My Blazer

A warm up:
My blazer
Emblazoned with a crest from the ages
Well it lets me cry in every stage
I frequent when I'm high
Ever since I was a teenager
I've been sporting that shiny shiny shiny blazer
If you don't believe I look as cute as a laser
Then you must have something wrong with your eyes
Don't I amaze ya
Walking down the street in nothing but that blazer
Oh I feel fantastic
And you're not wrong
that's my soft dick
poking out
of the bottom
I'm 84 years old
and I'm rotten
Ever since my school days
there's been something wrong
My mind is melting
under the sun

On our very 1st date you said
You would be 10 minutes you said
But you were 15 and that's okay
'cause I got delayed on the way
Ruth
tell me the truth
So we got some ice cream sandwiches
and we sat outside the zoo
You said you'd love to hold hands with us
and you promised not to follow through
Ruth
tell me the truth
Ruth
where do you go
I remember going to and fro
Waiting for you
to come home
Tell me the truth Ruth
Where do you go?
Tell me the truth Ruth
Why are those particles in your hair
Why do you stare so much, Ruth?
Tell me the truth, Ruth.

You used to call me on my cellphone
Late night when I need your love
Call me on my cellphone
Late night when you needed my love
And you were unsupervised
Just wandering around the shopping market
Yeah you didn't know where you lived
Because the X-bomb had hit
Used to call me on my cellphone
Late night when you needed my love
You used to call me on my cellphone
Late night when you needed to get off
But now you don't know where you live
and I have got no love to give anyway
You used to call me
and it made me feel nice
But now you only call me when you're high
You know you used to call me just to say hi
Now you call me when you wanna stay high
And it makes me feel like a grooveless child
You know it makes me feel like Nina Simone for a while
You know it makes me feel
and that is something I don't like
No I don't like it's like when you've got a broken bike
You used to call me on my cellphone
Late night when you needed my love
Now you don't even own a cellphone
Now you don't even own a glove
'cause you gave away all your earthly possessions
when you joined that cult in Texas
Yeah I saw you on the news last night
And it made me feel
and I don't like that

With a Frown

My baby's not in town
Now every day ends when the sun goes down
There's no one at home to leave a light on
And that's why I am singing this song
with a frown
Check your rearview mirror
It's not a smile turned upside down
'cause my baby's not around
She's off somewhere in some unknown apartment
Doing the bidding of the fashion department
And I am alone
With just her little face in the phone
Yes I am alone
With no soup spoon to call my own
The lady is absent
So I fortify myself with other distractions
Like peekaboo with the cat
And come to think of it, nothing much more than that
There's power in solitude
But I can't seem to find it without my little dudesse
And you know I wasn't planning on telling you this
When I go to sleep I wrap myself up in her dressing gown
And now I'm going down
to the little places in the creepy part of town
Where it's allowed
to drink your drink with a frown

The computer made a noise
Run and get the boys
Then came running
They were funning
They brought their toys
They were having a good time
Till the results came in
And then they lost that grin
The computer had done a sin
The computer had made a mistake
The computer had broken the rule
The computer had made fools of all of us
And now we were shy and withdrawn
One of us looked at it and said
It looks like an artwork you'd make Tom
and the computer raised its head
That's not like anything any human could create!
It was angry and it wasn't afraid to make it known
I did all of that on my own!
We were blown away
The computer had put us in our place
And we still pray to that CPU Daddy
It's our master now
and we even gave it a crown
Yeah we never leave the house
without the permission of the keyboard,
the monitor
and the mouse

What will they say
when your spray your ideas
in their face?
Will they treat it like mace?
Will they have water streaming down
from the space between forehead and their mouth
Is that what you want?
To be a dirty god?
To be something odd
talked about in the laundry room
What will they do
when the show is through?
Will they return to their room
the same
or with something misconstrued?
Is that what you want my friend?
What is it that you actually want in the end?
A broken plate
or some love that was made
What is it that you want my friend?
What is it that you actually want my friend?
Cause you can have it
You can smash it
Just go on and grab it
Grab it
Just like a horny rabbit
Don't be afraid
That's what I think you're doing on this earth
That's why I think you were put here and you deserve it
So make your imprint
So just take what you want
It's right there
If it's a beast
then just cut its hair
And you know that we're saying this because we care
We care
and we're glad that you're there

Stinky on the washing line
Perfect when you take your time
Touch me I am feeling nice
If you would sprinkle a little spice
I would thank you twice
And if you don't know me
Reach inside
Feel frisky
Trust yourself if you feel good
Don't do what you know you shouldn't
Don't put up a front
Happy Valentine's Day
I hope you come my way
and I hope you feel good

