1. Who wants to Rock
Hey hey now, what's that smell?Just like cornbread done too well
What you need you know I got
So hands up, who want's to rock?
2. Big Fat Pig
Norman the MormonHears the doorbell ring
Inside they're not answering
Peering through the window
To his surprise
The door flies open
"Come inside!"
"I am Jason, the Free Mason
What you're selling, I do not need
Mr. Patrick, orthodox Catholic
Is more likely in your league"
At that very moment
Mr. Softee rings his bells
Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling
Quickly thereafter, Choco-Taco delight
Reclining on his brand new mountain bike
Now watch you most closely, for here the plot does twist
Enter Simon, the super-Scientologist
"I'm opinin', sailin' Simon
Is you stupid or is you just high?
Brother Hubbard got me covered
Like Sarah Lee on a cherry pie"
Norman says to Simon, "If there are really aliens
I would think that L. Ron Hubbard would have to be one of them"
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my, oh my, oh my
The pie man passes by on his way to the fair
And he says, "Reason, won't you put your blue dress on"
I said, I said "Now
Reason, won't you put your blue jeans on"
At that very moment Mr Softee rings his bells
But before Simon could bring his crushing blow
Norman raises his hands
"Oh no, oh no!"
Simon says, "Hey we ain't even finished this"
Norman said, "Yes we have, here come the Witnesses"
I said, I said, I said
"Now Reason, won't you put your blue dress on"
I said, "Now Reason, won't you put your blue dress on
On, on, on, on"
3. Going to Market
Instrumental4. One Eyed Dollar
I been working, one-eyed dollarBy and by, Lord, by and by
I been working, one-eyed dollar
By and by, Lord, by and by
I got the plans to the Oval Office
By and by, Lord, by and by
I got the plans in my front pocket
By and by, Lord, by and by
In the inner chambers of the President
You will find no crosses, only pentagrams
Beelzebub and business suits on the hot line
All right
I been working, one-eye dollar
By and by, Lord, by and by
I got the plans to the Oval Office
By and by, Lord, by and by
I been working like a pack mule every day
And to think that some of it ends up that way
5. Raised by Horses
I was eating dinner at the tablewith people from the music industry
They asked me if I liked it in "The City"
I said I liked it better in the country
The label representative asked me what about it most appealed to me
"I love to listen to the yellowhammer singing 'a little bit of bread and no cheese'"
Then I commenced to do a tap dance
on eggplant parmesan before their eyes
Guided by voices, whole bag of tricks
Raised by Druids and horses
(Then I told them)
"Never underestimate the power of Love
You dig my new horseshoes?
Never underestimate the power of Love"
"Come here quickly he's lost his mind!"
"Frightened? Well I'm not surprised
You've never seen the likes of me
Check it, I want a big fat advance
And my alfalfa free!"
"Come here quickly he's lost his mind!"
The manager removed me from the restaurant
A crowd got to gathering around
I said, "You can throw a man out on his ear
But you can't keep a good horse down!"
Mounted police sprung to action
Never cut me any bit of slack
But I wasn't going anywhere
'til they got off my brother's back
6. Bertha's Big Back Yard
"Bertha's Big Back Yard of Vertebraes.Largest selection this side of the Mississippi.
Oh, you won't find them anywhere else.
Free pony rides for the children and coffee and doughnuts for the adults.
Open 7 days a week except high holy holidays.
Come on down and pick yourself up a whalebone!"
This track is just Neil speaking. The clicks at the end of each
line make it sound as if he were on a CB radio (which he very well may have).
7. Gnome Enthusiast
Sun-eyed dandelionSeen you garden gnomes gone pass by?
Small one wear a pointy red hat
The big one he just that, he real fat
If you see them please tell them without delay
"You took my Saffron now you got to pay!"
Sun-eyed dandelion
You say they got an airtight alibi?
Then how'd they get themselves them diamond rings?
You know well them gnomes don't make no good money
If you see them please tell them without delay
"You taked my Saffron, now you got to pay"
Sun-eyed, what now, hey hey hey
Your hair is turning gray
Is there something that you need to say?
Suspect, you're looking through and through
I'd take to the wind if I was you
Good-bye Saffron, know that you did good by me
'til wicked weeded wild in my garden
8. Swampboat Upside Down
Instrumental9. Basket of Eggs
As through a glass darkly you seek yourselfBut the light grows weak while under Yggsdrasil
A basket of eggs may you count your days
Though your gut lies filled, only shells remain
I can tell you've been drinking by the scent of your breath
Another little sip, a bit deeper in debt
You can rest your head in your wrinkled hands
But when you awake, you're in another land
In fields of green rolling on endlessly
You find a fallen nest where there is no tree
Mark the brown furred hound tied to the mandrake root
Dare you carve a face in that virtue food?
I can tell what you're thinking I see it everyday
I'll help you with your coat, see you on your way
Sure you want to go walking on a night like this?
Look, there goes another one now. One day I swear they will not miss
As through a glass darkly you seek yourself
But the light grows weak while under Yggsdrasil
A basket of eggs may you count your days
Though your gut lies filled, only shells remain
10. Release the Kraken
(Back to the beginning, start it up)What's the matter brother, does the drought got you down?
Open up the bomb shelter, sweep it on out
Sing to the ocean in the afternoon haze
Up the iron pillars, rise in the waves
Andromeda is weeping. Inside one teardrop swims
Brave Useless in training less a millimeter thin
Release the Kraken!
Get the sacrifice on!
Release the Kraken!
Good God y'all!
Useless the Younger we pray for you
You know we got your back in whatever you do
Bathysphere bobbing in Eyeball Bay
Black lash crashes, forty foot waves
Cepheus is holding Cassiopeia's free hand
As the Kraken breaks the surface making bee-line to the land
In Greek legend the son of Zeus and Danae
He and his mother was set adrift in a chest but rescued by the intervention of Zeus
He was brought up by King Polydectes, who
Wishing to secure Danae, got rid of him by encouraging him
In the almost hopeless task of obtaining the head of the medusa!
With the help of the gods he was successful, and with the head
Which turned all that looked on it into stone, he rescued Andromeda
And later metamorphosed Polydectes and his guests to stone*

11. Superduper
What? All right!Smokestack full of black beans so step back, ow
I got a smokestack full of black beans so step back now,
ow! Smokestack...black beans, and a little bit of collard greens
(repeat variations of those lines numerous times)
"Oh, that's just super duper
Been pulled over by a Virginia State Trooper.
Said 'Radar detectors are illegal in
The Commonwealth of Virginia'.
I said 'Well I bet'cha cloaking devices
Are illegal, too!
Good-bye!'"
