the mighty mighty bosstones - 1 2 8
They played something
They made something
Brand new a baby blue machine
Brass tacks, duct tape
For the great escape
Packed in there like sardines
Back and forth
East, south, west, north
Shred the atlas burn the map
Often lost and paths cris-crossed
Wake me up I need a nap
They did something
Which meant something
And that got them some attention
Eyes wide
A roller coaster ride
Great pride in this invention
I think they're selling Snake oil
At the dog and pony show
In the garden gee
Would you pardon me
And by the way how does it grow
The explanation's unexplainable
Holding onto something
Once dreamt unattainable
The course was never charted
So don't look into the books
The secret's not the recipe
It's got to be the cooks
They made something
They played something
Blood, sweat, and elbow grease
If you can't stand the heat in the kitchen
Get out it will increase
Last train to where?
Hey get out of here
Nothing's measured and nothing's weighed
A dash of honesty in the recipe
That's the first mistake you've made
1, 2 what's in the stew
3, 4 no one's really sure
5, 6 what's in the mix
7, 8 this stuff tastes
the mighty mighty bosstones - 365 days
It's gripping, I'm ripping
I haven't just been sipping
stressing no messing
will I ever learn my lesson?
I'm always amazed, by what can take place
within the space of 300-365
sinning, I'm spinning
in the beginning I was winning
clinging, still swinging
if I could I would be singing
I'm always amazed by what can take place
within the space of 300-365
I'm empty of answers
don't nobody search me
the long neck's a twist off
you don't need a church key
I'm still full of questions
but can't quite see clear
twist off another (3x)
and bring on next year
drilled it killed my guts are being spilled
wailed, impaled
my last breath's been inhaled
that's still in me
I haven't failed
I'm always amazed, by what can take place
within the space of 300-365
I'm empty of answers
don't nobody search me
the long neck's a twist off
you don't need a church key
I'm still full of questions
but can't quite see clear
twist off another (3x)
and bring on next year
300-365 (3x) 365 DAY!
Die Mighty Mighty Bosstones haetten an dieser
Stelle gerne "eisgekuehlter Bommerlunder" von den Toten Hosen gesampelt,
doch Rechtsanwéâ?¹â??te und Plattenbosse haben dies mal wieder verhindert.
* Translation of German: "The MMB would have liked to sample 'eisgekuehlter Bommerlunder' by the Toten Hosen, but lawyers and record company bosses have prevented that again."
the mighty mighty bosstones - 737 shoe glue
(Dicky Barrett/Joe Gittleman/Bosstones)
Down the street, around the corner,
over the bridge, that dirty water,
College campus, mighty minds
A reactor right behind
Passed the candy factory, Salvation Army, fire station
Through the square, I hate that place Up the stairs
Next the doors, they never work I never let that bother me
I hope some worker's not disgruntled
I hope there's something there for me
An old man reads the paper loudly everyday now for a year
Stamp machines and wanted posters here again,
again I'm here
737 almost everyday
Nice to know that someone hears us
It's good to know somebody's there
Takin the time to say hello
Taking the time to show you care
Write again and thanks again
From the bottom of my heart See you soon and till then
737 is a real big part
737 almost everyday
Shoe glue
What can I do? A man's not well dressed
if his shoes are a mess Rock and Roll
I've got a hole
Right in my sole
Let's rock!
It's fucking my walk
And soaking my sock
Who knew?
It's not stopping my step or stepping my stop
We've got it up and we won't let it drop
Beer here,
Don't wanna see clear
I see a point in wrecking the joint
We're here to quench our thirst a bit
But we won't get the worst of it
Turn it up more than a notch
Like a punch to the face or a kick to the crotch
All night never ending benefiting from a bender
If nothing's worrying you that's the key
'cause nothing's worrying me
And nothing's worrying mem
the mighty mighty bosstones - a dollar and a dream
I've got a dollar, that I want to save
safe in my pocket, I'll try to hold fast
hey! it might be my last
I know what I've got, folded safe in its spot
I earned a dollar, it's not here to share
I've got a dollar and that's all I've got
a million more is just a single grain
a grain of sand, or just one drop of rain
a small amount might make the difference these days
a dollar and a dream is all I can raise
I had a dream, I had all the answers
to all the questions, I've ever been asked
and in my dream, I had all the answers
to all the questions, I've ever asked myself
man what a dream, it sure felt great
took to the streets, 'cause I couldn't wait
to freely give wisdom and share what I knew
I had a dream and that's all I had
a million here, lay down in pain every night
a million there, to stay alive must fight
I'm sure my numbers underestimate
a dollar and a dream, I swear it's not too late
I had a dollar, I wanted to save
keep in my pocket, I held fast
a dollar bill, that I would take to my grave
deep in my pocket like it was my last
look for the dollar, now it's not there
even the pants are a different pair
I earned the dollar, I had to share
I had a dollar and that's all I had
a million more, is just a star in the sky
tip of the iceberg, but we've all got to try
our works cut out, and there's work to be done
a dollar and a dream, is step number, step number one
the mighty mighty bosstones - a jackknife to a swan
Shortly after Evelyn
Was doused with gasoline
And just a few miles off the avenue
A lighter flashed into a puff of smoke
For thirty years Walter worked right there
Five days out of every week
That's where he watched his hometown fade
The last came fast and furious
Just step in one direction
Stutter step for one split second
Faster through the intersection
A jackknife to a swan... and he was gone
When Walter's shift was over
He'd head out to catch the red line home
Two stops away his family slept
He'd be there when they got out of bed
Destination subway station
Someone yelled so he looked back
Five guys were heading his way
He ran to catch that last train home
Just step in one direction
Stutter step for one split second
Faster through the intersection
A jackknife to a swan... and he was gone
Oh Walter ran, and did they kill Evelyn?
He had his token in his hand
But he jumped over the turnstile
And he ran down the platform
They were hot on his heels
An outbound was bearing down on him
Walter jumped in front of it. just
Just step in one direction
Stutter step for one split second
Faster through the intersection
A jackknife to a swan... and he was gone
Just step in one direction
Stutter step for one split second
Faster through the intersection
A jackknife to a swan... and he was gone

