ALWAYS AROUND (I FEEL BAD) (Walsh) Can I have another Kiss I'd like to put it in my pocket Take it out when I'm feeling down It's good to know you're always around I feel bad They used to call me Mr. Lucky Now I spend all my time stuck on you Maybe we can get together I used to think you were more than a fair weather friend I feel bad I used to think you were good for me I used to think you could be somebody I had a dream last night for sure I woke up thinking I did not want you anymore Catch you baby on the rebound It's good to know you're always around I feel bad

FROGGY IN THE ROAD (Walsh) Froggy in the road out of his mind Froggy Froggy take it to the side Milk truck coming round the bend Froggy Froggy this could be the end I don’t care what you say I’m gonna sit right here and play Squishy squishy froggy in the road Stupid froggy didn’t want to go Froggy Frog we all got to die I don’t know how and I don’t know why Annie Annie jumping out of planes Her parachute went up in flames People saw from miles around Left her mark all over the town Annie Annie what were you drinking All that smoking all that thinking Annie Annie we all got to die Why’d you want to fall from the sky? Plenty of reasons to live on the ground Pick one up at the lost and found Pawn Shop Pete looking for a deal Fell in love with a wagon wheel Took that wheel and rolled across the land Got bit by a snake in the high desert sand Vultures came and picked off the meat Nothing but bones for Pawn Shop Pete He's still walking thirsty and dry Never took the time to wonder why Death don't care about wagon wheels Shedding skin or making deals Froggy in the road out of his mind Froggy Froggy take it to the side Milk truck coming round the bend Froggy Froggy this could be the end I don’t care what you say I’m gonna sit right here and play Squishy squishy froggy in the road Stupid froggy didn’t want to go Froggy Frog we all got to die I don’t know how and I don’t know why Froggy in the road Froggy in the road Froggy in the road

I'M THE ONLY ONE (Walsh) I'm the only one she cooks for more Than any other man I'm the only one she looks for To open up a can Like a summer breeze whistling through the trees I'm the only one she prays for more Than any other man I'm the only one she cries for When she gets scared I'm the only one she runs to When life is unfair Let the mockingbirds sing they'll do that for anything I'm the only one she longs for more Than any other man I'm the only one she's missing After a fight I'm the only one she's kissing Before she says goodnight Old lovers entwined like raisins on the vine I'm the only one she cares for more Than any other man

KISS ME A KISS (Walsh) I had a very good day I figured out what I had to say I've been walking in circles stopped on a dime Running in place at the same time I wish I knew how to sing So many times it must be my thing The rain wouldn't fall the sun refused to shine The fog rolled in drunk on strawberry wine CHORUS Kiss me a kiss won't you please? Tell me why oh why won't you let your wife sleep? I don't mind an old hand me down Lifts me up turns me around The kind with the holes in all the right places Follows me home fills in the spaces CHORUS CHORUS

LADY BUG (Walsh) Lady Bug Lady Bug lands on a flower Laughs at the moon Says I'll be coming home soon Will you wait for me like I wait for you? All I can say is I'm sorry I didn't dance with you When you asked me Two Lady Bugs everything's funny Your mother's a dear Laughs like a bunny And I'm such a lazy bones tonight All I can say is I'm sorry I didn't dance with you When you asked me too Oooo all these memories of you Turn from yellow pink to blue Like the flowers I brought for you All I can say is I'm sorry I didn't dance with you When you asked me too Lady Bug Lady Bug crawls up my arm Tickles my chin Says what's the harm in that? All these memories of you Turn from yellow pink to blue Like the flowers I brought for you All I can say is I'm sorry I didn't dance with you When you asked me too

LET YOURSELF SHINE (Walsh) If I were the sun The clouds would always part Everything depends On what is in your heart CHORUS Let yourself shine Let yourself shine Let yourself shine shine shine shine shine Let yourself shine Let yourself shine Let yourself shine shine shine shine shine If I were the wind The mighty trees would bend Underneath a love They know will never end CHORUS If I were a cloud Skipping 'cross the sky I'd love a rainy day My tears would always dry CHORUS CHORUS

