BEST THING I EVER HAD

Yeah, Blues
I won't ask where you're going
If you don't ask where I've been
'Cause if you're looking for an answer, babe
I wouldn't know where to begin

I don't know what I want sometimes
But I sure know what I likes
You've got that thing about you
Gets me hot inside

If it makes no sense
When I wrote this song
Cause half way through it
You were turning me on

First Chorus:
Lay me down
I just might be your kind
I'll show you a better way
We can do away the time
If you stop looking so hard
I think you just might find
I ain't finding it so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had

You know a little 'bout love
I know alot about hate
I believe you gotta make things happen
You believe in fate

But it won't be the first time we didn't see eye to eye
You may not be religious
But I'll make you see God
If ya give me a try

I know love can get me through it
Just give me that look, we'll get down to it

Second Chorus:
Don't shoot me down
I'm not a social disease
You got that thing about you
Bring a grown man to his knees
I'll teach you, baby
'Bout the birds and them bees
When you get around and think about
It ain't so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had
Best thing I ever had

SOLO

Give me some of that

When I put out the dog
Get them old ghosts out of bed
I ain't lookin' for a little to say
Baby some place to lay my head

I'm the one to right your wrong
Just give me a chance and I'll turn you on

FIRST CHORUS
SECOND CHORUS
SHUT UP, MAKE LOVE

Drop the bass
Do ya like that?


Shit piled up to your knees
Her old man thinks
You're a social disease
Dog pissed on the floor, left a stain
Your old lady's naked
Driving you insane
She stopped taking the pill
Then left you
And sued you for a mil
You've got your problems, boy
Set them free

Can't find a good wife
Can't find a good job
Can't find the keys to my car

I lost my dog
I lost my brain
I lost my girl to a big movie star

Now I'm standing at the crossroads
Trying to find my way home
But the truth is baby, I'm so
Lonely, lonely, lonely
Sometimes I'd

CHORUS:
Just like to jump in and
Get me some funky
When push comes to shove
You talk too much
And way too rough
How 'bout we both shut up and let's make love

I'm home hangin'
The walls Bangin'
It's the neighbors next door

They're talking trashy
or doing the nasty
They keep me up until four
So they keep on going more and more
I hear and saw
Lord I'm half crazy

I gotta get some of that
In and out and in and out
and in and out

CHORUS

When the clothes start flying
There's no denying
Gotta get me some funky
Good, good funky

Your blood starts pumping
Baby, I think we're on to something
Here, oh, right here
Oh just give me a little bit of loving

SOLO

It sounds so simple
I bring the ripple
What's your state of mind?
How 'bout we drink
Get drunk
Fall down into a big flesh pie

CHORUS

I got a plan, yes indeed
You need a flower, I'll be the seed
Skip your lip and all the politics
Baby, shut up and let's make love

It would sound like this
Ahh, stop
Alright
BABY GETS AROUND A BIT

I can't say I ain't been around
That I ain't done my time
Seems like this big old world
Has been one big shoe to shine
But I never ever took a dime
For what comes naturally
And if I never knew the truth
Then she'd be fine with me

One night she stayed over here
And left her little black book behind
Well that little black book ain't little no more
And it wasn't too hard to find

CHORUS:
She'd leave me in this lonely room
The thought just makes me sick
It's funny how the pieces fit
My baby gets around a bit

Her pager would ring, it's a funny thing
She'd have to go right away
She always had a wad of cash
Much more than her job could pay
I'd ask her where she's going to
And this is what she'd say
I gotta meet someone for an interview
He's only in town today

Always a little bit over dressed
Much more than I thought she'd be
High heel shoes and day glow dress
Ain't seem strange to me

She'd leave me in this lonely room
While some stud got his sex
Just then the thought occured to me
My baby gets around a bit
My baby gets around a bit
Oooh, my baby gets around a bit

SOLO

Took her to the local bar
Where I like to hang
Every guy that passed her by
They all seemed to know her name

They all called her by a different name
And one of them winked at me
Some guy named Stan said
You're the man,
I hear you get it for free

She'd leave me in this lonely room
And the thought hit me like a brick
It's funny how the pieces fit
My baby gets around a bit
Oooh, my baby gets around a bit
Oooh, my baby gets around a bit
My baby gets around a bit

My baby gets around...
My baby..
COVER OF THE ROLLING STONE

Coughing
"Gol, Bret, don't touch me there!"
"I'm gonna tell you who we are"


Well we're big rock singers
We got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
That sounds like us

We sing about beauty
And we sing about truth
At ten million dollars a show
Yeah, right!

