Come Down album cover Unlike the lyrics to Rule OK, I'm not sure what all Courtney is saying, & they're marked with an asterisk (*). "Orange" and "Whipping Tree" should all be in that, Courtney is incredibly difficult to understand anyway, especially when he's speaking softly. Please send suggestions!



BE-IN.
In my room Alone in my room I'll be in for the while And can't you see I'm lonely in my mind* And feeling good enough to try All the drugs that you bring (If) they're antiquated beyond belief Just to be good enough To get me high (chorus:) Am I Am I My only only only friend That I Am I Am I Am I My only only only friend That I am I And I go I'm lonely in my dreams* I'll be in for the while I ask to think While I sit and I wait for the phone to ring I'd be happier with just enough* (chorus) Only (x27) friend that I am I.

BOYS BETTER.
Boys had better beware You can see to colour (of) your hair But on a wig you already spent All the dough to cover your rent And it's so cool man if you care For all the other boys cutting And bleach-job hair And girls had better beware Boys, you better... better! Boys had better beware It could seem a wasted affair And like a bitch you already spent All the dough you promised your friends And it's so cool man if you care For all the other boys cutting and bleach-job hair And girls had better beware Boys, you better... better! Boys said, "Shave my head" But god says "Amen"...* Oh man it's not fair To all the other boys cutting and bleach-job hair And girls better beware Boys you better... you better!

MINNESOTER.
Yeah well I can rock her Like a doctor If I found a way to get her off first Yeah I can own her, that crazy loner If I found my way to Minnesoter I get a slumber from sawing lumber Saw my baby down so I can numb her With her shirt off Oh man her skin's soft But in a mood she'd rather If I jerked off If I found my way to Minnesota-ah Minnesota-ah Yeah Yeah well I can rock her Like a doctor If I found a way to get her off first Well I can own her, that crazy loner If I found my way to Minnesoter If, if I found my way to Minnesoter If, if I found my way to Minnesota-ah Minnesota-ah yeah.

ORANGE.
If I look down this road It's not so old, I know Ain't it white like snow But some how painted gold And when I'm lost and torn A soldier in orange, I... Like a roll in the snow On a doctors show (repeat all) But when I'm lost and torn A soldier in orange But like a *roll in the snow On a doctor's show.

I LOVE YOU.
I love you (x36) I only just met you before But I can't understand that you don't want me more You maybe think that i'm too smart and weird But that should only make you want to hear (that) I love you (x16) You make me feel really mature But that should only make you feel secure Though we've only known each other for a bit Already I can't sleep at night and I feel like shit.

NOT IF YOU WERE THE LAST JUNKIE ON EARTH.
Well I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passe And today If you think that I don't know about the pressure and emotion pain You're insane You're a fool who hasn't paid attention to a word that I say In a way I can't help but feel responsible I always knew that you were insane With your pain But I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passe (x3) Ahhh... So passe nowaday You never thought you'd get addicted just be cooler in an obvious way I can say shouldn't you have got a couple piercings and decided maybe that you were gay In a way I can't help but feel responsible I always knew that you were insane With your pain But I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passe (x3) Ahhh... Heroin is so passe (x3) Ahhh... Hey.

EVERY DAY SHOULD BE A HOLIDAY.
Summertime, if I was getting paid Getting drunk and getting laid I'd grab the phone To call you up and say "Quit your job, cause I've got it made" Anytime baby lets go Every day should be a holiday Supercool, The Dandys Rule OK Got the dole, ain't got the raise* Anytime call me up if you've Got the sun then I've got the waves Anytime baby lets go Every day should be a holiday (x4).

GOOD MORNING.
In my good, good morning I'm up before the sun can burn anything Early morning and everyone like a shining day All my angels appear at my window saying "Good morning, my good morning" In my good, good morning I feel before my thoughts are spread away Am I conscious Or is it my unconscious feeling... no, More like a dream That has gone before my conscious ???? Good morning, my good morning In my good, good morning I'm up before the sun can burn anything Early morning and everyone like a shinning day... No, more like a dream That has gone before my conscious ??? Good morning, my good morning.

WHIPPING TREE.
Have you got me I'm tied up to the whipping tree and I'm not afraid (or a friend) I'm just glad to be in love again Well ??? its grand I'm all alone And I'm nothing if its ??? I feel i'm not man enough to handle steel.

GREEN.
You open the door I let myself in between You and me I only believe what I want to believe I guess its because I'm greener than green Only because I'm green (x2) Only because I'm greener than green I came up to the floor You were dressed just a little obscene And you shot me down quite sexually Like a prude adolescent because I'm greener than green Only because I'm green (x3) Only because I'm greener than green Only because I'm green (x2) Only because I'm greener than green.

COOL AS KIM DEAL.
Heeyyyyy, nothing in my heart I'd rather be cool than be smart Heeyyyyy, what I'm thinking of I'd rather be cool than be loved Here is what I feel Just want a girl as cool as Kim Deal Heeyyyy, Ii thought that you were tough Well I've had it too Had it rough I don't care if I'm wrong Because right always turns into wrong Hhere is what is real Just want a girl as cool as Kim Deal, cool as Kim Deal.
Side Note: If you want to get a live feel of this song, and you are able to change the balance on your speakers, turn it all the way over to the right one, and CRANK IT!!!

HARD-ON FOR JESUS.
Oh yeah Jesus Got me calling And I know, just like I know No way of knowing I've gotta admit I gotta believe Lord of lords and king of kings, Come and set me free (repeat all) Jesus (x9).
