I’ve got a Heart of Gold.
I wear it on my sleeve.
Leaving is believing baby
are you coming with me?

Be my girl. Won’t you be my girl?
I’ll be your...

You’re looking kinda bored
and I’m outa this world.
If you’re ready for adventure
you could be my girl.

Do not be amazed
at anything you see.
No more time for hesitation
are you coming with me?

Be my girl. Oh won’t you be my girl?
I’ll be your spaceman.

Do you wanna?
You’re looking kinda bored
like you could use a trip.
Do you want to see my spaceship?

Be my girl. I’ll be your spaceman.

I don’t know how long I’ll love you
I don’t know how long you’ll feel the same
Baby you’re gonna get older
your skin will sag more everyday

oh but don't start feeling sad
not even if I can’t love you like that
‘cause tonight we’ve got something special
so tonight won’t you come out and play.

Those wrinkles are gonna get deeper
and spread all over your face
you’re gonna start seeing grey in the mirror
as you begin to put on weight

You’re knees will ache and your feet will hurt 
and you won’t dance like you can today.
but not yet not yet not yet not yet
so come on come out and play

Now I might lose a tooth or two
and my hair will fade away,
I stoop and shuffle and start to smell
as I grow softer every day

I don’t expect you to love me like that
I’ll never ask you to stay
oh but tonight we’re still young and beautiful 
so come on come out and play

...but the night will grow old much sooner than you
so come on come out and play.

Come Out & Play - Songwriting Challenge Day 8

Songwriting Challenge Day 9 

You’re a Prankster
the custard gangster
the one who brings laughter
with a duty to disobey

disobey

the little cake with all the answers
angering the bankers
& bringing panic to the masters
in a most delicious way.

Prankster  - Songwriting Challenge Day 9

You are beautiful.
I know this though we’ve never met
and though I’ve never seen your face before
I know this for a fact.

‘cause you’ll keep doing the things you do 
and I’ll keep being me.
We’ll keep choosing the paths we choose as we find.

I know we’ll meet in some grand romantic way.
Like an ordinary street or Place

No more beer and no more Jack.
Say goody to the cap'n he ain't comin' back.
No more coffee no mountain dew.
I've got a whole lotta nothin' since she walked through.

I don't know how she did it. I don't care how she did.
She likes to get her way but I'm not giving in.
She said, "you'll be sorry"
She said, "you'll see"
That dirty little witch cast a dry spell on me.

No late nights and no more shows. 
I've got no more cash and holes in my clothes.
No more showers. My sink don't work.
I got a whole lotta nothin since I met her.

I went and I talked to her sister to see what could be done.
She said that if I would kiss her she could protect me from any harm
but my tongue was so swollen,
and my throat was so parched
my mouth was so dry 
that my lips wouldn't part.

I don't know how she did it. I don't care how she did.
She likes to get her way but I'm not giving in.
She said, "you'll be sorry"
She said, "you'll see"
That dirty little witch and her naughty little sister cast a dry spell on me.


Dirty Little Witch

I've got a ghost in the attic. She likes to weep and moan.
I've got a skeleton in my closet. He keeps on rattlin' is bones.
I've got a ghoul in the cupboard. She wont stop shaking her chains.
I've got a zombie in my basement. He planes on eating my brains.

But it's alive baby, Alive!

I've got a man carrying a shovel. He's digging up graves.
There's a man carrying a cross. He says I've got no soul to save.
There's some men around the town. They're stocking up on pitchforks.
And though the thunder has passed us by I still feel a coming storm.

But it's alive baby, Alive!

There's a man on a horse. He says he wants his head back.
If I tell him I've used it he might take mine instead.
There's a mob carrying a torch for me. They're banging at the gate.
And there's a monster in my lab who says he wants a mate.

but it's alive baby, Alive!


