The original release of this album came with a postcard to send back to get your name on the next project, as well as a Bandaid Poem by Patti Smith.
Here we are again, the start of the end, but there's More I only want to see if you'll give up on me But there's always More There is More, International Feel And there's More, Interplanetary Deals But there's More, Interstellar Appeal Still there's More, Universal Ideal Still there's More, International Feel I swear something lies in your ears and your eyes 'Cause there's More You hear and you see yet you do not believe That there's always More (I know)
I know a place where dreams are born And time is never planned It's not on any chart You must find it in your heart Never Never Land It may be miles beyond the moon Or right there where you stand Just keep an open mind And then suddenly you'll find Never Never Land You'll have a treasure if you stay there More precious far than gold For once you have found your way there You will never, never grow old And that's my home where dreams are born And time is never planned Just think of pleasant things And your heart will fly on wings, forever in Never Never Land
instrumental (tic, tic, tic)
You don't need your feet 'cause you know you got wheels You don't need your hands 'cause you know how it feels You don't need your eyes 'cause you know how she looks You don't need your tongue 'cause you know how she cooks But you need your head You don't need your belly 'cause there's nothing to eat You don't need your heart 'cause it just can't be beat You don't need your mouth 'cause you talk too much You don't need your crotch, ah you know it's only a crutch But you need your head
Beat it, beat it, beat your guitar Smash it, smash it, 'til it sees stars Rip it, rip it, rip it to shreds Throw down your axe and then jump into bed Get up, get up, get up and see Revolution on the TV Will you, will you, get your nails dirty Or are you only just a rock and roll pussy
instrumental Arf snarf growl sniff snuk abba woof, etc Snicker, hyuck, ngih, chuckle, ha, etc Don't you think of anything but sex?
Daddy don't like it but Mommy still wonders, Sweet Boy But you're allowed to try it and I point no fingers Sweet Boy, but I'm still wonderin' what it means, boy You hold your wrist so limply You don't have to camp around Save all your money, go confess on Sunday, Sweet Boy And you get your copy of "Honey," back on the street by Monday Sweet Boy, but tell me where does that leave me, boy Save the satin undies, don't pluck out your eyebrows Stow the mincey lisping, you don't have to camp around
instrumental
Pretty bird with feathers falling Pretty as a lady calling For her pink and midnight lover As she stares into the water And a yellow moon is rising And there can't be no disguising That the pretty bird is dying With a silver arrow lying at its side Rivers of blood, oceans of tears, life without death, and death without reason To the whole United Nations, To your greatest expectations To the moment that you realize As a dark figure slips from out of the shadow Pretty bird closes its eyes, pretty bird dies Another pretty thing dead on the end of the shaft Of the Zen Archer A man in parts forgotten With an outlook that is rotten And an attitude to match it Finds relief inside a hatchet And he halved someone in Boulder Justifiability is in the hands of the beholder And you just don't know what people will do next Mountains of pain, valleys of love, death without life, and life without meaning To the promise kept and broken To the love that's never spoken Just as surely as I'm in your ears A dark figure slips from out of the shadow
The blessing of the turtles, the eggs lay on the lawn Paint a pretty picture for me to sit upon The calling of the rabbit, the falling of the hare The hat man then begins to play, a song is everywhere You want the obvious You'll get the obvious Tell them Groucho said, you're just another onionhead Another Virgin Mary, another case is shut Have another helping, prime cut of baby's butt A sip of holy water, a shot of saving grace Another western mystic, the words pour out my face You want the obvious You'll get the obvious I'll shave my skull instead, be just another onionhead
Dada Dali goodbye, Dada Dali don't sigh Your soft alarm clocks quake me So boil your beans and meet me at Perignon Station Crutch me Dali again, Lobster telephone friend Stay in your seat, watch what you eat If you don't get a dead mule then you'll know I'm in heat Dada Dali hello, Dada Dali you're just another onionhead
Earthquake in New York City, the Chrysler Building fell in my yard But when the shit hits the fan, I think I'll have to make my way back to Sunset Boulevard The IRA has just hit London, they blew up half of Scotland Yard But when the shit hits the fan, I guess I'll try to make my way back to Sunset Boulevard Cruisin' down a mountain highway, someone's cut the brakes on my car But when the shit hits the fan, I know I have to get my ass back to Sunset Boulevard
Everyone is mine, no one left behind and there's More Wait another year, Utopia is here and there's always More
Sometimes I don't know I just don't know what to feel Sometimes I don't know what to feel Everything I thought that I knew starts to look so unreal There's a ringing in my head that keeps me awake at night Sometimes I don't know what is right Today I saw a car crush my little dog under its wheel It did not even stop, it just sped off and out of sight Sometimes I just feel so afraid But I know that no one else has it made So if I just believe in myself I won't need no help from nobody else and I can make it alone And everything will be cool, I got to keep on keepin' on There's nothing else I can do Sometimes I don't know what to do Someone said the world's going to end and I think its true I thought there was some love in the world but I guess I'm wrong Sometimes I just feel so alone I don't want to admit to my friends that I feel confused I wonder what I'd do with myself if the world was gone Something makes me stay on my feet Don't you dare admit to defeat And if I tell myself it's all right I can comfort myself through the night and watch another day dawn And everything will be cool
