Black Friday 03:57
When Black Friday comes I'll stand down by the door And catch the gray men when they Dive from the fourteenth floor When Black Friday comes I'll collect everything I'm owed And before my friends find out I'll be on the road When Black Friday falls You know it's got to be Don't let it fall on me When Black Friday comes I'll fly down to Muswellbrook Gonna strike all the big red words From my little black book Gonna do just what I please Gonna wear no socks and shoes With nothing to do but feed All the kangaroos When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill You know I will When Black Friday comes I'm gonna dig myself a hole Gonna lay down in it 'Til I satisfy my soul Gonna let the world pass by me The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me And if he don't come across I'm gonna let it roll When Black Friday comes I'm gonna stake my claim I'll guess I'll change my name

Please allow me to adjust my pants So that I may dance the good time dance And put the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance Give disease so the swine will marry and propagate lies. Tough luck for elected officials. The beast you see got fifty eyes. Bring it on home, spread the wealth. Play it cool, the hand's been dealt. Now, all the odds are in our favor. Save the victory speeches for later. Streets on fire, the mob goes wild. 21 guns, box made of pine, letter from the government sealed and signed Delivered Federal Express on your mother's doorstep. Condoleeza Rice is nice, but I prefer A-Roni. And that man on the T.V. who speaks to the dead, you know that man's a phony. Everybody move to Canada, drink milk from bags Everybody move to Canada right now. Here's how we do it: Bum rush the border guard before he and his dog ever knew it. Streets on fire, the mob goes wild. 21 guns, box made of pine, letter from the government sealed and signed Delivered Federal Express on your mother's doorstep.

Your love is like a tidal wave spinning over my head Drownin' me in your promises better left unsaid You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be Heartbreaker You're a heartbreaker Heartbreaker Your love has set my soul on fire burnin' out of control You taught me the ways of desire now it's takin' its toll You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy The invincible winner a and you know that you were born to be Heartbreaker You're a heartbreaker Heartbreaker Hey fellas have you heard the news? You know that Annie's back in town? It won't take long just watch and see How the fellas lay their money down Her style is new but the face is the same As it was so long ago But from her eyes a different smile Like that of one who knows You're a heartbreaker Dream maker, love taker Don't you mess around with me You're a heartbreaker Dream maker, love taker Don't you mess around, no, no, no You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be Heartbreaker Heartbreaker You're a heartbreaker You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be You're a heartbreaker A dream maker, love taker Don't you mess around with me Heartbreaker You're a heartbreaker Heartbreaker Heart! With a purple armadillo and a fifty cent ham!

La Grange 04:02
Rumor spreadin' 'round In that Texas town About that shack outside La Grange Just let me know if you wanna go To that home out on the range They got a lot of nice girls (out there) A hmm, hmm, hmm Yeah, hmm, hmm Well, I hear it's fine If you got the time And the ten to get yourself in A hmm, hmm And I hear it's tight Most every night But now I might be mistaken Hmm, hmm, hmm

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun Shine on you crazy diamond Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky Shine on you crazy diamond You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom Blown on the steel breeze Come on you target for faraway laughter Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon Shine on you crazy diamond Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light Shine on you crazy diamond Well you wore out your welcome with random precision Rode on the steel breeze Come on you raver, you seer of visions Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the cover 'Till I talked to my daddy he say He said, you ain't seen noting 'Till you're down on a muffin Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder All the times I can reminisce Ah the best thing lovin' with her sister and her cousin Started with a little kiss, like this See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school With your feet flyin' up in the air Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle You be swingin' like you just didn't care So I took a big chance at the high school dance With a missy who was ready to play Was it me she was foolin'? 'Cause she knew what she was doin' Taught me how to walk this way She told me to Walk this way, walk this way Walk this way, walk this way Walk this way, walk this way Walk this way, walk this way Ah, just give me a kiss Like this School girl sadie with the classy kinda sassy Little skirt climbing way up her knees There was three young ladies in the school gym locker When I noticed they was lookin' at me I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady Till the boys told me something I missed Then my next door neighbour with a daughter had a favour Took me just a little kiss, like this See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school With your feet flyin' up in the air Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle You be swingin' like you just didn't care So I took a big chance at the high school dance With a missy who was ready to play Was it me she was foolin'? 'Cause she knew what she was doin' Told me how to walk this way She told me to Walk this way, walk this way Walk this way, walk this way Walk this way, walk this way Walk this way, talk this way Just give me a kiss Like this

Sugar 02:43
The Kombucha mushroom people Sitting around all day Who can believe you? Who can believe you? Let your mother pray Sugar I'm not there all the time, you know Some people Call it insane Yeah, they call it insane I play Russian Roulette everyday, a man's sport With a bullet called life, yeah, mama, called life You know that every time I try to go Where I really wanna be It's already where I am 'Cause I'm already there The Kombucha mushroom people Sitting around all day Who can believe you? Who can believe you? Let your mother pray Sugar I bought a drum the other day from Prinzi It's cute, small, fits right in my pocket Yeah, right in my pocket My girl, you know, she lashes out at me sometimes And I just give her some raisins and then, ooh baby, she's okay People are always chasing me down Trying to push my face to the ground I just change the words when no one’s around The Kombucha mushroom people Sitting around all day Who can believe you? Who can believe you? Let your mother pray I sit, in my desolate room No lights, no music Just anger I've killed everyone I'm away forever, but I'm feeling better How do I feel? What do I say? In the end it all goes away How do I feel? What do I say? In the end it all goes away In the end it all goes away In the end it all goes away In the end it all goes away In the end it all goes away

Carry on, my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming I can hear them say Carry on, my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune But I hear the voices say Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more, no Carry on, my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry, don't you cry no more No more

Black Dog 04:14
Hey hey baby, said the way you move Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove Ah, ah, child, way you shake that thing Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting. Hey hey baby when you walk that way Watch your honey drip, can't keep away I gotta roll, can't stand still Got a flamin' heart, can't get my fill Eyes that shine, burnin' red Dreams of you all through my head Been too long 'fore I found out What people mean by down and out Spent my money, took my car Started tellin' his friends he's gonna be a star I don't know, but I been told A two-faced man ain't got no soul All I ask for when I pray A steady rollin' man won't come my way I ain't the woman gonna hold your hand Tell me no lies, you'll be a happy man

On the day I was born The nurses all gathered 'round And they gazed in wide wonder At the joy they had found The head nurse spoke up And she said, "leave this one alone" She could tell right away That I was bad to the bone Bad to the bone Bad to the bone I broke a thousand hearts Before I met you I'll break a thousand more, baby Before I am through I wanna be yours pretty baby Yours and yours alone I'm here to tell ya honey That I'm bad to the bone Bad to the bone Bad to the bone I make a rich man beg I'll make a good man steal I'll make an old man blush And make a young man squeal I wanna be yours pretty baby Yours and yours alone I'm here to tell ya honey That I'm bad to the bone Bad to the bone Bad to the bone And when I walk the streets Kings and Queens step aside Every man I meet They all stay satisfied I wanna tell ya pretty baby What I see I make my own I'm here to tell ya honey That I'm bad to the bone Bad to the bone Bad to the bone
