FIRST, HERE ARE THE LYRICS:

______________________________________________________________________________________________
Blew

If you wouldn't mind I would like to blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like to lose
If you wouldn't care I would like to leave
If you wouldn't mind I would Like to breathe

Is there another reason for your stain?
Could you believe who we knew stress or strain?
Is there another word that rhymes with shame?

You could do anything



Floyd The Barber

Bell on a door ring, "Come on in."
Floyd observes my hairy chin
"Sit down chair, don't be afraid."
Steamed hot towel on my face

I was shaved, I was shamed
I was shamed

Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see, I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip
Beat me, pressed against my lip

I was shaved, I'm ashamed
I was shamed

I sense others in the room
Opie, Aunt Bea, I presume
They take turns to cut me up
I died smothered in Andy's clutch

I was shamed, I was shaved
I was shamed



About a Girl

I need an easy friend
I do, with an ear to lend
I do, think you fit this shoe
I do, but you have a clue

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free

I'm standing in your lane
I do hope you have the time
I do, pick a number to
I do, keep a date with you



School

Wont you believe it it's just my luck
No recess
You're in high school again



Love Buzz

Would you believe me when I tell you
You're the queen of my heart
Please don't deceive me when I tell you
Just ain't the way it seems

Can you feel my love buzz?



Paper Cuts

At my feeding time
She pushes food through the door
I crawl towards the cracks of light
Sometimes I can't find my way

Newspapers spread around
Soaking all that they can
A cleaning is due again
A good hosing down

The lady whom I feel a maternal love for 
cannot look me in the eyes
But I see hers and they are blue
And the cock, and twitch, and masturbate

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
I said so
I said so
I said so
Nirvana

Black windows of paint
I scratch with my nails
I see others just like me
Why do  they not try to escape

They bring out older ones
They point at my way
They come with a flash of light
And take my family away

And very later I have learned to accept
some friends of ridicule
My whole existence is for you amusement
And that is why I'm here with you

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
To take
you with me
you right
to Nirvana



Negative Creep

This is out of our range and oh
This is getting to be a drone
I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned
I'm a negative creep and moan

Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more



Scoff

In my eyes, I'm not lazy
In my face, it's not over
In your room, I'm not older
In you eyes, I'm not worth it

Give me back my alchohol
Give me back my
Give me back!

Heal a million
Kill a million
Peel a million
Feel a million
Heal a million
Kill a million



Swap Meet

They lead a lifestyle that is comfortable
They travel far to keep their stomachs full
They make a living off of arts and crafts
The kind with seashells driftwood and burlap

They make a deal when they come to town
The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground
She loves him more than he could ever know
He loves her more than he will ever show

Keeps his cigarettes close to his heart
Keeps her photographs close to her heart
Keep their bitterness close to their hearts



Mr. Moustache

Fill me in on your new vision
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your mighty wisdom
Yes I eat cow, I am not proud

Show me how you question question
Lead the way to my temptation
Take my hand and give it cleaning
Yes I eat cow, I am not proud

Easy in an easy chair
Poop as as rock
I don't like you anyway
Seal it in the box

Now You!



Sifting

Afraid to grade
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cross says floss
Wet you bed
Sun felt numb

Your eyes
The teacher said
Your eyes
The preacher said
Your eyes
Teacher said
Preacher said

Don't have nothing for you

Spell the smell
Wouldn't it be fun?
Search for church
Wet your bed
Cold in coals



Big Cheese

Big cheese, make me
Mine said, go to the office
Big cheese, make me
Mine said, what the hell

Black is black 
No trading back
We were enemies
Sure you are
But what am I?
We were enemies

Big lies, make mine
Mine said, go to the office
Big cheese, make me
Mine said, What's the code

Black is black 
No trading back
We were enemies
She eats glue
Now how 'bout you?



Downer

Portray sicerity, act out loyalty
Defend your true country, wish away pain
Hand out lobotomies, to save little families
Surrealistic fantasy, bland boring plan

Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in bastard
Don't feel guilty master writing

Somebody said that they're not much like I am. I know I can 
make up enough words for you to follow along. I sink and then some.

Slippery pessimist, hypocrite master
Conservative communist, apocalyptic bastard
Thank you dear God for putting me on this earth
I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst
