LYRICS

Ban Jo

'72 Pinto with the windows down, Beatlemania 8-track as the muffler hits the ground

He's coming in loud, I don't like him a bit

He only has this job so he can call in sick

Ban Jo, I can't take him no more

Ban Jo, I wish he'd just go home

Poor association, he's loose with a gun

He watches television with the radio on

He's coming in loud with his usual garb

He stumbles on the sidewalk as he gets in his car

Ban Jo, from the roads we drive

Ban Jo, so we can all stay alive

All the best people they just wander away

Joe and his torments,  well they're here to remain

Ban Jo from the bar he came

Ban Jo, I wish he'd just stay away

All The Above

Did they tell you about falling in love?

Did they tell you about falling apart?

A broken heart from a passionate try

Did they tell about crying about all the above?

Did they tell you about sinking or swimming

To lose with dignity a certain kind of winning

Sometimes it's ok to break the law

I hope you find a way of having fun with all the above

When it's time to move away

It's gonna happen kind of wish that you'd stay

You gotta go out and roll around the world

Backyard adventures are for chickens that are bound for the grill

Nobody needs to hear dumb advice

But when you give it it could sure feel nice

When's the river gonna really overflow

They said it last year, maybe this year it'll happen for sure

I hold your hand and it sure feels grand

To stand beside you I know that I am

A better person just because you do exist

Feel warm and fuzzy and for reasons that are all the above

Did they tell you about falling in love

Did they tell you about finding the one

Don't be discouraged if it doesn't work out

Feel free to choose to not to listen to all the above

Don't Go To Memphis (Without Me)

Sneaking out, feeling dirty, staying out 'til a million - thirty

So far away, that much is clear

You know I'll always love you so just stay right here

Don't go to Memphis without me

Don't go away when you're feeling bad

Don't go to Memphis without me

You know I'll always love you so just stay right here

Anytime you try too hard you know it never works out right

It happens once, it rarely does twice so hold me, yeah hold me, so tight

Some Things Go Away Too Soon

I tried anything but it didn't seem to work

Stuffed my notes on that in the pocket of my shirt

Entranced by the magic from when the days about to bloom

Some things go away too soon

He was quite genuine and people notice that

Charming strangers with a curious effect

Exchanging melodies any given afternoon

Some things go away too soon

Now you can't hold on to that, it's like water without a glass, oh yeah

I found my common sense that I never seem to use

Some things go away too soon

Aw, you can't hold on to that, it's like water without a glass, oh yeah

What's growing on the vine is that the harvest that I need?

Thriving flowers to someone else is just a weed

Wisdom ripened did I miss it when it bloomed

Some things go away too soon

Now you can't hold on to that, it's like water without a glass, oh yeah

The fleeting majesty of a perfect summer's day

Wandering the island we let let the earth decide the way

Banging on the doors of god until the sun became the moon

Some things go away too soon

Some things go away too soon

Some things go away too soon

Sweetening The Decisions

Selling off the strength, to carry on

The good times of the past are half price, the future's two for one

The dreams we have are marked down, they are priced to go

The future goodness of a beautiful day, well it looks like it's been sold

Like the king enjoys his turkey wing, the world's bouquet of magic things

A fresh baked pie arrives and it's a la mode

Pulling on her apron strings, wondering what the next day brings

Hunger will decide where you need to go

Sweetening the decisions of the day

French fries hot and serve up lots of chicken vindaloo

Fresh doughnuts make the world go 'round but fruit is better for you

We buy our steak with the money we make, on the grill we like to sear

Got a garden full of vegetables with fresh bite marks from the deer

Like the king enjoys his turkey wing, the world's bouquet of magic things

Mushrooms are sauteeing on the stove

Pulling on her apron strings, wondering what the next day brings

Hunger will decide where you need to go

Sweetening the decisions of the day

Is all ok was it something you ate, good food can change your life

A hot biscuit might just warm the heart of the coldest man alive

We'll be hungry soon, another choice for you, should we travel near or far

I like coconut but I don't know what, so just get into the car

Something new is simmering, like the first time you were on a swing

Way up in the sky well it's better than gold

Pulling on her apron strings, wondering what the next day brings

Hunger will decide where you need to go

Sweetening the decisions of the day

Oh Woe Is Me

Oh woe is me, it just came tumbling down

Oh woe is me, it just came tumbling down

Oh woe is me, it just came tumbling down

Oh woe is me, it just came tumbling down

Like the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, in my heart

Episodes of MASH, they keep playing in my apartment

Oh woe is me, it just came tumbling down

Oh woe is me, it just came tumbling down

Like a rock that keeps hitting me in the head, over and over again

It might have been those stupid things I did, or maybe it's something I said

And I know it's not the fault of the world at all, it's just me, oh it's just me

And I know this whole world could go wrong, if I don't break free, oh if it don't break free

All I see is a lot of pain right now, oh woe is me

Oh woe is me, it just came tumbling down

Oh woe is me, it just came tumbling down

Wrong To Feel Right

Well I gave up on giving up, so I moved to another town

Set the place on fire, didn't mean to burn it down

Angered the wrong people, so I tried to apologize

Woke up on a hotel floor without the chance to say goodbye

Why do I have to do something wrong to feel right?