We take all kinda pills
That give us all kinda thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that it gets ya
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

CHORUS:
Rolling Stone
I'm gonna see my picture on the cover
Stone
Gonna buy five copies for my mother
Stone
Gonna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

I got a freaky old lady named Cocaine Katie
Who embroiders on my jeans
I got my poor old grey haired daddy
Driving my limousine

Now it's all designed to blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll get ya
When you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

CHORUS

Hey, I know how!

SOLO

Beautiful

We got a lot of little teenaged
Blue eyed groupies
Who do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian Guru
He's teaching us a better way

We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
And we keep gettin' richer
But we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

Chorus

I don't know why we ain't on the cover, baby!
Ah, we're beautiful fellas!
I ain't kidding you man, we'd make a beautiful cover
I mean I can see it right now, we be up front
Oh, we be smilin', beautiful
BE THE ONE

So you want to talk about the pain
Talk to me, please explain
Maybe I know what you're going through

You got so much pain to hide
You keep it lock up deep inside
In a room noone gets to

I can't feel the way you feel
Maybe I, I've got those same scars, same scars to heal
Wish you've got to understand
I want to be the only man to
Ever touch you, baby
To ever...

CHORUS:
I'll be there should the sun go down
Lift you up to a higher ground
Let me in, let me be the one
I'll be there should you fall from grace
Wipe those teardrops from your face
I see no more damage done
Baby, baby
Just let me be the one

I want to be the one to shelter you
Should the rains come down
Never let you drown
I'll pull you through

I want to hear you when you scream
Be your prince when you dream
Hold you close when you cry

I said
I want to feel your love, your hate
Should you be lost, I'll bear your cross of pain
Love seal your fate
I'll comfort you in fits of rage
I'll be the book and you can turn the page, and
I'll still love, baby
I'll still...

CHORUS

I gotta touch you, I'll see no more damage done
You gotta let me

SOLO

I hear the hurt, I hear the scars
You can lay your right hand down across my heart
Then you'll learn to understand
I want to be the only man to
Ever touch you, baby
Ever touch you, baby
Ever...

CHORUS

I'll be calm in fits of rage
Hold you close in times of pain
I see no more damage done
Baby, baby, you got to let me be the one
MR. SMILEY

I heard a funny thing about me
Lately I've been living on the edge
I won't say that ain't true
But who the hell are you
I don't recognize my own face or my friends

CHORUS:
Hey, Mr. Smiley
Read the writing
on the wall
Wake up, Mr. Smiley
Before you don't wake
up at all, up at all

Today I hired me a yes man
He simply agrees with everthing I say
He does all my dirty deals
And feeds me my pills
As long as I'm still breathing
He gets paid

CHORUS
SOLO

Yesterday I had a conversation
With all them voices in my head
One said I was no good
One said I should quit
One said to remind myself to get myself a fix

CHORUS

Hey, Mr. Smiley
And I'm feeling ten feet tall
Bye, Mr. Smiley
You got to go now
They just called, they just called
SEXUAL THING

Laughing
Jam blues man

There you lay all by yourself
So please allow me to introduce myself

I welcome you to the house of sin
Open your mind and let the games begin

I'm your lust and I'm your greed
I'm every sick thought that you ever done dreamed

Eaten your cake now you want some more
Mmm, where have I heard that before?

