In This Mess

Intro:
What is it about your love that keeps me coming back?
Verse:
You've never had a way with words
Your smile didn't light up the room
When we met, I wasn't that impressed
So how did I end up in this mess?
Chorus:
I turned you down a thousand times,
but had one moment of weakness
and since I said yes, I can't say no
I knew just what I didn't want, oh but
Your methods were genius
Now here you are unzipping my dress
How did I end up in this mess?
Verse:
It's not that I've forgotten all your flaws
But loneliness has changed my point of view
So when you came along determined to impress
I was no match for your caress
How did I end up in this mess?
(chorus)
What is it about your love that keeps my coming back (x2)
(chorus x2)

Hush stay where you are
Oh it just breaks my heart
to see you like this
I can tell you're in pain
but don't fear I'm here
I've watched you from afar
Ducked in shadows from the start
You don't know me at all,
but I've known you for so long... so long
Chorus:
And I won't let go til you understand
I can make you more of a man
I'll be your lover, your savior, your number one fan
and if I can't have you no one can
Verse:
They don't know you like me
They don't have what you need
like I do
Don't look at me that way
I'm not crazy, can't you see
You were meant for only me
(chorus)
Bridge:
(no one can) hear you
No one knows you're here but me
No one will find you
Til we're both out of our misery
Don't say you love me
I know it's not true
You'll never know the fear
of losing you
(chorus)

Murder Ballad Blues

|
Verse:
They arrested me on Tuesday, but I ain't done nothin' wrong
They arrested me on Tuesday, but I ain't done nothin' wrong
When I asked them what I'm in for
They just sing me a murder song
They sing
Chorus:
Tie you up on the train tracks
Leave you there 'til your blood runs cold
Tie you up on the train tracks
Leave you there 'til the reaper comes
Verse:
Now I recognize those lyrics, I wrote 'em after all
I recognize those lyrics, I wrote 'em after all
But I swear it's just a story
That tale couldn't get more tall
He asked me, "Did you know him?" with a picture in his hand
He asked me, "Did you know him?" with a picture in his hand
Now how could I deny it
When he used to be my man?
Somebody
Chorus 2:
Tied him up on the train tracks
Left him there 'til his blood run cold
Tied him up on the train tracks
Left him there 'til the reaper come
Verse:
Chicken scratch on crumpled paper, no return address
Chicken scratch on crumpled paper, no return address
It said, "Sorry I got you in trouble,
I did everything you said"
I
(Repeat Chorus 2)x2

Baby's got a badge of honor
Right across her pretty cheek
Baby got it from her lover
The drink it made him weak
When he kisses her he leaves his poison
Lingerin' upon her lips
It makes her leavin' legs go frozen
All the way up to her hips
And they wake up in the mornin' with an echoed voice in the wind
Beggin' for mercy as the day brings battle again
Chorus:
'cause there ain't nothin' civil 'bout a civil war
Broken bottles on the kitchen floor
and fightin' and fightin' and fightin' only makes it worse
'cause the talkin' turns to screamin' when their ears are closed
They'll go blind before they'll ever see the truth exposed
And sooner or later, they're gonna need a hearse
'cause there ain't nothin' civil 'bout a civil war
ain't nothin' civil 'bout a civil war
Verse:
The neighbors hear the china shatter
but they don't wanna get involved
They don't think it really matters
'til the police have been called
PC:
And they wake up in the mornin' with an echoed voice in the wind
Go about their business, 'cause it's not their battle to end
(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
Silence falls like a flag on the ground
as they carry her body through that quiet town
Last Chorus:
'cause there ain't nothin' civil 'bout a civil war
Broken bottles on the kitchen floor
and fightin' and fightin' and fightin'
and fightin' and fightin' and fightin' and fightin'
'cause the talkin' turns to screamin' when their ears are closed
They'll go blind before they'll ever see the truth exposed
And sooner or later, they're gonna need a hearse
'cause there ain't nothin' civil 'bout a civil war
ain't nothin' civil 'bout a civil war
ain't nothin' civil 'bout a civil war
ain't nothin' civil 'bout a civil war

Fat Lady Singin'
03:52
|
|||
|
For years she watched him eyein'
every girl that walked by him
now it's hit the fan and flyin'
she saw the lipstick on his neck
He swore it was just that once
and he'd win back her trust
but she caught him on the rug
with a young busty brunette
she lost her head
Chorus 1:
She could hear the fat lady singin'
The curtain dropped so fast it's swingin'
He'll be beltin' soprano
at the devil's piano
'cause he's goin' down
six feet under ground
'cause the fat lady's singin' now
Verse 2:
She showed the hussy to the door
said, "Marriage is worth fightin' for"
They made love like never before
Then she played possum while he slept
Sunrise lit the final act
Poisoned pancakes, coffee black
She set the tray upon his lap
and fed him breakfast in bed
Ding dong he's dead
(repeat chorus 1)
Bridge:
Sunday's front page paper read,
"Pancakes and Passion Leave One Man Dead"
If she's sorry it sure don't show
She's chirpin' like a bird down on Death Row.
Chorus 2:
She could hear the fat lady singin'
The curtain dropped so fast it's swingin'
She'll be beltin' soprano
at the devil's piano
'cause she's goin' down
six feet under ground
'cause the fat lady's singin'...
singin' now