The Doctor

I'd love to see some hot full figured girls in bikinis
laughing in the sun as we go tubing down the river
we'd have steamy conversations over vodka martinis
but I don't think that will happen while we're frozen in this blizzard 

The sleet and slush and hail is getting old
grey skies & bitter wind just makes me sadder
I've had it with this wet & icy weather
Fuck the cold fuck the cold
Fuck the Cold

Greener is sweeter in the bottle
greener is sweeter in the cup
greener is sweeter going down
and greener is sweeter coming up

green puke just tastes better
green puke just tastes better
green is the friend that will fill your night with pleasure
green puke just tastes better

Greener is sweeter on your lips
greener is sweeter on your tongue
Greener is softer when we kiss
greener is sweeter  when we oohhh!

green puke just tastes better
green puke just tastes better
green is the friend that will fill your night with pleasure
green puke just tastes better

green puke just tastes better
green puke just tastes better
green is the friend that you need to find your lover
green puke just tastes better

Greener is neater on the table
greener is funner on the floor
greener is filling going down down down
but greener will leave you wanting more

green puke just tastes better
green puke just tastes better
green is the friend that will fill your night with pleasure
green puke just tastes better

green puke just tastes better
green puke just tastes better
green is the friend that you need to find your lover
green puke just tastes better

green puke just tastes better
green puke just tastes better
When green is your friend there’s no need of another...

You're older now than you ever were. 
Is it going like you thought it would? 
Are you paying dues and doing time 
before you can get to livin’ right? 

I learned today the only crime 
that truly matters is killing time. 
‘cause we all might have to die someday I’m told. 
So take those dreams you put on hold 
and either go all in our you can fucking fold, 
‘cause we might not make it out of here alive. 

You said that job would pay the rent. 
Well the money’s gone and the jobs are spent. 
Life's too short to work in line. 
So we’re taking our turn and I’m getting mine. 

We’re bolder now than we ever were 
and we’re doing what you never thought we could. 
Feel that shaking in your boots. 
That’s a train a comin’ you can stay or move. 

I learned today the only crime 
that truly matters is killing time. 
‘cause we all might have to die someday I’m told 
So take those dreams you put on hold 
and either go all in our you can fucking fold, 
‘cause we might not make it out of here alive. 

We might not make it out of here alive.

How To Pick Up Earth Women

Two songs for the holidays. Igor & The Doctor by The Menace from Earth.

Because there are two sides to every story...

IGOR:
There once was a hunchback from Geneva,
who was a wiz with stitches and anesthesia,
but a mistake robbing graves,
that he regrets to this day,
has left him drinking to induce amnesia.

No his master is skilled in dark arts
and inept in matters of heart.
Oh but young Frankenstein
was ahead of his time.
So he made himself a wingman from spare parts.

The villagers they called it a monster.
They threatened to torch the young doctor.
But Vic was a prick
and a cowardly dick
so he sent his creation to be slaughtered.

And the men torched the monster of course
and their wives wept in remorse
because Igor's regret,
that he robbed the grave of a pet,
meant that creature had the cock of a horse.

AND THE DOCTOR:
I've got a ghost in the attic.
She likes to weep and moan.
I've got a skeleton in the closet.
He keeps on rattlin' his bones.
I've got a ghoul in the cupboard.
She won't stop shaking her chains.
I've got a zombie in the basement.
He plans on eatin' my brains.

But it's alive baby, ALIVE!

I've got a man with a shovel. 
He's digging up graves.
There's a man with a cross. 
He says I've got no soul to save.
There's some men around the town. 
They're stocking up on pitchforks.
And though the thunder's passed us by
I still feel a comin' storm.

But it's alive baby, ALIVE!

There's a man on a horse.
He says he wants his head back.
If I tell him I've used it
he might take mine instead.
There's a mob with a torch.
They're banging at the gate.
And there's a monster in my lab
who says he wants a mate.

but it's alive baby, ALIVE!

Igor & The Doctor by The Menace from Earth

The second track from the EP The Menace from Earth Gets Lucky

Adrenalin, sweat, breath, burn and bleed. 
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t hurt me. 
Bloody, broken and bruised, I can’t lose. 

You don’t hit hard enough. 
You can’t hit hard enough. 
Bloody, broken and bruised, I can’t lose. 

I can’t lose, can’t lose, can’t lose, can’t lose.
