PURPLE APPLE GUM (Rothenberg/Walsh) You and me together nothing lasts forever Eight nine ten eleven take me back to heaven Purple apple gum when you gonna give me some? CHORUS Never growin’ tired of you Never growin’ tired of you Never growin’ tired of you Never growin’ tired Never growin’ tired of you Trembling with laughter fumble with your wrapper Slippery and gooey jellyfish and chewy Tension as it hung exploding on my tongue CHORUS You and me together nothing lasts forever Never gonna swallow never gonna spit you out Purple apple gum where the hell do you come from? CHORUS

I CAN SEE YOU ANYWHERE (Rothenberg/Walsh) You don't want me I don't care I can see you anywhere People like you Come and go All the time In my life That sweet sad smile you have Is massed produced in factories Where they make all the fake hip people You're so hip You're so fake You don't want me I don't care I can see you anywhere Wipe that stupid smile of your face It doesn't work for me I used to think you mattered Now your existence is so annoying Pin me down Drag me out Destroy my name That's okay Now you say you're lonely And you need me babe but I don't care I can see you anywhere I can see you anywhere

YOU'LL COME BACK TO ME (Walsh) I used to think that love was blind But honey I can read your mind You're telling me you want to leave Well here's the way it's gonna be You'll Come Back To Me You'll Come Back To Me You think you're gonna take a plane Well honey use your brain The minute you get in the air You'll realize that I'm not there You'll Come Back To Me You'll Come Back To Me You think you're just like all the rest But honey you're my special guest You say I'll miss you when you're gone Well I will but not for long You'll Come Back To Me You'll Come Back To Me You'll Come Back To Me You'll Come Back To Me

LIGHT ANOTHER CANDLE (Walsh) Well his mind is in the gutter and his body's on the street Give him some money he will buy something to eat He's just like you he's had a hard time in this world Show some compassion he will leave that stone un-hurled Leaders with itchy fingers send the army in They'll kill civilians just as long as their side wins You say you like it if it looks good on tv Better look again because next time it could be you or me Light another candle cause the world is gonna end If technology's your savior better find another friend There goes the ozone every living thing is gonna fry If you ain't having a good time this is your last time I think you better try

Fade Away 04:27

FADE AWAY (Rothenberg/ Walsh) Building lives on broken dreams Fragile hearts need fantasy Romance tempts reality Another chance at misery The rainbow is crying The rainbow is dying CHORUS Fade away call it love Fade away call it love Fade away Fade away Fade away Rainy days passing through All the different colors of you Fill me up when I can't see All the different colors in me The rainbow is crying The rainbow is dying CHORUS I don't want to know what you know I don't want to be what you see I don't want to run when you're crying I don't want to run when you're dying CHORUS

Liquid Feeling 06:04

LIQUID FEELING (Rothenberg/Walsh) We were traveling beneath an eastern moon Spent the night together in a paper room Woke up in the morning the host was at the door With honeysuckle tea he place upon the floor CHORUS Tell me what you see What's behind the glow Is it you or me or something I should know I would like to tell her exactly how I feel When she looks at me I get this Liquid Feeling We were traveling on an eastern shore Spent the night together woke up on the floor She was there beside me smiling tenderly Making me an offer of honeysuckle tea CHORUS CHORUS

SHE'S MAKING WAVES (Walsh) My love is shining with fire tonight Weaving a story she plays with the light She's making waves all over me She's making waves all over me My love is hungry for conversation Out of her mouth falls a babbling brook She's making waves all over me She's making waves all over me Sometimes she makes me laugh Sometimes she laughs at me Sometimes I feel like I ain't going nowhere Sometimes I feel set free My love is swaying in the breeze As lazy as summer as long as I please She's making waves all over me She's making waves all over me She's making waves all over me She's making waves all over me

WIGGLE WIGGLE JIGGLE (Rothenberg/Walsh) Her lips were red Redder than a ripe tomato Her eyes were blue Bluer than the south Pacific Her hair was black Blacker than the color black And when I saw her I heard my heart go CHORUS Wiggle Wiggle Jiggle Wiggle Wiggle Jiggle Wiggle Wiggle Jiggle I'm in love Her hands were soft Softer than a frozen yogurt Her toes were buttons Hanging off my blue jeans Her breath was sweet Sweeter than a sugar velvet And when I kiss her I heard my heart go CHORUS Her heart was pure Purer than a virgin forest Her touch was gentle Gentle as a morning rain Her love was great Greater than the fate of lovers And when she kissed me I heard my heart go CHORUS CHORUS

Suzanne's Got A Hoolahoop CHORUS Suzanne got a hoolahoop Suzanne got a hoolahoop Suzanne got a hoolahoop Don't you want to try? Suzanne has a yellow ball Likes to throw it down the hall Watch it hit the purple wall Just to see the colors fall CHORUS Suzanne has an aeroplane Crashes through the window pane Lands it in a cloud of rain Just to drive her mom insane CHORUS Suzanne has little home home Likes to stay there al alone With her cat and dog and bone And reruns of the Twilight Zone CHORUS

LUSTY LADY (Rothenberg/Walsh) CHORUS Going down to the Lusty Lady Where all the girls drive me crazy Come on baby do a dance for me Dance naked for the world to see Bump and grind out of control Smile like a Cheschire Cat She's got honey as good as gold And I know where it's at CHORUS She's so sleazy she's right on top She knows how to rock and roll She makes me pay for every drop She's a real professional CHORUS She gives it all takes it away Smiles at another guy Through the glass I can hear her say Thanks for coming, bye Going down to the Lusty Lady Going down to the Lusty Lady

KILOWATT SHOCK (Walsh) I didn't know that my buttons were hanging out all over the place And you pushed them all Yeah you pushed them all I light up the city I'm buzzing' with Kilowatt Shock Your conversation was simple and sweet Well I'm off of my feet Yeah I'm dangling When can I see you again for a Kilowatt Shock I saw you tumble I thought I was dead Can I take you to bed we can talk I'd trade my life for your Kilowatt Shock The stretch of your body for me to behold Well if I had the mold I'd be a millionaire Do you care? Do you care? Do you care if I die for your Kilowatt Shock
