Center Of The Sun lyrics - The 88
Drag me out of eye for eye
With Sundayʼs souls
Who live to die
And leave me in the pouring rain
To know myself
To feel my pain
Cause Iʼve been drawing closer every day
To the center of the sun
And though Iʼd like to tell you I could stay
I know Iʼm already gone
Then prop me up with stilts on fire
With ash and smoke
But still no higher
But easy now the die is cast
Who once was first
Will soon be last
With Sundayʼs souls
Who live to die
And leave me in the pouring rain
To know myself
To feel my pain
Cause Iʼve been drawing closer every day
To the center of the sun
And though Iʼd like to tell you I could stay
I know Iʼm already gone
Then prop me up with stilts on fire
With ash and smoke
But still no higher
But easy now the die is cast
Who once was first
Will soon be last
They Ought To See You Now lyrics - The 88
You took their breath with just a little wink
You had their heart with just a dance
Had them crawling, yeah you made them think
Ah that they really had a chance
Down and alone
And never shown how
They ought to see you now
Yeah you were meant for only sunny days
You had the silver in your mouth
Ah but life has got a funny way
Of ripping all that silver out
Down and alone
And never shown how
They ought to see you now
Oh we loved those lips
And so fine hips
That you used to shake
Yeah you take what you could take
Yeah well maybe we're all better off this way
I heard about it from a friend of mine
He said they really did you in
Said you're hard enough to say you're fine
But it was written in your skin
Down and alone
And never shown how
Ah somehow
Yeah somehow
Ah somehow
They ought to see you now
You had their heart with just a dance
Had them crawling, yeah you made them think
Ah that they really had a chance
Down and alone
And never shown how
They ought to see you now
Yeah you were meant for only sunny days
You had the silver in your mouth
Ah but life has got a funny way
Of ripping all that silver out
Down and alone
And never shown how
They ought to see you now
Oh we loved those lips
And so fine hips
That you used to shake
Yeah you take what you could take
Yeah well maybe we're all better off this way
I heard about it from a friend of mine
He said they really did you in
Said you're hard enough to say you're fine
But it was written in your skin
Down and alone
And never shown how
Ah somehow
Yeah somehow
Ah somehow
They ought to see you now
After Hours lyrics - The 88
Honey hide all the light
Go and shut that shade
Outta sight outta mind
Is the game weʼll play
Itʼs getting harder to breathe
But tonight weʼre safe
Cause after hours
When the drunks go separate ways
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
And weʼll be like everyone
Well the night is a vine
And we swing so low
That we can spit on the heads
Of the friends we know
Itʼs gonna eat out of me
But if you say so
Cause after hours
With the drunks it all goes away
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
Phony memories
Yeah we both know
But weʼll never say
And weʼll be like everyone
Cause after hours
When the drunks go separate ways
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
Phony memories
Yeah we both know
But weʼll never say
And weʼll be like everyone
Go and shut that shade
Outta sight outta mind
Is the game weʼll play
Itʼs getting harder to breathe
But tonight weʼre safe
Cause after hours
When the drunks go separate ways
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
And weʼll be like everyone
Well the night is a vine
And we swing so low
That we can spit on the heads
Of the friends we know
Itʼs gonna eat out of me
But if you say so
Cause after hours
With the drunks it all goes away
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
Phony memories
Yeah we both know
But weʼll never say
And weʼll be like everyone
Cause after hours
When the drunks go separate ways
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
Phony memories
Yeah we both know
But weʼll never say
And weʼll be like everyone
Won't Catch Me lyrics - The 88
Iʼll stay down below
Carve out our names in wood
And under stars that glow
Iʼll be away for good
And if I find the sea
Scratch out our names in sand
And by that ocean deep
Iʼll be another man
Well Iʼve been stranded in a place called hell
And Iʼve run out of any dreams to sell
But Iʼd be gone but for the love of thee
But this here heartʼll be the death of me
Cause Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know they wonʼt catch me
And if I ran honey would you come
Or will you stay to be another one
Whose mouths are moving but their feet stand still
Who give their lives to what theyʼd die to kill
Well Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know they wonʼt catch me
Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Baby cast it aside
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know theyʼll never catch me
Iʼm high as the flaming
Wild white dove
Whoʼs callinʼ us back
To honey where weʼre loved
Carve out our names in wood
And under stars that glow
Iʼll be away for good
And if I find the sea
Scratch out our names in sand
And by that ocean deep
Iʼll be another man
Well Iʼve been stranded in a place called hell
And Iʼve run out of any dreams to sell
But Iʼd be gone but for the love of thee
But this here heartʼll be the death of me
Cause Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know they wonʼt catch me
And if I ran honey would you come
Or will you stay to be another one
Whose mouths are moving but their feet stand still
Who give their lives to what theyʼd die to kill
Well Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know they wonʼt catch me
Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Baby cast it aside
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know theyʼll never catch me
Iʼm high as the flaming
Wild white dove
Whoʼs callinʼ us back
To honey where weʼre loved
As Far As I Can See lyrics - The 88
I have no reason to be cold
And I should watch my words
But sometimes honey I donʼt know if I
Am really changing or
Iʼm stuck to the bottom of a mess Iʼve made
With thoughts so low
Cause Iʼve been so afraid
Oh no not that
I guess Iʼll leave it in the past
Thereʼs not a thing I wouldn't do
In all these songs
If only that did good for you
And I have no reason to
Be talking out of turn
You think that I could learn
Donʼt you dear
And when itʼs easy for me to forget
That Iʼm so loved
As long as I can let it go alright
And Iʼll be giving up the fight
Thereʼs not a thing I wouldn't do
In all these songs
If only that did good for you
And Iʼve got no reason to
Be talking out of turn
You think that I could learn
Donʼt you dear
And in the morning when I see her face
Your same set eyes
And thereʼs no other place
That I could be
At least as far as I can see
And I should watch my words
But sometimes honey I donʼt know if I
Am really changing or
Iʼm stuck to the bottom of a mess Iʼve made
With thoughts so low
Cause Iʼve been so afraid
Oh no not that
I guess Iʼll leave it in the past
Thereʼs not a thing I wouldn't do
In all these songs
If only that did good for you
And I have no reason to
Be talking out of turn
You think that I could learn
Donʼt you dear
And when itʼs easy for me to forget
That Iʼm so loved
As long as I can let it go alright
And Iʼll be giving up the fight
Thereʼs not a thing I wouldn't do
In all these songs
If only that did good for you
And Iʼve got no reason to
Be talking out of turn
You think that I could learn
Donʼt you dear
And in the morning when I see her face
Your same set eyes
And thereʼs no other place
That I could be
At least as far as I can see
Automatic Brain lyrics - The 88
You just all need to settle down
Thereʼs no need to wake the dead
Then sheʼll just be forced to come around
To take all you from my head
Yes itʼs true I donʼt sound so good
And itʼs true Iʼve been in pain
But when my gift horse is not around
Iʼm me with someone elseʼs name
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
When sheʼs gone I canʼt look at you
When sheʼs gone I go insane
Then I will be forced to hunt her down
By my automatic brain
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
Always thinking about her
You canʼt have what is ours
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
Thereʼs no need to wake the dead
Then sheʼll just be forced to come around
To take all you from my head
Yes itʼs true I donʼt sound so good
And itʼs true Iʼve been in pain
But when my gift horse is not around
Iʼm me with someone elseʼs name
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
When sheʼs gone I canʼt look at you
When sheʼs gone I go insane
Then I will be forced to hunt her down
By my automatic brain
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
Always thinking about her
You canʼt have what is ours
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
Hold On lyrics - The 88
Back when you were down and out
Up from your toes
And out of your mouth
Was that same old song
Someone mustʼve done you wrong again
Think about the things you did
Cigarettes, poems, and idiot kids
Theyʼre all famous now
But I hope you all learned how to fall
These are the happy days
These are the ones we made
Holy and on display
Hold on
Shine on
Roll on
And hold on
Run like the devil
For all that you lack
You canʼt steal what you already have
Loosen up that iron jaw
Fight to death born
Denying the law
Of that second hand
Now you see the writing and the wall
But these are the happy days
These are the ones we made
Holy and on display
Run like the devil
For all that you lack
You canʼt steal what you already have
Up from your toes
And out of your mouth
Was that same old song
Someone mustʼve done you wrong again
Think about the things you did
Cigarettes, poems, and idiot kids
Theyʼre all famous now
But I hope you all learned how to fall
These are the happy days
These are the ones we made
Holy and on display
Hold on
Shine on
Roll on
And hold on
Run like the devil
For all that you lack
You canʼt steal what you already have
Loosen up that iron jaw
Fight to death born
Denying the law
Of that second hand
Now you see the writing and the wall
But these are the happy days
These are the ones we made
Holy and on display
Run like the devil
For all that you lack
You canʼt steal what you already have
Dead On The Water lyrics - The 88
She had a mouth that was stolen
From magazines she was holdinʼ
She kept her name in the papers
Itʼs good for calling in favors
And in the back of my mind
All the signs came down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Yes I could see
And I could see
Well she could never care about me
She had a face that was Snow White
Like sheʼd been chasing it all night
She came up smelling like roses
And stuck their checks up their noses
I felt it deep in my chest
And the rest rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Oh I could see
And I could see
Ah she could never care about me
How does it feel to be loved
Dead on the water
But in the back of my mind
All the signs rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
And I could see
Oh I could see
Well she could never care about me
And I could see
Yes I could see
Yes I could see
Well she could never care about me
From magazines she was holdinʼ
She kept her name in the papers
Itʼs good for calling in favors
And in the back of my mind
All the signs came down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Yes I could see
And I could see
Well she could never care about me
She had a face that was Snow White
Like sheʼd been chasing it all night
She came up smelling like roses
And stuck their checks up their noses
I felt it deep in my chest
And the rest rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Oh I could see
And I could see
Ah she could never care about me
How does it feel to be loved
Dead on the water
But in the back of my mind
All the signs rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
And I could see
Oh I could see
Well she could never care about me
And I could see
Yes I could see
Yes I could see
Well she could never care about me
Takes It Away lyrics - The 88
Donʼt be sorry
Donʼt you cry
And donʼt you worry
Cause we donʼt die
And Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
Donʼt be angry
Or upset
And when youʼre crazy
Donʼt forget
That Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
And look at me
Caught on the seas
And look at me
Caught in a lie
Well lies get told
Boats get rowed
And we live life after life
So donʼt be sorry
Donʼt you cry
And donʼt you worry
Cause we donʼt die
And Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
Yes Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
Donʼt you cry
And donʼt you worry
Cause we donʼt die
And Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
Donʼt be angry
Or upset
And when youʼre crazy
Donʼt forget
That Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
And look at me
Caught on the seas
And look at me
Caught in a lie
Well lies get told
Boats get rowed
And we live life after life
So donʼt be sorry
Donʼt you cry
And donʼt you worry
Cause we donʼt die
And Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
Yes Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
Diamond In The Coal lyrics - The 88
Iʼm a habit
Youʼre some running joke
Iʼm not worth repeating
Youʼre fixed but not broke
But in that nothing
To where I was led
I searched for your reasons
But found mine instead
I had my eyes wide open
My mouth was dry
I saw the sunlight choking
On blackened skies
And when the dark came crashing
I was swallowed whole
And in the moonlight flashing
A diamond in the coal
Cursed are hands that
Touched on your skin
And cursed are the eyes
That have seen where youʼve been
But out of curses
Old sailors were shown
Thereʼs more than one wind to
Carry you home
Youʼre some running joke
Iʼm not worth repeating
Youʼre fixed but not broke
But in that nothing
To where I was led
I searched for your reasons
But found mine instead
I had my eyes wide open
My mouth was dry
I saw the sunlight choking
On blackened skies
And when the dark came crashing
I was swallowed whole
And in the moonlight flashing
A diamond in the coal
Cursed are hands that
Touched on your skin
And cursed are the eyes
That have seen where youʼve been
But out of curses
Old sailors were shown
Thereʼs more than one wind to
Carry you home
Lost And Found lyrics - The 88
Left at the altar
Proud to be seen
A serpent in his saviorʼs eyes
But itʼs easy to see
Heʼs got that hole inside
I surrender my throat
My feet donʼt choke and lie
Raised out of shadows
Tempted with flames
And brought up in a senseless night
But itʼs hard to stand up
When you see wrong was right
I owe debts to the dark
It showed my heart the light
So come ye
All who mourn
All whoʼve died and are reborn
All whoʼve tried
And are reborn
And come
Oh California
Distant and warm
Well wasnʼt I your favorite son
I canʼt help how I feel
But Iʼm not the only one
I expect to be crowned
Beneath this ground Iʼve won
So come ye
All who mourn
All whoʼve died and are reborn
All whoʼve tried
And are reborn
And come
Proud to be seen
A serpent in his saviorʼs eyes
But itʼs easy to see
Heʼs got that hole inside
I surrender my throat
My feet donʼt choke and lie
Raised out of shadows
Tempted with flames
And brought up in a senseless night
But itʼs hard to stand up
When you see wrong was right
I owe debts to the dark
It showed my heart the light
So come ye
All who mourn
All whoʼve died and are reborn
All whoʼve tried
And are reborn
And come
Oh California
Distant and warm
Well wasnʼt I your favorite son
I canʼt help how I feel
But Iʼm not the only one
I expect to be crowned
Beneath this ground Iʼve won
So come ye
All who mourn
All whoʼve died and are reborn
All whoʼve tried
And are reborn
And come
Go To Heaven lyrics - The 88
Went to hell in my Sunday clothes
Fell asleep with a bloody nose
As for where I was going
No one knows
Then you walked up and I could tell
There's no blood and there's no hell
And I felt like singing, "If I fell"
Go to heaven
Where you are
Keep your wishes
In a jar
When you're willing
Hang them on a star
I can't tell if I need you
Well I could tell you that I love you
Yes, I could tell you that I love you
I thank God that I know you
I want to tell you that I love you
I want to tell you that I love you
And I always will
I was sleepin' and I was slow
But you told me
So now I know
Turn me on just like a radio
Go to heaven
Leave your skin
Pick a number
Pick and grin
Take a picture
So they know where you've been
Was it a poem or song that said
Isn't it hard to forget
Let's forget
Fell asleep with a bloody nose
As for where I was going
No one knows
Then you walked up and I could tell
There's no blood and there's no hell
And I felt like singing, "If I fell"
Go to heaven
Where you are
Keep your wishes
In a jar
When you're willing
Hang them on a star
I can't tell if I need you
Well I could tell you that I love you
Yes, I could tell you that I love you
I thank God that I know you
I want to tell you that I love you
I want to tell you that I love you
And I always will
I was sleepin' and I was slow
But you told me
So now I know
Turn me on just like a radio
Go to heaven
Leave your skin
Pick a number
Pick and grin
Take a picture
So they know where you've been
Was it a poem or song that said
Isn't it hard to forget
Let's forget
Heartsick Town lyrics - The 88
You don’t have to look while the world keeps changin’
You don’t have to look while your bones are agin’
Sentimental books and a paint by numbers
You don’t want to wake from the spell you’re under
Life will look good in a photograph
Picking up steam till you just can’t laugh
You don’t want to look, but the world keeps changing
Hanging up meat on the radio
Taking your seat for the picture show
You don’t want to look but your bones are agin’
It’s a constant heartsick town
You are young so don’t forget
The things that have not happened yet
Are what you dream of
Aimed and pointed at the sun
You fell in front of everyone
Like a wounded dove
Think of what you love
You don’t have to look but the storm keeps ragin’
You don’t have to look at the wars they’re wagin’
Sentimental books and a paint by numbers
You don’t want to wake from the spell you’re under
Life will look good in a photograph
Picking up steam till you just can’t laugh
You don’t want to look, but the world keeps changing
Hanging up meat on the radio
Taking your seat for the picture show
You don’t want to look but your bones are agin’
It’s a constant heartsick town
You don’t have to look while your bones are agin’
Sentimental books and a paint by numbers
You don’t want to wake from the spell you’re under
Life will look good in a photograph
Picking up steam till you just can’t laugh
You don’t want to look, but the world keeps changing
Hanging up meat on the radio
Taking your seat for the picture show
You don’t want to look but your bones are agin’
It’s a constant heartsick town
You are young so don’t forget
The things that have not happened yet
Are what you dream of
Aimed and pointed at the sun
You fell in front of everyone
Like a wounded dove
Think of what you love
You don’t have to look but the storm keeps ragin’
You don’t have to look at the wars they’re wagin’
Sentimental books and a paint by numbers
You don’t want to wake from the spell you’re under
Life will look good in a photograph
Picking up steam till you just can’t laugh
You don’t want to look, but the world keeps changing
Hanging up meat on the radio
Taking your seat for the picture show
You don’t want to look but your bones are agin’
It’s a constant heartsick town
Bad Love lyrics - The 88
I hate to say it but I can’t stand seeing you
Cause every word upon your tongue is untrue
Gonna tell the world about it
Just so that they know
Talkin’ till I shout it
And I can’t talk anymore
Cause it’s a bad love
I hate to say it but I can’t stand seeing you
Cause there’s no tellin’ what a fool just might do
I’m gonna take you to the river
Throw it overboard
You’ve taken all I’ve given
And I can’t take anymore
Cause it’s a bad love
All along you tied and released me
Awful and unkind
You’re, the soul that I’m not gonna save this time
I’m gonna tell the world about it
Just so that they know
Talkin’ till I shout it
And I can’t talk anymore
It’s just a bad love
Cause every word upon your tongue is untrue
Gonna tell the world about it
Just so that they know
Talkin’ till I shout it
And I can’t talk anymore
Cause it’s a bad love
I hate to say it but I can’t stand seeing you
Cause there’s no tellin’ what a fool just might do
I’m gonna take you to the river
Throw it overboard
You’ve taken all I’ve given
And I can’t take anymore
Cause it’s a bad love
All along you tied and released me
Awful and unkind
You’re, the soul that I’m not gonna save this time
I’m gonna tell the world about it
Just so that they know
Talkin’ till I shout it
And I can’t talk anymore
It’s just a bad love
This Must Be Love lyrics - The 88
I'm gonna take this heart
I'm tired of leavin' it
Your kind of love has gotta poor boy believin'
When I call your name
Oh, all you do is run
Ah, but then you whisper in my ear
And all those things just disappear
Take these eyes
I do not need 'em
I hear him talking, girl and I don't want to see him
He puts you down
And smells like alcohol
If you're so impressed with what you found
Then how come you look so down
You can tell your mama, your daddy, your boyfriend too
That this must be love
Ah, honey this must be love
I give away my soul
I felt it growing
Look at my lines I'm gonna tell you that it's showing
And all the boys that you don't ever call
If you're so impressed with what you found
Then why do you look so down
You can tell your mama, your daddy, your boyfriend too
That this must be love
Ah, this must be love
You can tell your brother, your sister, your cousin too
Cause this must be love
Ah honey this must be love
And I swore I’d never say it
What do you take me for
But now I'm bored
And I've been dreamin' and I can't take anymore, yeah!
And if you're so impressed with what you found
Then why do you look so down
You can tell your mama, your daddy, your boyfriend too
Cause this must be love
Ah, honey this must be love
You can tell your brother, your sister, your cousins too
Ah honey this must be love
Ah honey this must be love
And this must be love
Yeah, this must be love
This must be love
Ah, this must be love
I'm tired of leavin' it
Your kind of love has gotta poor boy believin'
When I call your name
Oh, all you do is run
Ah, but then you whisper in my ear
And all those things just disappear
Take these eyes
I do not need 'em
I hear him talking, girl and I don't want to see him
He puts you down
And smells like alcohol
If you're so impressed with what you found
Then how come you look so down
You can tell your mama, your daddy, your boyfriend too
That this must be love
Ah, honey this must be love
I give away my soul
I felt it growing
Look at my lines I'm gonna tell you that it's showing
And all the boys that you don't ever call
If you're so impressed with what you found
Then why do you look so down
You can tell your mama, your daddy, your boyfriend too
That this must be love
Ah, this must be love
You can tell your brother, your sister, your cousin too
Cause this must be love
Ah honey this must be love
And I swore I’d never say it
What do you take me for
But now I'm bored
And I've been dreamin' and I can't take anymore, yeah!
And if you're so impressed with what you found

