My Funny Little Thing By Baxter Billious Quartet

I picture you
In the early morning half-light
In the evening when it’s twilight
When the clouds are cold and grey

I picture you
At the bottom of a coal mine
Under rocks where the star-shine
Can’t illuminate your face

I picture you in plumes of smoky fumes
On a crowded avenue
What good’s a view if you refuse to move
Step out of the vista
You’ll ruin the picture

Because it’s true
No one ever said you’re lovely
The fact is you are simply ugly
In a disarming sort of way.

I squint at you
Through my peepers that are half-closed
Cos believe me even God knows
There’s no one uglier than you

I picture you in plumes of smoky fumes
On a crowded avenue
What good’s a view if you refuse to move
Get out of the picture
You’ll ruin the vista

What can I do?
Yes, it’s cruel but stop your bawling
You’ll set my skin to start a crawling
Every time I picture you!

Every Time I Picture You by Baxter Billious Quartet

Castles & Queens
You’re only 17
He’s got you running ‘round in rings
Standing in a doorway
For the pleasure of his friends
You want to run away
But you cannot stand the pain
And you lose all your faith in the world
You lose all your faith in the world
You’re so frightened inside
But the tears cannot hide
The most beautiful face in the world
The most beautiful face in the world

Do you remember days
When you were never so afraid?
Locked up in a tower
’Til your prince came to your aid
Pictures from a storybook and
Visions of your own
The most beautiful place in the world
The most beautiful place in the world
Do you remember your dreams of
Castles & queens
The most beautiful place in the world
The most beautiful place in the world

You’re only 17
They take away all you believe
Standing in a subway for
The heroin you need
You want to hide away
But it doesn’t help the pain
And you’re losing your place in the world
Losing your place in the world
You can’t change how you feel
But you want to reveal
The most beautiful face in the world
It’s so strange how you feel
But you want to reveal
The most Beautiful face in the world
The most beautiful face in the world
The most beautiful face in the world
