Geraldine

Geraldine wakes in the morning
Off to the kitchen cooking
Fixin' me breakfast and makin' me lunch
Cookin' up supper she loves me a bunch
Chorus:
Geraldine I love you
Geraldine I love you
Geraldine I love you so
Geraldine I love you
Geraldine I love you
Geraldine don't ever go
Geraldine lived by the good book
Read to the children every evening
"Heavenly place where the Father resides"
Some sweet tomorrow we'll walk by her side
Chorus
Geraldine left on a Sunday
Lies underneath yonder willow
Far across Jordan where paradise lay
Angels of mercy done took her away
Chorus

Horny

Horny
Horny just like the croakin' toad
Horny, feel my brain might explode
Feel my heart-rate racing
Got the wiggle in the knees
When I look at you baby
Please hear my pleas
I'm horny, I need your sweet release
I'm ready, ready to blow your mind
I'm ready, ready to please you child
Wicked ruminations
Rollin' 'round my mind
So many tangles baby
We must unwind
I'm horny, I'm bonafide
I'm randy, but I could be your Don Juan
I'm randy, but I could be your James Bond
Like a secret agent
Followin' the clue
I'm on a mission babe
I must have you
I'm horny, baby what you gonna do?

Baby don't let go
Baby don't let go
Promise me our love will flow
Like the raindrops falling on the well
Baby don't tell a lie
Baby don't tell a lie
Secrets tend to multiply
Like the raindrops falling on the well
And the rain that fell on me
Was clear and cold
And the rain that fell on you
Was calling you home
Baby don't keep secrets now
Baby don't keep secrets now
Honest as a wedding vow
Like the raindrops falling on the well
And the rain that fell on me
Was clear and cold
And the rain that fell on you
Was calling you home
Baby don't keep secrets now
Baby don't keep secrets now
Honest as a wedding vow
Like the raindrops falling on my cell

Joltin' Jim

Joltin' Jim
Joltin' Jim, Joltin' Jim
Guitar slingin', whiskey drinkin', West Virginian
Joltin' Jim, Joltin' Jim
You can jolt but you don't hold a candle to him
Well he may be in Tennessee
Or he may be at home
He jump and jolt and bolt just like a double action colt revolt
He came in on a song he sang it country to the bone
Joltin' Jim, Joltin' Jim
The likes of which we'll never see again, I ain't lyin’
Good ol' Joltin' Jim
Joltin' Jim, Joltin' JIm
Float like a feather in the West Virginia wind
Joltin' Jim, Joltin' Jim
Rumble just like thunder comin' down the mountain
Well he rise up in the mornin'
Sees the sun lift in the east
He drinks his cup of coffee off he races 'til he faces to the west
The sun it sets he sips his whiskey then repeats
Joltin' Jim, Joltin' Jim
The like of which we'll never see again, I ain't lyin'
Good ol' Joltin' Jim
Joltin' Jim, Joltin' Jim
The true heart of country beatin' just beneath his skin
Joltin' Jim, Joltin' Jim
Legend livin' longer than the Appalachian
Well he give you the shirt off his back
Or let you take his bed
The country boy's the Real McCoy he gives it like he lives it
Sittin' quiet in the kitchen makin' bacon breakin' bread
Joltin' Jim, Joltin' Jim
The like of which we'll never see again, ain't no foolin'
Good ol' Joltin' Jim
One more time I said
It's good ol' Joltin' Jim
And I love you man
It's good ol' Joltin' Jim

