Havent You Heard
(j.buckley)
Your wish is my command!
Have you heard this talk about eye contact
Gonna be the downfall of this town.
First the photographs take you to the right hands.
Leads you to the authority mold.
Chorus:
Paranoia will write the world prayer
Make sure that you fit in the right holes
But when you take his offer, youre done for,
Done for, oh!
Phantoms in pockets, were in panic,
Making order in total disgust
Oh, they read a list of all who cannot stay
Take you down, on the ground.
(chorus)
Make sure you learn to beware your neighbor
Bolt the doors and hire your guards
Suck your life with their virus called language
Someone told you this all would go down.
And the last thing you see is the luster,
Hold the razor, goodbye to your friends
Would your underground please call the mayor,
Call the neighbor, call your friends.
(chorus)
Well, when he first saw you, youd need no protection
I train my eyes on your mouth, youll learn to take him.
Hmmm. its a brand new power.
My friends had her questions right
Beware your neighbor
Havent you heard, havent you heard
That were done for. oh.
Learn to beware your neighbor
And the right mode
Havent you heard?
Havent you heard,
That were done for, done for?
When I count down from ten
Youll feel the lead in your lids
Youll have no need to exist
And wake up refreshed
Hah!

Why Havent I Heard From You
(sandy knox, t.w. hale)
Back in 1876 an ol boy named bell
Invented a contraption that we know so well
By the 1950s they were in everybodys home
That crazy little thing they call the telephone
Now theres one on every corner, in the back of every bar
You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane or in your car
Chorus:
So tell me why, havent i, heard from you
Tell me why, havent I heard from you
Darlin, honey, what is your excuse
Why havent I heard from you
Theres no problem gettin to me
Baby you can dial direct
I got call forwarding, call waiting
You can even call collect
The service man he told me that my phone was workin fine
And Ive come to the conclusion the trouble isnt with my line
Im sure the operator will be glad to put you thru
So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you
Repeat chorus
There better been a flood, a landslide of mud
A fire that bruns up the wires
And thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothin about

Havent You Heard
Havent you heard
Daddys gone crazy
Havent you heard momma is gone
Here I stand with my finger on his door bell
My mind goes back to what I did last night
You see I finally talked his wife into leaving him
And I am just here to convince my conscious that its all alright
And I can see my old friend just sitting there staring and his little boys
Crying words are welded in my mind
Havent you heard daddys gone crazy
Havent you heard momma is gone
And either way I am a loser
And Ive been crying all night long mr. havent you heard
Havent you heard daddys gone crazy
Havent you heard momma is gone
And either way I am a loser
And Ive been crying all night long mr. havent you heard

Home In San Antone
Havent got a worry
Havent got a care
I havent got a thing to call my own
Though Im out of money
Im a millionaire
I still have my home in san antone
When I greet my neighbor with a hi yall
Im wealthy as a king upon a throne
You can have your mansion or your cottage small
Ill just take my home in san antone
Traveling around the country
On my merry way
Ive been to crowds and felt I was alone
But when I feel like braggin
I just up and say
Im a native son of san antone
Theres a sweet somebody by the alamo
Someday shes going to be my very own
And well buy a high chair in a year or so
For our little home in san antone

So welcome to the world
Got so much I can tell you baby
So many lessons to learn
Let me tell you what Ive heard
Because people can be cruel
And the world is full of rules
Thats when you need to call me
When the struggle gets you down
And theres no one else around
Thats when you need to call me
Oh youll be strong, you hold on
You will get through it
And when you cant do it

Dont be scared, sing your song
Bring your soul to it

When you feel like hope is gone
Thats when you can call me

The road is long, so keep your faith
When your zero has come

And youll be judged
For who you love

Ill Believe It When I Feel It
Now when you left everybody told me
That Id find another to take the place of you
And they all said someone else would hold me
And Id have a lover to love like I loved you
Chorus:
Ill believe it when I feel it
When somebody makes me feel the way you did
They say hes out there
They tell me someday Ill forget
Ill believe it when I feel it
But I havent felt it yet
Ive heard in time
Time is going to heal me
Its been forever
And I still need you now
Maybe I will someday find that feeling
We had together
Oh but Ive got my doubts

