  LAND OF SUNSHINE -- * YOU HAVE A WINNING WAY, SO KEEP IT * YOUR

  FUTURE * YOU ARE AN ANGEL HEADING FOR A LAND OF SUNSHINE * AND

  FORTUNE US SMILING UPON YOU * PREPARE FOR A SERIES OF COMFORTABLE

  MIRACLES * FROM FASTING TO FEASTING * AND LIFE TO YOU IS A

  DASHING, BOLD ADVENTURE * SO SING AND REJOICE * AND LOOK FOR THE

  DREAM THAT KEEPS COMING BACK * YOUR FUTURE * PAT YOURSELF ON THE

  BACK AND GIVE YOURSELF A HANDSHAKE * CUZ EVERYTHING IS NOT YET

  LOST...  (DOES LIFE SEEM WORTHWHILE TO YOU?) * HERE'S HOW TO

  ORDER! * DOES LIFE SEEM WORTHWHILE TO YOU?  DO OTHERS PUSH YOU

  AROUND?  IS AGE AGAINST YOU?  SING AND REJOICE!  DOES LIFE SEEM

  WORTHWHILE TO YOU?  DOES EMOTIONAL MUSIC * HAVE QUITE AN EFFECT

  ON YOU?  I-I CAN HELP - I CAN HELP YOU - I CAN HELP YOU HELP

  YOURSELF!  HERE'S HOW TO ORDER!  

  

  CAFFEINE -- * VARICOSE * COMATOSE * SENILE * CAFFEINE * POUR

  SHAME ALL OVER US * HARDEN INTO A CRUST * - - - CEMENT - - - *

  FORGET THE GLAMOUR AND * MUMBLE A JACKHAMMER * - - - UNDER YOUR

  BREATH - - - * HIDE YOUR FACE IN THE CURTAINS * BETTER UNSAID,

  SO CLOSE * AND IT ROLLS OFF THE TONGUE * ALMOST * THE WORLD

  EXPECTS THE POSE * PERFECTLY NATURAL * - - - LOOSEN UP - - - *

  SMEARING WET CONCRETE * AND SWEARING YOU'LL NEVER BE * - - -

  CAUGHT - - - * AT YOUR WEAKEST, ETCHED IN STONE * AND WE'RE

  FROZEN HERE, PEEKING * ALMOST, SWEET TALK, CAFFEINE * MAKE

  CONTACT * UP TO MY NECK * I CONFESS IN QUICKSAND * "BUT IT'S SO

  EASY FOR YOU" * "THERE'S ALWAYS ONE THING" * "DO YOU HAVE

  SOMETHING TO TELL ME?" * "SAY SOMETHING" * "ANYTHING" * I'M

  WARNING YOU * I'M WARNING YOU * I'M FUCKING YOU * I'M WARNING YOU

  * "RELAX" * "IT'S JUST A PHASE" * "YOU'LL GROW OUT OF IT" *

  BELIEVE ANYTHING ANYONE EVER TELLS YOU * IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE

  * IT'S THING YOU HATE THE MOST * THE THING YOU HATE THE MOST *

  THE THING YOU HATE ALMOST * 

  

  MIDLIFE CRISIS -- * GO ON AND WRING MY NECK * LIKE WHEN A RAG

  GETS WET * A LITTLE DISCIPLINE * FOR MY PET GENIUS * MY HEAD IS

  LIKE A LETTUCE * GO ON AND DIG YOUR THUMBS IN * I CANNOT STOP

  GIVING * I'M THIRTY-SOMETHING * SENSE OF SECURITY * LIKE POCKETS

  JINGLING * MIDLIFE CRISIS * SUCK INGENUITY * DOWN THROUGH THE

  FAMILY TREE * YOU'RE PERFECT, YES, IT'S TRUE * BUT WITHOUT ME

  YOU'RE ONLY YOU * YOUR MENSTRUATING HEART * IT AIN'T BLEEDING

  ENOUGH FOR TWO * IT'S A MIDLIFE CRISIS... * WHAT AN INHERITANCE

  * THE SALT AND THE KLEENEX * MORBID SELF ATTENTION * BENDING MY

  PINKY BACK * A LITTLE DISCIPLINE * A DONOR BY HABIT * A LITTLE

  DISCIPLINE * RENT AN OPINION * SENSE OF SECURITY * HOLDING BLUNT

  INSTRUMENT * I'M A PERFECTIONIST * AND PERFECT IS A SKINNED KNEE

  * YOU'RE PERFECT, YES, IT'S TRUE * BUT WITHOUT ME YOU'RE ONLY YOU

  * YOUR MENSTRUATING HEART * IT AIN'T BLEEDING ENOUGH FOR TWO *

  IT'S A MIDLIFE CRISIS............... * 

  