Do something right, will it feel wrong?

Because if it feels right, I will try it all night long

Arrested in Jasper, Tennessee where they laughed and smoked our stash

They knew that we were yankees, a little chance to make some cash

Somewhere in West Virginia and I am wearing a disguise

Left the car running at the airport, and I can see it from the sky

Why do I have to do something wrong to feel right?

Do something right, will it feel wrong?

Because if it feels right, I will try it all night long

I will try it all night long

I will try it all night long.

I Will Complain

Summer came too late, winter was too cold

I would like to run to you but my legs don't wanna go

I didn't mean to say, all the things that were so lame

Sometimes when I try too hard the words come out that way

I will complain about anything at all

My life's too pleasant, I need no weapons

I am too much in love, she is so precious

It's truly heaven, still I will complain about anything at all

This dog is so sweet, I can't believe he just eats meat

I tried to feed him something else and he ran right down the street

This world is so cruel, killing anything for fuel

Call me and we'll drive for miles to play your barbeque

I will complain about anything at all

My life's too pleasant, I need no weapons

I am too much in love, she is so precious

It's truly heaven, still I will complain about anything at all

And I'll let you know if it's too large or if it's too small

Still I will complain about anything at all.

Wildflowers Thrive After Rain

What was your name and where did we go

What could we have done with the time

Where are my shoes and I can't find my coat

What was the song on the radio

Go ahead and give the worst you've got

Rust my house and wash away my car

The passing of time is killing off my friends

I will try to make it to the end

And through the trees...

Wildflowers thrive after rain

They don't need to ask or explain

Oh oh oh, they just do

And here comes rain

The trouble that I've made and what I've done

Convinces me I'm not the chosen one

Oh, everybody's gonna burn in hell

At least someone said it but nobody can tell

And through the trees...

Oh, wildflowers thrive after rain

They don't need to ask or explain

Oh oh oh, they just do

And here comes rain

Time to have some fun, wasting in the moon

They say there will be sun right through the afternoon

So what's the point of filling out these forms?

Convincing and deciding what went wrong

Oh, for many years a person's locked away

Yeah, someone made a rule they won't obey

It could cause some panicking, ranting and dismantling

Wildflowers thrive after rain

They don't need to ask or explain

Oh oh oh, they just do

And here comes rain

Rain rain rain rain rain

Rain and rain and rain and rain and trains

Rain rain rain rain rain

What's Your Problem

Hey, what's your problem, why you so bad?

Why you gotta make such a mess of things?

Be nice if you could maybe try to get things right

Doesn't really matter what we say

Gonna be a situation either way

It sure ain't no walk in the park, to stay so dark

Oh, this went wrong and that went wrong and this went wrong and that it ain't right

This went wrong, it's not my fault and then we fought and that ain't right

This went wrong, it's not my fault and then we fought and that ain't right

Guess it's gotta go either way

Either way

Gonna have another chance coming your way

Another chance for sorrow on this beautiful day

Be nice if you could bring a smile to a broken heart

Oh, this went wrong and that went wrong and this went wrong and that it ain't right

This went wrong, it's not my fault and then we fought and that ain't right

This went wrong, it's not my fault and then we fought and that ain't right

Guess it's gotta go either way

Either way

Hey, what's your problem, why you so bad?

Why you gotta make such a mess of things?

Be nice if you could bring a smile to a broken heart

It sure ain't no walk in the park to stay so dark

Be nice if you could maybe try to get things right

Sunshine

Sunshine, on a day that could be grey

Sometimes, that is all I really need, to feel ok

When the evening starts to take the sunlight

And the sky begins to cry

That could be the best part of the night

Here I am, and I've clearly lost my mind

Just can't, seem to do what might be right

Now I have my doubts if I'll ever make it out

Of this place that has taken such a toll

Sunshine, there are days that you can't save

Just have to find another way, to feel ok

When the evening starts to take the sunlight

And the sky begins to cry

That could be the best part of the night

I Love You More Every Day

I love you more, I love you more every day

Te quiero mas cada dia
