Mother Of Pearl
(ferry)
Turn the lights down
Way down low
Turn up the music
Hi as fi can go
All the gangs here
Everyone you know
Its a crazy scene
Hey there just look over your shoulder
Get the picture?
No no no no .......(yes)
Walk a tightrope
Your life-sign-line
Such a bright hope
Right place, right time
Whats your number?
Never you mind
Take a powder
But hang on a minute whats coming round the corner?
Have you a future?
No no no no .......(yes)
Well ive been up all night again
Party-time wasting is too much fun
Then I step back thinking
Of lifes inner meaning
And my latest fling
Its the same old story
All love and glory
Its a pantomime
If youre looking for love
In a looking glass world
Its pretty hard to find
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldnt trade you
For another girl
Divine intervention
Always my intention
So I take my time
Ive been looking for something
Ive always wanted
But was never mine
But now Ive seen that something
Just out of reach - glowing -
Very holy grail
Oh mother of pearl
Lustrous lady
Of a sacred world
Thus: even zarathustra
Another-time-loser
Could believe in you
With every goddess a let down
Every idol a bring down
It gets you down
But the search for perfection
Your own predilection
Goes on and on and on and on
Canadian club love
A place in the country
Everyones ideal
But you are my favorita
And a place in your heart dear
Makes me feel more real
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldnt change you
For the whole world
Youre highbrow, holy
With lots of soul
Melancholy shimmering
Serpentine sleekness
Was always my weakness
Like a simple tune
But no dilettante
Filigree fancy
Beats the plastic you
Career girl cover
Exposed and another
Slips right into-view
Oh looking for love
In a looking glass world
Is pretty hard for you
Few throwaway kisses
The boomerang misses
Spin round and round
Fall on featherbed quilted
Faced with silk
Softly stuffed eider down
Take refuge in pleasure
Just give me your future
Well forget your past
Oh mother of pearl
Submarine lover
In a shrinking world
Oh lonely dreamer
Your choker provokes
A picture cameo
Oh mother of pearl
So so semi-precious
In your detached world
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldnt trade you
For another girl

World Party
Well its got nothing to do with anything that is real
You just believe in it and its true
You can sooth like an angel or sigh like a saint
You can dream it and see it through
You will live to see a sea of lights
Sparking on the face of a pearl
Climb your own peak
Find a new streak
Get yourself along to the world party (party!)
Now youve been building for yourself a cool place in the sand
Youre thinking that its mighty fine
Youve got dust in your eyeballs, you got mud in your mouth
But its your head, it aint mine
Ive got a madman of my own to contend with
Cursing in the cave of my skull
Turn the other cheek
Find a new streak
Get yourself along to the world party (party!)
Well I heard a rumour of a golden age
Somewhere back along the line
Maybe I dreamed it in a whisper or
Heard it in a spell
It was something to do with the sign of the times
And the only thing that I remember
Is a summer like a pretty girl
Who shimmers and shines
Moving in time
Shaking to the beat of the heart of the world
Party (party! party! party! party! party! party! party! party! party!)

Is marriage inevitable?
Meena-
I loved her.
She was more than an angel.
I married her.
She was less than a devil.
Beena-
She was the mother of pearl.
Someone married.
She is still to me a pearl
or more than a mother of pearl.
Marriage-
Is it a death knell to love?
Love-
Is it alive like a mirage?

If I Could Fall In Love
When I was young
I fell in love
She was a goddess
With a world inside of her mind
When she moved on
Something went wrong
She took my power
And the love I had inside
Now that I found you
I don't know how to
If I could fall
In love again
I'd fall in love with you
If I could change
A grain of sand
Into a pearl I would
I pray in time
I'll come to find
Away to break through
And save this heart of mine
You've waited long
If you can't hold on
I wouldn't blame you
I don't think I'd be that strong
What am I to do
If I can't have you
If I could fall
In love again
I'd fall in love with you
If I could change
A grain of sand
Into a pearl I would
You love me so
Even though I don't know
How do you deal
With a man like me
If I could fall
In love again
I'd fall in love with you
If I could change
A grain of sand
Into a pearl I would
I would

