Ron Fowler with Paul Revere at the King County Fair in Enumclaw, July 1995
TALES TO HERE
you tell me about this and that, who's gettin' skinny and who's gettin' fat
who's comin' in, and who's goin' out
your silly gossip makes me wanna shout
I don't believe what you say to me, but I believe what my eyes can see
(v 2)
I hear ya talkin' back and forth, who's goin' south and who's goin' north
who's dumpin' who and who's makin' up
seems to me that you never shut up
I don't believe what you say to me, but I believe what my eyes can see
too much gossip I've had tales to here, and I don't need any more
(v 3)
I'm leavin' town, I'm headin' south
cause Ican't stand to hear your lyin' mouth
noise pollution of the worst kind, creepin' in and hurtin' my mind
I don't believe anything you say, too many lies gettin' in the way
too much gossip I've had tales to here, and I don't need anymore
guitar solo
I don't believe what you say to me, but I believe what my eyes can see
too much gossip I've had tales to here, and I don't need anymore
don't need it!
shut your mouth!
HEIDI
she tries to act tough and be so cool, the kind of girl that breaks every rule
drinks a lot of vodka till it gets her drunk, smokes till she stinks just like a skunk
she scares away most every guy, but deep inside she's really shy
(v 2)
speeds down the road, pumpin' the pedal, the radio blastin' heavy metal
she's doin' sixty down the city block, she's goin' deaf from all the heavy rock
she frightens everyone she does meet, but deep inside she's really sweet
bridge
she's hiding her broken heart under a disguise
I see the pain and loneliness in her eyes
what can I do for her, there's got to be a way
to reach the little girl inside and take the hurt away
(guitar solo)
(repeat bridge)
I took her out Friday night for a date, when we were alone I didn't hesitate
I moved in close to hold her tight, but she just turned away in fright
I said "I don't wanna commit no crime", she said "you better just take your time"
SUMMERTIME LOVE
I remember the first time I saw her
years ago, it seem like one big blur
except the memory of that girl
and the feeling of love
(v 2)
vacationing over on the coast
camping out, the thing I enjoyed the most
in the rain forest, camping overnight
take a hike, in the midday light
I met her there one day
and though I knew that we could not stay
chorus
I couldn't help but fall in love
couldn't help but fall in love
lived a dream for a day
then we went our own way
(v 3)
I remember a time when love was new
innocent, I felt it could be true
saw a girl, who moved in across the street
prayed for the day when we would meet
became her friend and my heart did fly
until she met some other guy
disappointment followed me around
couldn't smile, cause I felt so down
(guitar solo)
(repeat chorus)
just a boy, maybe nine or ten
infatuated, but it had to end
the little girls always got away
I couldn't seem to make them stay
the little girls that I met
gave me memories I can't forget
HERE COME THE TWO RF'S
(chorus)
here come the Two RF's
here come the Two RF's
here come the Two RF's
here come the Two RF's
here come the Two RF's
here come the Two RF's
they're gonna catch you criminals
have you put away
they're gonna catch you criminals
at least today
put you out of your lousy jobs
suffer with no pay
(repeat chorus endlessly)
WORK FOR THE MONEY
work hard for them now, give up your soul
forget about your people, money is your goal
Work when they tell you, all day and all night
just follow orders, though nothing is right
(chorus)
you don't need friends, or family ties
just work for the money, hear all the lies
you won't get help, encouragement, no
just work for the money, work for the dough
v
forget about your children, forget about your wife
cause when you work for us, you have no personal life
work every weekend, all day and all night
do what we tell you, though nothing is right
(repeat chorus)
(spoken) if you miss the next meeting, I'll have to let you go
we'll screw up your schedule, then yell when you don't show
we'll take away your self-respect, BOW DOWN TO ME!
if you're really good I'll give you, a "Prome" CD
WAR GAMES
blow the suckers heads off
then the world will all be free
from the psycopathic leaders
and we'll show it on tv
where will be the next one
got to have another war
flex a little muscle
just to kill a couple more
chorus
is this a game? is this a toy?
are you to blame? who killed the oy?
who set him over there?
(v 2)
blow the suckers heads off
then kill a million more
mama sees her baby
in a paper at the store
politicians call the numbers
send the children off to war
in the middle of the desert
just to kill a couple more
(repeat chorus)
(guitar solo)<>soldiers standing in the rubble
of a village they destroyed
got to cause a lot of troule
when the leaders get annoyed
it's like a Hollywood movie
to the president back home
but if the bad guys win
he'll switch to writing poems
(repeat chorus)
EARTHQUAKE
the ground is gonna shake and people gonna panic
the whole crazy planet will be goin' really manic
this is the big one, arrived a little late
now the siesmologists tell us, this will be a nine point eight
first chorus)
earthquake, the city ceased to function
earthquake, so much destruction
(v 2)
the man standin' next to me, he just stops and stares
we're all gonna die, so you better say you're prayers
lose all posessions, there's nothing left to save
doesn't really matter, when you'll soon be in your grave
(second chorus)
earthquake, rumbin' through the junction
earthquake, so much destruction
(bridge)earthquake's gonna shake you up, tornadoes gonna blow you away
volcanoes gonna erupt, mother nature got to have her way
(v 3)
no time to think, about all the loss
in the middle of all, this confusion and chaos
might as well face it, this is the end
no time to wait, for your family or friend
(repeat first chorus)
(second bridge)
rivers risin' high to flood, roll on to that dreadful day
destruction, rain and blood, nobody can get away
from the earthquake
get ready for the earthquake
here comes the earthquake
get ready for the earthquake
ow!
