She’d Be Mine

Posted on by TK Major
Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Last time I saw her a couple years ago
she was shovin a couple of kids in a white volvo
the sun came down through the eucalyptus trees
it made her hair just glow like it always used to be

just then I wish I could have said the words
that I could never say
cause if I’d told her baby I’ll be yours
she’d be mine today

the pool house the beach house the boat house by the lake
I’ll be damned if I remember a thing
yet everytime I think about holding hands in school
my heart just pounds like it always used to do

right now I wish I could have said the words…

sometimes when I sleep I call her name
a thousand girls have told me so
I threw it all away — now I want it all back
but I know it can never be so
[I know it can never be so]

and right now I wish I could have said the words
that I could never say
cause if I’d told her baby I’ll be yours
she’d be mine today

———————
I have loved you such a long long time
and you know I wouldnt say it if it wasnt true
You don’t have a heart
I’ve know
but I’m newly convinced there’s no soul
inside of you

ch 2] Yesterday’s toys
you throw them all away
you dont even stop to watch
their paper hearts in the flames
Like a goddess before
the gods learned how to feel
In your universe
your world
is the only one that’s real

bridge:
[vi] look here baby
I got the map on [iii]you
[vi] Every lie you tell
I can drill right [iii] through
[v] Baby Doll, the fall is coming [ii] soon
and [IV] when it falls
it’s [iii] all gonna [ii] be on [I] you

CH: GDCD | GDCD | GDCD | GDCC

V: D C G/C G/C | D C G/C G/C…

[CH]
I know you wonder how I’ll get along
What will the lost boy do — now the smart girl’s gone?
I haven’t seen the world but there’s one that I know
You were just a short short ride — on a long long road…

[1a]
First time I saw you — didn’t know what to do
I tried to catch your eye — but you just came barreling through
all the boys scattered — and the sparks began to fly
I just stood there — you fillin up my mind
[1b]
Don’t know why you chose me — [Guess] I thought that it was fate
The door swung open –I threw my old life away
my hometown in your rearview — my feet on your daddy’s dashboard
Didn’t take long til I saw [just] what I was for

[CH]
I know you wonder how I’ll ever get along…

[2]
From Bakersfield to Fresno — and everywhere in between
Everything was wrong — and everything was all because of me
At the bottom of the hill I said “here will l be fine”
Last time I saw you you was just another grape on the vine

[CH]

The Devil’s Quicksand

Posted on by TK Major
Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

(CH) its your second chance for the very last time
with your head in your hands and your future behind
grab your life pull as hard as you can
cause your up to your dick in the devils quicksand (waist, tits, head)

if she told you once it was good advice
but a thousand times now that’s just a slice
of some other reality you’d preferm to ignore
it’s just that easy you shut the door

on the love she gave it was just too good
and you always hated how she understood
and you walked away and you felt so free
in the park that day spinning under the trees

but now its cold and the darkness comes
and the drugs wear off and your chums are scum
and the cyst on your arm is turning green
and the one-eyeds guys sez it’s the worst he’s seen

so you drag your ass to the ER room
and you wait 12 hours while the TV booms
and the little kids and the sobbing man
and the angel of death is right at hand

you just cant wait and you run outside
in the streetlight night you stop and cry
“is this their pain–or is it mine?”
you ask yourself but you knew all the time

[ch] neck

twenty cents is all it takes
but ya drop the dimes cause ya got the shakes
ya try again an ya get ’em in
but the the phone just rings and your gut caves in

your knees give out ya hit the ground
people walking by just step around
ya see the sky you see the rain
ya see your ashes in a bag in a paupers grave

but the phones in your hand and your hanging on
and just before the dark her voice comes on
and ya tell her “baby just one last time”
she doesn’t say nothing you hear her crying
—-
her sobbing lasts for such a long time
you almost forget why your on the line
then it comes back like a drano slam
you got one last chance slip this jam

“come on baby i’m on the bricks”
you can almost hear her kitchen clock tick
“I haven’t done nothin’ in 36 hours
and I need a place to take a shower.”

and then it comes and you know your dead
her hollow laugh fills up your head
she drops the phone and it hits the floor
(y’hear her) walk away and laugh some more

