LYRICS

PMS Blues:

Hey auntie, why don't you visit me today?
Hey auntie, why don't you visit me today?
Well I looked it up on my calendar and this time you're really running late

I woke up this morning, feeling ornery and mean
Went to pull my zipper up and busted out my jeans
Hey auntie ...

I've been living on fingernails, sugar salt and caffiene
Putting all my quarters in the candy bar machine
Hey auntie...

I needed my mama, called her on the telephone
Told her I was suffering and she said you can't come home
Hey auntie

At the store or at the park, everywhere I see
Toddlers, strollers, baby toys, persecuting me
Hey auntie

Last week I told my boyfriend that you were running late
He left to buy some cigarrettes and he ain't been home to date
Hey auntie

ICE QUEEN

You're a sweet thing, you're a pretty one
When you walk into the room all the men gather around
You ev em up, you shut em down
Ain't got time for any sentimental fools

You're the ice queen, you're the hot machine
You're the bright light on the silver screen
There's one thing I admire about you
You're a cold blooded ball breaking bitch

You dish it out, but you won't take it
When the tough get going you'll be in there throwing punches
Show no mercy to the weak
If he can't hold his own he oughta keep it to himself

You're the ice queen...

Move on the dance floor like a cobra
Got one eye on the DJ and the other on your prey
Pick one out from the eager members
Use him for the night and then throw his ass away

You're the ice queen

COLD PIZZA WARM BEER

I got up this morning, I crawled out of my bed
My back was really aching, my eyes were cherry red
It's just the morning after, I don't remember who was here
I'll eat a slice of cold pizza, and wash it down with warm beer

I've got that not so fresh feeling from my head down to my toes
I think I had a good time, heaven only knows
It's just the morning after, Lord it's funky up in here
I'll eat a slice of cold pizza, and wash it down with warm beer

There's a sink full of dishes, my house is all torn up
Cigarette butts are drowning in a half full cup
Its just the morning after, lord my head is starting to clear
I'll eat a slice of cold pizza, and wash it down with warm beer

Yeah we sang with Aretha, we danced with the Temps
Took the Midnight train to Georgia, with Gladys and the Pips
Oh Lord we had a good time, my head was feeling right
If I get myself together, gonna do it again tonight

It's the tell tale signs of living, my house and I are a mess
It's a small price to pay if it takes away my stress
It's just the morning after, lord it's funky up in here
I'll eat a slice of cold pizza, and wash it down with warm beer.

BITTERSWEET

I've been aching, burning with longing and need
I've been aching, burning with desire and need
Won't you come home baby, one more night of bittersweet

We had a passion like a housefire, lit up every night
We had a passion like a housefire, lit up every night
But we argued every day, we just couldn't get it right

I've been aching....


I've been watching the clock, I've been watching TV
I've been watching the clock, I've been watching TV
I've been watching for you, why won't you come home to me

I've been aching....

MOVING ON

When I woke up this morning
Heard the rain falling down
Heard a lone train whistle
As it was rolling out of town

I sat down and we made conversation
You didn't see my bags where I left them
You didn't see my bags, they were
They were underneath the bed

And now I'm moving on
Gotta get while the getting's good
I'm moving on
Ain't going to tell him and I probably should

I walked a cold foggy road this morning
Got my ticket, got my guitar
Waited at the station, got my bags
I don't have my phone anymore

I sat down and I made conversation
With an old man, who was waiting
He said where you going, little girl, all alone
I sure hope you're going home

I said I'm moving on....

HEAD HELD HIGH

Keep your head held high, when your life has got you low
Keep your head held high, when your life has got you low
It doesn't matter what the others say, there no one's troubles but your own

Don't you weep and moan when your life has got you down
Don't you weep and moan when your life has got you down
Don't tell your troubles to the neighborhood, you've got to solve them on your own

You've got your ups, you've got your downs
You've got your dizzy world a=spinning all around
You've got your highs, you've got your lows
Yeah, life is going to mess with you no matter where you go....

CAN'T HAVE TWO

I watched you dancing slow with her with a sparkle in your eyes
Now I'm contemplating dear if it's time to say goodbye
You put me into trances with your sweet talk and your charms
Now you're taking chances with another woman in your arms

What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
Tough decision, can't have two.

You stormed your way inside my life, you broke down all the walls
I know I've got you by the heart but she's got you by the balls

I ought to bow out gracefully, just walk away and grin
It's not that I want you so much I just don't want her to win.

THE WEEKEND SONG

I'm burning out my candle, I need to take a day
The boss won't let me take it 'less it's without pay
My wallets' getting leaner but my soul is open wide
Put the guitar in the trunk and take a little ride

I'm in the little bars with big ideas, riding midnight roads
Line the shots up on the bar and hope the beer is cold
Shake it on the dance floor and flirt with all the men,
Come Monday morning I'll be on the job, again.

I'm connecting with the audience, a number to the boss
To the crowd an entertainer not a profit or a loss
Monday until Friday I'm in glasses and a bun
Saturday night the hair comes down and I can have my fun .....

I'm in the little bars.....

EASY LOVIN MAN

Got me a good man, makes me glow
Smile when I see him coming and I love to watch him go
He's an easy loving fella with an easy going way
No need to fight or argue cause it's much more fun to play
All night long, I belong to my easy loving man.

We act like grownups, pay our bills
But when the lights go down at night he gives me such a thrill
He's an easy going fella, easy on the eyes
Clark Kent kind of image but he's superman in disguise
All night long, I belong to my easy loving man.

When we're at parties, he's my pride
But when my man is hurting you know it tears me up inside
He's an easy going fella with an easy going grin
No need to buy me dinner casue tonight we're dining in,
All night long, I belong to my easy loving man.