Ah, this must be love
After All lyrics - The 88
The rain keeps pouring down
There’s a ghost in every room
When darkness rolls around
I’ll get light from that spiteful moon
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I miss you after all
Yes you’re far away
And it’s only that I fear
It’s there you want to stay
And you wish I’d just disappear
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I need you after all
Some say love is violins
Playin’ all the time
Others say love’s just a fool
Who’s crazy, dumb, and blind
With you my love it’s neither
It’s the best of those two combined
So if you are awake
And about to get in bed
Just for my own sake
Could you pick up that phone instead
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I need you after all
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I miss you after all
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I love you after all
You should not leave me all alone
You should not leave me on my own
There’s a ghost in every room
When darkness rolls around
I’ll get light from that spiteful moon
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I miss you after all
Yes you’re far away
And it’s only that I fear
It’s there you want to stay
And you wish I’d just disappear
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I need you after all
Some say love is violins
Playin’ all the time
Others say love’s just a fool
Who’s crazy, dumb, and blind
With you my love it’s neither
It’s the best of those two combined
So if you are awake
And about to get in bed
Just for my own sake
Could you pick up that phone instead
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I need you after all
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I miss you after all
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I love you after all
You should not leave me all alone
You should not leave me on my own
Love Is The Thing lyrics - The 88
I got up, I got down
I could barely breathe or make a sound
Then a man came to me
He said I think I know exactly what you need
He told me
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Well I shook and I moaned
I told him I’d forever be alone
He said son can’t you see
“Here’s the only thing you’ll ever need”
He told me
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Ah, love is a wonderful thing
You sit there alone by the phone
Just what you tryin’ to prove
Well love is a switch and the itch
That’s gonna bring you to
There’s nothing you can do
I said oh, I’m not well
There must be something more for you to tell
I said wait, please don’t go
He said there’s nothing I can do
But there is something you should know
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Ah, love is a wonderful thing
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
I could barely breathe or make a sound
Then a man came to me
He said I think I know exactly what you need
He told me
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Well I shook and I moaned
I told him I’d forever be alone
He said son can’t you see
“Here’s the only thing you’ll ever need”
He told me
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Ah, love is a wonderful thing
You sit there alone by the phone
Just what you tryin’ to prove
Well love is a switch and the itch
That’s gonna bring you to
There’s nothing you can do
I said oh, I’m not well
There must be something more for you to tell
I said wait, please don’t go
He said there’s nothing I can do
But there is something you should know
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Ah, love is a wonderful thing
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Carnival Music lyrics - The 88
There’s no reason to show me
I can think for myself
When you’re asleep
I wake hungry and wide awake
I guess there’s no more to tell
Now the flowers are growing
And there’s songs I can sell
I don’t much have much to say
Each time you go away
I guess there’s no more to tell
Because we’re holy
Because we hurt
Because we need
When we were open
When we were clean
When we would act like those videos we saw
There’s no reason to show me
I can think for myself
When you’re asleep
I wake hungry and wide awake
I guess there’s no more to tell
Because we’re holy
Because we hurt
Because we need
When we were open
When we were clean
When we would act like those videos we saw
I can think for myself
When you’re asleep
I wake hungry and wide awake
I guess there’s no more to tell
Now the flowers are growing
And there’s songs I can sell
I don’t much have much to say
Each time you go away
I guess there’s no more to tell
Because we’re holy
Because we hurt
Because we need
When we were open
When we were clean
When we would act like those videos we saw
There’s no reason to show me
I can think for myself
When you’re asleep
I wake hungry and wide awake
I guess there’s no more to tell
Because we’re holy
Because we hurt
Because we need
When we were open
When we were clean
When we would act like those videos we saw
Nigel lyrics - The 88
Early in the morning
Nigel wakes you from a pleasant dream
And he tells you that he’s hungry
And you’d better move
Nigel can’t afford to lift
His head and by the door, he sits
Don’t forget you that you must call him
By his second name
Bojangles
Wait
What’s that there
He won’t care
He’s still sleeping
He knows we care
He’ll just stare
And bring us joy
Writing on his pillow
He’s the greatest thing
You’ve ever seen
But you better watch him closely
Or he’ll yell at you
Wait
What’s that there
He won’t care
He’s still sleeping
He knows we care
He’ll just stare
And bring us joy
Nigel wakes you from a pleasant dream
And he tells you that he’s hungry
And you’d better move
Nigel can’t afford to lift
His head and by the door, he sits
Don’t forget you that you must call him
By his second name
Bojangles
Wait
What’s that there
He won’t care
He’s still sleeping
He knows we care
He’ll just stare
And bring us joy
Writing on his pillow
He’s the greatest thing
You’ve ever seen
But you better watch him closely
Or he’ll yell at you
Wait
What’s that there
He won’t care
He’s still sleeping
He knows we care
He’ll just stare
And bring us joy
One Of These Days lyrics - The 88
First I gave up and ignored me
As for love well that’s another story
I got drunk off wait and sees
Found that I’m really in a war with me
Now slow down
I said I’m gonna get up
I want it bad but enough’s enough
I want to see how my own voice sounds
I got my ex-ray eye
That sees inside every door
Yes I’ve seen enough
I don’t need anybody these days
To say what I am for
I saw those fear filled eyes
That kept me tied to the floor
Yes I’ve seen enough
I won’t forget about it these days
Anymore
Wait a minute here
Where’s the glory
I was sold by all that went before me
I woke up
And now I can see
Down to the river
Gonna wash me clean
Now slow down
I said I’m gonna get up
I want it bad but enough’s enough
I want to see how my own voice sounds
I got my ex-ray eye
That sees inside every door
Yes I’ve seen enough
I don’t need anybody these days
To say what I am for
I saw those fear filled eyes
That kept me tied to the floor
Yes I’ve seen enough
I won’t forget about it these days
Livin’ for these days
Oh my God
What did I do
There’s chains on my legs
And there’s shackles on my shoes
I laid my wishes
All up for you
As for love well that’s another story
I got drunk off wait and sees
Found that I’m really in a war with me
Now slow down
I said I’m gonna get up
I want it bad but enough’s enough
I want to see how my own voice sounds
I got my ex-ray eye
That sees inside every door
Yes I’ve seen enough
I don’t need anybody these days
To say what I am for
I saw those fear filled eyes
That kept me tied to the floor
Yes I’ve seen enough
I won’t forget about it these days
Anymore
Wait a minute here
Where’s the glory
I was sold by all that went before me
I woke up
And now I can see
Down to the river
Gonna wash me clean
Now slow down
I said I’m gonna get up
I want it bad but enough’s enough
I want to see how my own voice sounds
I got my ex-ray eye
That sees inside every door
Yes I’ve seen enough
I don’t need anybody these days
To say what I am for
I saw those fear filled eyes
That kept me tied to the floor
Yes I’ve seen enough
I won’t forget about it these days
Livin’ for these days
Oh my God
What did I do
There’s chains on my legs
And there’s shackles on my shoes
I laid my wishes
All up for you
Yours Tonight lyrics - The 88
If they think that I’m lucky
Well, honey they’re right
They can say what they want to
They can all leave my sight
Cause after all I will be yours tonight
And it’s easy to say it
It’s harder to show
I can take you for granted
But I hope that you know
There’s nothing more
I will be yours tonight
It’s your voice that’s ringing in my ears
It’s the way I feel inside
It’s the thought that I get
When you are near
That I’m alright
And I don’t know where I’m going
I seem far away
And I’m tired of moving
And I sleep through the day
One thing’s for sure
I will be yours tonight
It’s your voice that’s ringing in my ears
It’s the way I feel inside
It’s the thought that I get
When you are near
That I’m alright
When I’m thinkin’
Lord I’m sinkin’
This all seems to much
Soon you will be
Sent right to me
And I know that’s enough
Sometimes the devil
Walks up to me
Says I know who you are
And I know what you need
But he’ll find the door
When I am yours tonight
Cause one thing’s for sure
I will be yours tonight
Well, honey they’re right
They can say what they want to
They can all leave my sight
Cause after all I will be yours tonight
And it’s easy to say it
It’s harder to show
I can take you for granted
But I hope that you know
There’s nothing more
I will be yours tonight
It’s your voice that’s ringing in my ears
It’s the way I feel inside
It’s the thought that I get
When you are near
That I’m alright
And I don’t know where I’m going
I seem far away
And I’m tired of moving
And I sleep through the day
One thing’s for sure
I will be yours tonight
It’s your voice that’s ringing in my ears
It’s the way I feel inside
It’s the thought that I get
When you are near
That I’m alright
When I’m thinkin’
Lord I’m sinkin’
This all seems to much
Soon you will be
Sent right to me
And I know that’s enough
Sometimes the devil
Walks up to me
Says I know who you are
And I know what you need
But he’ll find the door
When I am yours tonight
Cause one thing’s for sure
I will be yours tonight
I'll Follow You lyrics - The 88
You got this songbird to sing
You made me feel more than anything
You gave me reason to smile
And all the while
You gave me love
You saved a boy from himself
You gave a hand when he needed help
You tore me off of that wall
And most of all
You gave me love
And if you wanted to go
This I hope you know
I’ll follow you
And if you wanted to hide
No matter what you try
I’ll follow you
Yes I will follow you
You gave me something to say
You made me wake up for every day
You get me high when I’m low
So now you know
You gave me love
And if you wanted to go
This I hope you know
I’ll follow you
And if you wanted to hide
No matter what you try
I’ll follow you
You never know what you do
Or what you can get me through
And now I know
There’s nothing I thought I knew
You made me feel more than anything
You gave me reason to smile
And all the while
You gave me love
You saved a boy from himself
You gave a hand when he needed help
You tore me off of that wall
And most of all
You gave me love
And if you wanted to go
This I hope you know
I’ll follow you
And if you wanted to hide
No matter what you try
I’ll follow you
Yes I will follow you
You gave me something to say
You made me wake up for every day
You get me high when I’m low
So now you know
You gave me love
And if you wanted to go
This I hope you know
I’ll follow you
And if you wanted to hide
No matter what you try
I’ll follow you
You never know what you do
Or what you can get me through
And now I know
There’s nothing I thought I knew
Let Me Go lyrics - The 88
There’s a thousand hours
Walking here between us
And a million holes
To dodge here on the floor
And even though the sleeping wolves surround us
There’s you and me
And really nothing more
And I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
Please let me go
And I got lost
Amidst the smoking candles
And I got lost amidst the phony trees
And I got lost with things
I could not handle
And I was off to make a fool of me
And I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
Please let me go
For the sound that’s found right here
We’re going down
There’s no one here that cares enough to thrill me
But these suitcase tears will make us feel alive
And the parking lot is dark and always empty
It’ll fill up just as soon as it gets light
Walking here between us
And a million holes
To dodge here on the floor
And even though the sleeping wolves surround us
There’s you and me
And really nothing more
And I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
Please let me go
And I got lost
Amidst the smoking candles
And I got lost amidst the phony trees
And I got lost with things
I could not handle
And I was off to make a fool of me
And I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
Please let me go
For the sound that’s found right here
We’re going down
There’s no one here that cares enough to thrill me
But these suitcase tears will make us feel alive
And the parking lot is dark and always empty
It’ll fill up just as soon as it gets light
Who Is This lyrics - The 88
And who is this before me
And who is this before me
And who is this before me
I don’t care that no one really knows me
Command my rage
I wanna be your friend
Command my arms
I wanna be your friend
Ten thousand ways
For me to be your friend
But I killed ‘em all
Oh but I was lonely
And oh but I was lonely
And have you been so lonely
You don’t care
About the world outside
Take out my rage
I wanna be your friend
Command my legs
I wanna be your friend
Ten thousand ways
For me to be your friend
But I killed ‘em all
And who is this before me
And who is this before me
I don’t care that no one really knows me
Command my rage
I wanna be your friend
Command my arms
I wanna be your friend
Ten thousand ways
For me to be your friend
But I killed ‘em all
Oh but I was lonely
And oh but I was lonely
And have you been so lonely
You don’t care
About the world outside
Take out my rage
I wanna be your friend
Command my legs
I wanna be your friend
Ten thousand ways
For me to be your friend
But I killed ‘em all
Go Go Go lyrics - The 88
Well I was stranded on the ocean
I was drowning there at best
So I came unto your desert
There I tried to bide it
But I got so excited
I can get you what you wanted
I can get you what you need
You don't care if you don't show up
Cause I'm not in need you're such a friend indeed
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
And I got bones inside my body
You've got eyes inside your head
And if you saw the things I'm writing
You would hate my guts
And you probably think I'm nuts
And I will call you when I wanna
I will call you when I can
I don't care if you get lonely
I don't care that you you had me up all night
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
Well it was big and white
And on your shoulder
And I could see your throat
And there was no one home
And it was colder
And I could hear you moan
And there was no one here to talk about it
And I was in the mood
And so we go go go go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
I was drowning there at best
So I came unto your desert
There I tried to bide it
But I got so excited
I can get you what you wanted
I can get you what you need
You don't care if you don't show up
Cause I'm not in need you're such a friend indeed
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
And I got bones inside my body
You've got eyes inside your head
And if you saw the things I'm writing
You would hate my guts
And you probably think I'm nuts
And I will call you when I wanna
I will call you when I can
I don't care if you get lonely
I don't care that you you had me up all night
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
Well it was big and white
And on your shoulder
And I could see your throat

