Miss'ippi Queen - Star & Micey

Original cover version, Instrumentation and production by Adam Woodard
A  C  G
You're just the girl of my dreams 
        G         F#          C    D    G 
But it seems my dreams never come true 

(repeat)

A                C               G 
I first met you down on Lover's Lane 
      F#          C     D           G 
The birds were insane flapping all about 
A                C     G                F#
Softly you would sing swinging in your swing 
C          D               G 
It wasn't night it wasn't day 


Sleeping underneath your car, watching from afar
snacking on the graveyard.
Fingers pointed down, you were just a frown,
blinded to the bone 
and alone.



Girl Dreams - Beck

 My belly was full of wine
I was not in a stable mind
Well, nine cups you filled
Though some of it spilled
It still did the job more than fine

You just don't know who I am
A sour and vicious man
My mind is in hell, from heaven it fell
And my soul is still on remand

Now little Debbie McClark
She drug me out into the dark
It happened to be
I was too drunk to see
And I yelled out a vulgar remark

You just don't know who I am
A sour and vicious man
My mind is in hell, from heaven it fell
And my soul is still on remand

At midnight, I'm back in my room
Which serves as a drunkard's tomb
And at night in my sleep
I will wrestle my sheets
And in dreams, I'm hummin' this tune

You just don't know who I am
A sour and vicious man
My mind is in hell, from heaven it fell
And my soul is still on remand 

Sour and Vicious Man - Compulsive Gamblers

Just A Dream (La Playita)

baby, won't you marry me?
cuz i'm already in love, you see.
i always just say whatever i want to,
you come see me and i might come see you.

i'm not making sense and i don't care,
i do seem dense, of that i'm aware.
you think you can hit me for admitting i'd have an affair,
i can say what i want, that's only fair.

honey, no way, i'm not mad at you,
but there won't be no more talking, baby, we're through.

arlene's waitin for me, don't you know?
I'm a good man, this ain't no show!

arlene, maybe she'll marry me?
cuz i'm already in love, you see.
i'm not mad at ya, honey, no way!
i'm just sayin, you got hell to pay.

in jest in jest in jest in jest in jest in jest in jest 



In Jest

you might miss my smile
after a while
cuz love doesn't lie
not like goodbye

keep your eye on my eyes
one's wide with surprise
the other squints through defeat
and scolds your deceit

and i'm not the prize
no time for time
apathy's our demise
jealousy was our prime

let me know when you're wise
and i'll retie our ties,
but for now i'm not the prize.

you might notice i try
my heart willing to die
ten times over i've bled
through the sheets on my bed

keep your dreams in my head
we'll remeet there instead.
our insomnia will laugh
as our hope breaks in half.

and i'm not the prize
no time for time
apathy's our demise
jealousy was our prime

let me know when you're wise
and i'll retie our ties,
but for now i'm not the prize.

Not The Prize

i make you look good
as i should
and i smell pretty
boy, you know you need me

came straight from the garden
i beg your pardon
i'm naturally this way
and i'll last for days

soon i'll be dead flowers
then throw me away,
i'm dead flowers
throw me away

keep me in water
i'll be good till the next "her"
proudly display me
so everyone can see

i could use some sunshine
just say that you'll be mine
this vase leaks
but i'll try to last for weeks

then i'll be dead flowers
so throw me away
i'm dead flowers
throw me away
i'm dead flowers
time for your next bouquet
i'm dead flowers
so throw me away

i'm dead flowers
i'm dead flowers
so throw me away

Dead Flowers

I won't be quiet, I won't be quiet.
I've spent my whole life
with a finger to my lips,
burned skin from my fingertips,
let me march to my mantra drum.

I won't be quiet, I won't be quiet.
Too much has happened,
took on my own ship, be my own captain.
Let me anchor my heart in your ears some.

I won't be quiet, I won't be quiet.
Your most hungry moment,
revolution soup to foment.
Warrior of love for yourself, when your voice is ignored for so long.
Fight to get back the broken pieces, tell them they belong.
I don't want my child to think I've got to shut up and be wrong
to get along.

I'm telling everyone. Yes, I am telling everyone.

I won't be quiet, I won't be quiet.
I won't be quiet, I won't be quiet.
Seen not heard.
Quiet, sweet little bird.

No, I won't be quiet. I won't be quiet.


I Won't Be Quiet

you think you stole my soul
it's homebase, your eye's on the goal
don't misunderstand, your ball is your shame,
life's kicking it straight, and i'm still in the game.

you think you tore apart my heart
it's at the end, and you're still at the start,
don't throw up your hands, your feet never went,
life's laid it straight, and i'm still hell-bent.

i think, i think, i think you're gonna sync,
no more, no more, no more on the brink.
cuz i think, i think, i think this hot water's too deep,
go ahead and take the leap, cuz i think
you're gonna sync, you're gonna sink, you're gonna sink
you're gonna sync, you're gonna sink, you're gonna sink

you think you broke me down,
the track is a circle, you're all over town,
don't put on the breaks to avoid a crash,
life's speeding straight, you'll burn into ash.


i think, i think, i think you're gonna sync,
no more, no more, no more on the brink.
cuz i think, i think, i think this hot water's too deep,
go ahead and take the leap, cuz i think
you're gonna sync, you're gonna sink, you're gonna sink
you're gonna sync, you're gonna sink, you're gonna sink
you're gonna sync, you're gonna sink, you're gonna sink


Sink

i let the silence stay
while you sit up inside, my dream's bed.
well, i need you, i dread,
like i need a hole in my head,
but i'll let the silence stay instead.

i'll hold silence's hand
while distance keeps you away.
well, maybe i'll pray
to hold you another day,
but i'll hold silence's hand today.

i'll fold into silence's heart
while you hang on quietly to mine.
well, i won't wait for a sign,
call me up when you feel your spine,
and i'll fold into silence's heart like twine.

i'll let the silence stay,
yeah i'll let the silence stay.
you like it this way,
and we'll be okay.
so i'll let the silence stay,
yeah i'll let the silence stay.

Silence Stay

i'm soft and you're too hard.
your clouds close for rain;
for the sun, mine part.
so i tried. yes, i tried.

but i'm not good enough.
i just don't have the right stuff.
i broke your wings when you live to fly.
i won the war, only to die.
but i tried. yes, i tried.

i fought for love, you loved to fight.
i said good day, you said good night.
but i tried. yes, i tried.
i tried. yes, i tried.
