Gmin7 F C I taste her blood in my mouth She covers me with kisses Gmin7 F C We got the strangest kind of love I know her in the morning but never at night Gmin7 F C I love her when she’s gone There’s nothing final about saying goodbye Gmin7 F C That makes it safe with the distance there It’s a love of knowing someone too well Cmin Bb Amin7 D7 like her curves and turns on the road (riff) 2x We’re alone together guitar #1 We’re stoned together Guitar #1 G G F D C Bb G roll Come on the high dive we’ll dive to gether G G F D … C Bb G roll Come on the high dive we’ll make it in the water Riff (Guitar #2 slide) Come on the high dive we’ll dive together Come on the high dive make it in the water (swimming in the deep water baby) Come lets do the high dive we’ll dive together Come on the high dive make it in the water Come on the high dive Swim in the deep blue sea Make a little high dive we’ll dive together

All is Nothing 03:29

The days pass on by And there is no swift reply To all of the prayers Of children around the world Please give us peace Remember you once were small like us Trusting our moms and dads who made us from their perfect love All is nothing - nothin’s the same All is nothing – the children say An hay yeagh yeagh yaeagh The children all pray The world don’t blow itself away And the evil ones Don’t take all of us away Don’t break my heart Don’t take my older brother to war Could have known all they want to do All is nothing ya Nothing’s the same All is nothing its just one big wave All is nothing its just one big wave All is nothing its just one big wave yeagh And So it is so Network TV tells us what’s real We can believe everything we see all the time Is it a lie? Is it the truth this time? I don’t know Show me the pictures of the missiles aimed at me they say All is nothing nothing’s the same All is nothing its just one big wave…… All is nothing the children sing And hey yeagh yeahg yeagh yeagh ya yeagh yeagh…..

She Dont Laugh 03:45

She said she wanted to be a dancer And dance her life away She had enough of all the pain She didn’t want any quick answers She was tired of the know it all man Wanted to have her own plan One time too many for her She’d run out of dreams Sometimes id see her drunk and drinkin And out of her mind in the clubs She’s pretty and she’s crazy you see You could say she was pretty, pretty crazy She’d talk about the changes in the world and she’d start to cry she does tell me ist there anything worse than seein an angel cry? She don’t laugh She don’t cry She don’t laugh And She don’t cry She wanted to be an actress you see And act out the last scene of every play She never made it to the audition She was sleepin it off from the night before you see She drank away all the pain she had in her life She never shared much you see But I know she wasn’t so sad She don’t laugh She don’t cry She don’t laugh She don’t cry She don’t laugh And she don’t cry.

Eating Disorder 04:42
lyrics

She looked me in the eye and told me that id soon be dead from the food I was eating I looked at her, she was earnest and she said come home – I’ll feed you, and I followed She served me fried doch in her living room, and I realized that Sparky was on the plate – my dog had turned into dinner with her. Well I gave up everything for that girl, and I didn’t eat anything but fried dog and toefoo till I learned it was no good. She made me join her cult of food eating and I I believed what she said: She said nothing She got an eating disorder from her mom and dad, and now I have to live with everything she’s had, and I can’t stand it I think I need a cheeseburger…….. The next girl I met was a real vegetarian didn’t eat anything that came from animals, no butter no milk, and no cheese… she said she hadn’t eaten red meat since her mom and dad had left her alone for a year without eating food at all she wouldn’t eat any honey from a bee no drippings from a maple tree I guess life wasn’t very sweet but I said she got an eating disorder from the things she sees its major disorder from her life you see nothing is like havin a beer and a pizza oh no I got an eating disorder from the women I’ve lived with I’m tryin to undo all these bad things and get back to where I was long ago…… I was walkin around in a graveyard on a Sunday afternoon She surprised me by saying something sweet If you want to make your way to heaven Don’t take more than you need we shall be judged by what we eat Ive got an eating disorder from the women Ive known Their eating habits turned out to be my own Don’t take more than you need Ive got an eating disorder from the women Ive known Their eating habits turned out to be my own Don’t take more than you need Ive got an eating disorder from the women Ive known Their eating habits turned out to be my own Don’t take more than you need

I woke up in her living room again Covered up in chains and lines Things got out of control I remember the candlelight Her cat was really gettin crazy That’s where the lights went out – goodnight Sometimes I wonder why we live….