And there was no one here to talk about it
And I was in the mood
And so we go go go go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
Love You Anytime lyrics - The 88
Heavy is the heart
That reaches out in vain
And tears itself apart
And runs back for the same.
And many are the songs
That only go unheard.
But when our body's gone
We both will sing along
And we'll know every word.
And out in the yard
Hands will be shook
We'll laugh at all
The chances we took.
Yeah, you can wreck yourself
You can call me names
You can swear and say
I'm the one to blame.
You can raise your voice
You can roll your eyes
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime.
Cause there's no other place
That I would rather be
Cause when I look at you
You look right back at me.
So please don't be upset
And please don't be alarmed
We'll take it to the west
The place that I love best
And it'll be in your arms.
And out in the yard
Hands will be shook
We'll laugh at all
The chances we took.
And won't it be great
Yes, won't it be good
I will thank God
That wasn't so hard.
Yeah, you can wreck yourself
You can call me names
You can swear and say
I'm the one to blame.
You can raise your voice
You can roll your eyes
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime.
You can hate yourself
You can run and hide
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime.
Yeah, the earth can shake
And the rain can fall
But I won't be scared cause I...
Love, there's nothing you could
Ever do to get me to say goodbye.
Ahhhh
Ahhh ahhh ahhh
Ahhh ahhh ahhh
Yeah, you can wreck yourself
You can call me names
You can swear and say
I'm the one to blame.
You can raise your voice
You can roll your eyes