Talk, you can talk, but if you ask me take All your big words and put them together What good will they do when the long day is through Does anybody love you? Do you think that anybody's in love with You can dress up or dress down as you Gaze in the mirror, hung up on your body What good can it be when there's no one there to see You're so lovely, so wise You could make Venus crawl But love between the ugly is the most beautiful love of all
You're prettier than all the world And I'm so proud, I'm so proud, I'm so proud of you 'Cause you're only one fellow's girl I'm so proud, I'm so proud, I'm so proud of you I'm so proud of being loved by you And it would hurt, hurt to know, if you ever were untrue, yeah Sweeter than the taste of a cherry so sweet Yeah, and I'm so proud, I'm so proud, I'm so proud of you Compliments to you from all the people we meet Yes babe and I'm so proud, I'm so proud, I'm so proud of you I'm so proud of being loved by you
I did you wrong My heart went out to play But in the game I lost you What a price to pay I'm crying - ooh baby, baby Mistakes I know I've made a few But I'm only human You've made mistakes too I'm crying - ooh, baby, baby I'm just about at The end of my rope But I can't stop trying I can't give up hope 'Cause I believe One day I'll hold you near Whisper I still love you Until that day is here I'm crying - ooh baby, baby
Many guys have come to you With a line that wasn't true And then you pass them by Now you're in the center ring And their lies don't mean a thing Why won't you let me try Now I don't have a diamond ring I don't even know a song to sing All I know is La La means I love you If I ever saw a girl That I needed in this world You are the one for me Let me take you in my arms And fill you with my charms I'm sure that you will see The things I am saying are true And the way that I say them to you Can't you hear me, La La means I love you
Cool jerk, cool jerk, cool jerk, cool jerk This cat they're talking about I wonder who could it be 'Cause I know I'm the heaviest cat The heaviest cat you ever did see When you see me walking down the street And they clapping and they speak All the business they wish to whisper it But they know I'm the king of the cool jerks Ah ha ha Look at them guys looking at me like I'm a fool Ah but deep down inside they know I'm cool I said now, I said now the moment of truth has finally come When I was gonna do some, some of that cool jerk All right, now I want to hear a little bit of the drums by himself here All right, now I want to hear a little bit of a bass with those eighty-eights All right, now let's hear the organ player fall in All right now everybody, I wanna hear you howl Ah you're cooking, you're smoking Come on people can you do it?
Mom's old fashion cooking Caviar and champagne A meal at McDonald's Nothing fills a man when he's hungry for love Give him love, make him feel all right Give him love, help him sleep at night Give him love, give him one more bite He's hungry for love (give him that) An ounce of sweet Jamaican A snowy spoon of powder A half a pint of Bushmill's Nothing gets you high when you're hungry for love Give me love, make me feel all right Give me love, help me sleep at night Give me love, give me one more bite I'm hungry for love (give me love, give me love)
Sometimes it's hard to look up under The times we're going through I scratch my head and stare and wonder How to face the day anew But it gives my life a bit more meaning To feel in love with you, so heavy I don't want to weigh you down, oh baby I don't want to tie you down I don't want a thing to mar this ever The picture that we make The balance of our minds together The perfect give and take For me to let my love possess you Would be the worst mistake, I'm sorry I don't want to bring you down, oh baby I don't want to tie you down, oh Jesus I don't want to nail you down
There is cause and effect There's a reason I'm so erect There's last night and there's today There's a reason you feel this way Is it my name? Don't miss the boat baby, don't miss the plane I don't think I can make this scene again Why don't you love me? Is it my name? All the lies, all the truth, All the things that I offer you All the sights, all the sounds All the times that you turn me down Is it my name? My voice goes so high you would think I was gay But I play my guitar in such a man-cock way Why don't you love me? It is my name? You only love me for my machine
We've been waiting so long, we've been waiting for the sun to rise and shine Shining still to give us the will Can you hear me, the sound of my voice? I am here to tell you I have made my choice I've been listening to what's been going down There's just too much talk and gossip going 'round You may think that I'm a fool, but I know the answer Words become a tool, anyone can use them Take the golden rule, as the best example Eyes that have seen will know what I mean The time has come to take the bull by the horns We've been so downhearted, we've been so forlorn We get weak and we want to give in But we still need each other if we want to win Hold that line, baby hold that line Get up boys and hit 'em one more time We may be losing now but we can't stop trying So hold that line, baby hold that line If you don't know what to do about a world of trouble You can pull it through if you need to and if You believe it's true, it will surely happen Shining still, to give us the will Bright as the day, to show us the way Somehow, someday, we need just one victory and we're on our way Prayin' for it all day and fightin' for it all night Give us just one victory, it will be all right We may feel about to fall but we go down fighting You will hear the call if you only listen Underneath it all we are here together shining still
