Down the harborside there's a place
Run by a military man he's making pizzas in the back room
He's got puzzles on the wall of jigsaw portraits on the ceiling
And he never sleeps alone except when he does
I worked there as a boy cleaning plates and knives the whole nine yards you know how it goes
And the military man was still just getting his marketing right
He serves cold turkey on a hot dish and keeps the breakfasts continental
And he never eats alone except when he does
And he always does
Come down the harborside
We'll be there
Come down the harborside
We'll be there
Been waiting all my life to be there
Come down the harborside
We'll be there
That's Harborside Pizza off exit 3!
Harborside Pizza off exit 3!
Come down the harborside
We'll be there
Come down the harborside
We'll be there
Been waiting all my life to be there
Come down the harborside
We'll be there
That's Harborside Pizza off exit 3!
Harborside Pizza off exit 3!

Take heed take care Verona fair
My hearts despair may be a trifle
But God above our hells below
Put down your bow and fetch your rifle
These sad hours seem so long
I hear no laugh no song
Is there no one belongs to only me?
Who'll take her loving thread
And weave it through my head
Stitch up my soul of lead
And let me love her?
I know I'll love her
Forever and always
We'll never part but
Tomorrow is too late
Dance with me
Dance with me tonight
Can you make time for me?
Done with the compass now
The chart is o'er the prow
Might I but moor somehow in you tonight
The moon hymns quiet commands
To take you by the hand
To lead you on the sands
She guides our dancing
And here we're dancing
Forever and always
We'll never part but
Tomorrow is too late
Dance with me
Dance with me tonight

Shuffle Song

Haven’t been a lot of places
Never had one fling
And I never seen another girl jive and swing
The way you do I swear it’s true
Heard you had em grooving up at Juilliard
Fooling in the pool hall
Rocking round the yule ball
Running through the school yard
And I need to ask you please girl
If it’s alright, if you don’t mind babe
Then could you and me maybe dance to a shuffle song
You and me maybe dance to a shuffle song
I wonder
I say you wanna boogie? You don’t know
Bunny hop? You gotta go
Rock and roll? Stroll? Nos are taking their toll
And I know I ain’t a dancer but baby I wonder
If it’s alright, if you don’t mind babe
Then could you and me maybe dance to a shuffle song
You and me maybe dance to a shuffle song
You and me gonna dance to a shuffle song

Emily

Little Emily come stand close to me
Pick shells and pebbles we by the sea
But our time is short here and love takes a while
And the ocean swells to see you smile
Everyone wants piece of your love
Me too
Everyone wants piece of your love
Me too
While you were away I wrote out
What I want to say but I can't now
Everyone wants piece of your love
Me too
Every day I dream Emily
Ham and Uncle Dan sleep on the sand
While we flitter like young mavishes
Only home for tea and radishes and sweets
Everyone wants piece of your love
Me too
Everyone wants piece of your love
Me too

Sunsweeper ~ Egg

Boy I love my fun
But I hate the sun
Cuz he can't play it cool
I've stayed inside all day
And I've drawn the shades
Trying to keep my cool
Trying to keep my cool
Trying to keep my cool
Make my way downstairs
Trying to get some air
Trying to feel the cool breeze
But Christ there goes that sun
Sweeps me like a broom
Back up to my room
So I go back to sleep
So I go back to sleep
Baby mouse dead in the driveway
Dropped by a blue jay like an egg on a pan
A pink little lump
Melting in the sun
Soon to be stuck there like rodent gum
Baby mouse dead in the driveway
Dropped by a blue jay like an egg on a pan
A pink little lump
Melting in the sun
Soon to be stuck there like rodent gum
Mom couldn't save you
Though you're so well-behaved you sleep without her asking you to
Sleep sweet boy
A pink little lump
And your bloody brain yolk run runs
Soon to be stuck there like rodent gum
I'd scrape you off the pavement
But today the heat is hazy
I'm lazy
I'd scrape you off the pavement
But today the heat is hazy
I'm lazy

Golly, Good Grief
04:23
|

You left on a day like today
I'm asleep while you catch your train
And I lied like they said I would
Couldn't you tell that I'm just no good
Read old pen on a postcard like it's breaking news
I set down and have myself a beer
Crossfire across town wakes me up at noon
And I try to cry but I can't
It's too sincere too sincere
Golly, good grief
Is it any wonder I'm alone
Molly Moncrief
Won't you make my house a home
We met on a day like today
Placing bets on the way home train
And I lied
I said I'd be good
Still you knew I never could
So I read old pen on a postcard like it's breaking news
I set down and have myself a beer or two
Crossfire across town wakes me up at noon
And I try to cry but I can't
It's too sincere too sincere
Golly, good grief
Is it any wonder I'm alone
Molly Moncrief
Won't you make my house a home
Golly, good grief
Is it any wonder I'm alone
Molly Moncrief
Won't you get your ass on home
