A Brief History of Amazing Letdowns

Ginger
submitted by dave furman

when you leave it will be cold outside
swing from tree to tree you're bound to die
ginger disapears with the snow
and she comes and goes but she mostly goes
can't be sure of a lot of things she knows

she soldout poems about the south
she blows wide "O" rings threw her mouth
he keeps her nose warm with his hand
when gravel hits the ground they call it sand
she's throwing lawn darts threw a map
singing "hey man like there's where it's at"
that's the place for me
and that's where i'll be
anywhere i want
anywhere i wanna be
and i'm what you wanna be
well i'm where you want to be

and i know somedays you just die
just as you dont really even try
ginger knows and she knows that it blows
and she comes and goes but she mostly goes
can't be sure of a lot of things she knows

and you sold out poems about the south
she blows wide "O" rings threw his mouth
she keeps his nose warm with her hand
when gravel hits the ground they call it sand
she's throwing lawn darts threw a map
singing "hey man like there's where it's at"
that's the place for me
and thats where i'll be
anywhere i want
anywhere i wanna be
i'm what you want to be
anywhere i wanna be

ginger snows a lot about her lives
she talks about how "oh so hard she trys"
ginger knows and she knows that it blows
and she comes and goes but she mostly goes
and she comes and goes but she mostly goes

He opens up the conversation with
Hey what's that up there
Why is it hanging on the coat rack, if it's not a jacket?
Life is salt and pepper breeding on the floor
The sawdust absorbs the atmosphere.
Why didn't you let me introduce myself?
It's not that I think you're pretty,
Just not sure what you're supposed to be,
Yeah, you are the city,
Just not sure what I'm supposed to see.
This is nothing over here
And there's nothing over there
So where's the train meet me?

Any Place I’ve Lived
as interpreted by Joachim Horvitz

Hey hey my friend,
Where are you going today?
Hey hey my friend,
Why are you going away?
And it’s not that you’re slime
You just get easy bored in time
And if you’re still hangin round
You think you can bring me up
Like you bring me down?

Hey hey my friend
Where are you going today?
Hey hey my friend
Don’t you have something to say?
And it’s not quite the crime
You lead your own life. That waste’s fine.
And if you’re still hangin round
Do you think you can bring me up like you bring me down
Like you bring me down

Shoo bop
Down down shoo bop (x7)
Down down

Hey hey, my friend,
Where are you going today?
Hey hey, my friend,
Why are you looking that way?
Hey hey, left behind you find that you have slivering thing
MOVE IT

Jenny Andrew & Me
as interpreted by Joachim Horvitz

Jenny and me talk about the time
We care for what we think we leave behind
And who knows that it’s cold outside
But just because you have a car
Doesn’t mean you got to give him a ride

He knows
That she knows
It’s a small car
With no place to hide.

It feels weird
Being here
So he drinks. Let the storm outside.

Paper maché the sun
But you can’t make it shine
And 3’s the magic number
If you don’t mind

And who knows
When it’s cold outside
And just because you have car
It doesn’t mean you have to give him a ride.

And who knows
That she knows
It’s a small car with no place to hide

It feels weird
Being here
Sipping drinks off the story outside

It’s just because you have a car (x 11)
It’s just because it’s just because (x 2)
It’s because it’s because

Jenny, Andrew and Me
as interpreted by Mike Coy, of Big Angry Fish

Jenny, we need to talk about the car
Be careful what you say, I can read your mind
And he knows that it's cold outside
But just because you have a car - that doesn't mean you've gotta give him a ride

And he knows
That she knows
It's a small car with no place to hide
It feels weird
Being here
Swilling drinks at the storm outside

Okay, you shade the sun, but you can't make it shine
And three's a magic number if you don't mind
And he knows that it's cold outside
But just because you've got a car it doesn't mean you've gotta give him a ride

And he knows
That she knows
It's a small car with no place to hide
It feels weird
Being here
Swilling drinks at the storm outside

It's just because you have a car, it's just because you have a car . . . . .
repeat, repeat, repeat

Dandy
submitted by eric rottmayer

to shave my head, cleaner than clean
from pockets lined with vasoline
i know you now, but i can forget
be ready, but i'm not done yet
paperclip, cheap history defines
she used to split, but never shined
follow hey, learn how to lead
her law hoop soon brings out on me

Dandy changed her mind
and if you're not him is the only thing on your side
you are dumb, and young girl a burnout can be fine

with bottle-bat to hit the ball
while killing time she stares thru walls
water or 3 to drink in too real
you look like nothing i could steal
toasting heads, half-past pre-girl time
and this gives slowly wrap to twine
so share the floor, but i'm overstared
my stomache hurts from dives thru there

Dandy changed her mind
and if you're not him is the only thing on your side
and if you're not him only force me to decide

at night i could be anywhere
or somewhere that i could sleep
right now i could be anywhere
or somewhere that i could swing

the shaven head, cleaner then clean
legbone on fire with vasoline
i'll blow you off, and you will forget
keep moving but blood won't let
paperclip, hold arms to my side
your reason to touch while open wide
fake smiles make their whole deal seem cheap
at least from here the view is free
