Liner Notes

I Don't Care That You Don't Mind

I said, "I'm drinkin' up.

Would you like a belt yerself?"

You said, "Thanks, but no thanks,

I don't drink, myself.

But you go right ahead, my friend,

I'm not the sort that minds."

"That's good to hear," I said

"Because I think you'll find

that I don't care that you don't mind."

I said, "I'm lightin' up.

Would you like a puff?"

You said, "Thanks, but no thanks,

I don't do that stuff.

But you go right ahead, my friend,

I'm not the sort that minds."

"That's good to hear," I said

"Because I think you'll find

that I don't care that you don't mind."

I said "Let's do the nasty,

I like it when it's rough."

You said, "Well, I'm not so sure

I like that kind of stuff.

But I'll roll over just for you

And take it from behind."

"That's good to hear," I said

"Because I think you'll find

that I don't care that you don't mind."

On And On

Come with me down this ol' road

Where I got stuck and later towed

Listen to the sound of the falling rain

We just might end up stuck again

The little bird can sing and sing

The little bird knows everything

But the little bird don't bother with song

He knows that it just goes on and on and on and on

Climb up in this tree with me

The branches are big and there's plenty to see

Listen to the sound of the blowin' leaves

Feel that breeze goin' through your sleeves

The little bird can sing and sing

The little bird knows everything

But the little bird don't bother with song

He knows that it just goes on and on and on and on

Don't go followin' me no more

I'm sick of your face at my back door

Don't you listen to the bird in your head

Just remember what I said

The little bird can sing and sing

The little bird knows everything

But the little bird don't bother with song

He knows that it just goes on and on and on and on and on

Come with me down this ol' road

Where I got stuck and later towed

Listen to the sound of the falling rain

We just might end up stuck again...

The Day We Never Met

I thought of you and made believe

Until I made you real

You played with me

You stayed with me

And knew just what I'd feel

The lips I never kissed

Are lips I can't forget

The dress you never wore

On the day we never met

The name I never whispered

As it echoed in my mind

The man I never was

The sweet thing that's not mine

I drink to you and toast your name

A name that I don't know

I think of you and see a face

A face that never shows

The lips I never kissed

Are lips I can't forget

The dress you never wore

On the day we never met

The name I never whispered

As it echoed in my mind

The man I never was

The sweet thing that's not mine

The lights are out, the moon is up

I'm calling out my plea

But all I hear is my own voice

Echo back to me

The lips I never kissed

Are lips I can't forget

The dress you never wore

On the day we never met

The name I never whispered

As it echoed in my mind

The man I never was

The sweet thing that's not mine

Let It Feel Like Something Else

Rise up on your feet again

Wake yourself from your sleep

Seems it never ever ends

Like an ocean cold and deep

Let it feel like something else

Let it be a breeze

Let me be like someone else

With something else to see

Out here on the sea again

The waves are rolling high

The stowaways are laughing

And the children want to cry

Let it feel like something else

Let it be a breeze

Let me be like someone else

With something else to see

Deep inside this dream again

And searching for the tracks

Sitting by that window then,

Where now you can't go back...

Let it feel like something else

Let it be a breeze

Let me be like someone else

With something else to see

Little Secret

Just don't tell the things you know

Never show the things you see

Let's keep this little secret with you and me

First come outside here with me

I know it's night, but I can see -

That's right, step out, take my hand

And I'll help to make you understand

Just don't tell the things you know

Never show the things you see

Let's keep this little secret with you and me

Let's keep this little secret with you and me

I like nights when there's no moon

I like suckin' on snakebite wounds

I like thinkin' bout you and me

Twined up in the grass by the apple tree

Just don't tell the things you know

Never show the things you see

Let's keep this little secret with you and me

Let's keep this little secret with you and me

Bite my lip and make it bleed

My heart is running twice the speed

If you wanna know just how I feel

Listen to the sound of my spinnin' wheels

Just don't tell the things you know

Never show the things you see

Let's keep this little secret with you and me

Let's keep this little secret with you and me

Sittin' On A Tree Stump

Listen to the grass that's out there blowin'

Look at that tractor just there sittin'

It's my name that the bottle's callin'

Listen to the goddamn song I'm singin'

Drink your wine, listen to the crickets

It's so fine out here in the thickets

Sittin' on a tree stump, that's the ticket, uh-huh

Look at that doggy sittin' on the stairs

Look at that star shinin' way up there

Think of all the things that they're doin' in jail

Think of all the rich ones out on bail

Drink your wine, listen to the crickets

It's so fine out here in the thickets

Sittin' on a tree stump, that's the ticket, uh-huh

Look at the TV, it's all crappy

Look at the bald spot on yer pappy

Listen to his wheatfield out there blowin'

Hope its doin' better than his hair at growin'

Drink your wine, listen to the crickets

It's so fine out here in the thickets

Sittin' on a tree stump, that's the ticket, uh-huh
