I'm gonna buy myself a small plane, I'm gonna crash it on their south lawn, I'm gonna sleep down by his quarters, I'd like to have sex with his daughters, I'm gonna buy myself a small plane, Gonna crash it on their south lawn, Just big enough for me I'm just another freight truck driver, He's just another white house skiver, Had a gun, radio air-craft, big bell, your duty to broadcast I'm gonna buy myself a small plane, Gonna crash it on their south lawn,
Just big enough for me I'm gonna buy myself a small plane, Gonna crash it on their war zone, Just big enough for me I'm gonna have to shoot my way out, To give the acting boys some more plot.

Poppy Day
She slept on an iron bed, Lived through the war for what? Butterflies 'round the fire smile, Smile until she's robbed of all she's got, I heard the innocent got shot today, Grandma died on poppy day, I heard the dress down get turned away, All died, died on poppy day, Fancy dress in a dress down town, Happy Halloween, Door breaks open lost man walks in, Killing the happy scene, I heard the innocent got shot today, Grandma died on poppy day, I heard the dress down get turned away, All died, died on poppy day, I heard the innocent got shot today, Grandma died on poppy day, I heard the dress down get turned away, All died, died on poppy day, On poppy day
Carrot Cake And Wine
I'm looking good, got my shoulders back, A few more drinks, I'm up to dance, I get the eye as I lift my glass, the first time in six months, She looks again I start to shake, My shoulders twitching, I'm on my way, I glance behind me for safety sake, To see a clock the size of a plane, The night is young more fish in the sea, Who's to say she wasn't looking at me? I sink my head back into my glass, Get into shape for that first dance, I turn away, I look to the south, I pull my foot from out of my mouth, To my surprise she's standing beside me Asking if I'd like to dance. I'm standing in a hall of smoke, Her tongues in my mouth, I'd love to choke, Her knight approaches us on foot, He left his side kick at the brook. He offered me a cigarette I said I'm far too young to smoke, So he tried to entertain me, Told me one more crappy... Joke in my ear, except the joke wasn't clear, Set the joking aside should I run? should I hide? Decided to stay, rub it straight in his face, What he thought was the case was an easy mistake. I'd just like to try some carrot cake and wine, Can't I try, taste my carrot cake and wine Looking good, not looking back, Knight of hers took her off to dance, I get the eye as I lift my glass, But not for the last time, She looks again, too dunk to shake, My eyes are twitching, my legs are fake, I glance behind me for safety sake To see my girlfriends tongue in the face of a friend, Who was far from a man, Should I hide? should I run? Must have seen what I've done, Decided to stay, liked the look on her face, What I thought was the case was an easy mistake. I'd just like to try some carrot cake and wine, Can't I try, taste my carrot cake, Why can't I try?
Why should I lie? Taste my, try some, buy my Carrot cake and wine
Home To Me
That's my home to me, That's my home to me, Please don't take it from me, Please don't take it from me, from me. Electric lights, blurs my stare, I'm crawling for a space to breath, Why should my home concern your needs? Please don't take it from me, me, A baby chair, a rocking horse, A nervous wreck, a memory loss, And sleeping pills, ease the pain, I'm coming back, I'm back again, again. That's my home, that's my life to me, Please don't take it away from me, Please don't, take it from me.
Summertime
Summertime and the living is easy, Fish are jumping, the cotton is high, Your daddy's rich and your mummy's good looking So hush little baby and don't you cry, One of these mornings your gonna wind up singing, Your gonna spread your wings, And reach for the sky, But until that morning, your gonna wind up singing And mommy and daddy are standing by But until that morning, your gonna wind up singing And mommy and daddy are standing by, And mommy and daddy are standing by

Chris Chambers
It sickens me to see, Photograph in front of me, carnation coloured pink Stand aside and take a drink, Night club, another scene, 31st it's Halloween., Slave to each new trend, Uptown junkies push again, The lovers and the wannabe's (they don't know how) The radio's and TV's (they don't know how) Newspaper story reads (they don't know how) Cheap girl magazine (they don't know how) Stand aside and cry, never wonder why, Ask themselves why, the river has dried, Laughter after three, shaped up to be free, Number one the most missed chart, Must have broke a thousand hearts, Parallel with the scene, tarnished star evergreen, Live life disguised. The lovers and the wannabe's (they don't know how) The radio's and TV's (they don't know how) Newspaper story reads (they don't know how) Cheap girl magazine (they don't know how) Stand around and cry, never wonder why, Ask themselves why, the river has dried
Who'll Stop The Rain
As long as I remember, the rains been coming down, Clouds and mystery falling, confusion on the ground, Good men through ages, tried to find the sun, And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain? I went down Virginia, seeking shelter from the storm, Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower go, About your plans for new year, wrapped in golden chains, And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain? Heard the singers playing, I would chant for more, Drowning with the rush together, trying to keep warm, Still the rain kept falling, falling on my head,
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain?
The Last Resort
She came from providence, the one in Rhode Island, Were the old world shadows hang, heavy in the air, She packed her hopes and dreams, like a refugee, Just as her father came, across the sea, She heard about a place, people were smiling, And spoke about the red mans weight, And how they loved the land, They came from everywhere, to the great divide, Seeking a place to stay, or a place to hide, Down in the crowded bars, out for a good time, Can't wait to tell you all, what it's like up there, They called it paradise, I don't know why, Somebody laid the mountains over, While the tide got high, Then the chimney winds blew down, across the dessert, Through the canyons of the coast, to the Malibu, Were the pretty people play, hungry for power, To light their neon ways, giving things to do, Some rich men came and wrecked the land, nobody caught him, Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and Jesus people balling, They called it paradise, the place to be, We watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea, We can leave it all behind, and sail to the higher, Just like the missionaries did, so many years ago, They even bought a neon sign, Jesus is coming, He brought the white man's burden down, He brought the white mans reign,
We will provide the grand design, What is yours and what is mine, Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here, To satisfy our endless needs, and justify our bloody deeds, In the name of destiny, and in the name of god, And you can see them there, on Sunday morning, Stand up and sing about, what it's like up there, They called it paradise, I don't know why, call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye
