark age
Shes out of sync
Shes constantly undoing
Whats already been done
Shes out of sync
Trapped in a silent movie
And shes on the brink
Shes out of focus
Shes a warp in time
Shes discontinued
A break in the line

Something In The Way She Moves
Something in the way she moves
Theres something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If Im feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.
Chorus:
n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
Shes around me now
Almost all the time.
n(and) if Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,
n(and) shes been with me now
Quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.___________
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
-- she has the power to go where no one else can find me,
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know, you know.
Well I said I just got to know that:
It isnt what shes got to say
Or how she thinks or where shes been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way -
It doesnt much matter what they mean,
Weh (when/well? ) she says them mostly just to calm me down.
Chorus:
n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
A-shes around me now
Almost all the time.
If Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,
And shes been with me now
Quite a long,
Long
Time -
Yes, and I feel fine.___________

Shes Single Again
(charlie craig, peter mccann)
I just got to tell you what I saw last night
I wish I was guessing but I know that Im right
She walked in the place with a smile on her face
And I wondered why she was alone
Every man watched her as she swayed on by
The way she was looking every woman could cry
Then I saw her sit down with a lawyer
And I knew what was going on
Chorus:
Shes single again
Hold on to your man
Shell make us worry and cry
And bring us broken lives
And heartaches that never end
Shes single again
Shes no womans friend
Shes making her move
Shes got nothing to lose
Oh look out
Shes single again
Is this number 4
Is this number 5
How many husbands has she buried alive
She uses the favors that the good lord gave her
With the devils desire
Well I bet shes thinking
Shes on top of the world
And Ive seen her working
So Im warning you girls
Shes single again
Shes got a way with men
But she better get away from mine
cause (repeat chorus)
Yeah shes making her move
Shes got nothing to lose
Oh look out
Shes single again

Boys
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Fresh out of school the young girl lose the sound
Shes gonna go where the young bands hang around
And its still to right with a voice inside
Shes screaming, dreaming
And theres no disguise when you look in her eyes shes scheming
Im thinking about the boys
Shes thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys
There in the dark he starts to touch her hair
Others go round but right now you dont care
Well you just dont fight when theyre holding you tight
That feeling, feeling
Well it looks to good and hes making it so appealing
Im thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys
Still feeling ground as she goes to make the kill
Watching her move the world is standing still
Cos its still too right with a voice inside
You screaming, dreaming
And theres no disguise when you look in their eyes shes scheming

Thinking about the boys

Now Shes Gone
Written by gerry beckley, 1977
Found on harbor.
Please believe in me
Though my love is hard to see
Now shes gone (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
Ill remain (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
But these tears (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
I cant contain (shes gone, shes gone)
So can I count on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to count on you
Smile away these blues
I dont care if Im accused
Now shes gone (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
I dont mind (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
But, I got a feelin (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
Its all designed (shes gone, shes gone)
To make me call on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to call on you

Out On The Weekend
Think Ill pack it in and buy a pick-up
Take it down to l.a.
Find a place to call my own and try to fix up
Start a brand new day
The woman Im thinking of - she loved me all up
But Im so down today
Shes so fine shes in my mind
I hear her callin
See the lonely boy, out on the weekend
Trying to make it stay
Cant relate to joy, he tries to speak and
Cant begin to say
She got pictures on the wall
That make me look up
From her big brass bed
Now Im running down the road trying to stay up
Somewhere in her head
The woman Im thinking of - she loved me all up
But Im so down today
Shes so fine shes in my mind
I hear her callin
See the lonely boy, out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay
Cant relate to joy, he tries to speak and
Cant begin to say

Sing It Out For Love
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Theyve been out on the road so long
Now theyre working their way through all the dirty towns
Singing their hearts out
To the drunks who haunt the bars
Still the ghosts will keep on calling
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again
Guess she heard through a million tears
When you sing you should brush the hair out of your eyes
Come and sit by me girl
Would you like to share my beer?
Feel his hand slip down her shoulder
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again
But shes lonely - thinking of home
Thinking is sad
And knowing she lost the life
She could have had
Watching trucks as they roll on by
And shell wave as they disappear around the bend
Shrugging her shoulders
And shell head back to the bar
Cue the band the boss is shouting
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again
But shes lonely - thinking of home
Thinking is sad
Shes thinking about the good times
Never had
And wondering why the bad times
Get so bad

Shes Every Woman
Shes sun and rain, shes fire and ice
A little crazy but its nice
And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone
cause shell rage just like a river
Then shell beg you to forgive her
Shes every woman that Ive ever known.
Shes so new york and then l.a.
And every town along the way
Shes every place that Ive never been
Shes makin love on rainy nights
Shes a stroll through christmas lights
And shes everything I want to do again.
It needs no explanation
cause it all makes perfect sense
For when it comes down to temptation
Shes on both sides of the fence.
No it needs no explanation
cause it all makes perfect sense
When it comes down to temptation
Shes on both sides of the fence.
Shes anything but typical
Shes so unpredictable
Oh but even at her worst it aint that bad
Shes as real as real can be
And shes every fantasy
Lord shes every lover that Ive ever had
And shes every lover that Ive never had

