The Faith Healer

You out there in front of me
I think I feel your energy
And light it swallows everyone
I see your face
Can't you feel it now, the arbor tree
What we've made we soon will see
Light it turns to sounds
That make the morning sun

Give me everything you have that keeps you feeling sad
And I will give them back to you restore your soul from rags

I'm a faith healer baby can't you see it in my eyes
Come on give me your hand
I'll bring you happiness forever children, here's where it begins
I am the one for you

Listen now to what I say
Feel the need it goes away
Share yourself with me
And I will set you free

Did you feel that jolt shoot through your soul
No more broken hearts or empty holes
Hands that flow the light of love
Are worth their tolls

Give me everything you have that keeps you feeling sad
And I will give them back to you restore your soul from rags

I'm a faith healer baby can't you see it in my eyes
Come on give me your hand
I'll bring you happiness forever children, here's where it begins
I am the one for you

Lay my hand upon your brow
Happiness is our bond now
See the sun shine through the sky
Don't you worry baby we'll make it right

I'm a faith healer baby can't you see it in my eyes
Come on give me your hand
I'll bring you happiness forever children, here's where it begins
I am the one for you

I'm a faith healer baby can't you see it in my eyes
Come on give me your hand
I'll bring you happiness forever children, here's where it begins
I am the one - I am the one for you

Annie's Gone

I heard the other day
That she went and gone away 
She was always sort of out of step
She couldn't ever be
Something that you couldn't see
She was always there right in your face

Annie's gone
Annie's gone
Annie's gone
It's so dark
It's so dark around here now
Can't believe she's gone away
Can't believe she's gone to stay
But it's true
Annie's gone

I guess she couldn't play
By the rules she had no say
And she did her in this way today
I know I feel like this somtimes
Feel like giving up my mind
But it's all I have and it is mine

Annie's gone
Annie's gone
Annie's gone
It's so dark
It's so dark around here now
Can't believe she's gone away
Can't believe she's gone to stay
But it's true
Annie's gone

Annie's gone....

I Don't Know How To Be Your Friend

I looked at my face this morning
I just couldn't comb my hair
Ate two candy bars for breakfast
Guess I really didn't care
Had to force myself to wake up
I just had to start my day
Didn't want to leave my room
Didn't want to see the things out there

Hope this day won't last too long
Hope that nothing will go wrong
It doesn't take all that much
To bring me back down again

I don't know how to be your friend
I don't know how to be your friend
I don't know how to be your friend

You say that we'll be together
Friends like us don't fade away
But it's been a year or so
I wonder now, where did you go?
I sit on my bed and wonder
Try to figure out my mood
Man, I really hate this morning
And I think I'm hating you

I think about the things that you said
When I felt bad
Did you keep me hanging around
Until you found it?
But you are not nice anymore
So why don't I just find the door
Oh, I-I-I don't know how to be your friend

I don't know how to be your friend....

Shonen Knife

Take us to that place
We don't want your jive, cracker
Take us to that place
'Cuz we're looking for a master
I'm not talking 'bout no Jesus Christ
But I'm sure that he would like it here
Not everyone who comes here
Ask them to stay here
Yes there are some
That we ask to go away
But you are welcome as is Jesus Christ
And I'm sure that you will dig their scene, uh-huh

I must be where I must go
Take me down to Abba Road

Come right in now, enjoy a choco bar
With the Shonen Knife
Yes, the rock and roll stars
Then wash your face at the public bath
Just around the corner, down the bamboo path, uh-huh

I must be where I must go
Take me down to Abba Road

And tonight
I will love everyone tonight
Yes tonight
I will love everyone tonight

I must be where I must go
Take me down to Abba Road

Take me down to Abba Road....

