Weak 03:24
She said I’m gonna leave that guy, I’m gonna leave that guy, I’m gonna leave that guy for sure, But not while I feel so weak, God damn I feel so weak. When he came home he hit and he bit her, and he hit her some more, Took all her money, said baby, honey, I need this to go out and score, ‘cos you’re so weak She said I’ve got to leave that guy, I’ve got to leave that guy, I’ve got to leave him for sure, I got to leave him yeah, I got to leave him, I got to leave him but only I feel so weak, right now I feel so weak. He came home and he hit her and he bit her and he hit her some more, Took all her money, said baby, honey, I need this to go out and score, Took all her money, said baby, honey, I need this to go out and score, And she said, I’m gonna leave that guy, I’m gonna leave him for sure, I’m gonna burn him now, I’m gonna burn him now, gonna walk out the door, Now I’m not weak anymore, no I’m not weak anymore.

The Moon put a shadow long and still upon Mockingbird Hill And her dreaming eyes green drew him in closer still And their lips touched in the cold night air, holding hands against the chill And their lips touched in the cold night air on Mockingbird Hill. He whispered, ‘ I love you’ And the light shone from her eyes, she looked at him and said, ‘ Yeah baby, I love you too’ And the breeze on the leaves hid the steps moving in closer still And a moth hit the lights and the shadows flickered closer still While their lips pressed together holding tight against the night air chill And the flickering shadows leapt and danced atop Mockingbird Hill And the creeping shadows stopped their breath and made their hearts cold still And they put out the light from her eyes on Mockingbird Hill.

Gold! 03:01
Gold When even the lowly beasts of the soil where against us.. - I found gold And a Hell’s plague of monkeys and rats ripped us and bit us.. - I found gold And the flies fell upon us fed on the blood they sucked from us.. - I found gold Pissed out blood from our cocks from wounds the fish tore inside us.. - I found gold Chorus Pulled our bones from the fires the cannibals had set for us.. - I found gold From their pots we escaped then headhunters came upon us.. - I found gold And Pygmy blow piped darts rained poisoned upon us - I found gold And a Hell’s plague of monkeys and rats ripped us and bit us.. - I found gold Chorus To home with the yellow dust A lynch mob before us.. - I found gold To steal our blood gotten gain From the dirt there beneath us.. - I found gold Down in the mud and the blood gleaming Yellow shine dust .. - I found gold And like a hell’s plague o’ monkeys and rats ripped us and killed us.. - I found gold

Lazy Town 03:37
The sun comes up, and the sun goes down, It makes no difference to the folks, in my lazy town I’ll tell you a story, about my lazy town, You’ve never seen how slow some folks can move around. I went to the barbers shop to fix up my hair, It took them all day long to cut a bald man’s hair. The sun comes up, and the sun goes down, It makes no difference to the folks, in my lazy town There’s one thing that bothers me and I don’t understand I’d like you to explain to me, if you can If a dead man can up and walk again and a blind man gets to see Tell me, what keeps these people alive? Yeah, tell me. The sun comes up, and the sun goes down, It makes no difference to the folks, in my lazy town I’ll tell you a story of my lazy town you ain’t seen how slow those folks do move around I’ll tell you a story of my lazy town you ain’t seen anything as slow as those folks shuffling around.

“Oh, will you forsake your house carpenter and go along with me? I’ll take you to where the grass grows green, to the banks of the salt, salt sea.” “Well, if I should forsake my house carpenter and go along with thee, What have you got to maintain me on and keep me from poverty?” “Six ships, six ships all out on the sea, seven more upon dry land, One hundred and ten all brave sailor men will be at your command.” She picked up her own wee babe, kisses gave him three, Said “Stay right here with my house carpenter and keep him good company. Then she putted on her rich attire, so glorious to behold. And as she trod along her way, she shown like the glittering gold. Well, they’d not been gone but about two weeks, I know it was not three. When this fair lady began to weep, she wept most bitterly. “I do not weep for my house carpenter or for any golden store. I do weep for my own wee babe, who never I shall see anymore.” Well, they’d not been gone but about three weeks, I’m sure it was not four. Our gallant ship sprang a leak and sank, never to rise anymore. One time around spun our gallant ship, two times around spun she, Three times around spun our gallant ship and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Do Right 05:21
You better do right, you got to do right, you better do right, You better do right, turned inside out, you got to do right, you’re injured now, you better do right. The wound in your head began to heal but it opened again when you failed But that’s all right and that’s just fine, everything’s good in paradise Turned inside out, you’re injured now, you better do right The wound in your head began to heal but it opened again when you failed But that’s all right and that’s just fine, everything’s good in paradise Turned inside out, you’re injured now, you better do right And when he sings the Angels spread their wings and fly And when he cries they turn their heads, he makes them die You better do right, you got to do right, you better do right, The wound in your head began to heal but it opened again when you failed Turned inside out, you’re injured now, you better do right And when he sings the Angels spread their wings and fly And when he cries they turn their heads, he makes them die You better do right, you got to do right, you better do right, The wound in your head began to heal but it opened again when you failed And when he sings the Angels spread their wings and fly And when he cries they turn their heads, he makes them die, And when he sings the Angels spread their wings and fly And when he cries they turn their heads, he makes them die