The Reins
Who knew the changing of the guard would have to be so hard?
Guess there's certain stages no one can prepare you for
It's the saddest of days, what is there to say?
They've gone before your eyes into the unseen door
The sorrow steals your breath away, pulls the color from your face
But in these trying times it's time you take your place
Groomed for just this moment, you must know it's true
Someone just handed the reins to you
Looking up to them looking out for you each step of the way in every breakthrough
Always your constant guide
Warm beneath their wing you could face anything
And your proudest place to be was always by their side
They had a trip to take, a ticket time to meet
The journey of their lifetime, to finally fill their seat
But before they boarded there was one last thing they had to do
And someone just handed the reins to you
They say, "Everything is Everything" and that's supposed to be comforting
That anytime you look you'll see them everywhere
In the blossoming trees, in the sway of the breeze
But it isn't quite the same as seeing them standing there
No one's ever done it better, past or present, come or gone
The groundwork they laid down could never be improved upon
But this is just the highest hope they hoped someone might carry through
And someone just handed the reins to you
Destiny's grace holds firmly in place
There are miracles abound that only heaven knows
But still there's a choice in every voice
And it wasn't happenstance that it was you they chose
Their mind was sure and steady, they knew the time was right
They could tell your heart grown ready to take up and bear the light
And they carefully picked the person to leave the important task to
And someone just handed the reins to you
Amazing they were, him and her
And what they did for you is clear and plain to see
But wherever they've gone I know they passed it on
For the giant they were for you, you are the same for me
However did such a one as this in flesh and blood walk upon this earth?
Of pure heart and perfect love beyond measure of worth
How can we hope to manage, what ever will we do?
Someone just handed the reins to you

Sunflower

Sunflower
Don't it look like rain?
The way the clouds all hover here
Sad baby pain
Swoops in on me by wings of fear
That's alright by me
That's alright by me
As long as I have eyes to see
My sunflower
Pointing to the sun
My sunflower
Taller than the trees it seems
I step out my door
Try to hear the birdies sing
Either they don't sing no more
Or I can't hear them through this thundering
Thoughts in my mind
All of the time
Still somehow I will unwind
With my sunflower
Pointing to the sun
My sunflower
She's taller than the trees it seems
She's my sunflower
Little Himawari San
My sunflower
You're taller than the trees it seems
And when I feel my head it might explode
And I'm a stranger in my skin
So ashamed and so alone
I see her swaying in the wind
She smiles for me
Sometimes I can't tell
What is real and what's a dream
Am I beneath your spell
Or are you loving as you seem?
It tears me apart
It tears me apart
You're just so dear to my heart
You're my sunflower
Pointing to the sun
My sunflower
Taller than the trees it seems
You're my sunflower
My little Himawari San
My sunflower
You're taller than the trees it seems

I Want Only You
Four in the morning I'm wide awake
Four in the morning I'm wide awake
I want only you
I want only you
From seven hundred miles away
From seven hundred miles away
I want only you
I want only you
No one else but you
No one else but you
No one else but you
I see your face in every star
I long to be wherever you are
I want only you
I want only you
I want only you

I Will Make it through
05:36
|

I Will Make it Through
Well my heart is mighty weary
My head is filled with much confusion
Can't tell what is factual
Or what is real or what's illusion
So much is unknown
So much you can never figure
From the moment that you're born
'Til you meet up with the grave digger
Chorus:
But I will make it
Make it through
I will make it
Make it through
Now they'll tell you nothin's good
Tell you there's nothin' to believe in
They wait until the moment
You're tired and unsuspecting
They dig themselves a hole
Try to pull you down inside it
They wait until the moment
They know you'll be too tired to fight it
Chorus
Bridge:
Here in the darkness I got to think about the light
'Cause there's always a morning at the end of every night
Everything looks ugly
If you look at it with tinted glasses
Got to come a time
All of this confusion passes
Chorus
So many things that seem set up to bury you
But I will make it, make it through

Popeye

Popeye
The night watchman sounds the bell in town
Hijack! Out back! Train track tied her down!
Oh, who's gonna save her now?
Someone found him in line at the health food store
Up for the job he swore he'd even the score
Heard the news and he shot off out the door
Train barrelled in like lightning down the line
A hundred yards out from the wailin' lady cryin'
Oh but he got there just in time
Caught the culprit hiding in the shed
Drug him out and thumped him on the head
Got the distressed damsel safe back home to bed
Hush little baby, let me tuck you in
The monster's gone, best not bother you again
Or I'll come back I'm Popeye The Sailor Man