the mighty mighty bosstones - a man without
(Dicky Barrett/Joe Gittleman/Bosstones)
How did this could this come to this?
Helpless heartless loneliness,
A hand held out hope someone gives
I'm a man without a place to live
A man without a place to go
And it just might be my fault I know
Won't hold you up or bag your eyes
But I'm a man please realize
How did this could this come to this?
Helpless heartless loneliness
Heartless, had a heart just yesterday
Helpless didn't used to be this way
Homeless, that's the worst part of it all
Fuck this,
What I scream at every wall
Are my screams being ignored
I'm screaming can you help me Lord
No one hears a man like me
It's easier if they don't see
So let all just pretend to feel and make believe that I'm not real
Help is what I'm screaming for,
Help me please don't just ignore
It's come to this
Helpless heartless loneliness
Hand held out, hope someone gives
I'm a man without a place to live,
A man without a place to go
And it just might be my fault I know
Won't hold you up or bag your eyes
But I'm a man please realize
How did this could this come to this,
Did this could this come to this,
Did this could this come to this,
Did this could this come to this
the mighty mighty bosstones - a sad silence
two years and extra days, a block away he'd head to hang
same corner, neighborhood, his friends, the gang
two years and extra days, a bigger kid would crack his eye
no real reason, explanation and everyday no one knew why
the bigger kid was crazy, that made the gang afraid
when he told the gang to shut their mouths, the gang obeyed
you've got to have a place to be, you need a place to hang around
no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
both his eyes would twitch
the left one was always black
his lips they never moved
they stayed still with each attack
his ears were always ringing,
in his head he'd hear a hum
and all the kids on the corner
knew what it was from
well then one day it happened, he took his daily crack
his eyes rolled up, like yesterday, he started falling back
the kids that watch this everyday, now watched him hit the ground
no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
and no one made a sound
both his eyes would twitch
the left one was always black
his lips they never moved
they stayed still with each
attack his ears were always ringing,
in his head he'd hear a hum
and all the kids on the corner
knew what it was from
no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
a sad silent situation, now he's not around
no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
a sad silent situation, now he's not around
well no one spoke and no one moved and no one made a sound
a sad silent situation he's not a-he's not around
noone spoke noone moved he's not around
a sad silent situation now he's not around