Bubblegum Factory

She knew this day would finally come
She had to find something that would save her
She had been on the edge too long
Until she found something that would escalate her
Soaring high so far above
Maybe even find true love
'Cuz the love she had - the love she knew
Was nothing that you could call true

Take me on a tour of the bubblegum factory
I want to see where love is made
Take me on a tour of the bubblegum factory
I wanna hear those records play

She had found it - it was everything
Just something simple, something simple to sing
To bring her through to the sunshine day
Sugar, sugar made her feel O.K.

All is bright, all is calm
Just a little sweet pea gonna guide us along
A hook with a smile will last us a while
Everybody's happy - there's no denial

Take me on a tour of the bubblegum factory
I want to see where love is made
Take me on a tour of the bubblegum factory
I wanna hear those records play

Come along - there's nothing to it
Sing along - anyone can kick it at the factory

Take me on a tour of the bubblegum factory
I want to see where love is made
Take me on a tour of the bubblegum factory
I wanna hear those records play

I need to hear them play

Where I Am Today

I feel happy - that's where I am today
But when I get sad - I just want to go away
Well I get myself down - I go so low down
It hurts to feel that pain
And it won't happen -'cuz I just won't look that way
But if it starts to catch my eye
If I turn and wonder why these things just seem to be
And why these things just have to be

And I won't look that way today
And I won't see those things today

I used to think that - everyone was the same
Walking around all the time - thinking all the same things
But I know it's not true, just look at you
I can tell your not that way
But I won't worry - like I said, I feel okay
But if I don't feel the same
If I start to go insane - I close my eyes and see
Only things I want to see

And I won't look that way today
I don't know why I feel this way
Just a feeling I have and I don't understand
It's just so hard to say

And this is where I am today
And this is where I am today
And this is where I am today

If I start to go insane - please close my eyes for me
Show me things I want to see
And I won't look that way today
And I won't see those things today
Just a feeling I have and I don't understand
It's just so hard to say

And this is where I am today
And this is where I am today
And this is where I am today
And this is where I am today
And this is where I am today

Just a feeling I have and I don't understand
It's just so hard to say -
'Cuz this is where -
This is where I am
Yeah yeah
And this is where, this is where I am today

Zira (Call Out My Name)

Some people think beauty's only skin deep
But I've got something that you ought to know
Some people think it's in the eye of the beholder
Some people hope they die before they get old
Granted that you stole my eyes
Before you stole my heart
Zira, do you realize
That I can't bear to be apart from you

(Call out my name) You know I will be there
You just call out my name
You know I will be there

If I can't fret then what can I do
My whole world's waiting just to hear from you
I know that one day she'll be mine
(Poor Cornelius) - he'll be crying
So if you ever think of me
And you ever need love, Zira
I promise you the best that you've ever seen
Zira, I never want to see you cry

(Call out my name) You know I will be there
You just call out my name
You know I will be there
(Call out my name) And I'll come running to you
You just call out my name
You know I will be there

Some people think beauty's only skin deep
But I've got something that you ought to know

(You just call out my name) You know I will be there
You just call out my name
You know I will be there
(Call out my name) And I'll come running to you
You just call out my name
You know I will be there

Love Is Not Love

I see you through a fog so dense
Like a sky strained through my mind
Like a very sudden changhe
Someone you left behind
The year the great strike broke out
Fruit rotted on the tres
Fell into stagnent pools
reflections of me

Love- it can be so ugly
It leaves with so much pain
You - I think I loved - Because
Like me your not quite sane

(Love is not love) Give me something I can feel
(Love is not love) Give me love that's so surreal
Tie your chains around me
'Cuz I am sick of being free

The Santa Ana's are blowing tonight
Reminding me of you
You out me on an astral plain
I'm thinking of you
So give to me a little charity
I think I'm feeling down
It's kind of strange how I feel much better
When you're around

Love- it can be so ugly
It leaves with so much pain
You - I think I loved -Because
Like me your not quite sane

And I know - I've lived in this state before
I know the score
Yes I know what it's like - not to tell
Reality from delusion
The solution is
Love is love is love