5446 Thats My Number/ball & Chain
Do you believe I would take such a thing with me, and give it to a police man?
I wouldnt do that, mmhmm, I wouldnt do that
If I did that would you say
Sir come down and put the charge on me?
I wouldnt do that, oohhh, I wouldnt do that
Im not a fool to hurt myself,
But I was innocent to what they done to me.
They were wrong, they were wrong
But give it to me one time (ohh give it to me,yeah!)
Give it to me - two times (1, 2)
Give it to me three times (1, 2, 3)
Give it to me four times (1, 2, 3, 4)
Oh, 5446, was my number
Whats my number now?
Right now somebody else has that number
(one more time)
5447 was my number
Whats my number now?
Right now somebody else has that number
(some french words that brad made up probably)
cuz were chillin and were chillin in the club all night,
Were chillin and were chillin in the club all night,
Hear the dub, hear the beat, in the dog pound,
Dj, lord have his grilled cheese
Some jealous punk,
Snuck up around my back,
Tried to take a lovin over me;
Lord I got into a fist fight,
And wound up in jail all night
Give it to me one time (ohh yes, ooh my pussy)
Give it to me - two times (1, 2)
Give it to me three times (1, 2, 3)
Give it to me four times (1, 2, 3, 4)
People listen up
Dont stand too near Ive got somthin
That you all should hear
All lies all the lies they told to me
Form a little part of history
I was always taught that boy meets girl,
Fall in love get married and forget the world.
Nine months later sweet babys on the way
Kiss em on the cheek and lifes okay
I dont feel no pain
I dont have no time
To listen to conflicting points of view, oh.
Its a crazy world to live alone.
A ball and chain I call my own;
A ba na na na na whooo
People listen up dont stand too close,
Ive got somethin that you all should know:
Holy matrimony is not for me,
Id rather die alone in misery
Cuz I was always taught that boy meets girl,
Fall in love get married and forget the world,
Nine months later sweet babys on the way.
Isnt that what they used to say?
With a girl you knew,
And the bonds that we grew,
Turned into a ball and chain, mmm.
I step into the great unknown.
And a ball and chain I call my home;
A-ba-na-na-na-na, whooo
Crazy world to live alone
With a girl that you knew
And the bonds that we grew
Turned into a ball and chain, ohh
I step into the great unknown,
And a ball and cahin I call my own,
Because marriage doesnt work in the world today,
Its an institution that is in decay
And if I have love I wish to portray,
I will surley find another way
Because I was always taught that boy meets girl,
Fall in love get married and forget the world
Nine months later the sweet babys on the way
Kiss him on the cheek and lifes okay
I dont feel no pain
I dont have no time to listen
To conflicting points of view whoa
I step into the great unknown
With a ball and chain I call my own;
A-ba-na-na-na-na whoooo

This Girl
I want so badly to be part of her world.
She's more precious than an ocean pearl.
I wish I could tell her how I feel.
I wish I could really let her know the deal.
If only we had the time to chill.
Where did this girl come from.
And they say nothing good is at fort drum.
If they dont see what Im seeing then they're just dumb.
What is it about this girl.
Is it her smile thats so cencer and loud.
Is it her talk or the attitude in her walk.
A girl like this is hard to find.
You could still she her beauty if you were blind.
Man this girl really blows my mind.
I wanna make this girl mine.
This girl leaves me guessin.
I feel like this girl is a blessin.
So badly I want her to be part of my world.
Yet Im still asking why This Girl.

The Peril of Her Pearl
In the center of her breast a dangerous pearl found its nest.
A myriad of wondrous color it changes her mood with mighty vigor.
In love it's a pale tint of pinkish white,
In hate it's a ebony lavender tainted night.
Streaming vibrantly, fervidly through her veins
Its substance burns until control it obtains;
She touches it and with vivacious forces her pearl coerces
Her simple mind, her innocent love-
Which God gave her from his angels above.
The pearl; it's the dangerous peril
Of a innocent girl.
Those temptations allure assail her innocent demure.
So lust she must and her pearl turn to dust,
The peril of her pearl of an infatuated girl.

