Upside Down (Winter US Limited Edition Maxi Single; Past The Mission UK Ltd. Ed. Pt. 1; Bliss US CD Maxi)

 
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
God I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise
Chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be
Still comin out of my mother
Upside down
Don't you love to turn this
Little blue girl upsidedown
I know you love to turn this
Little blue girl baby upside down
But my heart it says you've been
Shatter shatter shatter shatter shattered
And I know you're still a boy
Still comin out of your mother
But when you gonna stand on your own?
I say the world is sick you say
Tell me what that makes us darlin'
You see you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say baby what have you been smokin
Well I dreamed I dreamed I dreamed
I loved a black boy
My daddy would scream
Don't you love to turn this
Little blue girl upside down
Any kind of touch I think is better than none
Even upside down
But you see I'm tangled up
Got a kitten in my hair
Cincinnati - I like the word
It's the only thing we can't seem to turn
Upside down
Well I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm O.K. when everything is not O.K.
Don't we love to turn our
Little Blue world upsidedown
Don't we love to turn our
Little blue world baby upsidedown
Inside my head a voice
Chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter and it says girl you're all the same
Still comin out of your mother
Still comin out of your mother
Ipside down

The Pool (Winter US Limited Edition Maxi Single)
 

one with her hands
open
"Don't Be afraid" she said
"No one will know it -
just you and me"
And when it's over
I'll go back
 
 

Take To The Sky (Winter US Limited Edition Maxi Single)

 
This house is like Russia
with eyes cold and grey
you got me moving in a circle
I dyed my hair red today
I just want a little passion
to hold me in the dark
I know I've got some magic
buried deep in my heart yeah
but my priest says
you ain't savin no souls
my father says
you ain't makin any money
my doctor says
you just took it to the limit
and here I stand
with this sword in my hand
you can say it one more Time
What you Don't Like
Let me hear it 1 more time then
have a seat while I
take to the sky
 

My heart is Like the Ocean
it gets in the way so
Close to touching freedom
then I hear the guards call my Name
if you don't like me just a little
Why Do you hang around
there she goes again
wearing those purple panties
there she goes again
wearing her heart
there she goes again
Why do you take it
 

 
Sweet Dreams (Winter US Limited Edition Maxi Single)

 
"Lies everywhere"
said the father to the son
you're peppermint breath
gonna choke him to death daddy
watch your little black sheep run
he's got knives in his back
everytime he opens up
you say "he gotta be strong if
he wants to Be a man" mister
I don't know how you can have
Sweet dreams
Land land of liberty we're run
by a constipated man
when you live in the past
you refuse to see
when your daughter comes home
9 months pregnant with 5 billion points of light
gonna shine them on the face of your friends
they've got the earth in a sling
the world on her knees
they've even got your zipper
between their teeth
Sweet Dreams
 
You say you have 'em
I say that you're a liar
go on and dream
your house is on fire
 
Well well summer wind
been catching up with me
"elephant mind missy you don't have
you're forgettin to fly darlin
when you sleep"
I got hazy lazy susan
takin turns all over my dreams
I got lizards and snakes
runnin through my body
funny how they all have my face
Sweet Dreams

 

Sugar (China UK Single; Live: Hey Jupiter EP; to venus and back)

 
Don't say morning's come
don't say it's up to me
if I could take twenty five minutes
out of the record books

Bobby's collecting bees
and hammers, he used one on me
cold wars with little boys
get in with the bubble gum trade

I know the robins bring
bring me many things but
Sugar
He brings me sugar
as far as I can tell
I've been gone for miles now

and I know, and you know
if they found me out
 
Sugar
he brings me sugar
I know the robins bring
they bring me many things but
Sugar

[added when sung live:]
sweet honey when they find you out
tell me what you think they'll do
when they find you out
when they find out you're just sugar
 
 
Flying Dutchman (China UK Single)
 

Hey kid, I've got a ride for you
they say your brain is a comic book tattoo
and you'll never be anything
what will you do with your life
oh, that's all you hear from noon till night
 
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight
 
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
flying Dutchman, are you out there?
flying Dutchman
 
Straight suits, they don't understand
she tried, that one with the alligator boots
but the other side drew her in
heart falling fast when she left
even the milky way was dressed in black
 
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight
 
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
flying Dutchman, are you out there?
flying Dutchman
 
'cause they can't see what you're born to be
they can't see me
they can't be what they can't believe
they can't see what you see
 
They keep the boys spinning in their own little world
tie him up and so he won't say a word
they keep the boys spinning in their own little world
so afraid he'll be what they never were
 
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
and he's out of sight
 
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
flying Dutchman, are you out there?
flying Dutchman
 
'cause they can't see
'cause they can't see
'cause they can't see
are you still out there?
 