Ill believe it when I felt
But I havent felt it yet

All Night
Written by dewey bunnell, 1979
Found on silent letter and live in central park.
When the day breaks
Something begins
When your heart aches
Do you give in?
I heard that you were lonely
One careful look shows youre lonely
All night youll fight
With your mind, with your mind
After lights out, dont make a sound
Apple blossoms, come fallin down
Black and white sun shining brightly
Shelter your eyes, hold on tightly
All night youll fight
With your mind, with your mind
Love thy neighbor
You will understand
Coffee flavor, yours or any brand
I heard that you were lonely
Nothing is real when youre lonely
All night youll fight
With your mind, with your mind

Hand Me Down
Someday theyll find your small town world on a big town avenue
Gonna make you like the way they talk when theyre talking to you
Gonna make you break out of the shell cause they tell you to
Gonna make you like the way they lie better than the truth
Theyll tell you everything you wanted someone else to say
Theyre gonna break your heart, yeah
[chorus]
From what Ive seen
Youre just a one more hand me down
Cause no ones tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now
Somebody ought to take you in
Try to make you love again
Try to make you like the way they feel
When theyre under your skin
Never once did think theyd lie when theyre holding you
You wonder why they havent called
When they said theyd call you
You start to wonder if youre ever gonna make it by
Youll start to think you were born blind
[chorus]
From what Ive seen
Youre just a one more hand me down
Cause no ones tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now
Im here for the hard times
The straight to your heart times
Whenever it aint easy
You can stand up against me
And maybe rely on me
And cry on me, yeah
Oh no, no, no
Some day theyll open up your world
Shake it down on a drawing board
Do their best to change you
They still cant erase you
[chorus]
From what Ive seen
Youre just a one more hand me down
Cause no ones tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now
Lay them down on me
Oh yeah
Youre just one more hand me down
And all those nots dont give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down...on me

Look in my eyes
What do you see?
Only me
Got nothing to hide
Seek and youll find
Whats on my mind
This happened so fast
Not a part of my plan
So Im leaving my heart in your hands

Havent told you, just how much I love you
Only by dreaming, I show my feelings
Havent told you, just how much I love you
Time for revealing, and I will give you something too
A love from me to you

Look in my eyes
You know me so well
Cant you tell that Im ...
Way in too deep

So catch me now
It happened so fast
Not a part of my plan
Now Im leaving my heart in your hands
Havent told you just how much I love you
Only by dreaming (by dreamin), I show my feelings
Havent told you, just how much I love you baby
Time for revealing, and I will give you you something too
A love from me...

I breathe you...every single moment from the start
I see you...constantly
I feel you...
You moving slow
No letting go
You smile at me
My heart is yours to keep

Youre a transformer man
Power in your hand

So many things still left to do

Every morning when I look in your eyes
I feel electrified by you. oh yes.

Still in command
Your eyes are shining on a beam
Through the galaxy of love
Transformer man, transformer man
Unlock the secrets
Let us throw off the chains that
Hold you down.

Are You Ready For The Fallout?
I was wondering how youre feeling
I thought I saw you kneeling
And holding your gut last night
It looked like you were praying
But I heard someone saying
You had been in an awful fight
You get the worst of it everytime
Lashing out with no reason or rhyme
To lose all this rage, at so tender an age
Little baby growing up in a rat cage
Chorus 1:
Are you ready for the fallout?
Who you gonna call out?
When does it finally come to blows?
I think that youre forgetting
The blood that youll be letting
Has a price on it, no one knows
You may be suffering in your sleep
You may be getting in too deep
And you may not care for advice that I share
In one ear and out the other
Chorus 2:
Soon you will learn how to swallow a tear
So when youre old you can cry in your beer
Do you spit at the face staring back in the mirror?
Do you have any self respect?
Chorus 2
Well what the hell did you expect?
Chorus 1
Are you ready for the fallout?
Who you gonna call out?

