Single guy with a high income
Where did all those bucks come from
Right place right time and the right life
The right to rake it in while coal miners die
What's he supposed to do with all that money?
What's he supposed to do with it
Give it to some leftist causes
Like a true Norman Lear-it
Single guy with a high income
20's and 50's stuffed in his bed
Cars to go really really fast in
His old friends are just a bit resentful
Kicking back just gave them L.A. rats
Soon a plot to kill him
Got to spend it all real fast
Single guy with a high income
Paranoid 'bout the third world war
And his shrink just raised her rates, of course
Single guy with a high income
Looking to share his worthless wealth
Looking for love that can't be bought
Looking for the truth like everyone else
Feels real lonely when he's by himself
What's he gonna do with it?

Tiny Broken Leg

Hey Doctor is there any way
You can fix this tiny broken leg so I can walk
Hey there Doctor, is there any way
You can fix this tiny broken leg, broken leg, so I can walk
Walk again
Use the bathroom alone
Jump rope with my friends you see
They're all in the park just waiting for me
Hey Doc is there any way
You can fix my broken leg today
So I can walk
Sleep in my own bed again
Get away from Dad's machine
With his snoring and his stink
Not go to school early
Not sit in class without moving
Not have my lunch brought to me
Hey Doc can you settle my stomach for me
So I can keep down my lunch with all of my medicines
Doc can you settle my stomach for me
So I can keep down my dinner and all of my pain meds

Give me a minute, I don't need all day
To take a little time with my Tipper Gore Picture Book
Give me an hour, that's about all it takes
To travel 'round the world with my Tipper Gore Picture Book
Imagining what it's like to raise daughters with Tipper Gore
Imagine bomb sniffing dogs beneath our door
Save the environment with Tipper Gore
Saving the souls of the young and poor
Give me a day to steal away with my Tipper Gore Picture Book
Give me a night to sit by my reading light with Tipper Gore
Such a beautiful young blonde
She's grown tough and strong in her twilight years
Turns out she didn't really need Prince Albert
Or to get ensnared with the Capitol Hill moms and mistresses
Give me a minute and change
To evoke the iconic name of Tipper Gore
Give me a world
That welcomes back a wayward girl named Tipper Gore

We'll always have the Diner
We'll always have Shrevie, Boogie, Bagel, Model
We'll always have Eddie, Fenwick, Billy, and The Toast
We'll always have the stripper, the waitress, Earl and his menus
We'll always have Carol Heathrow in Boogie's popcorn

Vern's Guitar
02:15

Please don't reach for that guitar, Vern
When Vern's dub stage took a dump
When the sounds weren't right
And the editors not up to snuff
Vern never got upset, he just sat and played guitar
And we'd all gathered and sing:
"Oh Vern! Please don't reach for that guitar, Vern!"
Remember when you said a bad editor was your friend
Because it meant you got to play on your dubbing stage
But Vern, did you know that when the clients saw you play
They knew that fixes must begin, and their patience was wearing thin
So we'd scream...
When Vern's dub stage took a crap
When the sounds weren't right, and the editors were Not All That
Vern never blew his top
He just played his Yamaha
And we all gathered and begged...

May be the worst album I've ever heard
Digital seams in my heart
Analogue screams wailing through the fog
Analogue screams wailing through the fog
May be the worst songs I've ever heard
Digital screams through my heart
Analogue seams in my soul

South Bay Wine Bar

You worked in a wine bar in the South Bay Beaches
Brought in by Mike Love
Just to make a few extra bucks for to put in your hot rod
Jack was an early customer, knocked some Pino back
You gave him a night to remember, so he kept coming back
Then just a few years later he found your Instagram
A photo of Jack crashed out on the floor
Just a temporary man
Just your temporary man
And what color bra did you pick to wear during
Breast Cancer Awareness Week?
What color lipstick, how did you wear your hair?
Long straight and sweet
Exactly as you looked when Jack came off the street
Exactly as you looked when you knocked Jack off his feet
You worked in a wine bar in the South Bay Beaches
Brought in by Mike Love's cousin
Just to make a few extra bucks
Jack was an early customer, knocked some Vino back
Remembered his night to remember, so one more time he came back
Now just a few years later, he found you back on the floor
Fell in love like before

The Ballad of Heisenberg
04:33
|
|||
|
Rough English translation:
The city’s called Duke
The state New Mexico
Amongst the gangsters
Its fame has spread
Because of a new drug
The gringos have created
They say the colour is blue
And it’s of pure quality
That powerful drug
That is circulating in the city
And the people who run the area
Couldn’t stop it
In the square in Duke
They’ve got Tuco and Krazy 8
They killed Tuco
While he was driving his Cadillac
Just before the Americans
Beat up Krazy 8
The cartel’s running hot
Because they weren’t getting respect
They talk about some ‘Heisenberg’
Who controls the market now
No one knows anything about him
Because they’ve never seen him
The cartel’s about respect
And they never forgive
But that guy’s dead already
He just doesn’t know it
Heisenberg’s fame
Has reached Michoacan
They wanted to come from there
To try that crystal meth
That blue stuff
That’s now become international
Now it’s living up to
The name New Mexico
It looks like Mexico
With all the drugs it’s hiding
Except it has a gringo boss
Known as ‘Heisenberg’
The cartel’s running hot
Because they weren’t getting respect
They talk about some ‘Heisenberg’
Who controls the market now
No one knows anything about him
Because they’ve never seen him
From the fury of the cartel
No one has ever escaped
Yes that gringo, he is dead
But he doesn't not know it yet
