Beat Happening - Jamboree全盘歌词
1.Bewitched
I see you hang in the crowd
Staring me down
With that ice cream cone
Still i'm all alone
You've got me caught
Let go my heart
Or give me a sign
That you'll be mine
I've got a crush on you
I've got a crush on you
You won't let me through
I've got a crush on you
I've got a crush on you
What am i to do?
I've got a crush on you
I saw you flying your plane
Driving me insane
Hit me with a bone
Still i'm all alone
You're driving that car
Saw his arm
Saw that black as tar
Must be your heart
Chorus
Pandora's box
Has got a lock
I'm gonna knock
Gonna beat the clock
I won't rest
Until pandora's chest
Has been upset
Because i'm the one
Chorus
I can't relax
Ol' mister scratch
Is on my back
Made a devil's pact
Trade an old black cat
For a witches brew
Seven deadly sins
And you
Chorus
Crush
You
Crush
You
Yeah, you.
2.In Between
I heard you talk last night
Couldn't even speak a word
Love has got me by the tongue
It's nothing you haven't heard
In between what's true and false
In between what's loud and soft
I asked you about the past
You didn't want to talk about it
You didn't want to trouble me
It's just old history
She's got too much imagination
She's the queen of variation
Try so hard to make you forget
See yourself in the TV set
And I remember when my parents met
It was years before my birth
And I can see them years from now
Their ghosts fly above the earth
And let's not talk about what makes us die
Let the jokes make the years go by
Cause it's a burden it's hard to bear
It's too easy to not even care
Baby baby, you look so sweet
Pick me up right off my feet
And we'll go down to the world of dreams
It's so hard but that just how it's seems
There's a mask upon the wall
In between the window and the hall
In between all things ever done
What's ahead and where you come from
If you could would you fly away?
Stick around for another day
3.Indian Summer
Breakfast in cemetery
Boy tastin wild cherry
Touch girl, apple blossom
Just a boy playin possum
We'll come back for Indian Summer
We'll come back for Indian Summer
We'll come back for Indian Summer
And go our seperate ways
What is that cheerful sound?
Rain fallin on the ground
We'll wear a jolly crown
Buckle up, we're wayward bound
We'll come back for Indian Summer
We'll come back for Indian Summer
We'll come back for Indian Summer
And go our seperate ways
Motorbike to cemetery
Picnic on wild berries
French toast with molasses
Croquet and Baked Alaskas
We'll come back for Indian Summer
We'll come back for Indian Summer
We'll come back for Indian Summer
And go our seperate ways
Cover me with rain
Walk me down the lane
I'll drink from your drain
We will never change
No matter what they say
4.Hangman
There's a little village near the center of Spain,
Where a jealous brother killed a cold-blooded Cain.
They had a dirty job that had to be done.
When they asked for takers, there was only one.
Cause I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman.
I'm the hangman, hangman, hangman...
I wake at four, wash my hands,
Drink to my god, atone for my sins.
Walk out to the yard, test the rope.
When the dawn breaks, I start to work,
Cause I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman.
I'm the hangman; cause I'm the hangman...
Hangman...
Make peace with yourself, cause I'm the hangman.
Hangman, yeah, the hangman, hangman..
Feel no guilt, I feel no shame,
I return to my family at the end of the day.
Sit and watch my son while he's out at play,
When he grows to be a man, he'll be just like me.
He'll be the hangman. I'm the hangman, yeah, hangman.
I'm the hangman, hangman...
5.Jamboree
I try to walk away
to prove I was in control
There’s got to be a cure
This can’t go on no more
Dressed in black in the midday sun
break the ice and on the run
Keep this up there won’t be none
I try to be real cool
You lock me in a room
You try to take off your dress
We both know what happened next
And when my skirt begins to ache
I realize that it’s too late
to love you like a chocolate cake
Because we both know you’re my dream date
Wear an old potatoe sack
Trailer for a hat
Haircut for a bowl
Two eyes made of coal
One two three, one two four
The bees are hop, the bees are ho
But that’s one thing she’ll never know
6.Ask Me
Don't know I feel today
I feel the same as yesterday
Five hands crawling up my back
Thump, thump had a heart attack
And oh, hey, well okay
Aren't you gonna ask me what I did today?
I'm goin' up and down
Hit the ground
Black and white
Why can't it be right?
And oh, hey, well okay
Aren't you gonna ask me what I did today?
