[I’m tired and in need of a quick nap, so here we go with the obvious…]

Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah  
Some call me the gangster of love  
Some people call me Maurice  
'Cause I speak of the pompatus of love

People talk about me, baby  
Say I’m doin’ you wrong, doin’ you wrong  
Well, don’t you worry, baby, don’t worry  
'Cause I’m right here, right here, right here, right here at home

‘Cause I’m a picker, I’m a grinner  
I’m a lover and I’m a sinner  
I play my music in the sun  
I’m a joker, I’m a smoker  
I’m a midnight toker  
I get my lovin’ on the run  
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo

One toke over the line sweet Jesus  
One toke over the line  
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station  
One toke over the line

Awaitin’ for the train that goes home, sweet Mary  
Hopin’ that the train is on time  
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station  
One toke over the line

Whoooo do you love, I hope it’s me  
I’ve been a changin’, as you can plainly see  
I felt the joy and I learned about the pain that my momma said  
If I should choose to make a part of me, surely strike me dead  
Now I’m one toke over the line sweet Jesus  
One toke over the line  
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station  
One toke over the line  
I’m waitin’ for the train that goes home sweet Mary  
Hopin’ that the train is on time  
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station  
One toke over the line

Buy a broom, buy a broom broom  
Buy a broom, buy a broom  
Won’t you buy of this wandering Bavarian a broom  
Twill keep off the flies, that come to annoy you  
You’ll find it quite useful by night and by day

Nice car  
Ah, I love those Bavarians  
So meticulous  
Y’know I remember when things were a lot more fun around here  
When good was good and evil was evil  
Before things got so fuzzy

Mocked by man to depths of shame  
Little girl with life ahead  
For a memory of one kind word  
She would stay among the beasts  
Time for one more daring dream  
Before her escape, edenbeam  
We kill with her own loving heart

Eva flies away  
Dreams the world far away  
In this cruel children’s game  
There’s no friend to call her name  
Eva sails away  
Dreams the world far away  
The Good in her will be my sunflower field

Sittin’ in the morning sun  
I’ll be sittin’ when the evening comes  
Watching the ships roll in  
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay  
Watchin’ the tide roll away, ooh  
I’m just sittin’ on the dock of the bay  
Wastin’ time

In the slipstream, of thoughtless thoughts  
The light of all that’s good, the light of all that’s true  
To the fringes gladly, I walk unadored  
With gods and their creations  
With filth and disease  
Porcelina, she waits for me there  
With seashell hissing lullabies  
And whispers fathomed deep inside my own  
Hidden thoughts and alibis  
My secret thoughts come alive

Without a care in this whole world  
Without a care in this whole world  
Without a care in this life  
It’s what you take that makes it right

And in my mind I’m everyone  
In my mind I’m everyone  
In my mind I’m every one of you  
You make it right  
It’s all alright  
You make it right

Porcelina of the ocean’s blue

Do you like it? Can you see I made it just for you  
Built a world beneath this star and sprinkled it with dew  
The light’s a little red because the sun’s a little small  
But I had to make a miracle so we could meet at all

I’ll build a stairway to Paradise  
With a new step ev’ry day !  
I’m gonna get there at any price;  
Stand aside, I’m on my way !  
I’ve got the blues  
And up above it’s so fair.  
Shoes ! Go on and carry me there !  
I’ll build a stairway to Paradise  
With a new step ev’ry day.

Flintstones. Meet the Flintstones.  
They’re the modern stone age family.  
From the town of Bedrock,  
They’re a page right out of history.

Let’s ride with the family down the street.  
Through the courtesy of Fred’s two feet.

When you’re with the Flintstones  
you’ll have a yabba dabba doo time.  
A dabba doo time.  
You’ll have a gay old time.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas  
Let your heart be light  
From now on  
Our troubles will be out of sight (my Lord)

Have yourself a merry little Christmas  
Make the Yuletide gay  
From now on  
Our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days  
Happy golden days of yore  
Faithful friends who are dear to us  
Gather near to us once more

And I don’t remember crying,  
And I can’t recall your touch.  
Cause I’d never be so stupid  
As to open up so much.  
Did I really say I need you?  
No, the words just don’t ring true  
Cause I don’t remember talking  
And I don’t remember laughing  
And I don’t remember wanting  
And I don’t remember needing  
I do not remember April  
I do not remember Tuesday  
And I don’t remember Christmas  
And I don’t remember you.

Treat Her Gently  
Treat Her Kind  
She Doesn’t Even Know Her Own Mind

Treat Her Simply  
Take It Slow  
Make It Easy  
And Let Her Know  
You’ll Never Find Another Way

Here We Sit  
Two Lonely Old People  
Ekeing Our Lives Away

Bit By Bit  
Two Lonely Old People  
Keeping The Time Of Day
