    STOP BREAKING DOWN
    Everytime Im walkin, down the streets,
    some pretty mama she starts breakin down
    Stop breakin down, yes stop breakin down
    The stuff I gotll bust your brains out, baby, hoo hoo,
    itll make you lose your mind.
    Now, you Saturday night womens, you love to ape and clown,
    you wont do nothin but tear good man (i.e Jack White) reputation down
    Stop breakin down, please stop breakin down
    The stuff I gotll bust your brains out, baby, hoo hoo,
    itll make you lose your mind
    Now, I give my baby, now, the ninety-nine degree,
    she jumped up and throwed a pistol down on me
    Stop breakin down, please stop breakin down
    Stuff I gotll bust your brains out, if you think you lose your mind


    THE BIG THREE KILLED MY BABY
    The big three killed my baby
    no money in my hand again
    the big three killed my baby
    nobody's coming home again
    Their ideas made me want to spit
    a hundred dollars goes down the pit
    30,000 wheels are rollin
    and my stick shift hands are swollen
    everything involved is shady
    the big three killed my baby
    The big three killed my baby
    no money in my hand again
    the big three killed my baby
    nobody's coming home again
    Why dont you take the day off and try to repair
    a billion others dont seem to care
    better ideas are stuck in the mud
    the motors runnin on tuckers blood
    dont let them tell you the future's electric
    cause gasolines not measured in metric
    30,000 wheels are spinnin'
    and oil company faces are grinnin
    now my hands are turnin' red
    and i found out my baby is dead
    The big three killed my baby
    no money in my hand again
    the big three killed my baby
    nobodys coming home again
    Well i've said it now, nothings changed
    people are burnin for pocket change
    and creative minds are lazy
    and the big three killed my baby
    And my babys my common sense
    so dont feed me planned obsolescence
    yeah my baby's my common sense
    so dont feed my planned obsolescence
    im about to have another blowout
    im about to have another blowout



    SUZY LEE
    Theres a story
    I would like to tell
    My problem is
    Its one you know too well
    Its one you know too well
    Me Suzy Lee
    The one im speaking of
    The question is
    Is she the one i love ?
    Is she the one i love ?
    (all right)
    Is she the one i love ?
    Shell send me flowers
    With her tears bored inside
    And you know what id do
    I would run and hide
    I would run and hide
    And the paper
    On it was my name
    With the question
    Do you feel the same ?
    Do you feel the same ?
    To end this tale
    The one im speaking of
    I wish i have an answer (but i dont know)
    Is this really love ?
    Is this really love ?
    Is this really love ?


    SUGAR NEVER TASTED SO GOOD
    Sugar never tasted so good
    Sugar never tasted so good
    Sugar never tasted good to me
    Yeah
    Until her eyes crossed over
    Until her mind crossed over
    Until her soul fell next to me
    Now
    If the wrinkle that is in your brain
    Has given you quite a steam
    Your fingers have become a crane
    Pulling on these puppet strings
    Yeah
    What a feeling thats begun
    What a feeling thats begun
    What a feeling thats begun
    What a feeling thats begun
    I felt just like a baby
    Until I held a baby
    What a fool this boy can be
    Yeah
    And her thougths like a daisy
    Until my mind gets lazy
    I mustve been crazy not to see
    Alright
    If the wrinkle that is in your brain
    Sting, not steam
    Your fingers have become a crane
    Your fingers have become a crane
    Your fingers have become a crane
    Pulling on these puppet strings
    Water never tasted so good
    Water never tasted so good
    Water never tasted good to me


    WASTING MY TIME
    And if im wasting my time
    then nothing could be better
    than hanging on the line
    and waiting for an honest word forever
    And if youre saying goodbye
    please dont you think me bitter
    for recalling every rhyme
    from the book the page
    the line the word the letter
    Well the windows turning blue
    and the waters ever flowing
    and i hope im not a fool
    for laughing at myself
    as you are going


    ASTRO

    Maybe jasper does the astro,

    Maybe edison is AC-DC





    BROKEN BRICKS
    Have you been to the broken bricks girl
    Snuck down through the cyclone fence
    Past the caution tape
    And the security gate
    Back way to the breakroom bench
    Well there's a little corner where you first got kissed
    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
    Don't go to the broken bricks girl
    It's not a place that you want to be
    Think of the spot your father spent his life
    Demolition calls it Building C
    Demolition calls it Building C now
    Demolition calls it Building C now




