all flowers in time bend towards the sun

(J.Buckley)
 

my eyes are
 a baptism 
oh and I am filth 
and sing her 
 into my face 
oh phantom lucifer

oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
 but here is one
all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
 but here is one, here is one... 
here is one
ah yeah...

one that can never be more
either, or drunk, with the world at her feet
a soul, but with no place to go

oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
 but here is one
all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
 but here is one, here is one... 

oh, we did go (???)
we can travel round
fading farther from me
 with your face in my window cloth

when will you wait for me
 sweet willow... ooh...

it's ok to be angry
but not to hurt me
your happiness, yes, yes, yes
darling, darling,
oooh...

all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
 but here is one

all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
 but here is one

all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
 but here is one
but here is one
but here is one...

forget her

(J.Buckley)
 

while the city's busy sleeping
all your troubles lie awake
I walk the streets to stop my weeping
but she'll never change her ways

don't fool yourself
she was heartache from the moment that you met her
my heart feels so still
as I try to find the will to forget her somehow
o h I think I've forgotten her now

her love is a rose dead and dying
dropping her petals and man I know
all full of wine the world before her
but sober with no place to go

don't fool yourself
she was heartache from the moment that you met her
my heart is frozen still
as I try to find the will to forget her somehow
she's somewhere out there now

oh my tears fall down as I tried to forget
the love was a joke from the day that we met
all of the words, all of her men
all of my pain when I think back to when 
remember her hair as it shone in the sun
it was there on the bed when I knew what she'd done
tell yourself over and over you won't ever need her again

don't fool yourself
she was heartache from the moment that you met her
oh my heart is frozen still
as I try to find the will to forget her somehow
she's out there somewhere now

oh
she was heartache from the day that I first met her
my heart is frozen still
as I try to find the will to forget you somehow
cause I know you're somewhere out there right now

edna frau

(J.Buckley/M.Grondahl)
 

to cross the ocean and to look down
this pipe love is rushing to a city bed
then wires stream into an open (???)
take hold of Jude, she's coming down

I made like I didn't tell you
don't tell it

when will you wash the bodies
two seven numbers with the happy
take a leave and join me on the water's edge
I would let you if only I could assist your death

I made like I didn't tell you
when they call me
I made like I didn't tell you
when they call me

but cry, oh, your life
don't go blind (???)
cry... go blind (???)
to get out

now my sister, you didn't know how
everyone needs (???)
all my children are acting out
crawling to bed with Edna Frau

I want someone badly

(N.Larson)

 

now I want someone badly
got a girl here tonight
want someone new
someone new

but little cry wants someone badly
wanna know if this is a bad lease on me
(I want know)
I want know
am I sure that I heard you right
I want to know
if you're leaving just do it tonight

now I want someone badly
to burn in here with me
but listen baby
'cause I cry all over madly
don't do anything do it for me
ooh I wanna know
am I sure that I have your love
I want know
if you're leaving just make sure it's right
now I want someone badly
could it be true
that someone is you

ozark melody

(written by J.Buckley, F.Reed, J.Tripician)
 

well the aliens are coming
they're coming while i'm strummin'
they fill me up with such a sense of pride
when the aliens do take me
I hope that they will let me
bring my little sister for my bride.

the space men with skin of gray
took my baby child away
now they say they want a second date
I'm really kind of flattered
though I know it doesn't matter
just think of it as interstellar rape.

the aliens will help me
I know that they can lift me
lift me out of earth's velocity
the aliens have shown me
in their space craft as they hold me
their space-age Ozark moonshine recipe.

in the kitchen I've gone wild
with spices hot and mild
yes, I'm the planet's new age Julia child.

I'm cookin' up a present
a ten-pound frisky pheasant
they'll stuff it like they stuffed me - with a smile

the aliens are recruiting
over hill and dale they're lootin'
for kins and cows and even chickens, too.
they took my cousin Billy
now he's more than silly
I wish they'd take my auntie Mary lou.

now the aliens don't like me
'cause I guess I tried to bite 'em
it's just my way of being kind of close
they threw me in a pasture
now i'm aging faster
faster than a free-range country roast.

well the aliens are coming
they're coming while i'm strummin'
they fill me up with such a sense of pride
when the aliens do take me
I hope that they will let me
bring my little sister for my bride.