Honeymoon With `b Troop
My baby, shes crazy, shes lazy
So shes always bummin around
Girls in france dont stand a chance
'cos Ive always got my baby around
So, dont touch her
Oh, its so fine, and you know whats mine is mine
At night we, sleep tight we
Stay close together 'cos the temperatures down
But baby, says maybe
Each time I try to get my fingers around
Please dont touch her
Sittin with a tentpole, what a bloody jamboree
Listen to our motto, be prepared for ecstasy
Here comes the bride
My baby, goes topless
And brings her beauty to a bottomless day
Shes bathing, al fresco
And all her mystery is there on display
So, dont get too close
Oh shes so fine, and you know whats mine is mine
Ooh its a drag when youre hitched to a dream
And the boys in the gang think shes part of the scenery
Youre never alone and the tension is painful to see
One night i, crept in and,
Got on my knees and tried to make her my wife
One reef knot, two grannies
And we were bound to stay together for life
Now wed like to.......

Shes So Square
Awful plastic boots that come above her ankle
Dayglo mini skirts just like a pop art spangle
Digs vanilla fudge, buys lipstick by the pound
Gets that english look resembles kath mcgowan
Have you seen her hair its a style from heaven
Ah! shes nowhere she thinking this is 1967?
Shes so square shes nowhere
Shes so square shes nowhere
Take her to a disco and screaming lord sutch it!
Everyone must look but nobody must touch
What about her car? e type is the latest
How about the yardbirds? jeff beck is the greatest!!

Ah! shes nowhere she thinking this is 1967?

Tonight Will Be Fine
Sometimes I find I get to thinking of the past.
We swore to each other then that our love would surely last.
You kept right on loving, I went on a fast,
Now I am too thin and your love is too vast.
But I know from your eyes
And I know from your smile
That tonight will be fine,
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while.
I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
Theres only one bed and theres only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.
But I know from your eyes
And I know from your smile
That tonight will be fine,
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while.
Oh sometimes I see her undressing for me,
Shes the soft naked lady love meant her to be
And shes moving her body so brave and so free.
If Ive got to remember thats a fine memory.
And I know from her eyes
And I know from her smile
That tonight will be fine,
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while.

Girl Like Mine
(mathis)
Theres a girl in my life
The best little girl that I could ever find
Her lips are warm when the nights are cold
In the summertime she can make it snow
Shes alright, shes alright
If you want to get a girl thats really fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
Shes alright, shes alright.
You take your girl to a show
You got to stand in line but she says no
You finally get your ticket and you walk in
There shes standing with a silly grin
But not mine, shell stand in line
If you want to get a girl thats truly fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
Cause shes alright, shes alright.
You buy your girl a fancy dress
Thats the only way shell look her best
I give my girl bell-bottom slacks
A big wide belt and shes a gas
Shes alright, shes alright
If you want to get a girl thats really fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
Cause shes alright, shes alright.

If she knew what she wants

If she knew what she wants

But she wants everything

Or theres nothing she wants

Hes crazy for this girl
(but she dont know what shes looking for)
If she knew what she wants
Hed be giving it to her
Giving it to her
Id say her values are corrupted
But shes open to change
Then one day shes satisfied
And the next Ill find her crying
And its nothing she can explain
Some have a style
That they work hard to refine
So they walk a crooked line
But she wont understand
Why anyone would have to try
To walk a line when they could fly
No sense thinking I could rehabilitate her
When shes fine, fine, fine
Shes got so many ideas traveling around in her head
She doesnt need nothing from mine

Im feeling so blue
Im feeling so sad
I just dont understand

And in the midnight
I don t turn off the light
Until the daylight
Well I toss and I turn
And my heart it still burns
til I see her again
Shes my lady, shes my baby, shes my lady
Shes my baby, shes my lady, shes my haby
Shes my lady, now, now, now, now
In the morning I wake
To go get food on my plate
But I just cant eat
And when I go in the cafe
To sit down at my seat
I dont have egg on my face
When it stops and it starts
It just tears me apart
Like a pain in my heart
But its been misunderstood
Somebodys breaking the rules
And Im nobodys fool
Well, well, well
Shes my lady, shes my baby, shes my lady
Shes my baby, shes my lady, shes my baby
Shes my lady, now, now, now, now
When its so high
I can reach for the sky
But when its so low
I got nowhere to go
When it goes wrong
I just dont belong
When it goes right
Its clean out of sight
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Im feeling so glad
Im on top of the world
When I see you again
Well its so true
I been thinking about you
Baby youre my flame
When it goes down
Down on the ground
When it goes down
But when it goes up
It just fills up my cup
When it goes up
Well, well, well

Shes my baby, shes my lady, shes my baby
Shes my lady, now, now, now, now
