The Circus

Oblivious

Excite Me Much

Unholy river

I

I was a bell jar full of storm
and you a trapping lid
boy you´re such a Nancy boy
so I guess that makes me Sid
In my bed I sleep with many books
and they please me like you never did

// 

Show me slowly
how you stole me
from the deep blue sea
and now you tell me off
you won´t be needing more of me

he says he tried 
but he failed to deliver
and words run right through
me like some 
Unholy river
Unholy river


II

I had a vivid dream I wore a satin dress
barefeet and red lips like Marilyn Monroe
I had an avid man and he had avid hands
and I cried in his face: give me shelter
I cried in his face: keep me warm
or please let me go

//

Show me slowly
how you stole me
from the deep blue sea
and now you tell me off
you won´t be needing more of me

he says he tried 
but he failed to deliver
and words run right through
me like some 
Unholy river
Unholy river

UNHOLY RIVER

Dogeye minute 

I.
It was a street-shark-kiss on the lips
you shoved me up to the wall
you counted 1 2 3 4 
baby yeah you knew I would fall
baby yeah you knew I would fall

II.
Wet with praises and off your face
you with your dogeyes bitten with
my love it´s only minutes ticking 
and all of this will be forgotten
a mouth full of you
is a mouth full of cotton

Chorus:
It was a dogeye minute
then you went awol
can´t call that love innit
now it´s like I never knew you at all (x4)

III.
Cold white tiles I´m gonna stay awhile
barefeet, hurt and dry I´d walk a mile
eye to eye just to say
Hey wasn´t it all just a
Hey wasn´t it all just a

Chorus:
Dogeye minute 
then you went awol
can´t call the love innit
now it´s like I never knew you at all (x4)

Bridge:
An eye for an eye
a kiss for a tooth
a headache, a sunrise
a table for one
now that you´re gone
wasn´t it all just a 
wasn´t it all just a

Chorus:
Dogeye minute 
then you went awol
can´t call the love innit
now it´s like I never knew you at all (x2)

It´s like I never knew you, knew you
At all 
It´s like I never knew you, knew you
At all 
At all.

DOGEYE MINUTE

This is me in Tom Waits mode singing a song meant for a woman to sing, so it has a kinda surreal vibe. Everyone seems to like this one.

 I Wanna Look Good For My Man
Words and music by Jon Colton Barry


I wanna look good for my man
In a string of black pearls from Japan
With the help of Saint Lucia 
And just a little Santeria
Powder, rouge, and perfumed oils
I’ll win the war but he’ll get the spoils

Now, Sarah, she dares me to wear 
That red dress from the Mexican fair
He’ll be here any minute
He ain’t never seen me in it
I’ll tell my man to pull up a chair
You know, use a little savoir-faire

My man is so sweet and handsome 
And he’s never late
Set my watch by the clang of the wrought iron gate
I wanna leap from his cake and eat it too
Oh, baby, do onto others as you’d have them do onto you

I swear I have no master plan
I just wanna look good for my man

So wag your finger at me from above
Say a girl shouldn’t have to work so hard for the man that she love
But I say where have you been?
It’s all the horror and sin
In this ugly world that makes a girl cry
Not how she sparkles in her lover man’s eye
But it looks like you will never understand
Until I start to look good to your man

I wanna look good for my man

Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that…
