white stripes - a boy 039 s best friend

I just don't fit in this place
their thoughts cast me out of here
their home has run out of space
my mind's already out of here
won't you come along dear?
won't you come along?

words that are spoke alone
phrases you will never hear
empty rooms and a telephone
that i will never use,never fear
I am all alone dear
I am all alone

My dogs come sit next to me
a pack of dogs and cigarettes
my only friends speak no words to me
but they look at me
and they don't forget
that a boy's best friend is his mother
or whatever has become his pet

white stripes - a martyr for my love for you

She was 16 and 6 feet tall with a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zoo
She stumbled, start to slip and fall, teeter tottered on the top of patent leather shoes
I happened to catch her and said, Maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you maybe for you.. now..

But not as shaky as I must have seemed, talkin' junk to forgive a little teenage dream
And on the phone I could not compete but dumb luck fake confidence was getting weak
And for a sec I thought I sounded sweet, but sure enough in a gruff faint voice I heard myself speak

I could stay awhile, but sooner or later I'll break your smile
And I can tell a joke, but one of these days I'm bound to choke
And we could share a kiss
But I feel like I can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
But I know the right thing for me to do
Is to leave you alone.. leave you alone now..

I'm beginning to like you, so you probably won't get what I'm going to do
I'm walkin' away from you, it probably don't make much sense to you
But I'm tryin' to save you, from all of the things that I'll probably say I'll do I probably do

I could stay awhile, but sooner or later I'll break your smile
And I can tell a joke, but one of these days I'm bound to choke
And we might share a kiss
But I feel like I can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
But I know the right thing for me to do
Is to leave you alone leave you alone now

You'll probably call me a fool and say I'm doing exactly what a coward would do
And I'm beginning to like you, it's a shame what a lame way to live, but what can I do?
I hope you appreciate what I do
I'm a martyr for my love for you

white stripes - apple blossom

Hey little apple blossom
what seems to be the problem
all the ones you tell your troubles to
they don't really care for you

come and tell me what you're thinking
cause just when the boat is sinking
a little light is blinking
and I will come and rescue you

lots of girls walk around in tears
but that's not for you
you've been looking all around for years
for someone to tell your troubles to

come and sit with me and talk a while
let me see your pretty little smile
put your troubles in a little pile
and I will sort them out for you

lots of girls walk around in tears
but that's not for you
you've been looking all around for years
for someone to tell your troubles to

come and sit with me and talk a while
let me see your pretty little smile
put your troubles in a little pile
and I will sort them out for you

I'll fall in love with you
I think I'll marry you

white stripes - as ugly as i seem

I am as ugly as I seem
Worse than all your dreams
Could ever make me out to be
And it makes me want to scream
When it's halloween
And the kids are laughing
The rogue is a bank he's never broke
But worth as much as a joke that no one is laughing at

Can you believe some things are not
Appealing and there's a spot
On the ceiling of my childhood bedroom
And can these dreams you can't imagine
Will never match the vision
That you had decided for me
You are to take away from me
Things that are mine and it's not your right
Out that you'd wouldn't expect to find out
Can it be that I don't want what you want?
And the only thing I could care for
Is a place in a home that is safe and warm
Safe and warm, safe and warm, safe and warm

Judge yourself if you feel the need
Just let me known to be
In search of the truth myself
There is a drop of blood on the ground
And it seems to me that it's not my kind
And I can't be sure if it's yours or mine

I am as ugly as I seem
Worse than all your dreams
Could ever make me
Could ever make me
Could ever make me
Could ever make me

white stripes - ashtray heart

you used me for an ashtray heart
right from the start
case of the punks
I feel like a glass shrimp
make invalids out of supermen
call in a shrink
And pick you up
in a girdle
you used me like an ashtray heart
right from the start
case of the punks
another day, another way
somebody's had too much to think
open up another case of the punks
you hid behind the curtain
waited for me to go out
a man on a porcupine fence
each pillow is touted like a rock
the mother / father figure
somebody's had too much to think
send your mother home your navel
case of the punks
you picked me out like an ashtray heart
hid behind the curtain
waited for me to go out
used me like an ashtray heart
a man on a porcupine fence
hit me where the lover hangs out
while they crushed me out
you used me for an ashtray heart
look behind the curtain
you looked in the window when I went out
you used me like an ashtray heart
brush me off
while I was burning out

