Tell All My Friends

Tell all my friends
They can go to heaven
Tell ol' Saint Peter
I don't need them here
And if God don't want 'em
Tell him I can't blame him
And if he sent them somewhere else
I wouldn't shed a tear
So send them all back home
Send them all back home
Send them all back home
Send them all back home
Tell all my lovers
They never truly loved me
They only imagined
They were giving me something true
Tell all my teachers
They never really taught me
And everything
They said to me
I already knew
So send them all back home
Send them all back home
Send them all back home
Send them all back home

A Coming Of Age Tale

Put on your overcoat
Tell your mother you'll be a good boy
But your heart's as black as raven's wings
And it beats against the way of things
You'll tear apart the world
Like a brand new toy
Put a pellet in your gun
Today's the day you will become a man
Well the rifle does the firing
And the bullet tears a hole
But the father's in the son
As the death is in your hand
Cross yourself
And hope to die
Pass a needle through the camel's eye
You'll take your first life today
So point the gun and fire away
Down come the raven's wings
That is the way of things
The more things change
The more they stay
You wave your courage round
In the growing dark
And what's a man
But a bird with shame
Who has no wings to fly away
So cock your pistol and take aim
And pour your love into his heart

If the dark
Were to bind
Your pretty fingers to mine
We could sing
Halleloo
Hallelujah
Halleloo
Halleloo
Hallelujah
If the moon
Were to press
Your pretty ear
Up against my chest
You could hear
My heart sing
Halleloo
Hallelujah
Halleloo
Halleloo
Hallelujah
If the dawn
Were to free
The cool damp earth
From beneath my feet
We could float in the sun
And sing
Halleloo
Hallelujah
Halleloo
Halleloo
Hallelujah
Halleloo
Halleloo
Hallelujah

You Can Go To Hell

You can go to hell
You can make a scene
You can do what you like
If you know what I mean
You can close your eyes
You can hide away the truth
Pretend you never need me
I think you already do
But you can never have love
You can never have love
You can never have love
You can never have love
You can go to France
You can buy a car
You can drive it real fast
And run away real far
You can stay in bed
You can sleep alone
And when you finally wake up
You'll find that everybody's gone
But you can never have love
You can never have love
You can never have love
You can never have love
But you can never have love
You can never have love
You can never have love
You can never have love

You Carry On
03:40
|

|
Your body's on the stone
Your mind is going home
Your heart is all alone
You carry on
You carry on
Your hands are on the moon
Your feet are in the tomb
Your stomach's saving room
You carry on
You carry on
Whoa oh oh
Oh
You carry on
You want to play your part
(You buy a bag of rice)
You draw the Jack of Hearts
(You feed it to your mice)
He cuts into your heart
(You freeze them in the ice)
You carry on
You carry on
You're born into your health
(Your fingers made of wood)
Upon a sea of wealth
(Do everything you should)
Just you and no one else
(Do nothing you could)
You carry on
You carry on
Whoa oh oh
Oh
You carry on