You can tell your friends
That I'm just a mess
You can stomp your feet
You can beat your chest.
You can hate yourself
You can run and hide
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime [x5]
That reaches out in vain
And tears itself apart
And runs back for the same.

Coming Home lyrics - The 88
Won't you be good to yourself
Don't you feel like coming home
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Blend all your days into weeks
Keep all your thoughts to yourself
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
Won't you bring light to my day
Won't you be somebody new
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
And tell me that you wanna be
With nobody else but me
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
But oh, it's not a joke
It's got a butler, and a maid, and a stove
It's nothing new
It's up to you
And when I feel it
I hope you feel it too
Did you hear it
Yeah I heard it
And I think she's coming home to me
La la la la la la la...
Don't you feel like coming home
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Blend all your days into weeks
Keep all your thoughts to yourself
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
Won't you bring light to my day
Won't you be somebody new
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
And tell me that you wanna be
With nobody else but me
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
But oh, it's not a joke
It's got a butler, and a maid, and a stove
It's nothing new
It's up to you
And when I feel it
I hope you feel it too
Did you hear it
Yeah I heard it
And I think she's coming home to me
La la la la la la la...
No One Here lyrics - The 88
Throw away the paper
And throw away the mail
Be bad if you wanna
Be prepared to feel
And all the expectations
I will never meet
Take you to the point
Of never believing
And you're tired of me
My love
But there's no one here who loves you like I do
Thank god this much is true
Thank god this much is true
And there's no one here who knows just how I feel
Thank god this much is real
Thank god this much is real
And broken down
So put it all behind you
Where you cannot see
And if you're growing older
Don't forget me
Cause I will disappoint you
Just because I can
And I will bring you back
To all that you say when you wanna call me friend
And every time I show you
How this is gonna end
My love
But there's no one here who loves you like I do
Thank god this much is true
Thank god this much is true
And there's no one here who knows just how I feel
Thank god this much is real
Thank god this much is real
And broken down
Cry if you wanna
Tear down the walls
But there's no one here who love you
Or who come each time you call
So throw away the paper
And throw away the mail
Be bad if you wanna
But be prepared to feel
But there's no one here who loves you like I do
Thank god this much is true
Thank god this much is true
And there's no one here who knows just how I feel
Thank god this much is real
Thank god this much is real
And broken down
And throw away the mail
Be bad if you wanna
Be prepared to feel
And all the expectations
I will never meet
Take you to the point
Of never believing
And you're tired of me
My love
But there's no one here who loves you like I do
Thank god this much is true
Thank god this much is true
And there's no one here who knows just how I feel
Thank god this much is real
Thank god this much is real
And broken down
So put it all behind you
Where you cannot see
And if you're growing older
Don't forget me
Cause I will disappoint you
Just because I can
And I will bring you back
To all that you say when you wanna call me friend
And every time I show you
How this is gonna end
My love
But there's no one here who loves you like I do
Thank god this much is true
Thank god this much is true
And there's no one here who knows just how I feel
Thank god this much is real
Thank god this much is real
And broken down

Tear down the walls
But there's no one here who love you
Or who come each time you call
So throw away the paper
And throw away the mail
Be bad if you wanna

But there's no one here who loves you like I do
Thank god this much is true
Thank god this much is true
And there's no one here who knows just how I feel
Thank god this much is real
Thank god this much is real
And broken down

Here I am, Its just so far to go
I had you in my sight, well then you turn out all the lights
I had a big idea, I was gonna let you know.
But my voice was strange. it changed before I let it go
But first you're so in love, then you're suffocated
But when you told me off. Well I was serenated
I'm awake. let me know I'm nothing, stick around and show me up
Like you're with the one you love. Wait. Act like you don't know me.
Stick around and show me up, like you're with the one you love
I see you out with him, and we go toe to toe
You broke my heart in half but still I couldn't help but laugh
Just when I thought I could.. never love you more
You said you'd rather see me dead, then at your door.
But first you're so in love, then you're suffocated
But when you told me off. Well I was serenated
I'm awake. let me know I'm nothing, stick around and show me up
Like you're with the one you love. Wait. Act like you don't know me.
Stick around and show me up like you're with the one you love
I should give you up, but I just can't get enough.
Just when I thought I could never love you more.
You said you'd rather see me dead then at your door.
Wait let me know I'm nothing, stick around and show me up, like you're with the one you love.
Wait. Act like you don't know me. Stick around and show me up like you're with the one you love
I had you in my sight, well then you turn out all the lights
I had a big idea, I was gonna let you know.
But my voice was strange. it changed before I let it go
But first you're so in love, then you're suffocated
But when you told me off. Well I was serenated
I'm awake. let me know I'm nothing, stick around and show me up
Like you're with the one you love. Wait. Act like you don't know me.
Stick around and show me up, like you're with the one you love
I see you out with him, and we go toe to toe
You broke my heart in half but still I couldn't help but laugh
Just when I thought I could.. never love you more
You said you'd rather see me dead, then at your door.
But first you're so in love, then you're suffocated
But when you told me off. Well I was serenated
I'm awake. let me know I'm nothing, stick around and show me up
Like you're with the one you love. Wait. Act like you don't know me.
Stick around and show me up like you're with the one you love
I should give you up, but I just can't get enough.
Just when I thought I could never love you more.
You said you'd rather see me dead then at your door.
Wait let me know I'm nothing, stick around and show me up, like you're with the one you love.
Wait. Act like you don't know me. Stick around and show me up like you're with the one you love
Sons And Daughters lyrics - The 88
Well it all began like a new routine
We were drunk, we were tired, we were sick, we were in between
And the jig was up when the sun went down
It was dark, it was mean, it was black, there was not a sound
And when the morning papers did not come
We shook our heads
We knew that we were done
And so we sat and prayed for just another try
Throw your babies in the water
Dah Dah Dah
Let your hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah Dah Dah
They don't have to grow up like you
They're not supposed to
Now the birds don't sing and the cars won't go
There's a lump in your throat
There's no songs on the radio
And the walls caved in, and the well went dry, and the mountain shook
And the people all wondered why
And in the morning I woke up to find there's someone here
There's someone in mind and so I hung my head and
And began to cry
Throw your babies in the water
Dah Dah Dah
Let your hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah Dah Dah
They don't have to grow up like you
They're not supposed to
Cradled whipped and mother's tongue
It's not hard to see what went wrong
If I told you once like I done told you twice,
You can beg you can kneel you can pray, you'll be sacrificed
And when the morning papers did not come
We shook our heads
We knew that we were done
And so we sat and prayed for just another try
Throw your babies in the water
Dah Dah Dah
Let your hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah Dah Dah
They don't have to grow up like you
They're not supposed to
Throw your babies in the water
Dah Dah Dah
Let your hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah Dah Dah
They don't have to grow up like you
They're not supposed to
We were drunk, we were tired, we were sick, we were in between
And the jig was up when the sun went down
It was dark, it was mean, it was black, there was not a sound
And when the morning papers did not come
We shook our heads
We knew that we were done
And so we sat and prayed for just another try
Throw your babies in the water
Dah Dah Dah
Let your hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah Dah Dah
They don't have to grow up like you
They're not supposed to
Now the birds don't sing and the cars won't go
There's a lump in your throat
There's no songs on the radio
And the walls caved in, and the well went dry, and the mountain shook
And the people all wondered why
And in the morning I woke up to find there's someone here
There's someone in mind and so I hung my head and
And began to cry
Throw your babies in the water
Dah Dah Dah
Let your hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah Dah Dah
They don't have to grow up like you
They're not supposed to
Cradled whipped and mother's tongue
It's not hard to see what went wrong
If I told you once like I done told you twice,
You can beg you can kneel you can pray, you'll be sacrificed
And when the morning papers did not come
We shook our heads
We knew that we were done
And so we sat and prayed for just another try
Throw your babies in the water
Dah Dah Dah
Let your hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah Dah Dah
They don't have to grow up like you
They're not supposed to
Throw your babies in the water
Dah Dah Dah
Let your hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah Dah Dah
They don't have to grow up like you
They're not supposed to
It's A Lot lyrics - The 88
Don't you worry, baby,
I told you I was comin' home
I went into the back,
Fell between the cracks,
All alone
So when you say you did,
Well, let's say you didn't
When you roll your eyes,
I think you it get it,
To memory,
That we could never be
I'm just thinking back
And stuck on your shoulder
and it drags you down,
It makes you feel old,
it's a photograph,
All that we never had
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
And it's the cardboard box,
Stuck in the corner
It's your backwood talk,
I'll make it in tone
It's your phonery (phonery phonery phonery,)
Manages everything
And it's the call I made,
When you were lucky
It's the slack I gave,
I read in a book
It's a magazine (magazine magazine magazine,)
All that you never see
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
And it's not,
Would you find
It's a lot? (a lot alot alot)
Don't you worry, baby,
I told you I was comin' home
I would never leave you there,
Waitin' in your chair,
All alone (all alone all alone all alone)
So when you say you did,
Well, let's say you didn't
When you roll your eyes,
I think you get it,
To memory (memory memory memory,)
All we could never be
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
And it's not,
Could you find
It's a lot?
Don't you worry, baby
Don't you worry, baby
Don't you worry, baby
Don't you worry, baby
Don't you worry, baby
Don't you worry, baby
Don't you worry, baby
I told you I was comin' home

Like You Do lyrics - The 88
My gun exploded
Blew a hole right through the wall
And have you noticed that I come each time you call
I’m gonna run through the door
Down to the floor
It must be true
Nobody does it like you do
Now I’ve been shakin’
Like a leaf up in a tree
And you’ve been takin’
Till there’s nothing left of me
I’m gonna run through the door
Down to the floor
It must be true
Nobody does it like you do
And I’ve been countin’
Every minute of the day
Just for the sound of
All those dirty things you say
Blew a hole right through the wall
And have you noticed that I come each time you call
I’m gonna run through the door
Down to the floor
It must be true
Nobody does it like you do
Now I’ve been shakin’
Like a leaf up in a tree
And you’ve been takin’
Till there’s nothing left of me
I’m gonna run through the door
Down to the floor
It must be true
Nobody does it like you do
And I’ve been countin’
Every minute of the day
Just for the sound of
All those dirty things you say
Save Your Breath lyrics - The 88
Let me outside so I can breathe
I’m already flesh and blood
At least that’s what I think
Hand me your card and go sit still
You don’t really wanna call
I bet you never will
And if you stray you wont get far
You get reeled in politely
And if you stay you learn to crawl
You won’t get hated nightly anymore
And we’re waiting for the first time
And we’re hoping for the best
We appreciate your kindness
We love you all to death
But you should probably save your breath
Let me back out so I can leave
I don’t want this anymore
There’s nothing up my sleeve
And if you stray you won’t get far
You get reeled in politely
And if you stay you learn to crawl
You won’t get hated nightly anymore
And we’re waiting for the first time
And we’re hoping for the best
We appreciate your kindness
We love you all to death
But you should probably save your breath
Roll on chasing dreams
Don’t take me from this song
I ought to be gone
I’m already flesh and blood
At least that’s what I think
Hand me your card and go sit still
You don’t really wanna call
I bet you never will
And if you stray you wont get far
You get reeled in politely
And if you stay you learn to crawl
You won’t get hated nightly anymore
And we’re waiting for the first time
And we’re hoping for the best
We appreciate your kindness
We love you all to death
But you should probably save your breath
Let me back out so I can leave
I don’t want this anymore
There’s nothing up my sleeve
And if you stray you won’t get far
You get reeled in politely
And if you stay you learn to crawl
You won’t get hated nightly anymore
And we’re waiting for the first time
And we’re hoping for the best
We appreciate your kindness
We love you all to death
But you should probably save your breath
Roll on chasing dreams
Don’t take me from this song
I ought to be gone
Waiting For The Next Drug lyrics - The 88
When you were young
What did you dream?
What did you love?
What would you be?
A rush from your head...
Down to your feet
And everything stopped.
And you wanted it
So much.
You said you needed it
So much.
But then you hated it
So much.
You said you took it down
You took it now
You wanna go back to those bad days
Cryin like you've never been hurt
Waitin for the next drug
Oh Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh Ohh-oh
You said you'll never be hurt
Oh Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Ah ah ah
Under your coat
Under your sleeves
Now you're a ghost
Nobody sees
You lay down your head
But you'll never sleep
You'll never forget...
How you wanted it
So much.
You said you needed it
So much.
But then you hated it
So much.
You said you took it down
You took it now
You wanna go back to those bad days
Beatin on somebodys car
Waitin for the next drug