CHORUS
I am your
I am your
I'm just your sexual thing
I am your
I am your
I'm just your sexual thing
Ain't nothin' but a sexual
It's just a sexual thing

Lying there you look so horny
Talk is cheap and startin' to bore me

Hold me close and tell me it feels so good
But damn, girl, you knew it would

CHORUS
SOLO

Glad to have met you
So please that you've come
But I must be moving on
My work here is done

Best believe me you, child
The pleasure's been all mine
If you're in need, please do indeed
Call me anytime

CHORUS

They've got you medicated
It's got you so frustrated
He caught you masturbatin'
You rather be fornicating

Well then you come with me
I'm gonna set you free.
It's just a sexual
Ain't nothin' but a sexual
It's just a sexual thing

What you've just witnessed is a sexual fantasy
Please don't try these tricks
At home
LAY YOUR BODY DOWN

I've spent my life waiting
For that famous final scene
I believe you know the one
When she falls in love with me

As for you, you've been faking your smile
Fillin' your time
On small talk
And cheap wine
Knowing in your heart there was some place
That you'd rather be


So right or wrong
I wrote you this song
To tell you how I feel

Don't put up a fight
You just turn off the lights
Walk over here to me

CHORUS:
And lay your body down on me
Down on me tonight, oh yeah
Let your tears fall down on me
Down on me tonight, oh yeah

As for me, I've lied to, denied to
Fight with and tried to
Apologize for all my ways
To all the woman who were fool enough
To fall in love with me

You played your role
Like a movie
Got your lines for who is,
Who was, who would be
Some how you lost track
While real love slipped away, yeah

So for tonight, just turn off the lights
And let those real feelings show
There's no wrong or right
But until you try
You're never gonna know

CHORUS

Before you where mine
I was so lonely
Ain't it a shame
Your heart must feel pain
Before you get back on your feet again

SOLO

So let's draw the blinds
Forget wasted time
And let them old demons die
Take a hold of my hand
Then you'd understand
Why loves worth
One more try

CHORUS
Back to Lyrics Page
TRADICALLY UNHIP

I'm uneducated
My clothes out dated
I don't stand politically corret

I still hate small talk
And fast cars and hard rock
Still like talkin' about sex

I should be expressing
All my inner repression
I guess depression's now a cultural thing

My record company says
Blow my brains out my head
I make the cover of every magazine

CHORUS:
Step into my nightmare
Welcome to my trip
I cannot pretend and I will not defend
Why this good 'ol boy's so tragically unhip

I still like bad girls
Who rock me hard in my world
It's monkey see and monkey do
Well I

I got an old waterbed
I like to trip into the dead
I keep a poster of KISS on my wall

I still curse, smoke, drink and toke
And make love in the back of my car

CHORUS

CHORUS

I like that home grown
Mind blowing
You bringing
Rolling stoning

They see strange stalking
Mind stopping
Ass swinging
Street walking
Floozies

CHORUS
THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT

When it's boy meets girl and it starts a fire
Two hearts burn with your desire
A candle burns a midnight oil
Loves the love and raise the spoil

CHORUS:
When the girl goes down
That's the way I like it
When the will goes 'round
Neither one can fight it
Can't fight the lust
Can't fight the truth
Ain't nothing you can do
When the girl goes down

Hollywood and Vine and a hundred more
All the wives there couldn't take it no more
Now standing on the ledge and faces the truth
As she ate 'em up and spit 'em out as time was through

CHORUS

Misery loves company
Nothing you can do
When the girl goes down

I woke up this morning found the paper and read
The Hollywood police found a young man dead
No name, no face and no ID
just no different from you and me

She arrives in her strange world
And the story goes it's boy meets girl

CHORUS x2
NO RING NO GETS

Lately boy, your head ain't right
And nothin' seems to thrill ya
Word on the street is
No sex no more cause, it'll kill ya

You touch, she bites
You push, she shoves
Then she yells in your ear
No glove, no love
Oh, it ruined the mood
But you know she's right
When the biggest talks
And the littlest walks
You better learn how to walk the walk

CHORUS:
As far as I can see
It's really no big mystery
Same old stroy
No ring, no gets
It ain't the boat you float
It's the motion in the ocean
And I quote
Before you start pumping that fill without your jets
No ring, no gets

Get this feeling coming over you
It's a variable strength emotion
You keep thinking you're smooth
Start making your move
But your lady starts causing commotion

You want to round the bases
She knows that's for sure
But miss palm and her five sisters
Don't cut it no more

You know tonight you'd like to fly her kite
But the wind ain't blowing
Ya got that right

CHORUS

SOLO

Woman holds the lock
A man's known that for years
Going up inside to persuade that key
Could bring a man to tears

Your gun is loaded
Got her right in sight
About to pull your trigger
When the girl pulls out the lights

