Slant Six Valiant

Posted on January 16, 2010 by TK Major

It was brown and it was dusty
had a funky vinyl roof
It was humble it was trusty
and I think that it was true
Even old and rusty it proved
they don’t make em like they used to do

Slant Six Valiant
hard top bench seat radio and four doors
Slant six valiant
best little car from detroit in ’74
Slant Six valliant
quarter million miles and ready for some more
Slant six valiant
best little car from detroit in ’74

I Married a Zombie Princess Voodoo Queen

I married a zombie princess voodoo queen
I knew there’d be trouble
but my gawd my in-laws are the worst I’ve seen
they just sit around the crib
and eat my food
and watch TV
and I’m never alone
with my zombie princess voodoo queen

The moon is full I hear the drums
and my blood runs cold
it’s my brother in law and his drunken friends
in his beat up ford
In a second they’ll come in and throw themselves down
in front of the box
next it’s the fridge
and then my liquor and finally my pot

I married a zombie princess voodoo queen

Bristol, Don’t Go

Bristol, Don’t Go

There was a time when I knew everything
just about a year ago
there was a time when you wore my ring
and now it’s lyin’ there in the snow)

I thought it would always be you and me
and I thought it could always be so
I thought tomorrows were all just like today
but, now, Bristol, babe, I just don’t know

ch:
Bristol the future’s not ours to hold
I can feel it slipping away
Bristol I thought I owned the world
now the world owns me today

The bigger the dream the smaller the dawn
I barely woke up today
I know I’ll find a way to go on
at least it’s what I say

ch:
Bristol the future’s not ours to hold
I can feel it slipping away
Bristol I thought I owned the world
now the world owns me today

========================

The bigger the dream the smaller the dawn

If Yesterday Was Tomorrow

Posted on December 27, 2008July 12, 2018 by TK Major

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

If yesterday was tomorrow
I would still be here today
As joy is born from sorrow
And the night is bride to day

If the world and stars were in my soul
and time was in this tear
I’d still have wandered just as far
I’d still be standing here

If love was not the only thing
that never had to die
I’d spend my next life remembering
but never knowing why

If today was all there’d ever be
and tomorrow never came
I would stay right here, I would never leave
I would do it all the same

A Thousand Lies (Bridge to Nowhere)

Posted on September 19, 2008March 24, 2019 by TK Major

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

I’ve Got a Thousand Lies
(originally, Bridge to Nowhere)

I’ve got a thousand lies
I can’t wait to tell you
I’ve got a bridge to nowhere
I know I could sell you
I’ve got a real nice dream
as phony as hell
you know it’s all a
part of the game

I know the rules
I’m making them up
anything that works
just to stay on top
I don’t care who
else takes the drop
’cause it’s all a
part of the game

tell a lie often enough
people forget
where the truth leaves off
but usually the truth —
it’s just not enough
besides it’s all a part of the game

I’ve got a reason
for all that I do
life’s got a meaning
I’ll explain it to you
it’s all about me
it’s not about you and
it’s all a part of the game

Rainy Day on Temple Ave

Posted on September 6, 2008 by TK Major

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

I saw her again
and she was smiling in the sun
but I remember when
she was down and almost done

she had herself a man and
he was doing her so wrong
she said I’ll
give you what I can
but I’m not sure that I’m that strong

–CH– And I said Baby, that’s OK
I know I should not stay
I wouldn’t want your tomorrows
to be as sad as our today

There was a time
when I counted the two of us as one
there was a dream
I thought darkness was all gone

Some things have to be and
some things can never last for long
and some time you just see
to try to hang on is just ( so damn) wrong

–CH–

One drink buys the next
until you’re staring at the stars
wondering what went wrong
and wondering where the hell you are

Ten thousand miles ago
but I guess I haven’t come all that far
I’m still wandering through these streets
I’m still lost among those stars

–CH–

I’m Starting to Really Hate Dreaming

I’m
[D] Starting to really hate [Am] dreaming
[ditto] can’t stand to see the night fall
if [D] can’t close my [Am] eyes without [D] dreaming all [Am] night
and [D] I’d rather not [Am]close them at [D]all

all my dreams start out happy
we have just fallen in love
day by day it starts slippin away
by the morning, it’s all come undone

[G] Lo-sing you [D] one time
[C] baby that was hard e-[D]nough
[G] losing you [D] (each and) every night
[C] makes me sorry i (ever) dreamed of [D]love

Its better to have lost
than never fall in love
thats what some loser said
I say it’s better — better not to dream
time for dreamin’ when I’m dead

All of my dreams start out happy
in all of my dreams you’re the one
we fall in love every night
by the morning it’s all come undone

Not Enough of Nothin’

Posted on June 21, 2008 by TK Major

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Not Enough of Nothing

Not enough of nothing
and nothing more to say
my heads filled up with everything
that we didn’t do today

Not really nowhere
not that if feels that way
not really never
but certainly not today

Everything that must be will be
and everything that won’t be won’t
If you think you want to tell me the ending
do me a favor — don’t

not enough of maybe
too much yes and no
not enough of in between
not enough I don’t know

Too much is certain
too much is bound to be wrong
too many times you’ve bought your own lies
you’d think you’d realize by now

Pretend We’re in Love

Pretend We’re in Love

I was gonna say
Pretend we’re in love
I was gonna make a joke
I was going to wait for the laughter to come
but I was going to hope against hope

I was going to smile and look far away
I was going to be aloof
I was going to act like it’s all a big game
any pretense but the truth

I was gonna say, Did you ever dream about
running away some where?
Some day you and me maybe we could dream
about running away some where…

I was going to smile and look far away
I was going to be aloof
I was going to act like it’s all a big game
any pretense but the truth

Broken, Too

I want to help you baby
but I just don’t know what to do

I tried to love you baby
but I just couldn’t think for two

I thought I could save you
I thought love might pull us through

I thought I could fix things
but I found out I’m broken too

I thought I could fix things