You wanna go back to those bad days

We Felt Alive lyrics - The 88
There was nobody home so we ran upstairs
And you tore off your clothes and I sat and I stared
There’s a million and one things that I’d like to try
So we went to the top but we got much too high
At least we felt alive
We rolled like pigs in the mud
We left our worries behind
Yes, yes
And we couldn’t believe what we saw and we cared
But they’ll probably tell us that no one was there
With the gold in your teeth and a gleam in your eye
And the rays of the sun burn a hole through the sky
At least we felt alive
We rolled like pigs in the mud
We thumbed our noses at time
We threw our clothes in the dirt
We left our worries behind
I saw it so well
And I could tell we were alive
When the thoughts in your head get the upper hand
And your mom and your dad never understand
And you want them to know but you can’t even try
‘Cause they call you a thief while they’re rollin’ their eyes
We rolled like pigs in the mud
We thumbed our noses at time
We threw our clothes in the dirt
We left our worries behind
We tossed our cares in the weeds
Our hearts beat right through our chests
With everything that we need
I have to say we were blessed
And I saw it so well
And I could tell we were alive
And you tore off your clothes and I sat and I stared
There’s a million and one things that I’d like to try
So we went to the top but we got much too high
At least we felt alive
We rolled like pigs in the mud
We left our worries behind
Yes, yes
And we couldn’t believe what we saw and we cared
But they’ll probably tell us that no one was there
With the gold in your teeth and a gleam in your eye
And the rays of the sun burn a hole through the sky
At least we felt alive
We rolled like pigs in the mud
We thumbed our noses at time
We threw our clothes in the dirt
We left our worries behind
I saw it so well
And I could tell we were alive
When the thoughts in your head get the upper hand
And your mom and your dad never understand
And you want them to know but you can’t even try
‘Cause they call you a thief while they’re rollin’ their eyes
We rolled like pigs in the mud
We thumbed our noses at time
We threw our clothes in the dirt
We left our worries behind
We tossed our cares in the weeds
Our hearts beat right through our chests
With everything that we need
I have to say we were blessed
And I saw it so well
And I could tell we were alive
Hide Another Mistake lyrics - The 88
Over and over
They just say no sir
And now it's a big blur
I hid it up my sleeve
You gotta believe me
Hey I need it badly
And they never see me
Those sentimental fools
And I got the west coast sunshine
But it don't mean a thing
I'm getting over like I knew that I would
I'm feeling older than a younger man should
But one of these days I'll finally make good
And hide another mistake
I'm out on the sidewalk
I'm put in a headlock
I tried but I can't stop
I put it in my shoe
And I got the west coast sunshine
But it don't mean a thing
I'm getting over like I knew that I would
I'm feeling older than a younger man should
But one of these days I'll finally make good
And hide another mistake
This is a model tongue
This is the start of what's already done
This is the part that you eat when there's nowhere to turn
I'm getting over like I knew that I would
I'm feeling older than a younger man should
But one of these days I'll finally make good
And hide another mistake
I'm getting over like I knew that I would
I'm feeling older than a younger man should
But one of these days I'll finally make good
And hide another mistake
They just say no sir
And now it's a big blur
I hid it up my sleeve
You gotta believe me
Hey I need it badly
And they never see me
Those sentimental fools
And I got the west coast sunshine
But it don't mean a thing
I'm getting over like I knew that I would
I'm feeling older than a younger man should
But one of these days I'll finally make good
And hide another mistake
I'm out on the sidewalk
I'm put in a headlock
I tried but I can't stop
I put it in my shoe
And I got the west coast sunshine
But it don't mean a thing
I'm getting over like I knew that I would
I'm feeling older than a younger man should
But one of these days I'll finally make good
And hide another mistake
This is a model tongue
This is the start of what's already done
This is the part that you eat when there's nowhere to turn
I'm getting over like I knew that I would
I'm feeling older than a younger man should
But one of these days I'll finally make good
And hide another mistake
I'm getting over like I knew that I would
I'm feeling older than a younger man should
But one of these days I'll finally make good
And hide another mistake
All 'Cause Of You lyrics - The 88
I've been sinking through the drain of love
lift my eyes to skies of up above
listen to me this is how I feel
since I knew you all my thoughts are real
you're the only one I wanna do

and it's all 'cause of you
I've been moving cause my heart is true
telling everyone I know bout you
tell your mama that you won't be home
let your daddy know you're not alone