    WHEN I HEAR MY NAME
    when i hear my name i want to disappear
    when i hear my name i want to disappear
    oh oh oh oh
    when i see my face i want to disappear
    when i see my face i want to disappear
    oh oh oh oh
    Do
    Well somebody walked up to me
    but i didnt know what to do
    and then somebody said hello to me
    but i didnt know what to do
    because i think that my words could get
    twisted so i bend my back over take a
    gulp be funny cause i know theres nothing i can do
    Then my mother tried to pick me up
    when i was sittin down on the ground
    something forced my little eyes come open
    but i couldnt make out the sound
    it doesnt matter cause my eyes are lying
    and they dont have emotion
    dont wanna be social, cant take it when they hate me
    but i know theres nothing i can do
    When my thoughts start to feel like mine
    theyre taken from me it seems to happen
    all the time (every time)
    and the feelings that are fine for you
    theres somebody there
    who doesnt think they are true
    so think of something new
    theres nothing left to do
    And then my idols walk next to me
    i look up at them they fade away
    its a destruction of a mystery
    the more i listen to what they say
    so does that mean that theres no more doin
    and theres no more thinkin
    and theres no more feeling
    cause theres no right opinion
    so can you tell me what im supposed to do


    SCREWDRIVER
    Tuesday morning now
    I gotta have somewhere to go
    I call up tommy now
    I call him on the telephone
    Wont you wake up and come with me now
    Im going to the pawn and loan
    Walking down thirty three
    Walking on thirty o
    Well what am i supposed to think
    I drop a nickel in the sink
    I love people like a brother now
    But im not gonna be their mother now
    What if someone walked up to me
    And like an apple cut right through me
    Im not the one whos sinnin
    Screwdriver
    Now that you have heard my story now
    Ive got a little ending to it now
    Whenever you go out alone
    Take a little dog a bone
    Think about your little sister
    Then you got to drive it home
    With a screwdriver
    I got a little feeling goin now
    I got a little feeling goin now


    ONE MORE CUP OF COFFEE
    Your breath is sweet
    Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
    Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
    On the pillow where you lie.
    But I dont sense affection
    No gratitude or love
    Your loyalty is not to me
    But to the stars above.
    One more cup of coffee for the road
    One more cup of coffee fore I go
    To the valley below.
    Your daddy hes an outlaw
    And a wanderer by trade
    Hell teach you how to pick and choose
    And how to throw the blade
    He oversees his kingdom
    So no stranger does intrude
    His voice it trembles as he calls out
    For another plate of food
    One more cup of coffee for the road,
    One more cup of coffee fore I go
    To the valley below
    Your sister sees the future
    Like your mama and yourself
    Youve never learned to read or write
    Theres no books upon your shelf.
    And your pleasure knows no limits
    Your voice is like a meadowlark
    But your heart is like an ocean
    Mysterious and dark
    One more cup of coffee for the road,
    One more cup of coffee fore I go
    To the valley below


    ST. JAMES INFIRMARY BLUES
    Folks, Im goin down to St. James Infirmary,
    See my baby there;
    Shes stretched out on a long, white table,
    Shes so sweet, so cold, so fair.
    Let her go, let her go, God bless her,
    Wherever she may be,
    She will search this wide world over,
    But shell never find another sweet man like me.
    Now, when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches,
    Put on a box-back coat and a stetson hat,
    Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
    So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat.
    Folks, now that you have heard my story,
    Say, boy, hand me another shot of that booze;
    If anyone should ask you,
    Tell em Ive got those St. James Infirmary blues.

    I FOUGHT PIRHANAS
    Well i hold the rope
    and i hold the sail
    and i kept my papers
    to keep from land in jail
    and i fought piranhas
    and i fought the cold
    there was no one with me
    i was all alone
    Well its easter morning now
    and theres noone around
    so i unroll the cement
    and walk into the town
    there was noone with me
    and i was all alone
    and i fought piranhas
    and i fought the cold
    Well you know what its like
    i dont got to tell you
    who puts up a fight
    walking out of hell now
    when you fought piranhas
    and you fought the cold
    theres nobody with you
    and youre all alone