  RV -- * BACKSIDE MELTS INTO THE SOFA * MY WORLD, MY TV, AND MY

  FOOD * BESIDES LISTENING TO MY BELLY GURGLE * AIN'T MUCH ELSE TO

  DO * YEAH, I SWEAT A LOT * PANTS FALL DOWN EVERY TIME I BEND OVER

  * AND MY FEET ITCH * YEAH - I MARRIED A SCARECROW * I HATE YOU

  * TALKIN' TO MYSELF * EVERYBODY'S STARIN' AT ME * I'M ONLY

  BLEEDIN' * SOMEONE TAPS ME ON THE SHOULDER EVERY 5 MINUTES *

  NOBODY SPEAKS ENGLISH ANYMORE * WOULD ANYONE TELL ME IF I WAS

  GETTIN' STUPIDER? * I HATE YOU * TALKIN' TO MYSELF * YOU DON'T

  FEEL IT AFTER AWHILE * YOU TAKE THE BEATING * I'M A SWINGIN' GUY

  * THROW A BELT OVER THE SHOWER CURTAIN ROD * AND SWING - - - *

  TOSS ME INSIDE A HEFTY * AND PUT ME IN THE GROUND * A DRINK NEEDS

  ME * I DON'T * I AIN'T ABOUT TO GUZZLE NO TEARS * SO KISS MY ASS

  SMALLER AND SMALLER -- * DROUGHT MAKES THE WORKERS DREAM *

  MUSCLES AND FIELDS OF GREEN * SHOVEL THE LAST FEW CRUMBS * OF

  GENEROSITY * OPEN HEARTS, OPEN MIND, OPEN MOUTH, OPEN VEIN *

  EVERYTHING'S RUINED -- * THINGS WORKED OUT BETTER THAN WE HAD

  PLANNED * CAPITAL FROM BOY, WOMAN AND MAN * WE WERE LIKE INK AND

  PAPER * NUMBERS ON A CALCULATOR * KNEW ARITHMETIC SO WELL *

  WORKING OVERTIME * COMPLETED WHAT WAS ASSIGNED * WE HAD TO

  MULTIPLY OURSELVES * A BOUNCING LITTLE BABY * A SHINY COPPER

  PENNY * AND HE SPENT HIMSELF * WOULD NOT LISTEN TO US * BUT WHEN

  HE LOST HIS APPETITE * HE LOST HIS WEIGHT IN FRIENDS * BABY

  BECAME A FAT NICKEL SO FAST * THEN CAME PUBERTY * EXPONENTIALLY

  * SOON OUR BOY BECAME A MILLION * PEOPLE LOVED HIM SO * AND

  HELPED HIM TO GROW * EVERYONE KNEW THE THING THAT WAS BEST * OF

  COURSE, HE MUST INVEST * A PENNY WON'T DO * BUT HE MADE US PROUD

  * HE MADE US RICH * BUT HOW WERE WE TO KNOW * HE'S COUNTERFEIT

  * NOW EVERYTHING'S RUINED * 

  

  MALPRACTICE -- * THE CROWD ROARS * IT'S DEEP AND SO UNHEALTHY *

  THE REST YOU KNOW * I'LL FEEL THE HANDS THAT FELT ME * COLD HANDS

  * YOUR HANDS * COVER MY MOUTH * WHILE I'M STARING INTO BRIGHT

  LIGHTS * APPLAUSE * THE CROWD ROARS * THE REST YOU KNOW * TEN

  LOVERS VIOLATING * CURED * DISCHARGED * REACH BACK INSIDE *

  KNUCKLE WHITE * RUFFLE WHITE * THE CROWD ROARS * THEY RUINED AND

  REPAIRED ME * THE REST YOU KNOW * THE HANDS REMOVED THE BAD THING

  * MIRACLE * 

  

  KINDERGARTEN -- * RETURN TO MY OWN VOMIT LIKE A DOG * RHYMES AND

  GIGGLES MUFFLE THE DIALOGUE * CARVE MY INITIALS IN A TREE, I WILL

  NEVER LEAVE * MAYBE ONE DAY I'LL BE ROYALTY * KINGDOM *

  KINDERGARTEN * BORN LATE * WILL I GRADUATE? * DRINKING FOUNTAINS

  ARE SHORTER THAN THEY USED TO * THE SWINGS ON THE PLAYGROUND

  DON'T EVEN FIT ME ANYMORE * FOLKLORE: NOBODY'S SUPPOSED TO

  BELIEVE IN THE NEXT GRADE * WRITE IT A HUNDRED TIMES * KINGDOM

  * KINDERGARTEN * WAITING * BELL'S NOT RINGING * HELD BACK AGAIN

  * EVERYTHING GOT QUIET SUDDENLY; NO DOLBY * AND THE THEATRE IS

  EMPTY * FILM IS FLAPPING ON THE SIDE OF THE PROJECTOR * THE REEL

  IS OVER * BANISHED WITH MY STICKY SHOES AND STINGING EYES * I'M

  WALKING OUTSIDE * KINGDOM * KINDERGARTEN * BORN LATE * WILL I

  GRADUATE? * HELD BACK AGAIN * 

  

  BE AGGRESSIVE -- * I STARTED THIS * IT'S ALL FOR ME * WHAT'S

  YOURS IS MINE AND MINE IS MINE * THAT'S PLAIN TO SEE * SO GIVE

  IT UP * I'VE GOT TO HAVE * I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I