and all those things you know I'd never be

Nobody Cares lyrics - The 88
Open your ears this is a story
It isn't clear is he a fool or a god?
But I don't care who knows it
And I don't care who sees
Lift up my head and roll into a dream
Get out the way he's never sorry
Lives in a play he knows it's always your fault
But I don't care who knows it
And I don't care who saw
I turn my head and hope that it'll stop
'Cause nobody cares what you've been through
And nobody cares how much you do
And nobody cares what kind of drugs you're on
I can't take anymore fun
Help on the way isn't she pretty?
It's a new day he feels like a comic book god
But I don't care who knows it
And I don't care who sees
Lift up my head and roll into a dream
'Cause nobody cares what you've been through
And nobody cares how much you do
And nobody cares what kind of drugs you're on
I can't take anymore fun
But then you shake
And then you moan
Come to find out
You're alone
But then you choke
You got another thing stuck in your throat
Then you find out
You were home
'Cause nobody cares what you've been through
And nobody cares how much you do
And nobody cares what kind of drugs you're on
I can't take anymore fun
'Cause nobody cares what you've been through
And nobody cares how much you do
And nobody cares what kind of drugs you're on
I can't take anymore fun
It isn't clear is he a fool or a god?
But I don't care who knows it
And I don't care who sees
Lift up my head and roll into a dream
Get out the way he's never sorry
Lives in a play he knows it's always your fault
But I don't care who knows it
And I don't care who saw
I turn my head and hope that it'll stop
'Cause nobody cares what you've been through
And nobody cares how much you do
And nobody cares what kind of drugs you're on
I can't take anymore fun
Help on the way isn't she pretty?
It's a new day he feels like a comic book god
But I don't care who knows it
And I don't care who sees
Lift up my head and roll into a dream
'Cause nobody cares what you've been through
And nobody cares how much you do
And nobody cares what kind of drugs you're on
I can't take anymore fun
But then you shake
And then you moan
Come to find out
You're alone
But then you choke
You got another thing stuck in your throat
Then you find out
You were home
'Cause nobody cares what you've been through
And nobody cares how much you do
And nobody cares what kind of drugs you're on
I can't take anymore fun
'Cause nobody cares what you've been through
And nobody cares how much you do
And nobody cares what kind of drugs you're on
I can't take anymore fun
Bowls lyrics - The 88
Don't believe anybody else
Fantasy falling for yourself I, I
Don't believe anything you like
Got to keep pulling at your life I, I
I feel like I'm 18
With the bowls on the scene
And the big poster wet dream
Waiting for my by the way
Praying for a runaway
I had songs in my throat
I had the t.v. remote
And when a box would come
I could always ask for some
Lazy eyes would just slip out from their lids
Please don't tear off my head
The things that I said
Only make me see god
And if I keep calling from the back
Turn to see anybody crack I, I
I got my knees stuck up in my head
Then you know all the things I said I, I
Fantasy falling for yourself I, I
Don't believe anything you like
Got to keep pulling at your life I, I
I feel like I'm 18
With the bowls on the scene
And the big poster wet dream
Waiting for my by the way
Praying for a runaway
I had songs in my throat
I had the t.v. remote
And when a box would come
I could always ask for some
Lazy eyes would just slip out from their lids
Please don't tear off my head
The things that I said
Only make me see god
And if I keep calling from the back
Turn to see anybody crack I, I
I got my knees stuck up in my head
Then you know all the things I said I, I
Head Cut Off lyrics - The 88
Fallin to fall
Made you feel small
Showed up to crawl away
Say what you said
Made up my head
No one is led astray
Now my bed is burning
Running around with my head cut off
And the big ones see my churning
Giving it up like I've had enough
I know it's wrong
Made it too long
Now it's a song to play
All of my time
Made out of rhymes
Not all the lines can stay
All of those mountains burn for today
Call off your cop
Beg him to stop
Show him your not that way
Made you feel small
Showed up to crawl away
Say what you said
Made up my head
No one is led astray
Now my bed is burning
Running around with my head cut off
And the big ones see my churning
Giving it up like I've had enough
I know it's wrong
Made it too long
Now it's a song to play
All of my time
Made out of rhymes
Not all the lines can stay
All of those mountains burn for today
Call off your cop
Beg him to stop
Show him your not that way
Battle Scar lyrics - The 88
I know you can and you should but you won't dear
Took out a part of your heart when they don't cheer
Was it a medal you got when you woke there?
On your own dear
When you were young you were hung up and lied to
Every man with a plan got inside you
Was it the bottle you dropped when they found you?
On your own dear
And it's clear right on the page
This is your battlescar
And it's clear, clear as the day
You got your battlescar
Hey I know, ya I know, ya I know
Now that you're tossed on a sea of emotion
Every cut is as deep as the ocean
Was it a drag when you woke up so lonesome?
On your own dear
The fun that you don't really need
Opens you up like books
And pays you a lot to talk
When you don't even know
This scar will fade in time
Took out a part of your heart when they don't cheer
Was it a medal you got when you woke there?
On your own dear
When you were young you were hung up and lied to
Every man with a plan got inside you
Was it the bottle you dropped when they found you?
On your own dear
And it's clear right on the page
This is your battlescar
And it's clear, clear as the day
You got your battlescar
Hey I know, ya I know, ya I know
Now that you're tossed on a sea of emotion
Every cut is as deep as the ocean
Was it a drag when you woke up so lonesome?
On your own dear
The fun that you don't really need
Opens you up like books
And pays you a lot to talk
When you don't even know
This scar will fade in time
Coming Home lyrics - the 88
Won't you be good to yourself
Don't you feel like coming home
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Blend all your days into weeks
Keep all your thoughts to yourself
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
Won't you bring light to my day
Won't you be somebody new
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
And tell me that you wanna be
With nobody else but me
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
But oh, it's not a joke
It's got a butler, and a maid, and a stove
It's nothing new
It's up to you
And when I feel it
I hope you feel it too
Did you hear it
Yeah I heard it
And I think she's coming home to me
La la la la la la la...
Don't you feel like coming home
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Blend all your days into weeks
Keep all your thoughts to yourself
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
Won't you bring light to my day
Won't you be somebody new
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
And tell me that you wanna be
With nobody else but me
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
But oh, it's not a joke
It's got a butler, and a maid, and a stove
It's nothing new
It's up to you
And when I feel it
I hope you feel it too
Did you hear it
Yeah I heard it
And I think she's coming home to me
La la la la la la la...
You Belong To Me lyrics - The 88
I treat it like a high school dance
Waiting in the wings for my big chance
But I would only stare at my shoes
You belong to me I belong to you
I could tell an antique lie
Full of all the things I want to hide
But that would only lead to the truth
You belong to me I belong to you
But I'm lazy and I'll pull you down
Where you won't want to be
And I'm tasting what's pouring out of you
What am I supposed to do?
I could play a trick so strange
Cover up my ears and pray for rain
But that would only give you the blues
You belong to me I belong to you
Waiting in the wings for my big chance
But I would only stare at my shoes
You belong to me I belong to you
I could tell an antique lie
Full of all the things I want to hide
But that would only lead to the truth
You belong to me I belong to you
But I'm lazy and I'll pull you down
Where you won't want to be
And I'm tasting what's pouring out of you
What am I supposed to do?
I could play a trick so strange
Cover up my ears and pray for rain
But that would only give you the blues
You belong to me I belong to you
Haunt You lyrics - the 88
I got a lot of something you ought to try
I'm gonna haunt you for the rest of your life
I got a lot of catching up left to do
Just for me and for you
At the heart of something I wanna say
I'm gonna haunt you for the rest of your days
I got a lot of things that I'm gonna prove
Just for me and for you
Rollin and a reelin with your friends down the stairs
Knockin on the ceiling just to see if I'm there
When you see me bleeding don't you know that I care
I got a lot of something you oughta be
I'm gonna haunt you till you want me to leave
I got a lot things that I'm gonna do
Just for me and for you
I'm gonna haunt you for the rest of your life
I got a lot of catching up left to do
Just for me and for you
At the heart of something I wanna say
I'm gonna haunt you for the rest of your days
I got a lot of things that I'm gonna prove
Just for me and for you
Rollin and a reelin with your friends down the stairs
Knockin on the ceiling just to see if I'm there
When you see me bleeding don't you know that I care
I got a lot of something you oughta be
I'm gonna haunt you till you want me to leave
I got a lot things that I'm gonna do
Just for me and for you
Jesus Is Good lyrics - The 88
Reading bones in a record
Silly tunes break
Hoping to shake
Out of bounds up and down pick a cliche
Any thought is a lesson
Beating 'em through
Eating time too
Smoking crack in the back waiting for you
Feet slide and heat slide and breeze before me
Making trouble out of junk
Feet slide and heat slide and singing sorry
Staying home just like a monk
But jesus is good
The angels all screamed he could
But I'm waiting here just to leave
All this life's just too much to believe
Making art like a beggar
Looking for crumbs
Asking for some
Easing out your teasing mouth you sit back and hum
Getting high off a record
Laying back too
Hoping to prove
On the phones easy moans all in the grooves
Silly tunes break
Hoping to shake
Out of bounds up and down pick a cliche
Any thought is a lesson
Beating 'em through
Eating time too
Smoking crack in the back waiting for you
Feet slide and heat slide and breeze before me
Making trouble out of junk
Feet slide and heat slide and singing sorry
Staying home just like a monk
But jesus is good
The angels all screamed he could
But I'm waiting here just to leave
All this life's just too much to believe
Making art like a beggar
Looking for crumbs
Asking for some
Easing out your teasing mouth you sit back and hum
Getting high off a record
Laying back too
Hoping to prove
On the phones easy moans all in the grooves
Everybody Loves Me lyrics - The 88
Everybody loves me but me ooh ooh ooh ooh eee
Feel so big but then I'm small
Wrote the writing on the wall
And I'm just looking out for me
Everybody needs me but me ooh ooh ooh ooh eee
I got the big old fashioned head
I can't believe what It just said
And it's just looking out for me
But when my heart was good I knew I had it coming
My love was long and sick and tired of running
And i'd get hot just thinking about my dreams
Feeling hazy like tired and lazy like
Anybody can
Feel the need to know where I need to go
There's gotta be a plan
Now I'm older too and all I wanna do
All I need to know
Does it got to be so slow
Someone to say hey you're o.k. see
Feel so big but then I'm small
Wrote the writing on the wall
And I'm just looking out for me
Everybody needs me but me ooh ooh ooh ooh eee
I got the big old fashioned head
I can't believe what It just said
And it's just looking out for me
But when my heart was good I knew I had it coming
My love was long and sick and tired of running
And i'd get hot just thinking about my dreams
Feeling hazy like tired and lazy like
Anybody can
Feel the need to know where I need to go
There's gotta be a plan
Now I'm older too and all I wanna do
All I need to know
Does it got to be so slow
Someone to say hey you're o.k. see
Not Enough lyrics - The 88
Got a new revelation
Wrote on the wall
Ya I got a new inspiration
Watching you fall
I put a hole in your pocket
That you never saw
Ya I put a hole in your pocket
You never saw
So now you wanna get back all your love
That you say is coming in from above
And you promise that you got a new tune
Well that's not enough
I got a new concentration
Cause you never call
Ya I got a new invitation
Watching you crawl
So now you wanna get back all your love
That you say is coming in from above
And you promise that you got a new tune
But you never even know what to do
What's the point of talking if that's not enough
Wrote on the wall
Ya I got a new inspiration
Watching you fall
I put a hole in your pocket
That you never saw
Ya I put a hole in your pocket
You never saw
So now you wanna get back all your love
That you say is coming in from above
And you promise that you got a new tune
Well that's not enough
I got a new concentration
Cause you never call
Ya I got a new invitation
Watching you crawl
So now you wanna get back all your love
That you say is coming in from above
And you promise that you got a new tune
But you never even know what to do
What's the point of talking if that's not enough
All The Same lyrics - The 88
I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly
I don't care no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually
What you'll do
I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here
Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same
Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden
And I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am
I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here
Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same
Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
I's all the same
In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same
Go ahead say it you're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same
As long as you come to me
I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly
I don't care no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually
What you'll do
I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here
Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same
Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden
And I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am
I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here
Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand

And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same
Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
I's all the same
In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same
Go ahead say it you're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same
Afterlife lyrics - The 88
Honey I don’t think it’s funny
Where is all the money I need you to save me
Don’t be how’s the dope below me
Take it out to show me
Dying just to throw me
Downcast whiplash and down in the stall
You’ll believe me
Baby I need hope to save me
Tell me I’m not crazy I know that it’s sold
It’s very soon very soon
Afterlife I saw big
Things and they were coming for me
And tar in tile life Afterlife
Where is all the money I need you to save me
Don’t be how’s the dope below me
Take it out to show me
Dying just to throw me
Downcast whiplash and down in the stall
You’ll believe me
Baby I need hope to save me
Tell me I’m not crazy I know that it’s sold
It’s very soon very soon
Afterlife I saw big
Things and they were coming for me
And tar in tile life Afterlife
Elbow Blues lyrics - The 88
Clean your life away under the God
Mama the gun papa the gun
And those sea racing sidewalk genes splicing in the midday sun
Chasing the one
Tell your friends today
Show em your mop
Everything’s good, everything’s good
And those mad raving deportees rotting in the midday sun
Chasing the one
Elbow blues take your pill
Today under the sun and tell it to stop, tell it to stop
And those sound slaving amputees
Crawling in the midday sun
Chasing the one
Elbow blues
Each time we go
It’s like we know
It’s not the end
Mama the gun papa the gun
And those sea racing sidewalk genes splicing in the midday sun
Chasing the one
Tell your friends today
Show em your mop
Everything’s good, everything’s good
And those mad raving deportees rotting in the midday sun
Chasing the one
Elbow blues take your pill
Today under the sun and tell it to stop, tell it to stop
And those sound slaving amputees
Crawling in the midday sun
Chasing the one
Elbow blues
Each time we go
It’s like we know
It’s not the end
How Good It Can Be lyrics - The 88
With the cops on your lips it's a holy routine
If you'd stop all your trips you could see what I mean
I forgot not to slip 'bout you're under 18
You had it in your hands, had it in your hands
You had it in your hands, had it in your hands
your hands, oh oh hoo
Leave it up to me
It's a known disease
Keep it in your fleece
Don't worry about the custom police, don't
I'll tell you just how good it can be, this lazy summer
But you got no relief from the pain in your head
And it's hollow and greased and it says that you're dead
But you make fun and tease and the things that you said
They always stab your back, always stab your back...
They always stab your back, always stab your back
Your back, oh ho hoo
Leave it up to me
It's a known disease
Keep it in your fleece
Don't worry about the custom police, don't
I'll tell you just how good it can be, this lazy summer
They always stab your back, always stab your back...
They always stab your back, always stab your back
Your back, ouh ho hoo