 
Humpty Dumpty (China UK Single)
 

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great big fall, and
all the king's horses and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together again

he said
Anything
she said
Up there, baby,
 
Get on the wall, babe
 
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
looked at her as he was falling, and
all the king's horses and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together again
 
hey, Betty Louise
hey, Betty Louise
she said I like custard in the summer, honey
oh yeah, what it takes to be Queen
hey, what it takes to be Queen
what it takes to be...
 
 
Here. In My Head (Crucify UK Single)
 

In my head I found you there
and running around and following me
boy you don't, oh, dare now
but i find that i have now
more than i ever wanted to
 
So maybe Thomas Jefferson
wasn't born in your backyard
like you have said, and
maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
when she has left you
 

There you all here in my head
and running around and calling me
come back,
I'll show you the roses and brush off the snow
and open their petals again and again
and you know that apple green ice cream
can melt in your hands I can't, so
I, I held your hand at the fair
and even forgot what time it was
and even Thomas Jefferson
wasn't born in your backyard
like you have said, and
maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
when she has left you
and me here alone on the floor
you're counting my feathers as the bells toll
you see the bow and the belt
and the girl from the south
all fav'rites of mine, you know them all well
and spring brings fresh little puddles
that makes it all clear makes it all...
Hey do you know?
Hey
Do you know
What this is doing to me?
Oh, here
Here
Here
Here in my head
 

Mary (Crucify UK Single)

 
Ev'rybody wants something from you
ev'rybody want a piece of Mary
lush valley all dressed in green
just ripe for the picking
 
God I want to get you out of here
you can ride in a pink Mustang
when i think of what we've done to you
Mary, can you hear me?
 
Growing up isn't always fun
they tore your dress and stole your ribbons
they see you cry, they lick their lips
but Butterflies don't belong in nets
 
Oh Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
we're just waking up
and I hear help is on the way
 
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind
even the wind cries your name
 
Ev'rybody wants you sweetheart
ev'rybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pinup girl
they got her armed as they buy and sell her
 
Rivers of milk running dry
can't you hear the dolphins crying?
what do we do when our babies scream?
fill their mouths with some acid rain
 
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
we're just waking up
and I hear help is on the way
 
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind
even the wind cries your name
 
Oh butterflies don't belong in nets
 
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
we're just waking up
and I hear help is on the way
 
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'cause even the wind
even the wind cries your name
cries your name
cries your name
cries your name
 
 
Ode To The Banana King (Part 1) (Silent All These Years UK Limited Edition Single)
 
Turning back ten thousand years
it's all a blur the taxis go
monster man a willing friend
Lucy serves the melon cold
 
Violent and delicious souls
four red trucks dressed illegally
Mother knows how the bugle blows
gonna get caught, gonna get caught
gonna get caught in her rug babe
 
This is not a conclusion
no revolution
just a little confusion
on where your head has been
 
Boats made out of paper float
dreams made up for the banana king, Darling
crumbs you have lapped freely of
devious we all have been
 
Violent and delicious souls
 
This is not a conclusion
no revolution
just a little confusion
on where your head has been
 
 
Song For Eric (Silent All These Years UK Limited Edition Single)
 

I wait all day for my sailor and sometimes he comes
see you over hill and dale
riding on the wind I see
you know me, you know me like the nightingale
"Oh fair maiden I see you standing there"
will you hold me for just a fair time
the tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
fair boy your eyes haunt me
 
 
Sister Janet (Cornflake Girl US Maxi Single)
 

Master Shamen I have come
with my dolly from the shadow side
with a demon and an Englishman
I'm my mother
I'm my son
nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade
 
All the angels all the wizards black and white
are lighting candles in our hands
can you feel them touching hands before our eyes
and I can even see sweet Maryanne
 
Sister Janet you have come
from the woman clothed with the sun
your veil is quietly becoming none
call the Wanderer he has gone
and all those up there are making it look so easy
with your perfect wings
a wing can cover all sorts of things

 

Home On The Range (God US Maxi Single)
[With Cherokee Addition]
 

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day
 
Home, home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and skies are not cloudy all day
 
Well Jackson made deals
a thief down to his heels
had a long trail of tears
the Smokies could hide Cherokee bride
her brave was shot yesterday
 
Home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and skies are not cloudy all day
 
Mmm, We know it's not Caroline
your home is your home
the range may be fine
for some but not in my eyes
 
Home on the range
the Smokies always hide
Cherokee bride but in her eyes
we know it's not Caroline
 
yeah, America
hey, America
oh, who discovered your ass?
 