(ch) over your head

Whispering Her Name (She’s got Eyes Just Like an Old China Doll)

Posted on by TK Major
Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

old title: She’s Got Eyes (Just Like an old China Doll)

CH: She’s got eyes
just like an old china doll
They look painted on
and yet they’ve seen it all

All around Long Beach
and all the way to LA
the shattered lives are scattered
the hearts are spiked up on staves
— From the Ocean to the mountains
from the birthplace to the grave
Once you behold her
nothing will ever be the same

CH

Everywhere you go
everythings about the same
they wander around dazed
just barely whispering her name
— They walk in front of buses
they throw themselves under trains
but the sick smile on their faces
show those sorry saps are still glad she came

[br] well I looked into her eyes
and I saw my life flash by
Now I wake up screaming
every night dreaming doll’s eyes

I looked into the void
and I saw myself fall in
i see it every time
i see it in her eyes
t’s always been

v3 Here I stand the last man to fall
under her spell
a moment close to heaven
an ice age on the cold side of hell
and how can I face
the other lost souls I find
When I laughed at all of them and then now
here am I the last one in line

10,000 Years

10,000 years

Up against the wall
the moon was in her eyes
I felt her heart beat
I heard her sigh

I touched her cheek
a tear met my hand
Didn’t know it then
but that tear fell to her plan

ch] 10,000 years
is not a day too long
since the world began
I’ve been hangin round here
waiting for you to come along

F#m A E E x 2 // D A E E / D A E E // D A E E / F#m ~ D ~ / E E

I have seen that shining light
one too many times
I have heard the angels sing
while I riddled the devil’s rhymes

“I have seen your eyes
burn into my soul
I have seen the truth
and I will never again be whole”

I’d do it all again
and still come back for more
I know how it’s all gotta end
but I’ll never know what it’s all for

Until the end of time
there’s not that long to go
I thought I knew heaven’s secrets
what the hell did I know?

ch]
10,000 years
is not a day too long
since the world began
I’ve been hangin round here
waiting for you to come along

(I’m in Love with) Somerset’s Mom

ch: I’m in love with somerset’s mom
I’m in love with somerset’s mom

Ever since
we were kids
I’ve been in love
with that mother of his

All thru hi skool
I was burning up
I tried to tell her
I wasn’t man enuff

went away to college
as far as I could
dated girls my age but
it didn’t do no (gnikcuf) good

Now I’m back
with a PHd
but I don’t even understand
my own phy-chol-o-gy

Only 1 thing got me
feeling bad
looks like I might end up being
Somerset’s dad.

Forget Her Eyes

Posted on by TK Major
Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Forget Her Eyes
[aka Swim or Die]

forget her eyes forget her voice
forget her soft caress
she’s just some phony made up girl
up inside your lonely head

forget the night that could have been
the time that never was
forget the dreams that turned to lies
then crumbled into dust

swim or die
it’s understood
I know just what to do
swim or die
it sounds- so – good
if I could only move

the waters cold
the moon is pale
the lights sparkle on the pier
the musics faint & far away
the ocean’s like a mirror

I see myself for what I am
it all becomes so clear
just a wave upon the sea
and this ocean’s just a tear

swim or die
it’s understood
I know just what to do
swim or die
it sounds- so – good
if I could only move

Losing Lisa

Posted on by TK Major
Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

I’ll Be Losing Lisa (There’s No Pleasing Lisa)

Lately it looks like I’ll be losing Lisa
Danged if there’s a thing I can do to keep her
It scares me what I used to do to please her
‘Cause now I know there’s just no pleasing Lisa

Now I know — there’s no pleasing Lisa
Now I know — there’s no pleasing Lisa

Gave all my records and my stereo to Lisa
gave up my band and dropped out of school — all for Lisa
Tattoed her name in a secret place — it said “Lisa”
What a waste of time ’cause nothing ever pleases Lisa

CH Now I know…

Bridge

Got a second job just to buy nice things for Lisa
Laptop, cell phone, wetbar in her car — all for Lisa
But she’s not impressed, she’s not happy yet — that’s just Lisa
‘Cause nothing in the world will ever please that girl — that’s our Lisa

CH Now I know…