Home Of The Brave
Everythings gonna be alright boys, help is on the way
Hold your head up high now, theres no need to cry now
Were not running anymore
Leave the politics behind boys, theyre not working anymore
Theres so much more at stake here, its make or break here
Havent we been here before - tell me what were waiting for
Chorus:
You gotta remember, you dont have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn, and say what you wanna say
You gotta remember, dont let em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
Who sings the song of the people, you dont hear it anymore
I heard it late last summer, to the beat of a different drummer
It never sounded quite like that before
So youre trying to shake this feeling, that troubles right outside the door
You lie awake each dark night, like a time bomb wound up too tight
A storm in waiting, just offshore - tell me what were waiting for

Same Man I Was Before
Im not the same man I was before
I havent changed my perception
I havent lost my protection
I havent lost, havent lost, havent lost
What I have, lost intentions
Two by two coming through the door
(singing like a bird)
Boys and girls voices joined in song
(voices in the air)
Fire crackers making so much noise
(flying in the air)
They all start yelling at me
. . . . . everything you do is wrong
Im not the same boy I was before
But Ive not changed my desires
Ive not extinguished the fires
I havent lost wide eyed wonder
I havent lost, havent lost, havent lost
The stupid fear of thunder
Two by two walking hand in hand
(walkin in the air)
The bone come marching from the promised land
(comes from everywhere)
Their voices carry like the sound of glass
(breaking on the ground)
It burns my ears when they sing
. . . . . everything you do is wrong
Im not the same ghost I was before
But I still converse with the spirits
When people talk I dont hear it
I walk through doors when no one sees me
I disappear, I disappear, disappear
Whenever it may please me

You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must stay on your own for slightly longer

She Means Nothing To Me
Oh well here she comes now oh Im on the run now
Pretending just pretending that I dont see her
Just to teach her but darling how much longer
Can I keep on living this lie
She means nothing to me
She means nothing to me
Im still as free as a bird
Dont care what you heard about me
She means nothing to me no more
Oh shes my world oh not just some girl
Harder its getting harder to fool anyone
Not just her but I act like a man
Shed expect me to
No tears win her respect
Who am I fooling if I cant fool me
Who believes what their eyes dont see
But I keep on lying
She means nothing to me
She means nothing to me
Im still as free as a bird
Dont care what you heard about me
She means nothing to me no more
All my dreams are depending on her
And how good I am at pretending that
She means nothing to me
She means nothing to me (havent you heard)
Im still as free as a bird
Dont care what you heard about me
She means nothing to me no more
She means nothing to me
She means nothing to me (havent you heard)

Dont care what you heard about me

I Think Hes Hiding
If the big boy comes tomorrow
Therell be no more teardrops
Therell be no more sorrow
If the big boy comes tomorrow
Will he take you with him?
Have you been good?
Have you been bad?
If you havent lived the way you should
Youll wish you had
When the big boy brings his fiery furnace
Will he like what he sees
Or will he strike the fire and burn us?
Oh, hes so great
And hes so straight
And you know hes watching
Have you been good?
Have you been bad?
If you havent lived the way you should
Youll wish you had

Come and save us
Come and look at what weve done
With what you gave us

So many voices tried to speak as one
Whatcha doing right, whatcha doing wrong

You took it hard, you shook it down
But maybe this time, like no ther time

At the speed of sound, nothing more was heard
In a flash of fire that left behind no smoke
What was once too bright is now as dark as night

Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw

A [f] tongue can accuse and carry bad [c] news

But [f] unless youve made no mistakes in your [c] life
Be careful of [g7] stones that you [c] throw.

[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.
