#3 Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad.
#2 We met as soulmates on Parris island, we left as inmates from an asylum.
#1 Screen door slams, Mary’s dress waves, like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays.

And:
You can take me anywhere, I’ll strip down to my underwear, if you give me half the chance

3 If half of what I’m saying, of what I’m saying, is true
2 Are teenage dreams so hard to beat?
1 I can’t stand it, I know you planned it
so hard to pick and order just three…

I don’t believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did, I would kneel down and ask him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
The wintergreen, the juniper
The cornflower and the chicory
All the words you said to me
Still vibrating in the air
The elm, the ash and the linden tree
The dark and deep, enchanted sea
The trembling moon and the stars unfurled
There she goes, my beautiful world

do you have the time to listen to me whine
about nothing and everything all at once?
i am one of those melodramatic fools
neurotic to the bone no doubt about it

the people in the apartment across the street
literally and metaphorically
look down on me

reluctantly crouched at the starting line
engines pumping and thumping in time
the green light flashes, the flags go up
churning and burning they yearn for the cup
i could have very easily done a whole top 10. maybe 20

Well, I got drunk and I got stoned
Shot my family left my home
Went out on a killing spree
'Coz what you did was ■■■■■■ to me

Yeah I’m rollin’ down Rodeo wit a shotgun
These people ain’t seen a brown skin man
Since their grandparents bought one

I can feel my heart beat, pumping like a ska beat
Villainous silhouette (flick) light a cigarette
Gun it down a back street, body in the back seat
And I just sped right through a red light from the rush

I’m Jim Fixx and I’m dead now
Don’t cry for me, I’m happy
They found me with running shoes on
Sweat still wet and hamstrings warm
The screen door slams, Mary’s dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison’s singing for the lonely
Hey, that’s me and I want you only

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
.
Driving down from the highland line
We done some gigs on the Clyde and the Tyne
They flew us in from a Hamburg strip
The taste of Dusseldorf still on our lips
