To make her his own?
Look it up in the yellow pages?
Do a search on the web? No!

What should a girl do to find a boy
To make him her own?
Investigate the local library?
Consult the card catalogue?

Let your fingers do the walking!


[03] BABY'S GOT EYES FOR ANOTHER MAN
My baby's got eyes for another man
And now she don't even wanna hold my hand
I fear that our love may be coming to its final end
Cause baby's got eyes for another man

She's says they're only friends, but I know she pretends
She must think that I just don't see
The way he looks at her and how she looks at him
And the future looks so bad for me


[04] AS LONG STARS ARE ABOVE YOU
Tell me you love me if you do
If I do I will tell you
It's no good to keep your love in
Give it to all women and men, oh

And I will always love you
As long stars are above you

When someone gives you their love
Return it, it will be fun
It's no good to keep your love in
Give it to all women and men, oh


[05] APPETIZERS
Over the years entertaining in America
Has become more and more relaxed
Informal gatherings of family and friends have ensured the popularity of
Quick to prepare and easy to eat
Nibbles and snacks

No fuss impromptu parties are as successful today
As were the long formal dinners of yesteryear
Eating habits, too, have relaxed
Americans love finger food

Perhaps this casual approach to eating
Reflects the pioneer spirit within us
We have also developed a preference for
Certain foods as appetizers
We often eat
Cheese, raw vegetables, seafood
And poultry as snacks
And party foods


[07] LA CIUDAD GRANDE
Quando yo ere hoven
Yo abon done de mi casa
La raja a la ciudad grande
La ciudad grande

Aja yo experienceria muchas cosas
Quando yo ere hoven
Yo abon done de mi casa

Como si a una mujer akien
Mi estrujo en los negocios
Como si a un hombre akien
Mi estrujo en amorar

Pero quando yo erquese a mi casa
Todo era differente?


[08] MAGEE'S FARM
At the muddy ponds
Surrounded by cedars and cow patties
I smoked cigarettes
Stolen one at a time
And filled a strainer with fish
Some bright and others not
By God, I was king
King of all I saw
And that ole farmer chased me off
Waving a shotgun
I was his king too and laughed
As I drug the fishtails across the field

My mother pointed me away from the house
Disgusted by my catch
And I looked at a catfish
Its mouth opening and closing slowly
Saying he was king once too


[09] WATCH
Watch
Watch this
Watch
Watch out!

[10] FALLIN' IN LOVE AGAIN
Fallin' in love again after so many screwups
Time will tell if I passed or failed
Maybe I'll just keep fallin' in love

And when you let me in your heart
You will see
That it's the only place, the only place
The best place for me


[12] FUNCOPTER
Let me get right down to my point
You're the drug for me, I need not go and smoke a joint
I'm happy as a pig and the thing that goes "oink"
Love done hit me in the head, and it made the sound of "doink"

I wanna take you way up up into the sky
I invented a machine in which we both can fly
I got no pilot license, I'm annoyed at every guy
But I know that we can make it if we only try

Come fly away in my funcopter
(Funcopter, funcopter, it's the love doctor)
Come fly away in my funcopter

It's called the funcopter, and it's painted blue and green
Maybe you've seen it too, if only in a dream
In it we can fly up high and not be seen
And if you go up with me, then I know you will believe

You say, what's a funcopter? I've never heard of this
It's a machine that I invented to fill your heart with bliss
Our destination: love, I know we cannot miss
And when we are up in it, perhaps then we will kiss


[13] SO LONG
Well, it's been so long
Since I've had someone to love me
So long, so long
I have been waiting for you

And it's been some time
Since I've had someone to hold me
So long, so long
I have been waiting for you

And I was so lonely
Well, I didn't know what to do 'til I found you, and
You changed everything
Yeah, you made me sing
Made me sing songs about why I'm so happy now

Now those days are gone
Goodbye to the sad and lonely
So long, so long
I have been waiting for you


[15] FLOWER STOMPING
Underneath hungry woodsmen
Hunting through starched dry open meadows
Full of the sun's angry heat
Flowers, unnerved, respond softly
With foreign tongues
Only missing subtitles
Stomp, clomp
Each flower tries dodging boots
Pleading the case to God
Millennia ago
Sitting unbiased, blind
Holding loosely a flower's fate
And smiling the whole time
Not exactly concerned with
How it turns out
Watch as the woodsmen trample
So sadly across subtle variations
Going unnoticed and uncared for
Stomping flowers
[16] WHY SHOULD I LOVE YOU
I am stuck here with a bottle of beer, and I love you
You have been gone with him far much too long and I care

Why should I love you?
Asthma chazza doo, I wanna sing
Why should I love you
Yeah, uh-huh, alright, come on

Nobody told me that you could be cold so I loved you
Just how you talked to me, just how we walked as a pair

Why should I love you?
Now you're never true, I wanna sing
Why should I love you
Yeah, uh-huh, alright, come on

Every night of lies I wanna cry
Fallng, my friend
She won't compromise, I wanna die
Suicide won't do, so

I'll go away so you can't hear me say that I love you
Then you will see what it's like without me in your hair