(Love is not love) Give me something I can feel
(Love is not love) Give me love that's so surreal
Tie your chains around me
'Cuz I am sick of being free

(Love is not love) Give me something I can feel
(Love is not love) Give me love that's so surreal
Tie your chains around me
'Cuz I am sick of being free

Sing it on out
Sing it out
Singing it out

1976

Feels so good to see you here
Nothing ever seems to happen in this place, now
Tomorrow's bright, or so they say
Forget the days of future past, because now it's 1976

Hey there baby, say, what's your sign
I could tell it was the same as mine
Tube top momma nearly six feet tall
She is the fox of the shopping mall
This is the era, this is the time
You know you've got to boogie 'cuz your platforms are fine

Feels so good to see you here
Nothing ever seems to happen in this place, now
Tomorrow's bright, or so they say
Forget the days of future past, because now it's 1976

Afros and apple pie
Camaro sports cars, gasoline lines
Everything is red, white and blue
We hate it here 'cuz there's nothing to do
Until some friends on a space trip
Flew in on the free bird, now can you dig

Feels so good to see you here
Nothing ever seems to happen in this place, now
Tomorrow's bright, or so they say
Forget the days of future past, because now it's 1976

Baby can't you hear it
Baby can't you feel it
Baby got the spirit
Baby can't you hear it
Baby can't you feel it
Baby got the spirit

Feels so good to see you here
Feels so good to see you here
Feels so good to see you here
1976

Feels so good to see you here (Feels so good)
Feels so good to see you here (Just to see you here)
Feels so good to see you here
1976

Feels so good to see you here (I feel good)
Feels so good to see you here
Feels so good to see you here
1976

Debbie & Kim

I ask you "Where am I," you tell me tomorrow
I am confused by this - your patience I must borrow
Well, I ask this horse his name, but he gives me no answer
The girl with golden hair tells me she is a dancer

Tell me when it's three o'clock
Four I've got no time to watch
And can I play their game - ?
I won't get lost - forget my name

Everything happens for a reason
Tell me what else can I say
And I just gotta believe it
And I do - I know it's true

Electric sonic youth directs me towards the sun
Two girls with yellow hair assure me that it's fun
Well one plays bass, and the other one, well, she's the dancer
I fall out of the blue and ask to be their sister

There was magic all around
If I do say so myself
And can I play their game?
I promise not to get lost - I won't forget my name

I'm just looking for a good thing to happen
Something really insane
And I'm just looking for a good thing to come my way
Anything - come today

She waves her flag, the crowd screams "more"
By this time it is the third encore
But they just don't know
They just came to see the show

A standing ovation
Breadwinner... electric bass yeah!

Everything happens for a reason
Tell me what else can I say
And I just gotta believe it
And I do - I know it's true

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

I'm just looking for a good thing to happen
Something really insane
And I'm just looking for a good thing to come my way
Anything - come today
And please - come - today

Elephant Flares

I don't know why she don't comb
Or wash her hair
Well all my friends they all say
There's things in there

I am free and so is she and you are me
And we are altogether - altogether
People say - we'll never change

Her inner light shows and we all go
'Cuz everyone's there
I really like the way she looks in that halter top
And elephant flares

Driving down the highway
In my Trans Am custom T-top car
Hear some Tracy Lea
Playing on the radio - turn it up and go!

Elephant flares with her greasy long hair
No one can stop her - she is all - so don't even try

See her groovy movements, connect with her third eye
A teenage incantation
Some say she is the high priest
Of the confection generation

I am free and so is she and you are me
And we are altogether - altogether
People say -

Driving down the highway
In my Trans Am custom T-top car
Hear some BTO
Playing on the radio - turn it up and go!

Elephant flares with her greasy long hair
No one can stop her - she is all - so don't even try
Elephant flares and her greasy long hair
And she wears round glasses - x-ray eyes that see through your soul

Apples and oranges - are good for you
Don't miss the opening act - Miss Ross and Glue

I said yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)........