(Original song by Van Halen)
Oh yeah I heard the news baby,

My love is rotten to the core
I Ain't talkin' 'bout love

'cause I ain't talkin' 'bout love
My love is rotten to the core

I Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Just like I told you before
hey hey hey hey (4x)
the mighty mighty bosstones - all things considered
There is this older guy That comes around from time to time We're sure that he fought in the war The war in Vietnam Most of what he tells us No one's verified He swears that he was there The day that Brendan Behan died He also claims he trained A kid name Cassius Clay And cost Goldwater the election On election day If he was still with us today Then he would introduce Us to his closest friend The one and only Lenny Bruce The truth is what he's been through What he's had to do What he's seen, and what he's done All things considered, what he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone. We knew it's true He's short a few Check out the deck, it's light Said he wrote the entire soundtrack for A Hard Day's Night On Peyton Place, played second base He says but he regrets The stadium was Shea, the team, the New York Mets The truth is what he's been through What he's had to do What he's seen, and what he's done All things considered, what he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone All things considered he's not bitter, He's not mean, no he's not done All things considered, what he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone. There is this older guy That comes around from time to time We're sure that he fought in the war The war in Vietnam Most of what he tells us No one's verified He swears that he was there The day that Brendan Behan died The truth is what he's been through What he's had to do What he's seen, and what he's done All things considered, what he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone All things considered he's not bitter, He's not mean, no he's not done All things considered, what he's telling us Isn't hurting anyone. Every now and then we hear our song. Every now and then we hear our song. Every now and then we hear our song. Every now and then we hear our song.
the mighty mighty bosstones - allow them
the mighty mighty bosstones - almost anything goes
(Nate Albert/Dicky Barrett/Bosstones)
It's 4:30 in the morn'
I'm tattered, tired and torn
Trying to keep up the pace,
This ain't my home, this ain't my place
The candle keeps on burning
at this point there's no returning
The policy is clear, anything goes when you are here
Almost anything goes
From the nightclubs to the shows
Almost anything goes
From the haircuts to the clothes
Almost anything goes
From your head down to your toes
Almost anything goes,
Does this place ever close?
I wanna wake up in a city
That likes to go to bed
Where they know what time of day it is
but I'm stuck here instead
The rules are disregarded
So it's time we all got started
Moving at this hyperspeed
This city seems to need
Nice place to visit but I don't wanna die here
I stay on my toes wherever I go by
I was killing all my money,
Spending brain cells just as fast
So I'll grab a taxi cab, head somewhere I can crash
Driver, port authority
Home's my destination
Don't wake me up till we're near
Park Street Station
There's this electric lure that's sometimes so attractive
But I'd rather hang my hat on a hook that's not so active
I was walking on the wild side, I was in that state of mind
The neon lights were bright
but I'll be leaving them behind
Big city of dreams can be a nightmare
A knife, a fork a bottle, a cork I'm outta here
the mighty mighty bosstones - another drinkin song
Gonna dive into a jive
I've dove into before
Gonna haunt a haunt I've haunted
Like a million times or more
A familiar joint
Where getting drunk's the only point
To frequent this place
With any frequency at all
Countin' on a remedy
I've counted on before
Goin' with the cure that's never failed me
What you call the disease,
I call the remedy
What your callin' the cause,
I call the cure
Gonna sing a song, a song to you
A song I've sung before
Belt out a ballad that I've belted out
A million times or more
The words I'm gonna scream
And getting drunk's the central theme
To the lyrics, if you can
Make the lyrics out at all
Countin' on a remedy
I've counted on before
Goin' with the cure that's never failed me
What you call the disease,
I call the remedy
What your callin' the cause,
I call the cure
Just a devotion to the potion
Please no applause
A dedication to the medication
A crutch a cure a cause
What I've counted on to pick me up
Has knocked me to my knees
Before I hit the floor once more
I'lll call it the disease
Countin' on a remedy
I've counted on before
Goin' with the cure that's never failed me
What you call the disease,
I call the remedy
What your callin' the cause,
I call the cure
the mighty mighty bosstones - at it again
From The Impression That I Get 7" Single
They're at it again. (4x)
Hard-hitting journalism, an explosive expose'
on a subject that has everyone tuned in.
Tell me off the record, don't let the truth get in the way.
Don't mind the facts, we'll fill them in.
They're at it again. (4x)
This is exclusive, and it's a candid interview.
A source close to someone who's involved.
Well it's a neighbor of a cousin someone someone sorta knew.
?.?.? the air has been sold...again!
They're at it again, pretending it's news.
Gotta take anything- don't let em crack in review
A referred to the person in pomp and circumstance
It's the same old sorry story and a tired song and dance
They're at it again.
With no shame or dignity.
No respect for the truth, so nevermind for you or me
They're at it again.
With no end to it in sight.
They're at it again.
And it just isn't right.
the mighty mighty bosstones - awfully quiet
(Mighty Mighty Bosstones)
I like noise, that's why I'm livin' where I am.
I like the noise and confusion of a traffic jam.
I like the sound of a jet as it's shakin' my dwellin'
I like ragin', rampagin' and screamin' and yellin'
sound of a fire engine headed for a fire.
Emotions so high they can't get any higher
goin' out of control in an outta hand crowd
I like noise and it's gotta be loud.
Awfully quiet, Awfully quiet, Awfully quiet
It was awfully quiet on the streets yesterday
people on the streets had little to say
well I walked the streets and barely heard a sound
it was awfully quiet on the streets downtown.
Sometimes quiet's okay, sometimes quiet's alright.
Given the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and night.
It was awfully quiet and on the trains last night.
People on the trains kept the conversation light.
I rode the trains and barely heard a word
quietest train I ever heard.
Sometimes quiet's okay, sometimes quiet's alright.
Given the choice, I like noise, morning, noon, and night.
Awfully quiet, Awfully quiet, Awfully quiet
It was awfully quiet and I needed some noise
I got on the blower called up the boys
I was doing so bad I could barely hack it
they came to my house and they kicked up a racket
ooh-ah [2x]
they turned my place on its ear ooh
the boy's began to riot ah
it felt so good to hear ooh
on a day that was so quiet ah
I screamed and cheered them on ooh
and I helped out where I could ah
and when they all were gone ooh
I was feeling good!
I like noise that's why I'm livin' where I am.
I like the noise and confusion of a traffic jam.
I like the sound of a jet as it's shakin' my dwellin'
I like ragin' rampagin' and screamin' and yellin'
sound of a fire engine headed for a fire.
Emotions so high they can't get any higher
goin' out of control in an outta hand crowd
I like noise and it's gotta be loud.
yeah it's gotta be loud
oh yeah its gotta be loud
come on its gotta be loud
from now on its gonna be loud oooh yeah