Love Or Money
Verse1:
You might be a small town boy
But your livin large in my world
When you wrap your love around me,
You know Im your number one girl
Traveled across the sea
But it didnt mean that much to me
Youre the star that makes me shine
No matter where my heart may be
Do you need to know
Anything more than this?
Chorus:
I wouldnt leave you for love
Wouldnt leave you for money
Wouldnt leave you for anything in this world honey
Wouldnt do it for diamonds
Wouldnt do it for gold
Baby next to your lovin, they just leave me cold
Verse2:
A millionaire from london
Tried to sweep me off my feet
A lear jet, a fancy car,
But still you got them beat
If valentino courted me
To marry him in rome
It might be tempting,
But you know Id rather stay home with you
cause youre still the one
Who makes me feel like a queen
Chorus
Breakdown:
Would you do it for love? ( wouldnt do it for love! )
Would you do it for money? ( wouldnt do it for money! )
Would you do it for love? ( wouldnt do it for love! )
Or what? ( nothin in the world honey! )
Verse3:
Ill never let you go!
Do I need to know any more than this!? !

Dear Gre Pearl Gay
Dear Gre Pearl Gay,
I swear from this day forward
To think positive things only.
I'll do everything to make you proud.
Tha fact is I'm afraid to lose you.
It's too hard for me without you.
I'm sorry for the lack of trust
And that's the time when you need me most.
Dear Gre Pearl Gay,
It's not my intention to hurt you.
Please, I don't want you to cry.
All I wish in this world is to be with you.
You're right to say that I'm weak,
Yet I'm not sticks and stones that will break.
You're the reasons why I'm strong and out of blue
'Cause the love I have for you is always true.

Who are these people?
Who are these people? where are they streaming? Glass eyes tight shut as though they were dreaming?
Garrotted, throats slit as a token of sacrifice to the eternel god's,
Bodies cast down to the depth's of brooding pete bogs.
'Did you surrender yourself, your will to the ritual, Or be this simply a punishment for a crime, we shall never know.'
Sword's split skull's, not hard enough to kill
Just to lull, least drag their victims senses into the void.
Calling on the Goddess of spring through to autumn, of summer's sun and winter rain
Only your head, throne of the soul survives the passage of time to breathe again.
'From where did you come? ' ask's the child to his mother
'From my mother, her mother before her'
'So where does my father fit into this, what seem's such simple a matter? '
'He work's his hand's to the bone, then come's home late, wait's at the table just to get fatter.
That's what he does, he seems happy enough, he has no illusions to shatter'
'What off my father, from wence doth he stem, from his father and father before? '
'Nay, It goes way further than that, to back when, our only mother was the mother of yore
Mother of earth, blessed mother of pearl, reveal to us the wisdom's with which you blanket the world.

Bend In The Water
Come on pearl, come on kitty, if you feel inclined
Down around the bend in the water, bring your fishin line
Come on pearl, Im rough and ready, got my fishin pole
Down around the bend in the water to the fishin hole
Its a fine july on a beautiful night
With a heavenly sky and moonlight on the bay
Down around the bend in the water, if you feel inclined
Come on pearl, come on kitty, Im gonna make you mine
All around the world tonight
What a beautiful scene below
Too fine a time to stand in line
Im gonna take my love to go
Its a fine july and a beautiful way
For a boy and a girl to pass the time of day
Come on pearl, come on kitty, if you feel inclined
Down around the bend in the water, bring your fishin line
All around the world tonight
What a beautiful sight below
Too fine a time to stand in line
Im gonna take my love to go
Its a fine july on a beautiful light
With a heavenly sky and moonlight on the bay
Down around the bend in the water, if you feel inclined
Come on pearl, come on kitty, bring your fishin line
Come on pearl, Im rough and ready, got my fishin pole
Down around the bend in the water to the fishin hole