The white man came
"This land is MY Land
this is your land" they sang
 
Home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day
and the skies are not cloudy all day
and the skies are not cloudy all day
 
 
Daisy Dead Petals (Cornflake Girl US Maxi Single)
 

Daisy dead petals, that is her name
she's in the phone booth phase so
underneath the shade of a peppermint tray
she can turn it out with a heal on
she just rides into town
knowing what they'll say
knowing they're around the corner
got a crack in
got a crack in some strange places
 
Daisy dead petals, that is her name
so maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid, well
these dead petals, honey, brought me here
she said, these dead petals, honey, brought me here
 
Dancing on a dime
hearing mother cry
maybe she's a-round the corner
got a crack in
got a crack in some strange places
on my back with
on my back with some dirty dishes
 
Falling down, falling down
all over the river
falling down, falling down, falling down
wish what I'm feeling could go on like this forever
falling down, falling down, falling down
 
And since we're down might as well stay
might as well fry some eggs
and wave to the shade of the peppermint tray
she's a new friend not a skeleton
to ride into town knowing what they'll say
knowing she tastes like a hamburger made but
these dead petals, honey, brought me here
She said, these dead petals, honey, brought me here
said these dead petals, honey, brought me here
 
 
Honey (Cornflake Girl US Maxi Single ; Live: Hey Jupiter EP)
 

A little dust never stopped me none
he liked my shoes I kept them on
sometimes I can hold my tongue
sometimes not when you just
skip-to-loo my darlin
and you know what you're doin' so don't even
 
You're just to used to my honey now
you're just to used to my honey
 
And I think I could leave your world
if she was the better girl
so when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker
cause I'm not sure
what you're doin or the reasons
 
You're just too used to my honey now
you're just too used to my honey
 
Don't bother coming down
I made a friend of the western sky
don't bother coming down
you always like your babies tight
 
Turn back one last time
love to watch those cowboys ride
but cowboys know cowgirls ride
on the Indian side
 
And you know what you're doing
so don't even
 
 
Black Swan (Pretty Good Year UK Pt. 2; Australian)
 

Ride on, ride on

maybe I'll grow up to be quite as good as he,
and maybe you'll come back after you're long gone.
and Poppa I'm sure the worms have eaten you now
and Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
and now I'm pretty sure that I listened to every word
cause I still hear you telling me still
slap them boys when they're naughty
make them crawl, make you haughty
make you strong little girl
you paint them toes that reddish color
and you know one day you're gonna be bigger than a flea
you're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree
 
now I'm pretty sure that I think you come and visit
and talk sometimes kind of like Gidget and
in funny little chants like an Indian Brave
you said we all grew fat when the white men came
but one day girl

make them grow tall but have the grace
to be a lady with disgrace
you fry them 'taters and you make them with lady's hands and all
you're my poppy's baby

begged on my knees on your back door
only to wake you to blues on the way
blues on the way

Don't think I'll be going as fast as I came.

alter that altar
make it a play
somebody invent the telephone line

make it a play
somebody just
somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my chances

Purple People (Christmas In Space) (Spark US Single / Spark US Maxi / UK Pt. 1; to venus and back)


Well, hey, do you do judo when they surround you?
A little mental yoga, will they disappear?
It's grim but never dubious as motives go
No matter what it takes, she promises a show

Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
For her
For you
For me

I watch me be this other thing and never know
If I'm marooned all where the purple people go
Then lily-white matricide from vicious words
It doesn't leave a scratch, so therefore, no one's hurt

Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
For her
For you
For me

And on and on, the nurses make it clear
Just when you escape, you have yourself to fear
A restaurant that never has to close
Breakfast every hour, it could save the world

So, hey, do you do judo in your finery?
An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly

Thunder wishes it could be the snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
For her
For you
For me
Ahh-la, ah-ha
For her, for her, mmm


Bachelorette (US CD Maxi / UK Pt. 1)


Bachelorette
You come around us and you bat your eyes
You can turn dust into champagne
You even dream about his name

Bachelorette
The graves are painful, pain for bachelorettes
You tried to shove him, but he can
But you can never rush your man
You must remember
You're a car, girl
You're a star, girl
You are at the door
The tide will turn
There's a window
There's a window

Yeah, mmm
You climb around us, and you mmm them
You tried to shove him, but he can
But you can never rush your man
You know, say

Bachelorette
The things you do, girls, to your bachelorettes
You thought that mmm, and light it isn't
But I lie-di-di-di-died
You must remember
You're a car, girl
You're a star, girl
You are at the door
The tide will turn
There's a window
There's a window

Bachelorette
You fly along, oh, and you cry sometimes
There's nothing like it in the world
You'll go to Paris on your own
Oh, just
Bachelorette
You climb all over them, you bachelorette
You can turn dust into champagne
You even yi-di-di-di-di-di-di-di, i, i...
<laughter> sorry...


Cooling (UK Limited Edition Single; to venus and back)


Maybe I didn't like to hear
But I still can't believe Speed Racer is dead
So then I thought I'd make some plans
But fire thought she'd really rather be water instead

And Peggy got a message for me
From Jesus
And I've heard every word
That you have said
And I know I have been
Driven like the snow

This is cooling (This is cooling)
Faster than I can
This is cooling (This is cooling)
Faster than I

But do I hate what she is
Or do I want to be her?
And don't we love something fresh?
Anything new
Virgin
Woman, you got too many brambles
Hanging onto these bushes
Woman, you got too many brambles
But I always liked a good storm
Always good for a storm, ahhh

So then love walked up to like
And said "I know that you don't like me much,
Let's go for a ride."
This ocean is wrapped around that pineapple tree
And is your place in heaven worth giving up these kisses?
These kisses, these kisses

And Peggy got a message for me
From Jesus
And I've heard every word
That you have said
And I know I have been
Driven like the snow
But this is cooling (This is cooling)
Faster than I can
This is cooling (This is cooling)
Faster than I can
Cooling, hey (This is cooling)
This is cooling
This is cooling


Merman (No Boundaries Benefit Album)


Go to bed, the priests are dead
Now no one can call you bad
Go to bed, the priests are dead
Finally you're in Peppermint Land

He's a merman
He doesn't need your voice
He's a merman

Go to bed, dream instead
And you will find him
He's a merman eternally
Doesn't need something you're not willing to give
He's a merman
Doesn't need your voice to cross his lands of ice

Go to bed, the priests are dead
Now no one can call you bad
Go to bed, the priests are dead
Finally you found him - lala la
Who could ever say you're not simply wonderful?
Who could ever harm you?

Sleep now
You're my little girl

Go to bed, the priests are dead
And go singin' low again
Go to bed, past the apple orchard
And you'll feel nice
Two can play, I said, two can play


Never Seen Blue (Jackie's Strength US CD Single)


Some boy you are
To take me by the hand
Through an elevator
Got a little red light that tells you boy
Where the razor's been

And you said girl if you think
You can turn that violator
You'll finally be that woman, yes
Finally be that woman
That's been frozen in that
Pretty silver girl, yes


And I've never seen blue
Like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
I said I've never seen eyes
Like the blues he drives
In and around
And through me again
Through me again
Through me again


Some boy you are
To wear my color red
To wear it very proudly
Wear it like the lady knows
How to cross the legs where the purdy's been

I've never seen blue
Like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Said I've never seen eyes
Like the blues he drives
In and around and through me again
Through me again
Through me yes



Beulah Land (Jackie's Strength US CD Single)


Beulah Land
got a wasted gun
Licorice man (some you are)
sometime got something
you're not sayin'

Beulah girl, you better hitch me up  

got some candy
and a sweet saying:

give me religion and a lobotomy.
Beulah land
your beautiful home
tell me when
I don't need you anymore
and said that
somewhere you're gonna get
something
you're so, you're right in the middle
and then I'm you,
something
is coming back again I said you,
maybe I don't
wanna go to where you're not  

So Beulah land
gonna find me a warm place to bathe
this body on down

got a rubber boat
and a crocodile

gonna float past your home
 
say when
just say when

just say
when