Silent Violence
04:43
|

Silent Violence
Tight lip tight grip
Make him do a backflip
Cold eyed cold shoulder
Man he's looking so much older
Tiptoeing around you so he don't have to talk to you
'Cause every time he talks to you it seems to him he bothers you
Stands at the door
Stares at the floor
He better sit down, shut up
Let you do your makeup
Don't talk, don't speak
Only makes you sound weak
Hands up in exasperation only adds to your frustration
Cannot meet your expectation don't deserve an explanation
Can't speak to him
Could hear a pin
Silent violence, silent violence, silent violence, silent violence
Insults, ridicule
Always made to feel the fool
Consumed, dread and doom
Little Joe sits in his room
Pointed at, laughed at, perpetually outcast
Push him 'til his brain so twisted finds a way he knows they'll listen
Nothin' to lose
Got his face on the news
And here's the white hat diplomat
Tells you where the problem's at
His fault, your fault
Laid out like the gospel fact
Half his listeners tip their hats the other half start waving bats
His commentary's falling flat on ears eager to fire back
Open your eyes
Storm on the rise
They said it's bullshit untrue
Convoluted point of view
Take the bait, feel the hate
Sprouting up inside of you
Type fast, verbal blast, you got to get the word in last
Raise your hand to make a fist your daughter's tugging at your wrist
Youth's fragile mind
Absorbs all the time
Silent violence, silent violence, silent violence, silent violence
This way that way
Everything in disarray
Watch your mouth, what you say
Who's side are you on anyway
Narrow minded short sight pigheaded parasitic critics
Neurotic psychotic products of prolific hypocritics
Smiling so sweet
Blood at their feet
They put their post up, comment
Splash it on the internet
Concrete cement
Step out of line look what you get
Blood let rivulet, setting up the parapet
Foiled from the outset cause everyday is judgement
Laid down on you
Since you were two
But on the news feed, need to bleed
Suffering and heartless greed
Back and forth, page to page
Petrol on your inner rage
Fear this, doubt that, stand clear, stay back
From everywhere they've got you snookered, hotter than a pressure cooker
See the divide
Burning inside
Silent violence, silent violence, silent violence, silent violence
Meanwhile on the street
Hotter than the summer heat
Tension ninety-eight degrees
Tired of being on their knees
Held down kept down, shown that they don't have a voice
Know your place cold case you don't have any other choice
Passive abuse
Shortens the fuse
And it's so tense, so dense
Anything could set it off
Payback from way back
It's ready for the take off
Blackjack dealer deal the cards it's retribution swift and hard
Call the mayor, call the bard, put a call into the national guard
Prime to ignite
Who's got a light?
Gun blast whistle blown
Streets look like a war zone
Stay home, close your eyes
Why you lookin' so surprised?
Clingin' to your four leaf clover now that shit is boiling over
Best to run and take some cover, let you know when this blows over
What is all this?
All of this started with
Silent violence, silent violence, silent violence, silent violence
SILENCE

Worn Out Records
03:57
|
|||
Got a back room in my house
Nobody knows about
That's where I go to get away
Just a creaky rockin' chair
A turntable turnin'
Helps relieve the pressure of my day
Could you close the door behind you?
Did anybody follow?
'Cause this ain't just a place for everyone
Just take your pick and tell
Where to drop the needle
On the shining starts I used to walk among
'Cause you can't beat the sound of worn out records
Must have played 'em all a hundred thousand times
They're dusty and they hiss
But I never could resist
You can't beat the sound of worn out records
My whole life is in these boxes
And old tape recorders
Decisions, friends, and money I once made
You might say I'm sentimental
Or some kind of hoarder
Well let the ghost of good times past serenade
'Cause you can't beat the sound of worn out records
Must have played 'em all a hundred thousand times
They're crackle and they pop
I want to hear it from the top
You can't beat the sound of worn out records
They found a fossil on the road
An old man tellin' stories
The lucky dog who made it out alive
So if you really want to know
What it takes to taste the glory
You can't beat the sound of worn out records
Must have played 'em all a hundred thousand times
They turn and they hum
For the good times come and gone
You can't beat the sound of worn out records
You can't beat the sound of worn out records
You can't beat the sound of worn out records