I'll tell you just how good it can be, this lazy summer
But you got no relief from the pain in your head
And it's hollow and greased and it says that you're dead
But you make fun and tease and the things that you said
They always stab your back, always stab your back...
They always stab your back, always stab your back
Your back
Leave it up to me
It's a known disease
Keep it in your fleece
Don't worry about the custom police, don't
I'll tell you just how good it can be, this lazy summer
Leave it up to me

Your back

Kind Of Light lyrics - The 88
Your cry seat
Has the smell of a whore
It might seem
Never fun anymore
Call up your thief
He knows the score
He lies believe
It’s funny honey
It’s a good night
For a crime in the dark
You saw light
Has the power to spark
I know you saw the kind of light
You had to find
The funny honey
Your siamese twin has gone to your head
The shining
Left a glow and you’re dead
We say you ain’t done
I don’t fade a won
It’s so lonely
I could see you were there
You tongue me
In the heart of your care
I know it’s the same as it was
But you go and it’s only because
Has the smell of a whore
It might seem
Never fun anymore
Call up your thief
He knows the score
He lies believe
It’s funny honey
It’s a good night
For a crime in the dark
You saw light
Has the power to spark
I know you saw the kind of light
You had to find
The funny honey
Your siamese twin has gone to your head
The shining
Left a glow and you’re dead
We say you ain’t done
I don’t fade a won
It’s so lonely
I could see you were there
You tongue me
In the heart of your care
I know it’s the same as it was
But you go and it’s only because
No Use Left For Me lyrics - The 88
Bleeding from your head
You should pull it out instead
No one comes to see
Failing from the start
Taking every scene apart
Loathing life and me
And everybody thinks I’m gone for good
But I believe I know my head
Breaking up the cop
Begging everyone to stop
Holding lines for free
And everybody thinks you’re gone for good
But I believe I know you’re head
Did you hear about Ryan and his broken head
Did you learn about your fashion layin on your bed
We had time
Stocked and barreled find
You have no use left for me
Yes and you find you have no use left for me
Every little plan
Well it’s waving like a hand
Now too far to see
And everybody thinks we’re
Gone for good
But I believe I know our head
Did you run across Richard with a hand that
Could did you race ‘round bleedin like you said you would
Yeah we had time
Stocked and barreled find
You have no use left for me
Yes and you find you have no use left for me
You should pull it out instead
No one comes to see
Failing from the start
Taking every scene apart
Loathing life and me
And everybody thinks I’m gone for good
But I believe I know my head
Breaking up the cop
Begging everyone to stop
Holding lines for free
And everybody thinks you’re gone for good
But I believe I know you’re head
Did you hear about Ryan and his broken head
Did you learn about your fashion layin on your bed
We had time
Stocked and barreled find
You have no use left for me
Yes and you find you have no use left for me
Every little plan
Well it’s waving like a hand
Now too far to see
And everybody thinks we’re
Gone for good
But I believe I know our head
Did you run across Richard with a hand that
Could did you race ‘round bleedin like you said you would
Yeah we had time
Stocked and barreled find
You have no use left for me
Yes and you find you have no use left for me

All big enough to walk

Hate Me lyrics - The 88
Thank God you’re an open book
Thank God you’re a scam
Thank God you’re a runaway
Thank God for your man
I’m giving thanks that you’re old enough to hate me
Thank God you’re a throw away
Thank God for your fans
Thank God you’re cryin meat
And thank God that you’re damned
I’m giving thanks that you’re old enough to hate me
We could run away
Thank God for your heaven hook
Thank God you’re a dream
Thank God for the cancer beat
Thank God you’re a scheme
I’m giving thanks that you’re old enough to hate me
We could run away
Thank God you’re a scam
Thank God you’re a runaway
Thank God for your man
I’m giving thanks that you’re old enough to hate me
Thank God you’re a throw away
Thank God for your fans

Thank God for the cancer beat
Thank God you’re a scheme
I’m giving thanks that you’re old enough to hate me
We could run away
I'm A Man lyrics - The 88
It’s life like mine
It’s a dope-sick play
It’s a blue-faced find
Gonna die today
It’s a plastic heaven
It’s the all white tan
I’m a man
It’s a black tooth mess
It’s the acne scar
It’s a sharp tool blessed
It’s that VCR
It’s a counterfeit vision
It’s a half-ass scam
I’m a man
Break me down easy
Show me your sign
Take me back home
I know I’ll be fine
Trace me your outline
Tie me to bed
Shake me to heaven
Soon we’ll be dead
It’s a cold gray lie
It’s a brain dead itch
It’s the constant sigh
It’s supposed to stick
It’s the tantric tension
It’s a well-made plan
I’m a man
It’s a pawnshop dream
It’s those bathroom blues
It’s a frightened scream
It’s the Purcell shoes
It’s a phony decision
It’s a half-assed scam
I’m a man
It’s a dope-sick play
It’s a blue-faced find
Gonna die today
It’s a plastic heaven
It’s the all white tan
I’m a man
It’s a black tooth mess
It’s the acne scar
It’s a sharp tool blessed
It’s that VCR
It’s a counterfeit vision
It’s a half-ass scam
I’m a man
Break me down easy
Show me your sign
Take me back home
I know I’ll be fine
Trace me your outline
Tie me to bed
Shake me to heaven
Soon we’ll be dead
It’s a cold gray lie
It’s a brain dead itch
It’s the constant sigh
It’s supposed to stick
It’s the tantric tension
It’s a well-made plan
I’m a man
It’s a pawnshop dream
It’s those bathroom blues
It’s a frightened scream
It’s the Purcell shoes
It’s a phony decision
It’s a half-assed scam
I’m a man
Melting In The Sun lyrics - the 88
Melting in the sun
She was undone
Bringing sheets for hats
Sensing I was small
I became tall
Swinging meats and bats
Doesn’t it seem
We broke it off too soon
Doesn’t it seem
We know the stalling tune
Running out the back
Dashing for crack
Keeping Christ below
Sensing I was done
I became one
Freezing, iced, and slow
It’s not enough
And when I’m up
It’s not enough
But now I know
It’s only me
Sunday Afternoon lyrics - The 88
I don’t know
I think it just depends
I’m on the high and flyin morning
It’s just a Sunday afternoon
I’m feeling God and I believe him
I don’t know
I think it’s just the pills
I’m on the high and flyin morning
It’s just a Sunday afternoon
I’m feeling God and I believe him
When all of your prostitutes are gone
It’ll all be clear
When all of your anibuse is gone
Well I’ll still be here
Fire up all the bad luck that you knew
Because it seems like something’s got to give
I think it just depends
I’m on the high and flyin morning
It’s just a Sunday afternoon
I’m feeling God and I believe him
I don’t know
I think it’s just the pills
I’m on the high and flyin morning
It’s just a Sunday afternoon
I’m feeling God and I believe him
When all of your prostitutes are gone
It’ll all be clear
When all of your anibuse is gone
Well I’ll still be here
Fire up all the bad luck that you knew
Because it seems like something’s got to give
Something Had Me Good lyrics - The 88
Back when I was skin and bones
I looked up I wasn’t alone
But I was the one
And I was getting it done
But something had me good
Back when I was ma and pa
I knew with them I held up my guard
But I was engaged
And I would sit in the cage
But something had me good
Look like a woman
And feeling like a kid
Most asking something yeah
But something had to give
I knew your baby
I held it in my hand
And I knew that maybe
I might have a plan
Back when I was on the top
I had a big fat gob of your heart
Yeah but I was the one
And I was getting it done
But something had me good
Back when I was skin and bones
I looked up I wasn’t alone
But I was engaged
And would sit in a cage
Yeah but something had me good
I knew your baby
I held it in my hand
And most said that maybe
Yeah but I was a summoned man
I held the coffin
And I held the breaks
And I knew that maybe
Something had to take
I looked up I wasn’t alone
But I was the one
And I was getting it done
But something had me good
Back when I was ma and pa
I knew with them I held up my guard
But I was engaged
And I would sit in the cage
But something had me good
Look like a woman
And feeling like a kid
Most asking something yeah
But something had to give
I knew your baby
I held it in my hand
And I knew that maybe
I might have a plan
Back when I was on the top
I had a big fat gob of your heart
Yeah but I was the one
And I was getting it done
But something had me good
Back when I was skin and bones
I looked up I wasn’t alone
But I was engaged
And would sit in a cage
Yeah but something had me good
I knew your baby
I held it in my hand
And most said that maybe
Yeah but I was a summoned man
I held the coffin
And I held the breaks
And I knew that maybe
Something had to take
Hard To Be You lyrics - the 88 lyrics
Day two made you
I could hear the sign
Fall down way down
I would never lie
I know it’s hard to be you
Dust and the high that you knew
Giving you hope from the sign
I know everything’s fine
Give me something I don’t ever own
Look down way down
I can hear the moan
I know it’s hard to be you
Dust and the high that you knew
Leaving you hope from the sun
I know everything’s fine
Got no life
Wait for voice to realize my mind
Break out make out
Everything is mine
I know it’s hard to be me
Drug from the line in the sea
Doesn’t it offer the
Doesn’t it offer the
I know everything’s changed
I could hear the sign
Fall down way down
I would never lie
I know it’s hard to be you
Dust and the high that you knew
Giving you hope from the sign
I know everything’s fine
Give me something I don’t ever own
Look down way down
I can hear the moan
I know it’s hard to be you
Dust and the high that you knew
Leaving you hope from the sun
I know everything’s fine
Got no life
Wait for voice to realize my mind
Break out make out
Everything is mine
I know it’s hard to be me
Drug from the line in the sea
Doesn’t it offer the
Doesn’t it offer the
I know everything’s changed
