Television lyrics

(Verlaine)

I could just sort of not be there
Know what I mean? Not be anywhere
Wa-hoo
Wa-hoo

Crawl out a cage jump through a hoop,
Oh my gosh I'm living in a loop
Wa-hoo
Wa-hoo
Empty on my bed
head In my world, come and go
What I want I just don't know
In my world.

Sipping mint juleps out on the porch
for you my darling I'll always hold a torch
Wa-hoo
Wa-hoo

(Verlaine)

We did good on an inside job
But now I'm down to wait
No I can't get out.
But you could get across with ease
Dial 45... 41.... oh oh oh
Call Mr Lee,
He'll know the code is broken,
Tell him the dog is turning red
Call Mr Lee

Just one little trip
and you're sweet for life
Help me out
you know you can't be seen
You could get across with ease
Dial 45... 41.... oh oh oh

(Verlaine)

O rose of my heart, can't you see
I don't belong to misery
Though she speaks fine with subtle art
Such misery clothes the rose of my heart.

Now what I see in the long twilight
A star falls down on a hill so white
On a hill so white.

A face that glows in a golden hue
No-one in this world knows what they do
I take my oath and I make my vow

(Verlaine)

Lonely man
in a lonely town yeah
Key words: overseas factor
Heavy duty
Love you baby
Now I'm ready
I'm ready for the duty
Love is calling upon us to perform
And as I take in your sweet perfume
Love is waiting... love
Overseas factor
Heavy duty
I wonder if we're gonna vibrate close
You know...
I mean...
Will our vibrations, our vibrations, be close?

(Verlaine)

Shane
I want to know

Sisters rejoice in a B-minor chord,
With wildly impassioned delight
Rapture is mine now as I behold
All turning holy and bright
So bright.

She gives me all the love
Why do I not hear my name?
She gives me all the love
Maybe I don't understand.

Shane
I want to know.

By light celestial
Sweet burning sweet burning sweet

(Verlaine)

De Soto
Has a cool shark fin
My humble abode
Hey, uh, where I've been
Poochie Poochie,
No, no applause,
Four enchiladas, Senor,
Extra sauce...

Just one face card and one ace
Put my game back in place
Crystal honey, where you been?
Turn a corner and my heart just goes boom-boom!
Boom-boom!
Boom-boom!
Boom-boom!

I know it's stupid,
But what care I?

(Hell)
I was sayin' let me outta here before I was even born,
It's such a gamble when you get a face,
It's fascinatin' to observe what the mirror does,
But when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place.
I belong to the blank generation,
And I can take it or leave it each time.
I belong to the generation,
But I can take it or leave it each time.

(Verlaine)
You hurt my feelings with your chitter-chatter,
I know I listen, baby that don't matter,
I sit around,
I sit around,
Too scattered, too weak,
I know, and you know, I care,
You're so hard to please.
You're so
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
Hard on love (tell me why, tell me why),
I must be a fool to give you any attention,

(Verlaine)

She bought a wig
It was all scrunched up
Then she put it right on my shoe.
You're a crocodile,
That's what you are,
With a crooked smile
That I like so much,
You know I just can't think
No I just can't think
But I like the things we do

My partner in dismay
You don't have to feel this way,
Maybe she'll walk out on this tune,
This tune
This tune

Guess I need some education
Grab some whilst I have the chance to free
Twice upon a time hear yea hear yea hear yea
Plastic bow wow no can't remember... can't remember No.....!

[Chorus:]
In my arms she's warm and smooth
All the bones in heaven will...
I'm just a dipstick yes I like that frying but...
That cop, that cop, hey! that cop's from
That cop's from MARS! Aaaaaaough baby

(R. Erickson, I. Hall, S. Sutherland)
Let me take you to the empty place in my fire engine
Let me take you through the empty space in my fire engine
If it gets too hot you know we'll cool it down with a rubber hose in my
fire fire fire engine
We'll be rolling through this hurricane in my fire engine
Pull a hook and ladder right through your brain in my fire engine

(Verlaine)

Rocket
Rocket
The Rocket
Got a car
Gonna go
Gonna go go
In my car
Rocket
(Blast off)
Rocket
Sherry
Cherie, soon it's time to go
Cherie
Cherie, soon it's time to go
(Blast off!)
Rocket
Cool
Enjoy political freedom now!
Enjoy political freedom
Got a shovel
Gonna dig
Dig a hole
Put somethin' in there
Put somethin' in there
Rocket
Go

(Verlaine)

Willi told me...
I have some wishes, you could say,
Sometimes I think to wish them all the way
Don't get me wrong, Sweetheart,
I think this world is grand
But certain things just don't pay.

No glamour for Willi
She says that's fine
It's not her way
It's not her line
No glamour for Willi
She says that's fine
So fine
So fine
So fine

(Verlaine)
The Bastard's Tale.
A classic piece of literature,
If I ever heard one.
Part 1:
A wicked, bitter pretence,
Stumbling round,
No doubt,
Blase
Righteous.
Remember now the year's
1412, or something.
As I searched amongst them
For a valuable gold piece.
Not really,
No, not really.
The Bastard's Tale,
Part 2:
Now remember,
The year is 1714,
And we're enjoying our new inventions,