Keep your cool
Don't make a scene
Cause-a her pop only gone good to your greed

CHORUS OUT
DOIN' AS SEEN OM MY TV

When I was a child staring at the tube
I saw sex, violence, and death on the news
One day I saw the Duke kill someone
Daddy said don't worry boy, it's just acting son

All I want is attention from somebody
Somebody pay attention to me
Like them actors, I got no shame
I want my fifteen minutes of fame

CHORUS:
Doin' as seen on my tv
Doin' as seen on my tv

Can I get on the news if I kill my wife
Would you respect me more if I took a life
I tried to act and my career just flopped
So I beat up my neighbor and I got on COPS

All I want's a million from somebody
Somebody pay a million bucks to me

I could shoot, rape and kill
And buy me a house in Beverly Hills, please

CHORUS

I'd even do a porno flick, like all them Hollywood chicks
I'm doin' it as I see on my tv

Took my girl to rent a porno movie
Thought that it'd be kind of groovy
Thought that it'd impress my lover
And there she was right on the cover

SOLO

All I want is attention from somebody
Somebody pay attention to me
I'm a man, I got no shame
I want my fifteen minutes of fame

CHORUS

Hell, I'd even do a porno flick, like my hero Rocky did

CHORUS
ONE MORE FOR THE BONE

Well she stepped into the room
Right then she got my eyes
She had an ass like a truck
And two amazing thumping thighs

She's built like no other
Just one big fat mother brick house
So impressed to find those breasts

CHORUS 1:
A little, a little, a little more for the bone
She likes whips and chains and things
She don't need no diamond rings
Couldn't get her through the door
So I did her on the floor

Let's get naked, baby
And roll under the sheets
I ask one favor, baby
Don't roll on top of me

She's my crisco queen
A non-stop love machine
She ain't big going get bigger

CHORUS 2:
A little, a little, a little more for the bone
Sparks may fly like the fourth of July
Just don't get any in your eye
Strap me on a 2x4
So I don't fall in when she wants some more

SOLO

I got excited she threw
Her hamhocks over me
One the size of a truck
The other the size of a tree

She whispered in my ear
Just more cushion for the pushin', dear
Guess I had to move when she got down to it

CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
SET YOU FREE

When you was a child, life's a game
But you got all the rules all changed
Pray to a spiritual God for material things
Then wait by the phone but it don't ring

So if you feel like you fell behind
That mountain's got too big to climb
Want to hang your head and say screw it
Forget that shit let's get down to it
Come on, baby

CHORUS 1:
Mind tripper
Dance sister
It'll set you free
Mind tripper
Dance sister
Keep the faith
Forget the fame
Don't let your bills go down the drain
It'll set you free

The news man shoves it down our throats
The ratings soar, the victims choke
I say, all of you best stand clear
For a few of us got no fear

So you feel like you sinned, baby
You got nothing left to hold, no
Stop feeling like a number
You best forget the shit that you been told
Baby, bring it on

CHORUS 2:
Mind tripper
Dance sister
It'll set you free
Mind tripper
Dance sister
Bring her right here to me
Mind tripper
Dance sister
That ain't no way to change your past
Just get your head out of your ass
It'll set you free

That shit comes down for miles
And it really starts to stink
Don't ask me no more questions, baby
You know what I think, yeah

Well, have heard about it
All the new talk on the streets
I'm coming on hard, baby
I hope you're ready for a brand new me

So get your head out of the gutter
That's no way to right that wrong
There'll be time enough for sleep
When you're dead and gone, I said
Bye bye, baby

CHORUS 2

Mind tripper
Dance sister
Keep the faith
Forget the fame
Don't let your bills go down the drain
It'll set you free
UNFINISHED DEMO-UNTITLED
These lyrics are my basic guess

Here it comes

Well funky monkey's in the jungle tonight
They go two by two don't hear me right

Band playing loudly, baby
Gone are the days when the days are gone
I said gone

The Boogie woogies gone
When the monkeys are gone
Gone or dead this is what they said

CHORUS:
Lost Mary
Cries, cries, cries
Yeah she does, yeah, baby, that is what she does
Lions sleep, baby
Dies, dies, dies
The lamb surely dies
I just don't want to funk you

That's it

When the jungle sleeps
Is when the monkey shine
I said you do, baby, let me make my mind

Back ? wild
If the duece is left in then the dueces are wild

I said, baby, well

CHORUS

Oooooh, kick it

SOLO

Give me some of that

Well, dime store cowboy shoot your gun
Knock them mother fuckers down one by one

Money on up, it's in your face
Gimme no lip or get your face back here

Oooooh, got it right

When the monkey don't sleep
And the monkey don't shine
Well, ?

