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

A minute later i got the operator
Saying please hang up and place

My line
When i dial my baby's number

Mr. telephone man,

Situation blowing my mind
Oh, i just can't take this anymore
Please operator
See what you can do,
I dialed the right number
But i still couldn't get through
Could you just check the line
Just one more time if you can
I'm pretty sure her phone
Wouldn't be answered by no man

There's something wrong with
My line
When i dial my baby's number

Mr. telephone man,
Soemthing's wrong with my line

Help me out

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!

You Just Havent Earned It Yet, Baby
If youre wondering why
All the love that you long for eludes you
And people are rude and cruel to you
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You just havent earned it, son
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
You just havent earned it yet, baby
And Im telling you now ...
If youre wondering why
When all I wanted from life was to be famous
I have tried for so long, its all gone wrong
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
But you wouldnt believe me
You just havent earned it yet, baby

You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
You just havent earned it yet, baby
And Im telling you now ...
Ill tell you why
Ill tell you why
Today I am remembering the time
When they pulled me back
And held me down
And looked me in the eyes and said
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You just havent earned it, my son
You just havent earned it yet, baby
You must stay on your own for slightly longer
You just havent earned it yet baby
And Im telling you now ...
You just havent earned it yet, baby
Oh ...

The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
This here is the place I will be staying
There isnt a number. you can call the pay phone
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time
If I dont pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more
If I dont pick up, pick up. the sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil
(chorus)
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
There are scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat, baby, trying to wake up,
But this machine can only swallow money
You cant lay a patch by computer design
Its just a lot of stupid, stupid signs
Tell her,
Tell her she can kiss my ass, then laugh and say that you were only kidding
That way shell know that its really, really, really, really me, me
(repeat chorus)
Baby, instant soup doesnt really grab me
Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial
A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some nescafe and ice,
A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading of doctor seuss
(repeat chorus)
The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way,
Always had a smile and a reason to pretend
But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream
The sidewinder sleeps on his back
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her
I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her

Yo I'm in the booth I'mma call you right back
Nah I just gotta put this one part down I'mma call you back

[Intro]
Everytime I was in L.A. I was with my ex-girlfriend
Everytime you called I told you,
"Baby I'm workin." (No!)
I was out doin my dirt (Oh!)
Wasn't thinkin' 'bout you gettin' hurt
(I) was hand in hand in the Beverly Center like man
Not givin' a damn who sees me
So gone (I know)
So wrong (Just listen)
Thinkin' I got it and left you sittin' at home
Thinkin' about me
Bein' a good girl that you are
But you prolly believe you got a good man
I man that never would do the things I'm about to tell you I've done
Brace yourself
It ain't good
But it would be even worse if you heard this from somebody else (oh no)

Hes Got A Secret
(v. peterson)
Susanna
Oh, there he goes
Everybodys watching
Everybody knows
Somethings going on
It certainly shows
When hes got a secret for you
Its there when he walks
Its there when he smiles
He kisses your cheek
And disappears for a while
Nothing in the worlds
Gonna cramp his style
If only he could keep it from you
Oh, I dont believe that
You havent seen by now (seen by now)
Dont look at me
cause Ill never tell
Dont you ever wonder
Why the phone always rings (phone always rings)
Seven-thirty-one
Every evening (every evening)
Doesnt it upset you
When you call his name
And he doesnt pay attention to you.
Oh, I dont believe that
You havent seen by now (seen by now)
Dont look at me
cause Ill never tell
Dont know the places he goes
Dont know the people he knows
Dont you understand
Its out of your hands
Oh i, dont believe that
You havent seen by now (seen by now)
Dont look at me
cause Ill never tell

Send It
The sun still shines way up above
But it dont matter now because
The dream is gone
The dream is just a memory (oh, yeah)
If you see my dream, send it back home to me.
The stars still glow up in the night
But somehow, they dont seem so bright
The dream is gone
The dream is just a memory (oh, yeah)
If you see my dream, send it back home to me.
cos Ive been waiting for a long, long time
Thought Id found a way
Now I just wait for someone to call
Im waiting for it every day.
Chorus:
Send it -- on the wires
Send it -- on a plane
Send it -- on an express
But send it back to me again.
The music plays so loud and clear
But somehow I cant make you hear
The dream is gone
The dream is just a memory (oh, yeah)
If you see my dream, send it back home to me.
When you get what you want, its a long way down
And you can see for miles around
When you lose it, nothing is for real
If you see my dream, send it back to me.
Repeat chorus
Repeat chorus
Send it (send it, send it)
Send it
Send it (send it, send it)
Send it on the wires (send it, send it)
Send it on a plane...

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

I Can Still Make Cheyenne
Her telephone rang bout a quarter to nine
She heard his voice on the other end of the line
She wondered what was wrong this time
She never knew what his calls might bring
With a cowboy like him it could be anything
And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind.
He said, its cold out here and Im all alone,
I didnt make the short go again and Im coming home.
I know Ive been away too long.
I never got a chance to write or call
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
But Ill be home soon and honey is there something wrong?
Chorus:
She said, dont bother comin home.
By the time you get here Ill be long gone.
Theres somebody new and he sure aint no rodeo man.
He said, Im sorry its come down to this.
Theres so much about you that Im gonna miss.
But its alright baby, if I hurry I can still make cheyenne.
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make cheyenne.
He left that phone danglin off the hook
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
Then he just walked away
He aimed his truck toward that wyoming line
With a little luck he could still get there in time
And in that cheyenne wind he could still hear her say.
Repeat chorus