Dont Know Why 01:52

I don’t know why I met you Can’t say when the dream was through The faces different The end result seems just the same We’re playin’ parts in a movie We just play it again and again Searchin for love Is there - any time that you are free from these - hang-ups that make you into what you are Can you save yourself from - repeating the same things we do?

Give me back the ring I know it’ll never work with you Your jest too crazy you burn me out I can’t conform to you - and all the things you do Want me to be someone I’m not…. I just can’t do it baby I thought it through so many times I can never be your man I really tried And you know it never worked out right I would do anything, but I’ve done it all Cause you’re living in a dream Cause you’re living in a dream There’s no picket fence There’s no house on the top of the hill…. And your dream of owing a sports car makes me puke And everything you value like money, and havin’ a cell phone plugged in your ear, It”s all crap Where’s the little boy and girl we knew They were so In Love and they made love for free Nothing could - get in their way Y’ told me what to do, and harped me about the way I looked Changed the clothes I wore, and where I worked at the store… Changed my friends and ya changed the things I did Suddenly I turned around and found it wasn’t me anymore So yer you’re living in a dream you’re living in a dream I loved you once but I’m out the door I just can’t take it any more I’ll never be what you want me to be I’m takin back that ring…… (guitar) I wish you well You’re living in a dream You’re living in a dream You’re living in a dream You’re living in a dream

Tell me I’ll never ever have to grow old Or that I’m grow’in cold from these things that I fear like voices I hear That are telling me in a soft spoken voice that I’m older now oh woman does it show? Tell me they’ll never ever put me away Where they dress me and feed me, and keep happy in the day while I’m still awake Then y’ come on Sunday Bringin the flowers and the children where have I been and I’m so far away Tell me I won’t be the last one around all my friends are gone and I, I remember things we said and did all the time are now gone and I’m so far away (guitar) (vocal break) (further guitar) (vocal ooh to end) end……

I’ll find her tonight where the sea meets the clouds the edge o f the sky in my dreams she’ll look around and shell see it is me and I will take her hand and well walk Through all the dreams we has and we’ll be free Ill find her tonight in my dreams Where the sky meets the water’s edge where the map runs out of the globe an endless sky overhead in my mind it’s all in her smile in her eyes where I see the children are dancin’ and there’s no end to this and I am just always say’in You want to be free

All Times 05:05
lyrics

She goes to work each day sits at a desk alone……… she answers the phone when they call and waits for her man…… she dreams of the romance, that never would end but never happen’d yet, she waits for him each day……….. One day he comes through the door and says “hello beautiful” He comes in and talks only to her and says ”I love you so” The romance that came from this fulfilled her heart always the man was so awesome she married him the next day Started a family it coulda’ been the world…. And all these things that were so good…. (Chorus) She often was kind to him nd’ He brought her flowers love was in the air all the time until the day he left…. she certainly was so sad and never felt so bad but prince charming had left her alone at the reception desk (Chorus) She cried a river of tears never could be brought back to life nothing would help her find her prince charming again He was never seen again, He was gone……… (Chorus) Gone was the man of her dreams He left her with a child… She works at her job every day, an goes there with a smile on her face, She knows that once again he’ll be there saying “Hello loveley” But this time she smiles an’ says ”hello there prince charming” she knows better what love is for and that’s what her child can say: (chorus) Love is for children and not for prince charming ! (chorus)

lyrics

Each night you fall asleep, and you dream of things that you never had (and) never will attain, All these unreal things…… are they your dreams?…….. Are they something that makes you crazy…. because you will never get them at all? Well when you wake in the morning get in your car and go to work is it all so insane…. Can’t you get away from all these crazy things that they do? Are you a member of this world? And sometimes you think its different from what you see you’ll finally be a realized person and you’ll be free… every time you try…… you end up cryin’ you end up cryin because you lose your mind you just can’t believe the things you do And so you stay up all the night Don’t tell me that the sun won’t rise then you sleep when the sun is high….. Its ok to ask questions Yes it is! - ask every question you can try to get to the bottom of all this stuff and figure out why….. because if it doesn’t make sense to you it doesn’t make sense to anyone else at all Wake up just in time to walk outside to see sun setting low in the sky Just the beginning of another night……….

Mark Vee Chicago, Illinois

My dad repaired Black and white televisions and occasionally had amplifiers that had 6L6 power tubes. These turned into my first gigging amp. It was embarassing to have a junky open amp out there with a twelve inch TV speaker in a mahogany cabinet when the rich kids had Fender amps with Gibson guitars... ... more
