Andrew UNDERWHELMED from _SMEARED_ LP ------------ She was underwhelmed If that's a word I know it's not 'Cause I looked it up That's one of those skills That I learned in my school I was overwhelmed And I'm sure of that one 'Cause I learned it Back in grade school When I was young She said, "You is funny" I said, "You are funny" She said, "Thank you" And I said, "Never mind" And she rolled her eyes Her beautiful eyes The point is not the grammar It's the feeling That is certainly in my heart But not in hers We were talkin' about people That eat meat I felt like an ass 'Cause I was one She said, "It's okay" But I felt like I just ate my young She's obviously A person with a cause I told her that I don't smoke or drink She told me to loosen up On her way to the L.C. She skips her classes And gets good grades I go to my courses Rain or shine She's passing her classes While I attend mine She wrote out a story About her life I think it included Something about me I'm not sure of that But I'm sure of one thing Her spelling's atrocious She told me to read Between the lines And tell her exactly What I got out of it I told her affection had two F's Especially when You're dealing with me I usually notice All the little things One time I was proud of it She says it's annoying She cursed me up and down And rolled her R's (Her beautiful R's) She says I'm caught up In triviality All I really wanna know Is what she thinks of me I think my love for her Makes me miss the point I miss the point Hey mister RASPBERRY from _SMEARED_ LP --------- Look through the music There's a dancing girl She can be broken In your hands She knows you're looking at her But that's what scares her You're in the space That she commands If she still likes you You might get a call She'll ask you why You stood and stared You will be hearing from her But that should scare you If she still likes you Be prepared Pardon me for calling But I'm just checking in You don't know who I am But I know where you've been You sit and tap your fingers When you should tap your phone Tap all your resources Until she leaves you alone She leaves you alone The girl's got nothing on you But that's what bugs you 'Cause you still let her get to you I AM THE CANCER from _SMEARED_ LP --------------- So long, Matthew I will miss you There is too much to do Or I'd go with you It's a bad time I haven't got a dime So long, Allison I now know where you've been But I don't know where you're goin' There's security in knowing But I know some morning Without any warning You'll be gone Oh you've kissed me, kissed me Now you're supposed to miss me So long, Andrew I will miss you I just wrote you a long note You'd better answer I am the cancer Removed from you Oh you've missed me, missed me Now you've got to kiss me Kiss me goodbye So long, scarecrow At least with you I know You're going nowhere What do you care There's nothing up your sleeve So you can never leave Why would you? Stay there, scarecrow Sorry I had to go But I shall return It was my turn to get away Someone had to stay So I can go I miss you most of all You've kissed me, kissed me I can't wait until you kiss me Until you kiss me I can't wait until you kiss me Kiss me again MEDIAN STRIP from _SMEARED_ LP ------------ I can't tell you what I want to I can't tell you I can smell you a mile away Measured arms you've flexed before Next to a battleship You made me mad, I made you sad But now I'm glad you're gone Take me on, take me on Count to ten, I'll be there Tone it down, I'll be in the barrel Point came for you to be Gettin' close to me Can't you see I can't be P-P-I-M-I-S-S I assess the situation differently You should hit the median strip You should hit the median strip Take me on, take me on Three day bender set you straight Two flights were both on time To fight was on your mind Tonight I don't feel fine Feel free to dwell on what you feel Free to say I don't feel free You made me mad and now I've had To say that I was wrong You should hit the median strip You should hit the median strip Take me on, take me on TAKE IT IN from _SMEARED_ LP ---------- I know it's none of my business What you do But you don't have a clue He's just a friend But he's got it out for you I thought I should tell you Hold this close to your chest No one can know He won't let his feelings show He keeps them under wraps although They would love to flow What he never told you Is that he would love to hold you Take a look around Take it in Take it in, take it in I don't think That it's appropriate to cry Here's something to wipe your eye His only fault Was that he was much too shy And he didn't even try So bein' all by yourself Is no way to be There's plenty of fish in his sea It's not the end of the world Take it from me You can take from me 'Cause you have more to offer Than you will ever know Take a deep breath Take it in Take it in Hold me close to your chest Before you go There's something that you should know Put your mouth on my back And lightly blow Where does the warmness go Out to my arms and shoulders Could I be any bolder It looks like you have been Taken in Take it in 500 UP from _SMEARED_ LP ------ She comes running Down like water To splash around With the ones that taught her She's just like That farmer's daughter Everybody laughs at the joke And we are laughing She don't know what it means She just knows That it's not what it seems Everybody knows That's she's goin' nowhere Everybody always tells her How much they care When all they really care about Is growing their hair And getting it cut She's runnin' down much faster Home base is around the corner All she can hear is laughter And that's all that's in store for her Sliding downwards You're the batter That what they say 500 up on the ladder She comes running Down like water She comes running down Everybody knows That she's goin' nowhere Everybody always tells her How much they care When all they really care about Is cutting their hair And letting it grow MARCUS SAID from _SMEARED_ LP ----------- Halloween The night the artist caused a scene The night I heard about his queen I'm just glad my clock was clean Hit the road Hit the ceiling hit my friends And watch while it ends Harder harder hardest I am the artist That makes it easy for you To paint you in a corner Marcus said Or at least he might have said I know what it is to be sad You should have seen what I once had 83 Man that's where I'd like to be God help me Alcoholic alchemy Write a song for me I can turn lead into gold Don't let me get old What I find Is I can drink until I'm blind But I don't mind Have a heart Just take one look at my art It should give me amnesty It means everything to me Alcoholic alchemy Write a song for me I have turned lead into gold How did I get old SUGARTUNE from _SMEARED_ LP --------- I wrote for you this sugartune To help you through What you've gotta do When you're on the ground And keep fallin' down Remember how I made this sound Sound, sound, sound, sound When you're on your own Feeling all alone Remember that You've always got a home I'm outside tryin' hard to hide The fact I'm scared To be by your side I know when everybody's got one You want one, too I know when everybody's got one You want one, too LEFT OF CENTRE from _SMEARED_ LP -------------- I remember Uncle Owen Because his story's aimed at me That was 1977 I was in grade three Since then I've got to thinkin' I really can't remember The last time I was the centre Of the target of pop culture You see, I'm slightly left of centre Of the bull's eye you created It's sad to know that if you hit me It's because you were not careful Yeah, I got the middle child blues I couldn't wear your platform shoes But now it's safe to go back in the water But I prefer Neptune's daughter My older brother's pushin' forty My kid sister's only nine Everything he knows is retro The only word she knows is mine You see, I'm just outside of nowhere But pretty soon you'll be in my care And there are just so many of you But not enough like me to love you LEMONZINGER from _SMEARED_ LP ----------- Sound asleep The sleep of the radio Your favorite show They play the song The one that hits your heart
