I Got Plans

I got plans with my hands
Make a little romance
Grab you by the wrist, and hey
Let’s dance
Our little drummer got a brother
And one hell of a mother
They can really tell it
Like no other
They turn my bad advice
Into good advice
Until one day I finally
Keel over dying
In an alley telling sally
I aint never been so madly
In love so god damn badly
I got plans
I got a job writing obits
For those local moments, you know
The kind that like to
Blow it
Their rising all at once
Was as the sound of thunder
Heard rumbling from
Asunder
They tell me boy you better
Make it hell for leather
Outta here, and don’t forget
To send us letters
And you know standing in the rain
Is never saintly, that
I must admit gravely, but momma said
Babe, it’s nota bene
I got plans
Late at night
By Will-o-the-wisp light
We play hide and seek
With our lives
And I’m trying to tell her
That when I met her
I swear I thought
I heard bells
And we may got our gadgets
They don’t replace the magic
And no amount of digits
Change my decision
But for now I can dance
And a little romance
Wouldn’t hurt before
I tell her my plans
I got plans

A new babe is crying
In the other room
The crib is still rocking
When momma slips through
The doctors and nurses
They don’t know what to do
So don’t be too late babe
When she calls for you
You thought they’d all be
Alphabetized
Turns out it’s hard to call you
Two names at one time
When you ain’t learn the alphabet yet
You gotta use signs
Like a smile or a kiss
Or the wink of an eye
What ever happened to Ave Maria?
I don’t know
What ever happened to Ave Maria?
Ave Maria is crying
In the other room
The crib is still rocking
When momma slips through
It’s friday night, candle light
Reflects off the pew
So don’t be too late babe
When she begs for you
One of the good ones, she
Was one of the good ones
They don’t come around here often
When they do it’s really something
One of the good ones
She was one of the good ones
What ever happened to Ave Maria?
I don’t know
What ever happened to Ave Maria?

Don't U Fall In Love
03:51
|
|||
Ain’t gonna do nothing with words
I ain’t already done to hurt you
Sometimes it’s not enough
To combine two things that you love
Well what we doing up here?
And you just gotta ask
But you’ve never been so cruel
And babe you’ve never been so good
They don’t really like us
And baby I don’t really blame ‘em
It’s hard to watch a good love
Turn to something you’re ashamed of
Being a teenage under-age
You just need to get away
And did anybody call
If you needed anything?
Well ain’t I done enough?
Don’t you fall in love?
Just be my little fool
Please just have too much
Because ain’t I done enough?
Don’t you fall in love

Calabrese Way
03:15
|
|||
The streets where we live
The streets where we die
And no one’s asking
No one’s asking why
On Calabrese Way
We’re here to stay
Because on Calabrese Way
I ain’t got much to say
So take my ring
And baby here’s my line
Would you like to be
A little blushing bride
On Calabrese Way
I ain’t got much to say
And goodness gracious babe
Would you take a look at this place
Let’s go out tonight
Let’s go for a ride
Find a quiet place
Lay down and die
On Calabrese Way
I ain’t got much to say
On Calabrese Way
We’re here to stay
On Calabrese Way
Is where I get paid
And goodness gracious babe
Look at how much I make

Get Off The Phone
04:29
|
|||
I took it off the cuff
That things were getting rough
And I couldn’t tell you now
Why I had to get tough
Something about having enough
We were trying to make love
This side of a dream
But I couldn’t imagine why
You’d wanna go and scream
Something about wanting to leave
We started off great
Like a burger and a shake
And a side of sweet
Potato fries
Not too many lies
But now I come home
You’re in bed, on the phone
And I wanna hold you close
But she won’t get off the phone
Oh baby please, get off the phone

What Yr Gonna Do
02:11
|
|||
Something’s going on
Something has gone quite wrong
You’ve been living inside out
You’re in pieces on my couch
I try to put you back together
Dressed in your favorite leather
But you’re splitting at the seams
And baby, you’re buckling at the knees
I can tell what you are gonna do
I can tell what you are gonna do
I can tell what you are gonna do
I can tell what you are gonna do

Lady Bug
04:26
|
|||
Cloudy with a chance of rain
And all my warm clothes are grey
And I can’t wait, until this generation
Has to pay for it
Won’t you go with me to the ball?
We don’t have to dance at all, no
We’ll just sit, and drink, but at some point babe
we gotta make it look like we fit
I mean, you’re a scream
It’s bad, I don’t care
It’s cold, wear a coat
Get tough my lady bug
Baby pay off your library loans, you don’t
read too good, besides, we’re leaving town
come tomorrow, and then we’ll go and drink
But at some point babe we gotta find a home to fit
I know I’ve ran outta things to call luck
When I’m nice and drunk and alone, for no reason
And baby I can’t wait, til the next generation
Has to pay for it
Don’t cry, your eyes
Remind me sometimes
It’s cold, wear a coat
And I love my lady bug

She Said
04:16
|

She said she liked Cadillac
I said have a Ford, she said have it back
She said she liked it hot
I said how about now, she said maybe not
She said she’d show me her house
I said your parents? She said now quiet as a mouse
I said where will I find you next
She said baby ain’t that the trick
I think that I’m in love with you, yeah you
I think that I’m in love with you, yeah you
I wan’t the whole wide world to know I’m in love with you
To know I’m in love with you
She said she had some lipstick
That she’d be willing to part with
If I had a little bit of time
That I’d be willing to be smart with
She said, “I’m not what I seem”
I said, “Honey you’re right, you’re more like a dream”
I think that I’m in love with you, yeah you
I think that I’m in love with you, yeah you
I want the whole wide world to know I’m in love with you
To know I’m in love with you
To know I’m in love with you
To know I’m in love with you
Yeah, you

Baby's Got A Prayer Book
02:45
|
|||
Sitting on a train
You feel like nothing’s gonna save you
Just remember what momma say
Don’t forget your rosary
Baby’s got a prayer book
You’re digging through that book
Strangers don’t know how mean they look
But you’re feeling light as air, babe
You gotta find that prayer
Baby’s got a prayer book
You’re digging through that book
Strangers shooting looks
But don’t you worry about a thing, babe
Just remember what momma say
Baby’s got a prayer book
