How Stupid I Am
You wanna know how stupid I am? I never married because I have this plan. I’m gonna be famous, top of the stairs, travel in style and have lots of affairs. Beautiful women, idyllic girls, from Hollywood to Paris, all around the world. And tho I grow older it’s the dream of a child, that’s…
To Heaven Before I Die
I want to get to heaven before I die so i’m walking down the road, lord i’m feeling high. Looking for the lady, the apple of my eye, I want to get to heaven before I die. I want to hear the angels when they sing. Sitting on the clouds, plucking those strings. But in…
Last One Ever
This is the last one. The last one ever! This is the last one. I swear it tastes so good. How dare it keep on giving to the end. How dare I reply “Lord I’ll miss ya,” by and by. How dare I, can’t deny I’d probably rather die. This is the last one. The…

I Hate Love
In my heart, the moment I could tell she was beautiful, the world fell and I didn’t rise but sank downward, downward, downward down. And if I had cried I would surely have drowned All because i had nothing to trust, I fell without thinking thinking I hate love. I hate love. Desire always enters…
Holly Would (if she could)
She wants to be a rock star, so she plays hard — just like she should. She’ll never make it too far, she’s waiting on a wild card — she’s not that good. She’s living in her van — but she’s got a master plan I wouldn’t but Holly would. When she was just fifteen,…