Got a pumpkin and a tree
And ideas all flowery
You got a joke, a smoke
And punctuation
But not enough time for conversation
And oh, hey, well okay
Aren't you gonna ask me what I did today?
7.Crashing Through
Back burner is on fire
Freeze, dry clean, then retire
Yeah yeah, that cockroach overdue
Yeah yeah, gotta get a new haircut too
Yeah yeah, who says dreams don't come true
Whoa whoa, got a new thing crashing through
Set work top over tower
drop don't go sour
Yeah yeah, back seat stab overjewel
Yeah yeah, heard 'bout that on the news
Yeah yeah, can't stop that lopsy do
Whoa whoa, got a new thing crashing through
Push cart, that won't go
Catch ball, then overthrow
Yeah yeah, that's old school
Yeah yeah, that's overdue
Yeah yeah, skip that too
Whoa whoa, got a new thing crashing through
Whoa whoa, got a new thing crashing through
Whoa whoa, got a new thing crashing through
Got a new thing crashing through
8.Cat Walk
I look at them out together
And I see she's wearing my sweater
Ah, what the heck, I might as well let her
I was hardly gone
Before another boy came along
Not to say that that is wrong
But I wish she'd leave my sweater home
I look at them out together
I don't mind he's an okay fella
Anyway, it's probably better
She isn't stuck with me
I'm so bad at the intrigue
I'm glad I'm not stuck with her
She's got a bad habit of being pure
I look at them out together
I wonder why I always upset her
I think to myself what does it matter
I wonder now what does it matter?
I wonder now what does it matter?
Does it matter?
9.Drive Car Girl
Hey!
You're just a little shy
There's something in your eyes
You could have any guy
If you only stick around a while
Yet you drive that boy around
Drive that boy around
Drive that boy around
You could teach the birds to sing
With the power you're denying
You could have everything
It only takes a little trying
Yet you drive that boy around
Drive that boy around
Drive that boy around
Ba ba ba da da da
Ba da da da
It must be something deep
That keeps you pushing aside
He doesn't even bother to read
What's held behind your eyes
He's too busy making up lies
Still you drive that boy around
Drive that boy around
You could be driving this boy around
You could be driving this boy around
10.Midnight A Go-go
Don't you mind that daily grind
Cause I walk down the side streets too
Nine to five where they live their lives
Never knowing what the night looks to you
Hey girl, come with me
We're on our own, can't you see
The world is different, we're outside
Take a step midnight a go-go tonight
Take a step midnight a go-go tonight
Take a step midnight a go-go tonight
Take a step midnight a go-go tonight
L7 can have the day
They'll never take the night time away
Midnight a go-go, yeah yeah
Is when we come out to play
Hey girl, come with me
We'll stop the world, then let it go free
I need to know what's in your mind
We'll touch our souls, then leave them behind
Hey girl, come with me
We'll stop the world, then let it go free
I need to know what's in your mind
We'll touch our souls, then leave them behind
Ah, midnight a go-go, yeah yeah
Ah, midnight a go-go, yeah yeah
Ah, midnight a go-go, yeah yeah
Midnight a yeah yeah, go go.
11.This Many Boyfriends Club
This many boyfriends walk her home
This many boyfriends ring the phone
Lori, Lori what's the story?
All those boys think you are boring
They just see those bobby socks
Not what's beneath those curly locks
It makes me mad
When I see them make you sad
Sometimes I wanna be real bad
And shove those words back down their throat
Lori, Lori what's the story?
Let's go do some apple coring
We will bake an apple pie
Maybe that will dry your eyes
The oven's warm
How come your hands are so cold?
Lori, Lori what's the hurry?
So they think they're judge and jury
The reason we cause such a flurry
Is they'll never love so purely
We tip over apple carts
With the pounding of our hearts
Lori, Lori don't you worry
We'll have our own swimming party
We'll swim up and we'll swim back
Now you're sitting in my lap
And there's one thing I forgot
I love Lori a lot.
I see you hang in the crowd
Staring me down
With that ice cream cone
Still i'm all alone
You've got me caught
Let go my heart
Or give me a sign
That you'll be mine
I've got a crush on you
I've got a crush on you
You won't let me through
I've got a crush on you
I've got a crush on you
What am i to do?
I've got a crush on you
I saw you flying your plane
Driving me insane
Hit me with a bone
Still i'm all alone
