1. KETTLE WHISTLE

What makes a kettle whistle
What makes gold precious
How come some people, they'll show you everything
How come some people, they don't like nothing at all
Well I know why
We all want to be
Beautiful too
Beautiful too
What makes a baby cry
What makes a poor baby older than a rich one
And why do we need to belong to someone else
Well I know why
We all want to be
Beautiful too
Beautiful too


2. OCEAN SIZE

Wish I was ocean size
They cannot move you
No one tries
No one pulls you
Out from your hole
Like a tooth aching a jawbone

I was made with a heart of stone
To be broken
With one hard blow
I've seen the ocean
Break on the shore
Come together with no harm done

It ain't easy living

I want to be
As deep
As the ocean
Mother ocean

Some people tell me
Home is in the sky
In the sky lives a spy
I want to be more like the ocean
No talking
All action
No talking
All action


3. MY CAT’S NAME IS MACEO

My cat's name is Maceo
He's a little man in a cats body
He yawns just like I do
He's convinced I won't eat him
I think he thinks that I'm his dad
Because I saved him from the pound
Well we went down

Down to the pound and that's where we saw Maceo
Cat catcher said to me: "pick one out"
Maceo said: "let me out"
He sleeps right where I do and we wrestle in the morning
He come to you if you don't bother him
He just likes to do his own thing
My cat's name is Maceo
He's a little man in a cat's body


4. HAD A DAD

Had a dad
Big and strong
Turned around
Found my daddy gone
He was the one
Made me what I am today
Its up to me now
My daddy has gone away

Well I spoke to the mountain
I listened to the sea
Both told me that fountain
Was the best that you can be
My daddy's hand it grown
Slow to the licking
Sonny boy
Grow to whip him

If you see my dad
Tell him my brothers
All gone mad
They're beating on each other
I walked around
Even tried to call
Got that funny feeling

He's not there
At all


5. SO WHAT?

Man ain't meant to work
C'mon build a machine!
So we can sleep and make love deeper
Later we can dance and we can drink
Man ain't meant to work
C'mon build a machine!
So we can live for our own pleasure

Please yourself
Please your queens
Early morning the sun is yawning
I am not kind yet
I am certain
I have no doubt

Life is for playing
Days like these I hardly disagree
So what!
That's my conclusion
I think I'm gonna dig myself now


6. JANE SAYS

Jane says
‘I'm done with Sergio’
He treats me like a ragdoll
She hides
The television
Says 'i don't owe him nothing,
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me or,
Try again tomorrow

I'm gonna kick tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow

Jane says
‘Have you seen my wig around’
I feel naked without it'
She knows
They all want her to go
But that's ok man
She don't like them anyway
Jane says
'I'm going away to Spain when I get my money saved
I'm gonna start tomorrow'

'I'm gonna kick tomorrow'
'I'm gonna kick tomorrow'

She gets mad
And she starts to cry
Takes a swing but she can't hit
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know
What else to do about it

Jane goes
To the store at eight
She walks up on St. Andrews
She waits
And gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner
From her pocket

Jane says
'I've never been in love, no'
She don't know what it is
She only knows if someone wants her

'I only want them if they want me'
'I only know they want me'

Jane says
Jane says


7. MOUNTAIN SONG

Coming down the mountain
One of many children
Everybody has
Their own opinion
Everybody has
Their own opinion
Holding it back
Hurts so bad
Jumped out of my flesh
And I said

Cash in
Cash in now honey
Cash in now
Cash in now
Cash in now honey
Cash in miss smith
Cash in now

I was coming down the mountain
Met a child she had pin eyes
We had the same opinion
Had the same opinion
She was holding it back
It hurts so bad
Jumping out of her flesh
And i said

Cash in
Cash in now honey
Cash in now
Cash in now
Cash in now honey
Cash in miss smith
Cash in now


8. SLOW DIVERS

She said: "do you think you could"
And I said: "yeah" in a second
I'm sitting by a waterfall and when the people jump in
They hold their nose and kiss these walls
Granite walls
Water-polished walls

Just don't ever want to move from this spot
You can sit here for so long
There's a slide
Suislide
You can live or die

Going down
Going down
Go down

Boy came to the side
I said: "You want to go down that slide"
He said: "no man"
Hey you got a joint to sell me
We just smoked one
We got a roach we said: "I'll smoke the roach"
But first go down that slide man

Go on down
Go on down
Go on down

I'm sitting by a waterfall
Could bear to watch the people slip and fall
You know the plants on the rocks are crazy
Thinking that they could start a life
On the spiral walls of a waterfall
Slow divers
Their view is spectacular


9. THREE DAYS

Three days was the morning.
My focus three days old.
My head, it landed to the sounds of cricket bows
I am proud man anyway
Covered now by three days
Three ways was the morning.
Three lovers, in three ways.

