Me, Too
(1999)
1 - opinion #33
hey you looking over there (where) I'm looking at you
hey you looking over there (where) you're looking back at me too
shake it to the right shake it to the left
shake it up all night I'm taking what I get
Levi, leather latex boots peace will come to all that choose it
so choose it (x2)
we're just the same we're just the same (x2)
no matter the hemisphere everybody got to disappear fear
disappear fear
and I'll be the first to say, honesty can be so scary
scary baby
CHORUS
opinion #33 everybody got a way to be free
opinion #34 everybody got a secret door
opinion #35 everybody got a reason to stay alive
opinion #36 no such thing as a real quick fix doesn't exist
CHORUS
if you teach your children a sick philosophy
they will come back when you're old and teach you real good
teach you real good
CHORUS
me too me three me four me five me six me seven me eight...
2 - bumblebee
You hold me much too tight
But I don't want to fight
cause we haven't learned how to
this is how we stand
together hand in hand
but you think of us as
Won the Battle sure
but not the war that's
not the score and “fun”
is definitely not your middle name
Tear the pages out of me
slapphappy I've described us
like the bumblebee that flies
and defies science
there's no explanation for
why they can...
their wings are not strong enough
to hold their bodies up
in the air, but they do
just like us, just like us
3 - good morning (this is god)
“good morning this is god
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna go today
I'm taking care of everything
so sit back relax have a good day”
CHORUS
You think you know everything
But what do u really know
Except (accept) the warm glow of...
Eternal love, eternal love...
We were talking 'bout quitting cigarettes
we both quit so many times
I said, “the only way to stop is to
quit quitting, start living”
CHORUS
bridge:
I guess I overreacted
I was feeling so subtracted
all I really want to do is
oooo on top of you on top of you
“good evening this is god
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna go tonight
I'm taking care of everything
so sit back relax have a good time”
CHORUS
4 - grass for the lamb
some people are bigger than the media
bigger than what's bleeding ya, what's eating ya
who's meeting ya tonight
step on the gas and hold me tight
CHORUS
I think I should tell the world
what Harvey said in Amsterdam, he said
“we are not different, we are extraordinary”
that's what I think
some people go putting your head in boxes
use chicks for chasing foxes
use violence for their middle name
son of gun do you win this game?
CHORUS
embarrassed politician
searching for the cool technician
to erase the truth, while some kid
almost jumped off the roof
CHORUS
now I'm pumping gas for the master
another car bomb disaster
speeding tickets cause I drive faster and I
still can't get away, better say what I got to say
CHORUS
I'm green both under and over
looking like a four leaf clover
lucky to be here with you tonight
this great big love explodes like dynamite
CHORUS
5 - She Lied
Just by the wave of her hand
She went and changed the whole plan
She didn't believe in goodbye
so, she never mentioned that man
She never cried, She kept it inside
She kept his hands warm away from the storm
Then in the middle of June
Sun poured down like rain
He said he needed to leave
He needed to find home again
He never cried, He kept it inside
He kept her words warm away from the storm
Some Love must be like a blizzard
carrying invisible scissors
they made footsteps in the snow
deep as forever an hour ago
but it just keeps comin' down
just keeps comin' comin' comin'
Just by the wave of his hand
He went and changed the whole plan
He didn't believe in goodbye
She never mentioned that man
she never cried she kept it inside
she kept her words warm
it's not like she lied
it's not like she lied
6 - My Baby
My Baby don't stand for cheatin' My Baby
My Babe don't stand for cheatin' My Baby
My Baby don't stand for cheatin'
no hittin' no cussin' and no mistreatin'
My Baby's so good lookin' My Baby
My Baby's so good lookin' My Baby
My Baby's so good lookin' but more important
I like sweet cookin'
My Baby's so good lookin' My Baby
da da da da da da da da...
If I could split into a million pieces
If I could split into a million pieces
If I could split into a million pieces
I'd be an undercover lover like Jesus
If I could split into a million pieces
My Baby wants somebody to Love
My Baby wants somebody to Love
My Baby wants somebody to kiss and hug
and cuddle up
My Baby wants somebody to Love
wants somebody to love, wants somebody to love
My Baby believe in one thing My Baby
My Baby believe in one thing My Baby
My Baby believe in one thing fortunately
I am that Fun Thing
My Baby believe in one thing My Baby
I wish upon a falling star
I wish upon a falling star
I wish upon a falling star
that I could be Bruce's guitar
drive away in my jaguar, make peace between
Venus and Mars
I wish upon a falling star
wish upon a falling star, wish upon a falling star
7 - Lovesick
if I wait
by the sea
will you eventually
come to me
not so long not so far
love will surely find you
where we are
I am wounded
shot by Cupid
I am Lovesick
I hope I... never get better
don't lie to me
don't lie to me
what I want from you
is honesty
don't let me down
don't let me down
be my chunky monkey rainbow town
CHORUS
who's the dish?