white stripes - ball and biscuit

It's quite possible that I'm your third man girl
but it's a fact that I'm the seventh son(2x)
and right now you could care less about me
but soon enough you will care, by the time I'm done

let's have a ball and a biscuit sugar
and take our sweet time about it
let's have a ball girl
and take our sweet little time about it

tell everybody in the place to just get out
well get clean together
and I'll find me a soapbox
where I can shout it

Read it in the newspaper
ask your girlfriends and see if they know (2x)
that my strength is ten fold woman
I'll let you see it if you want to before you go

Let's have a ball and a biscuit sugar
and take our sweet time about it
let's have a ball girl
And take our sweet little time about it

Tell everybody in the place to just get out
well get clean together
and I'll find me a soapbox
where I can shout it

Its quite possible that I'm your third man girl
But its a fact that I'm the seventh son

It was the other two which made me your third
But it was my mother who made me the seventh son

And right now you could care less about me
But soon enough you will care by the time I'm done

white stripes - black jack davey

Black Jack Davey come a - ridin' on back
A whistlin' loud and merry
Made the woods around him ring
And he charmed the heart of a lady
Charmed the heart of a lady.

"How old are you, my pretty little miss
How old are you, my honey ?"
She answered to him with a lovin' smile
"I'll be sixteen come Sunday
Be sixteen come Sunday".

"Come and go with me, my pretty little miss
Come and go with me, my honey
Take you where the grass grows green
You never will want for money
You never will want for money.

"Pull off, pull off them high - heeled shoes
All made of Spanish leather
Get behind me on my horse
And we'll ride off together
We'll both go off together".

Well she pulled off them high - heeled shoes
Made of Spanish Leather
Got behind him on his horse
And they rode off together
They both rode off together.

At night the boss came home
Inquirring about his lady
The servant spoke before she thought
"She's been with Black Jack Davey
Rode off with Black Jack Davey".

"Well, saddle for me my coal - black stud
He's speedier than the gray
I rode all day and I'll ride all night
And I'll overtake my lady
I'll bring back my lady".
Well, he rode all night till the broad daylight
Till he came to a river ragin'
And there he spied his darlin' bride
In the arms of Black Jack Davey
Wrapped up with Black Jack Davey.

"Pull off, pull off them long blue gloves
All made of the finest leather
Give to me your lily - white hand
And we'll go home together
We'll both go home together".

Well, she pulled off them long blue gloves
All made of the finest leather
Gave to him her lily - white hand
And said goodbye forever
Bid farewell forever.

"Would you forsake your house and home
Would you forsake your baby ?
Would you forsake your husband too
To go with Black Jack Davey
Ride off with Black Jack Davey ?".

"Well, I'll forsake my house and home
And I'll forsake my baby
I'll forsake my husband too
For the love of Black Jack Davey
Love my Black Jack Davey.

Last night I slept in a feather bed
Between my husband and baby
Tonight I lay on the river banks
In the arms of Black Jack Davey
Love my Black Jack Davey".

Well, my fingers definitely turning to black now
Yeah, maybe I'll put my love on ice

Undeniably earning your wage

And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah

Listen master can you answer a question?
Is it the fingers, or the brain

Maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice

Snuck down through the cyclone fence
Past the caution tape
And the security gate

And felt your boyfriends fist and made the company list
And there's a little spot where your dad ate lunch
And your brother landed his first punch yeah,yeah,yeah

Well have you been to the broken bricks girl
Seen the barrels that they left behind
Seen the machine that cut aluminium clean
And got tape from the caution sign

And broke into the window panes
Just a rusty colored rain that drives a man insane
You try to jump over water but you land in oil
Climb the ladder up a broken crane yeah,yeah,yeah