Solar Family
Behold!
Oh round, mother-of-pearl,
There is your radiance upon my eyes
And the reflection of your untarnished waters
Forsooth!
There is a daughter
High up in the night like hidden gems
Until you shine the day and she smiles in pale pearl
And Look!
There is a sister and a cousin
Dashing madly 'round the father of them all
Laughing in the spaces between the sunset and dawn
And There!
Look upon their flanks
Scrambling like a parasite of sin
There is the future, will it grow up in the shadows or the light?

Find Another Girl
Find yourself another girl who will love you true true true.
Find yourself another girl save all her love and kisses just for you [x2]
The very first time I fell in love got my heart broken then people would say when I passed their way
"Theres a hot young man going there going there"
"An unhappy lad going there."
Well one day my mother called me to here side said son "why you so blue".
"Mother I lost the girl that I love why wont you tell me what to do"
Mother wont you tell me what to do?
Well she said find yourself another girl who will love you true true true find yourself another girl.
Save all her love and kisses just for you [x2]
I can imagine how you feel my son but throw it out of your mind I'm gonna tell kinda truthfully
True love is hard to find sometimes its kinda hard to find.
But forget about that girl that broke your heart and try start a new
For if there was a guy for her theres got to be a girl somewhere for you [x2]
You just go on and find yourself another girl who will love you true true true.
Find yourself another girl save all her love and kisses just for you [x2]
Save all her love for no one but you. Ohh another love [x3]
Save her love and kissses just for you.

The Wrong Girl
You got a great apartment an' a real nice car.
The job you always wanted; you're gonna go far.
You got everything you need in this world,
But you got the wrong girl.
Everybody's lookin' 'cause you look so hot.
You don't know it yet, but I know what you got.
Go ahead an' give it a whirl,
But you got the wrong girl.
If you're lookin' for love, you're lookin' too hard.
You can't see that what you need is right in your backyard.
You were blinded by diamonds an' you missed a pearl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
Instrumental break.
Does she like fishin'?
Four wheelin' in the woods?
Will she get her hands greasy up underneath the hood?
I bet she never listens to Merle:
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
If you're lookin' for love, you're lookin' too hard.
You can't see that what you need is right in your backyard.
You were blinded by diamonds an' you missed a pearl.
You got the wrong girl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
You got the wrong girl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.

Little Boy
Little boy , with your smile so pretty now
What are you doing in my town
Little boy , do you have a mother now
And are you planning on settling down
Do you know , when your head grows grey
Will you feel the same as you did before
Cos when your old and grey
Youll still feel the way you do today
And nothings gonna change
Little boy , now youre growing older
Youll need a shoulder to guide you through
And you find when you fall in love
You know youll cry just the way that I do
Dont you know theres a little girl to love
Thats what makes the world go round
But when youre old and grey
Youll still think the way you do today
And nothings gonna change
Little boy , with your face so pretty now
What are you doing in my town
Little boy , do you have a mother now
Are you planning on settling down ....

My Mother.
My Mother,
is the best in the world.
My Mother,
she gave me a world.
My Mother,
always pretty, sometimes sweet.
My Mother,
gave her all, and not once
did she fall.
My Mother,
growing old and gray,
is still as beautiful,
as the sun's bright rays.
My Mother,
will never leave my heart,
always been there,
from the start.
My Mother,
I shall never forget.
Because her name is written,
in fine print, over my heart.

The Pearl Of Guilt
Shame and Pain
fall down like rain
drenching the soul of another Insane
Falling, bawling
the girl once did
screams in the night is when she ran and hid
Wallowing, swallowing
the guilt and the tears
is something she did for all of her years
Quiet, muffled
oh are her words
disturbing they were, but they only were hers
Gone, past
alone in this world
she could not dream of even a single pearl
Over, finished
was the girl
hopefully she reached her shiny pearl
