If I Had Obliged
03:07

Would you have wanted
All that I promised
If I had obliged
To give you the things that you’d like
And I knew
I’d be there to give you all
That you need
Oh, you always knew
What I could never do
You always knew
Just what I could never do
In your face
I see a reflection of me
Again and again, every day
And I wish I’d never
See either face again
Leave us both behind
And find a new way
A new life again
Again and again and again
Oh, it’s too late baby
I’ve gotta get out now -
I can’t stay around
How many times did I sacrifice?
While you were bringing me down
Would you have wanted
All that I promised
If I had obliged
To give you the things that you’d like

Okinawa Trails

Headed down to Bridgeport, gonna buy me a plane
Take it to my everlasting dreams
Oh those Okinawa trails, they lead me to something
And what that means to me, I can’t explain
Well I’ll see my mother and my father waiting there
I’ll see my baby sister and her shiny golden hair
In my life I’ve seen some things that make me weep
But now I’m finding something I can bear
Well it’s late at night on an early Friday morning
And I can see a silver sky forming
And maybe I should go and have a lie down
And just dream a dream of a better time
Well I grew up by a stream in Massachusetts
I would hobble down to the banks of the riverbed
I would sing with the sounds of the rushing water
Until my belly grumbled and up the hill I’d head
Well it’s late at night on an early Friday morning
And I can see a silver sky forming
And maybe I should go and have a lie down
And just dream a dream of a better time

I am painting myself
Shot in the heart
I am holding my own hand
And waiting in the dark
One, two, three, four five six seven eight nine
Arrows up and down my spine
And three monkeys on my back
And four large smokestacks
And two of me and you
Do you like my mess?
Do you like my red lipstick?
Do you like these flowers in my hair,
And how I am sitting pretty over there?
Do you see my chest torn apart?
I painted the veins of my dislocated heart
Three vultures circling overhead
I think they’re waiting for me
To drop dead

Sweet Sweet Sweet
I’m in the pocket of my baby’s jeans
And we are riding in the rumble seat
Of his 1930 Model A Ford Victoria
Skee-dop-beep-beep
Sweet Sweet Sweet
A piece of cherry pie is all I need
To add a dollop of your whipping cream
And I will lick it off
The tip of your tongue
Your hand or your thumb
Hey that sounds sweet
Sweet Sweet Sweet
A little music playing in my dreams
I’m tossing, turning while I tap my feet
To the sound of the record spinning
In the jukebox, baby
Sweet Sweet Sweet
A little music playing in my dreams
I’m tossing, turning while I tap my feet
To the sound of the record spinning
In the jukebox, baby

How Have You Been

My baby works all day
My baby sleeps all night
My baby works all day
And my baby sleeps all night
But when he gets a minute, he always treats me right
My baby bought me a piano
My baby loves to hear me play
My baby bought me a piano
And my baby loves to hear me play
I’m writing him a ditty that I’ll play for him someday
My friend was tall and lean
She had a razor sharp tooth
My friend was tall and lean
She had a razor sharp tooth
But when we got to fighting, I gave my friend the boot
I’m gonna write a long letter
To my old forsaken friend
I’m gonna write a long letter
To my old forsaken friend
It’s gonna say I miss you, and how have you been
It’s gonna say I miss you, and how have you been
