Sweetums lay your ugly head
Down upon your wretched bed
Swetums is so nice and cute
Go to sleep, you hulking brute
Doc Bruce Banner
Belted by gamma rays
Turned into the Hulk
Ain’t he unglamo-rays!
Wreckin’ the town
With the power of a bull
Ain’t no monster clown
Who is as lovable
As ever-lovin’ Hulk!
HULK! HULK!
You’ll be back, like before
I will fight the fight and win the war
For your love, for your praise
And I’ll love you til my dying days
When you’re gone, I’ll go mad
So don’t throw away this thing we had
Cuz when push comes to shove
I will kill your friends and family…
To remind you of my love
(For your love) I give you everything and more, and that’s for sure
(For your love) I bring you diamond rings and things right to your door
(For your love) To thrill you with delight
I give you diamonds bright
There’ll be days that will excite
They’ll make you dream of me at night
For your love
For your love
For your love
There’s a stranger on the hill
He’s walking alone out in the rain
There’s a stranger on the hill
He’s miles away from everything sane
This - this is the death
This is the death of a diamond
This - this is the end
The end for a diamond
Inside you’re burning, I can see clear through
Your eyes tell more than you mean them to
Lit up and flashing, like the reds and blues
Out there on the neon avenue
Feel like a stranger
Feel like, feel like a stranger
The red-headed stranger from Blue Rock, Montana,
Rode into town one day.
And under his knees was a ragin’ black stallion,
And walkin’ behind was a bay.
The red-headed stranger had eyes like the thunder,
And his lips, they were sad and tight.
His little lost love lay asleep on the hillside,
And his heart was heavy as night
Green-eyed lady, windswept lady
Moves the night, the waves, the sand
Green-eyed lady, lovely lady
Child of nature, friend of man
Green-eyed lady, passion’s lady
Dressed in love, she lives for life to be
Green-eyed lady feels life I never see
Setting suns and lonely lovers free
Gone are the days when the ox fall down
Take up the yoke and plow the fields around
Gone are the days when the ladies said, “Please
Gentle Jack Jones, won’t you come to me?”
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin’ down
And it looks like the old man’s gettin’ on
So hard to find my way
Now that I’m all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I’m overcome thinking 'bout it
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
The fawn-eyed girl with sun-browned legs
Dances on the edge of his dream
And her voice rings in his ears
Like the music of the spheres
The boy lies in the grass, unmoving
Staring at the sky
His mother starts to call him
As a hawk goes soaring by
The boy pulls down his baseball cap
And covers up his eyes
Off in the distance, the game’s dragging on
There’s strikes on the batter; some runners are on
I don’t know the inning; I’ve forgotten the score
The whole team is yelling, and I don’t know what for
Then suddenly, everyone’s looking at me
My mind has been wandering; what could it be?
They point to the sky, and I look up above
And a baseball falls into my glove!
And when the game was over
The coach asked him to tell
What was it he was thinkin’ of
That made him play so well
“You knew my dad was blind,” he said
“Tonight he passed away”
“It’s the first time that my father’s seen me play”
Time to play the game
Time to play the game
It’s all about the game
And how you play it
All about control
And if you can take it
It’s all about your debt
And if you can pay it
It’s all about pain
And who’s gonna make it
We’re talkin’ softball
From Maine to San Diego
Talkin’ softball
Mattingly and Canseco
Ken Griffey’s grotesquely swollen jaw
Steve Sax and his run-in with the law
We’re talkin’ Homer…
Ozzie, and the Straw
It was crickets, minnows and kerosene
RC, moon pies and a softball team
Learned about life
Learned about girls
Learned about livin’ in this cold, cruel world
It’s where you bought your tag for your white-tailed deer
Where the southern baptist bought the most beer
A hole in the wall with holes in the wall
From behind this counter you saw it all
At the Cold Spot
It was a hot Sunday mornin’
Middle of July
The choir was a singin’
'Bout the sweet by and by
Everybody was a swayin’
And sweatin’ in the heat
We all bowed our heads down
As the preacher took his seat
My sister and my brother stood next to my mother
In the quiet at the close of the verse
That’s when daddy cut the big one
At the Horn Lake Mississippi Missionary Baptist Church
Summertime in Virginia was a oven (oven)
All the kids eating ice cream with their cousins (cousins)
I was studyin’ while you was playing the dozens (dozens)
Don’t act like you was there when you wasn’t
Runnin’ from the man (man) runnin’ from the badge (badge)
Don’t act like you was there when you wasn’t
Runnin’ toward our plans (plans) and the judges hands (hands)
Don’t act like you was there when you wasn’t
It was a hot summer night, and the beach was burning
There was fog crawling over the sand
Oh, when I listen to your heart, I hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars falling through your trembling hands
Ah, you were licking your lips, and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
Oh, we were lying together in a silver lining
By the the light of the moon, you know there’s not another moment
Not another moment, not another moment to waste
Don’t you know that you are a shooting star
Don’t you know, ahhh
Don’t you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleepin’ tablets by his head
Johnny’s life passed him by like a warm summer day
