I Had My Chance

I had my chance and I let it go
I had my chance and I let it go
Well if I ever have myself another chance like that
I'm going to grab it and I won't look back
I'm going to grab it and I won't look back

Sometimes I'm too careful
I walk just like I'm carrying a handgreande
It's going tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
Ticking ticking ticking in my hand
It's going tick tick tick tick ticking in my hand
Tick tick ticking in my hand

And if I ever have myself another chance like that
I'm going to grab it and I won't look back
Yeah if I ever have myself another chance like that
I'm going to grab it and I won't look back
I'm going to grab it and I won't look back

Radar

Got to the driver of my car
Past the dogs past the guards
And all of my alarms supposed to be so state of the art
You penetrate my radar (x2)
You drop a bomb in my backyard
You penetrate my radar
You played me like a chess game
And now you say checkmate
While you go running freely spending money every place
And me I have to hide and I don't dare show my face
If I am guilty so are you it was March 4th 1982
Riding around forever on an empty tank of gas
And an empty pocketbook I better get it to the bank
High up in a glider high up here without a care
I got all the time in the world
I got all the time in the world to spare

Scratch

I was once sitting on top of the world
I really had things in my hand
But something went wrong I'm not sure what
And now I'm sitting here at home alone
People they want to give you free advice
Well that's something that I always try
But you get what you pay for that's what I say
And now I'm paying and paying and paying
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
Everything I wanted cooking on the stove
Everything I needed right in the home
I had the best thing you can have
You can have it you can have it now
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
It's just a fact (?)
Wiped that smile off my face
Put me down in my proper place
But the world just keeps on spinning around
And I'm still hanging around in this world
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm starting over from scratch

Sharks

Sharks patrol these waters
Sharks patrol these waters
Don't let your fingers dangle in the water
And don't you worry about the day glow orange life preserver
It won't save you
It won't save you
Swim for the shores just as fast as your able
Swim like a mother fucker, swim!
Fast as that seen ships to now
The ever glorious now the ever present now
Drenched in flower and deep-fat-fried
And cooled on paper towels and then devoured
You know, I spent 15 years in a life raft
15 years in a life raft and now I got something to say
Stay in your life boats people,
Stay in your life boats people.
It's murder out there murder out there
Sharks patrol these waters
Sharks patrol these waters, hey!
Don't you worry about the dayglow orange life preserver
It won't save you
It won't save you
Swim for the shores just as fast as your able, swim!

The Jury
The defendant will be remanded to the bailiff and
Fresh mint in sparkling water and fresh lime so nice
Serve 2-4 years in the county correctional institution
New mowed lawn a hammock kids playing in a sprinkler
In Cañon City or until such time as the defence
Carefree beautiful woman entwined sand fruits sunshine
Can see no reason for leniency in this case considering
Candlelight red wine a caesar salad all in sparkling
An example to others who might be likewise tempted to
Friends woman's lips dogs canaries woman's hips
And as for you miss will you please rise and
Face the tranquility and all it's charm
And all in blessed privacy that blessed privacy
All in blessed privacy

: Whisper

Don't worry I'm not looking at you
Gorgeous and dressed in blue
Don't worry I'm not looking at you
Gorgeous and dressed in blue
I know it drives you crazy
When I pretend you don't exist
When I'd like to lean in close
And run my hands against your lips
Though we haven't even spoken
Still I sense there's a rapport
So whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Don't worry I'm not looking at you (x2)
Gorgeous and dressed in blue
Don't worry I'm not looking at you
I know you see me see you
As you see me walk on past
When there's nothing more I'd like to do
Then come in close and hear you laugh
Though we haven't even spoken
Still I sense there's a rapport
So whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Yeah whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Whisper me your number
I'll call you up at home
Hmm whisper me your number

Yes

Yes (x14)
[ background "Yes" (x12) ]
If you can't decide what to do with your life
You just don't know what it is that's right
If you just don't know what to do
You just don't know what's right for you
If you can't decide where to go with your life
You just don't know where to spend your time
If you can't decide where to go with your life
I'm sure you'll do whatever is right
I've always known you were incredibility bright
Get in your go-kart and go little sister
Get it your go-kart and go
Get in your go-kart and go little sister
Get it your go-kart and go
Get in your go-kart and go little sister
Get it your go-kart and go
Get in your go-kart and go little sister
Get it your go-kart and go
And then swing your swift sword sister
Swing your swift sword now
Swing your swift sword sister sister
Swing your swift sword now
Swing your swift sword sister
Swing your swift sword now
Swing your swift sword sister sister sister

Album: B-Sides & Otherwise (1997)

All Wrong

She had black hair like ravens crawling over her shoulders
All the way down
She had a smile that swerved
She had a smile that curved
She had a smile that served all over the road
It's all wrong all wrong
All wrong all wrong
She had a way of making people feel good to be around her
As it should be
It's all wrong all wrong
All wrong all wrong (x2)
All wrong
And when she laughs I travel back in time
Something flips the switch and I collapse inside
It's all wrong all wrong
All wrong all wrong (x2)
All wrong

Down Love'S Tributaries

Meanwhile
Down love's tributaries
In a canoe on my knees
She takes me anywhere anywhere she pleases
Vines surround us long and red
Curling around our arms and legs
Breaking through we have a drink and somehow find ourselves in sync so
We continue on and on there's no time to think right now
Perhaps another day is lost