CHORUS
FACE THE HANGMAN

Friday night at midnight
Looking for what I need
I heard a tale that somewhere
That a dude had a real go at me

So like a raceway cowboy
I slipped into the human zoo
Headed down some trouble
Got myself a drink or two

Well I took to the streets
And I took to the bars
Marched right in but I didn't get far
Manager said hey, boy, there's the door
But I didn't leave until I evened the score

CHORUS:
I gotta face the hangman
Gotta pay for what I done
I gotta face the hangman
Or by the noose I swing
In the morning sun

Like a tipsy gypsy
Looking like I'd been had
But like the story says
This wild-eyed boy is bad

I got a police squad car
Taxi to the local slam
They said
Son you're gonna pay for what you've done
But I don't give a damn

Just cause I like to drink and dance all night
An alley cat brawl in an old fist fight

Give me no lip, boy, or I'll kick you in the mouth
Watch your head fly north and your teeth fly south

CHORUS

Now the judge looked at me and said
That boy, he definately be guilty
Ooooh, let him swing

SOLO

CHORUSx2
UNSKINNY BOP

What's got you so jumpy
Why can't you sit still
Like gasoline you wanna pump me
Then leave me when you get your fill ya

Pre-Chorus:
Every time I touch you, you get hot
I want to make love, you never stop
Come up for air you pull me to the floor
Just what's been going on in that head of yours

Chorus:
Unskinny bop
Just blows me away
Unskinny bop, bop
All night and day
Unskinny bop, bop, bop, bop
She just loves to play
Unskinny bop nothin' more to say

You look at me so funny
Love bite got you acting oh so strange
You got too many bees in your honey
Am I just another word on your page, ya, ya

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

You're saying my love won't do ya
But that ain't love written on your face
Well honey I can see right through ya
We'll see whose ridin' who at the end of the race

Solo

What's right, what's wrong, what's left, what the hell is going on

Chorus
TALK DIRTY TO ME

Intro:
Oh Bret, I just can't wait to get my hands all over you
Hit it, C.C.

Solo

You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
the way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes I do
You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
wait to see me too
I gotta touch you

Chorus:
'Cause baby we'll be
at the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
Behind the bushes
til I'm screamin' for more
Down in the basement
Lock the cellar door
And, baby
talk dirty to me

You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
so I can hear you
When you say those words to me
and whisper so softly
I gotta hear you

Chorus

C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me

Solo

Chorus
EVERY ROSE HAS IT'S THORN

We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
we feel miles apart in sight
Was it something I said
or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say

Chorus:
Every rose has it's thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has it's thorn

I listen to our favorite song
playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of
easy come and easy go
But I wonder, does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could of let you known somehow, I guess

Chorus

Though it's been awhile now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains

Solo

I know I could have saved our love that night
if I'd only let you know
Instead of making love
We both made our separate ways

Now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see cuts me like a knife

Chorus
YOUR MAMA DON'T DANCE

Chorus:
Your mama don't dance
and your daddy don't rock-n-roll
Your mama don't dance
and your daddy don't rock-n-roll
But when evening rolls around
and it's time to hit the town
Where do you go?
You gotta rock it

The old folks say that you gotta end your
date by ten
But if your out on a date
don't ya bring her home late
'cause it's a sin
You know there's no excuse
You know you're gonna lose,You never win
I'll say it again

Chorus

You see I pulled into a drive-in
and I found a place to park
We hopped into the backseat
where it's always nice and dark
Just about to move
Thinking to myself
mmm, Bret this is a breeze
There was a light in my eye and a guy says
"Get out of the car long hair
Ooowee, you're comin' with me",
said the local police
And it's all because

Chorus

Play me a little C.C.

Solo