  SWALLOW * BE AGGRESSIVE * B-E AGGRESSIVE * B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-

  E- * WHAT SOMEONE ELSE * WOULD LEAVE BEHIND * AND SPIT IT OUT,

  LET GO TO WASTE * I CLAIM AS MINE * YOU'RE MY FLAVOUR OF THE WEEK

  * I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW * TALL AND RECKLESS

  * UGLY SEED * REACH DOWN MY THROAT * YOU FILTHY BIRD * THAT'S ALL

  I NEED * THE EMPTY PIT * I'VE GOT TO FEED * TO PROVE I'M FIT *

  A HEALTHY MAN * I'VE GOT TO BE * MALNUTRITION, MY SUBMISSION *

  YOU'RE THE MASTER * AND I TAKE IT ON MY KNEES * EJACULATION *

  TRIBULATION * I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW * BE

  AGGRESSIVE * B-E AGGRESSIVE * B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E- * GO,

  FIGHT, GO, FIGHT, GO, FIGHT, GO, FIGHT, WIN * 

  

  A SMALL VICTORY -- * A HIERARCHY * SPREAD OUT ON THE NIGHTSTAND

  * THE SPIRIT OF TEAM * SALVATION IS ANOTHER CHANCE * A SORE LOSER

  * YELLING WITH MY MOUTH SHUT * A CRACKING PORTRAIT * THE FONDLING

  OF TROPHIES * THE NULL OF LOSING * CAN YOU AFFORD THAT LUXURY?

  * A SORE WINNER * BUT I'LL JUST KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT * IT SHOULDN'T

  BOTHER ME * BUT IT DOES * THE SMALL VICTORIES * THE CANKERS AND

  MEDALLIONS * THEY KEEP ME THINKING THAT SOMEDAY * I MIGHT BEAT

  YOU * BUT I'LL JUST KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT * THE LITTLE NOTHINGS *

  IT SHOULDN'T BOTHER ME * BUT IT DOES * IF I SPEAK AT ONE CONSTANT

  VOLUME AT ONE CONSTANT PITCH AT ONE CONSONANT RHYTHM RIGHT INTO

  YOUR EAR, YOU STILL WON'T HEAR * YOU STILL WON'T HEAR * YOU STILL

  WON'T HEAR * YOU STILL WON'T HEAR * YOU STILL WON'T HEAR * YOU

  STILL WON'T HEAR * YOU STILL WON'T HEAR * 

  

  CRACK HITLER -- * SINK THE EIGHT BALL * BUY THE LADY A DRINK *

  AND NOBODY KNOWS MY NAME * BODIES FLOAT UP * FROM THE BOTTOM OF

  THE RIVER * LIKE BUBBLES IN FINE CHAMPAGNE * HE'S THE ONE, NO

  DOUBT * WALKIN' ON A TIGHTROPE * HE'S THE ONE, NO DOUBT * GOT A

  GASH ON MY HEAD * AND A GRIN ON MY FACE * AND A SHADOW CALLED

  DANGER * HIDIN' IN THE SHEETS * AND ON THE STREETS * IN THE HEART

  OF EVERY STRANGER * HERE HE COMES, LOOK OUT * TEACH THE WORLD A

  LESSON * HERE HE COMES, LOOK OUT * SWEAT ON THE BROW * AND A TAP

  ON THE PHONE * AND LIVES ARE ON THE LINE * PICK UP THE BRIEFCASE

  * ON A HIGH SPEED CHASE * BREATHIN' BY THE ROLL * OF THE DICE *

  REACHIN' UP TO THE TOP * WE'RE DEPENDIN' ON YOU * REACHIN' UP TO

  THE TOP * "IN REGARDS TO * MY USAGE OF THE DRUG... * IT MODIFIED

  MY PERSONALITY * TO THE EXTENT THAT I WAS * HIGHLY IRRITABLE."

  * "I WAS LIKE A CRACK HITLER" * KEEP UP THE FIGHT * AND IN THE

  WINK OF AN EYE * NEVER GIVE UP * OOH..AHH.. * LOOK OUT * 

  

  JIZZLOBBER -- * SMILES * BRUISES * SMILES * BRUISES * BARS IN THE

  WOMB * I HIDE THE DIRTY MINUTES UNDER MY DIRTY MATTRESS AND THEY

  ARE MAKING ME ITCH * MY TIME * IS SPILT MILK * MY SKIN IS A LAYER

  OF SOOT * I'M SPENDING MY DAYS SCRUBBING * I'M TRYING SO HARD TO

  ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED (NO ONE LEFT TO BLAME) * I'M TRYING SO

  HARD TO FIND THAT FRESH, CLEAN SMELL (NO ONE LEFT TO BLAME) *

  SMILES * BRUISES * SMILES * BRUISES * BARS IN THE WOMB * I HIDE

  THE DIRTY MINUTES UNDER MY DIRTY MATTRESS AND THEY ARE MAKING ME

  ITCH * MY TIME * IS SPILT MILK * CRUEL WORLD SLEEPS ABOVE ME *

  MOUNTING AND TEASING * I AM WHAT I'VE DONE * I AM WHAT I'VE DONE