We knew when she landed, three days she'd stay
I am a proud man anyway
Covered now by three days
We saw shadows of the morning light
The shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one
Shadows of the morning light
The shadows of the evening sun
Till the shadows and the light were one

True hunting is over
No herds to follow
Without game, men prey on each other
The family weakens by the bite we swallow
True leaders gone, of land and people
We choose no kin but adopted strangers
The family weakens by the length we travel

All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings
All of us with wings

Erotic Jesus lays with his Marys
Loves his Marys
Bits of puzzle, hitting each other
All now with wings
Oh my Marys! Never wonder
Night is shelter for nudity's shiver
All now with wings


10. AINT NO RIGHT

I am skin and bones, I am pointy nose
But it motherfucking makes me try
Makes me try, and that ain't no wrong
I'll tell you why
There ain't no right

Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right
Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right
Only pleasure and pain

Motherfucking bad wind came, blew down my home
Now the green grass grows
Bad wind came, blew down my home
Goddamn goodness knows!
Where green grass grows there can't be wrong
And goodness knows, there ain't no right

Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right
Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right
Only pleasure and pain.

Bumped my head, I'm a battering ram.
Goddamn took the pain.
Cut myself, said: ‘so what?'
Motherfuckin' took the pain
Said: 'so what?'
I can't be wrong
I thought so but there ain't no right
Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right
Ain't no wrong now, ain't no right
Only pleasure and pain


11. UP THE BEACH

Here we go now
Home
Home
Home


12. STOP!

Save the complaints for a party conversation.
The world is loaded, it's lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop
No one, no one, no way, gonna stop, now go
Farm people, book wavers, soul savers, love preachers
Lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop
One come a day, the water will run
No man will stand for things that he had done

Hurrah
And the water will run
One come a day, the water will run,
No man will stand for things that he had done

Hurrah!
And the water will run
Will Run
Will Run
Gimmie that
Gimmie that, your automobile, turn off that smokestack and
That goddamn radio, along with me
Hum along with the TV
No one's-gonna-stop


13. BEEN CAUGHT STEALING

I've been caught stealing
Once when I was five
I enjoy stealing
It's just as simple as that
Well, it's just a simple fact

When I want something, I don't want to pay for it
I walk right through the door
Walk right through the door
Hey all right! If I get by, it's mine
Mine all mine

My girl, she's one too
She'll go and get her a shirt
Stick it under her skirt
She grabbed a razor for me
And she did it just like that

When she wants something
She don't want to pay for it
She walk right through the door
Hey all
Right, if I get by, it's mine
Mine all mine

We sat around the pile
We sat and laughed
We sat and laughed and waved it into the air
And we did it just like that

When we want something, we don't want to pay for it
We walk right through the door
Walk right through the door
Hey, all right
If I get by, it's mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine


14. WHORES

Way down low where the streets are littered
I find my fun with the freaks and the niggers
I don't want much man give me a little
Or I'm gonna take my chances if I get them
I love them whores they never judge you
They cast that pearl and it don't upset them
They take their chances if they get them

Hear me go off
Give me some more
Motherfucker
Need a little more
Goddamn you
Give me some more
Motherfucker
Give me some more
You give me bread

I'm tired of living the bosses dream
They'll squeeze you dry man if you let them
Better take your-take your, take your chances
If you get them
Her me go off

Give me some more
Mother fucker
Need a little more
Goddamn you
Give me some more
Motherfucker
Give me some more


15. CITY SONG

In the city there is something to see
In the city there is nothing to breathe
I'm going about my business
I'm wondering what I'm missing
And on my way home
I hid in my coat
Wrote my name on the city wall
Being famous

In the city there is a park bench you can sleep out on
The city there is a trash can you can eat out of
I'm going about my business
Wondering what I'm missing
And on my way home a cop said "no"
I said:"there is a man with a stick and a gun in his hand"

Being famous
Red man in the city
Poor man in the city
Black man in the city
Fat man in the city
Red man
Black man
Fat man
Blue man
I don't know the rest of the words
'Cause I made it up just for you