who's the caterer?
hey hey hey yeah yeah ee yeah
I will not eat green aligator
hey hey hey yeah yeah ee yeah
love me now and love me later
hey hey hey hey yeah yeah ee yeah
wish I wish I wish I wish I was a waiter
hey hey hey yeah yeah ee yeah
serve you up some green aligator
hey hey hey yeah yeah ee yeah
come pay me now, come pay me later
8 - Postcard from Texas
this is my postcard from texas
what are the chances this town won't wreck us?
there is a secret, there always is
standing at the side of the stage
beckoning motionless
and my legs get weak
and my heart beats fast
and I thought the love we had
was built to last
and head takes off where my heart wants to go
and I know and I know and I know
Baby believe me
Baby believe me I didn't do nothin'
there's a strange black bird here
which is mostly tall
makes a sound like an ambulance
that's her mating call
she sings a warning in the warm night air
she's out in the distance, she should be sleeping
but I can still hear her
I'm steppin' out of a dream into a steamy car
and we huddle for safety at the cannibal bar
how far can I run away from this ring on my finger?
Baby believe me
Baby believe me I didn't do nothing
is there a place where we can go to
shed our fear like clothes and make love new?
oo oo she's out in the distance
she should be sleeping but I can still hear her
CHORUS ONE
9 - turtle flowers
Turtle Flowers
In the Garden Pink, Purple and Blue
Turtle Flowers
In the city, I'll pick one for you
Pick one for you
I'll pick one for you – pick one for you
Turtle Flowers in the sky
I got one from the sky
They parachuted from my heart beating
So Beautiful, I just cried
Got one from the sky
One from the sky – got one from the sky
10 - Shake it
shake it jump up out of your skin
come let the past be past
no colonialism
shake it jump out of your head
come let the fear be dead
and sleep till you dream it
just wake up believe it
the day is over
let it go and be glad you got away
that day is over be glad you got away
shake it jump up out of your skin
come let the past be past
Soy ti hermana
Tu eres mi hermano
con junto el futoro
11 - summer in december
summer in december
I can't remember warmer days
Martin, Martin Luther King
lives within her
sings through me
I get every moment
She breathes Life
into me and then I sigh
Running my hands across the sky
Under the...
Moonlight, through her window
and her eyes glow
just for me
I get every moment
She breathes Life into me
and then I sigh
Running my hands across the sky
Time
and Time again, I just go numb
She brings me back here
She brings me home
I get every moment
She breathes Life into me
and then I sigh
Running my hands across the sky
under the moonlight
through her window
and her eyes glow
just for me
just for me
just for me
12 - me, too
her daddy was a soldier in the vietnam war
she was proud to see her father in a fresh pressed uniform
he came home on a stretcher in 1966
welcomed by fellow americans throwing tomatoes and sticks
he said, “darling don't you worry, there are 2 sides to everything
I did what I believed in and I want you to do the same
I stood up for my country, yeah that's a solid bet
and I'll stand up for freedom every chance I get
CHORUS
'CAUSE AMERICA SHINES IN FRONT OF ME
AND ALL THE WORLD COULD SEE IF THEY WANTED TO
I RAISE THIS FLAG FOR YOU, ME, TOO
she grew up on the bible she grew up on love
she grew up thinking she could change the world
if she only worked hard enough
so she became a lawyer hoped to marry a good looking man
then she fell in love with the girl next door
though that wasn't part of the plan...
CHORUS
the years spin by while the corn grows high
for every train you catch you miss one
so much of life just passes by
it was time to tell daddy this one
she sat down in the corner she could still see the door
she said, “daddy I gotta tell you something I've never said before...”
he said, “shhhhhhhhhhh... everybody has a war
You see it's not about oil and it's not about guns
it's not about rainbows it's about daughters and sons
if you believe in tomorrow then I have taught you well
cause if you don't believe in yourself life's a living hell...
AND YOU'LL ALWAYS SHINE IN FRONT OF ME
AND ALL THE WORLD COULD SEE IF THEY WANTED TO
I RAISE THIS FLAG FOR YOU, ME, TOO
I RAISE THIS FLAG FOR YOU, ME, TOO