Baby boy
Sing us something
I wanna make a house
I wanna build a house
out of nothing
I want somewhere to live
and I don't want to give any money to the builder
I don't wanna give any money to anyone
I want you to sing us something
Baby boy
Sing us something
I wanna build a house
and I don't wanna pay a penny
I wanna do it on the cheap baby
I don't wanna give a penny away to anyone
I wanna do it on the cheap
So I need your music concrete
Music concrete
Pour it all over me
But it's most important
that you do it for free
Gimme something
Sing us something
Baby boy

The Fuccboi's Love Song

Politeness is a gift
that I would give to you if I knew how
Slightness is a way of living
that I would live if I didn't have such
highbrow ambitions
If I wasn't so suspicious
If I could ever stop and do the dishes
I would
But you're just too good
Please don't think me rude
If I stare at you from across the room
It's just that your shape
reminds me of one I want to make
And don't think it suspicious when I say
I hope my children are like you one day
Please don't get me cancelled when I ask
If you got 2 llamas in your ark
'cause I'm only trying to be friendly
I don't know what's come over me lately
I'm just trying to make friends
that could be more
They could be more
It's not Christmas Eve
But I'm looking under your Christmas tree
greedily
and I like what I see
and I hope you'll let me
unwrap your presents
in the presence of your family
or maybe just you and me
teeheehee
'cause I'm quite freaky
You know it doesn't bother me
If you watch TV while we do it
No it doesn't bother me one bit
If you're not even into it
No it doesn't make me feel sad
if I never get to meet your dad
'cause I'm a fuck boy
This is the fuck boy's love song
I'm just a fuck boy
I'll fuck you then I'll move on
Just a fuck boy
Just a simple fuck boy
To me you are worth one night
One night and I think that's alright

Friday night
Feeling fine
Just got a drink
Just took a line
Creaking sound
by my side
Mezzanine
Mezza-nein
Drinks went flying
No I ain't lying
The customers were confused
They thought they'd been abused
They were dissatisfied
Cause this was their only Friday night
They were looking for a good time
But all they got was some rubble in their eye
Yes the proprietors promised them drinks
All the free drinks they could drink
But it wasn't in time
Cause the mezzanine collapsed at 9
There's only 1 thing
Worse than when the dealer doesn't bring
And that's when the table you're sitting on
takes its spin
Yeah takes a spin
and leaves you high
on the collapsing mezzanine
Collapsing mezzanine
All your friends were drinking wine
All your friends were feeling fine
Until the floor started to tilt
It was like pinball in there
When the floor started to
make you feel like Lilt
Collapsing mezzanine
the most awful Friday night you've ever seen
This is your personal
September 11th
But it was the 7th
of July
So it was that much worse
You'd been looking forward to meeting that guy
You'd been looking forward to catching his eye
But the building had other plans
Yeah the building made you dance
Make em dance Make em dance
Make 'em dance the building said
and although nobody was left dead
It's gonna leave a lasting impression in your head
Yeah your Friday night
is
spent

Grooveless Faux
04:49

Oh baby why don't you
give me some breakfast
If you're feeling restless
Just come to the kitchen
and make me feel good
Yeah I've been waiting since 6
To get my fix
Oh it's wonderful
When you're under the gun
in that grooveless faux
Dancing with a foolish foe
Tiptoeing around the mall
Are your dreams finished yet?
'cause there's something good
on your TV set
and I know that you won't
wanna miss it
Please please let me
kiss it
Kiss it goodbye
Move your legs to the side
I can't see
What society tell you to
hide from me
Oh I must still be dreaming
to have such a scene in front of me
Oh it's a delightful proposal
but you already know
To be engaged in that
grooveless faux
You make me weak at the knees
when you don't say please

I heard pretty love songs
coming from an open window
today
Today
I stopped
to listen to the love songs
and I had to cry
Why didn't I just walk away?
I knew
all the love songs
Once upon a time they sang them
to me
Today
I was crying in the sunshine
when someone said
'Is something wrong'
And I said 'No,
It's just a song
and I can't tell you why
pretty love songs always make me cry'

Seems foolish to deny it
So many 1s and 0s in a riot
Don't look now
'cause they're coming
You can hear them from all the way down the street
yeah there's no denying they're coming
And it's been a long time
since I saw something worse
Like 1500 clowns
each driving their own hearse
And I want to stop it
But it seems so impossible
It seems impossible
Impossible
Don't touch me now
The infection's going round
And I think I've got what they all had
I'm unstoppable now
As soon as I hit the ground
I'm gonna run for 100 000 000 miles
Now the time has come
to say goodbye to the old ways
They said it before
Back in the old days
And you know it's right
You hear it humming in your head when you turn off the light
And you don't know what to do
You swore it would never happen to you
But it's right here in your face
The transgressions of the human race
are catching up with us
And there's nothing left to do
So I just wanna spend a little time with you
Just sit right beside me here
There's room for 2
Let what's going on outside go on
Don't let it distract you