SLEEP MACHINE (Walsh) I'm so tired I can't get no sleep at night I'm so tired I can't get no sleep at night I wake up with bags under my eyes and I can't stand the bright lights I went to see the doctor he gave me a sleep machine Made so much noise woke me up inside my dreams I've been flying over the mountain swimming underneath the sea All I want to do is get some sleep I've got one foot in the morning and the other in the afternoon One foot in the morning and the other in the afternoon Got my head in the clouds and my arms wrapped around my silver spoon Doctor please take back this sleep machine I can't go on waking up inside my dreams I've been walking on the moon swinging from tree to tree All I want to do is get some sleep Well it's another foggy day I think I better take a nap Another foggy day I think I better take a nap I don't believe in sleep machines just put a blanket on my lap Watch me sleep Watch me sleep Sleeping, sleeping with you

DOWN IN THE SUGAR HOLE (Walsh) Stevie wakes to the alarm at 3:15 in the morning Kisses his wife on the cheek and drives down to the dock Down in the sugar hole he shovels and he sweats And dreams of the grandchildren he hasn’t met yet Stevie has a hard time keeping the sugar out of his eyes It burns but the money’s so good he’s willing to compromise He says I finally found a way to survive Down in the sugar hole And the supermarket shelves are stocked with sugar And the restaurant tables and the coffee bars Stevie wonders how can this world be so sweet With all of this tragedy down in the sugar hole One time they found a dead man He’d been loading sugar from a factory on the island Just a temporary worker with a temporary life Trying to feed his wife and kids and get through college The authorities shipped him back on the next sugar boat I have been accused of sugar coating my words Explaining myself with a false sense of security But that’s just the way I was raised For you see I was conceived down in the sugar hole Down in the sugar hole Down in the sugar hole Down in the sugar hole Tell me what’s it all about Sometimes I think too hard And I forget to get myself back to the sugar hole Way down deep in the sugar hole It’s a never ending dream It’s a never ending dream It’s a never ending dream Are you gonna take me back?

SUPERNATURAL SITUATIONS (Walsh) She’s got a thing for Carlos Santana Lead guitar in a Mission Bar She like a honky tonky super burrito Bi-sexual Mazzy Star She says I don’t have no expectations For Supernatural Situations She’s got a thing for clean cut white boys Dinner for three at the Cha Cha Cha She says I just got back from Barcelona Sing me a song about la la la La-la, la la la La-la, la la la La-la, la la la La-la, la la la She says look at me can’t you see I’m a frustrated writer? She’s got a thing for Noe and Castro Cuban cigars and leather bars Where she waits for me so patiently Dreaming up names for her memoirs She says I don’t have no explanations For Supernatural Situations La-la, la la la La-la, la la la La-la, la la la La-la, la la la

WILLIE BROOKS (Walsh) Stole the queen from an angry hive You got to do what you do to survive She got the brains you got the looks You can't talk like Willie Brooks No no no No no no Picked her up after school Ain't that something ain't that cool? Get your head back inside them books You can't talk like Willie Brooks No no no No no no Ain't that what you said? Fell asleep behind the wheel Woke him up in a cotton field This pot of greens got too many cooks You can't talk like Willie Brooks No no no No no no Take a man to his grave Make him sing like a servant slave That's the plan of jackass crooks You can't talk like Willie Brooks No no no No no no No no no

WHAT COMES AROUND (AROUND) (Walsh) Baby Baby Baby how have you been I just called to ask you can we start again? I've been messed up since we broke it up What comes around around goes around around you Baby Baby Baby don't ask so surprised I said I did not love you then I realized I've been messed up since we broke it up What comes around around goes around around you Nothing but the past blowing through my mind Ain't nothing I can do I keep waking up behind the times Baby Baby Baby I'm sorry that I teased you If you take me back I'll do anything to please you I've been messed up since we broke it up What comes around around goes around around you What comes around around goes around around you
