Profile Of A New Elite (M. Girio) Well boys it's not unlike your father to be hateful So eat up because it's not polite to be ungrateful DEEP UNDER EVERY HOME THERE'S BURIED A SECRET DADDY'S DIGGING THEM OUT SHOULD THEY THINK TO KEEP IT EVERY MEMBER OF EVERY FAMILY IS GUILTY OH, GUILTY IT'S A GUILT THAT IS NOT ALLOWED Let no stone be un-turned, no petty vice unraveled And if it's really bad, we'll crush it with the gavel DEEP UNDER EVERY HOME THERE'S BURIED A SECRET DADDY'S DIGGING THEM OUT SHOULD THEY THINK TO KEEP IT EVERY MEMBER OF EVERY FAMILY IS GUILTY OH, GUILTY IT'S A GUILT THAT IS NOT ALLOWED Stiff joints between the bones when they fall from the closet Marrow dries to the joints like crusty bits of gossip Well boys it's not unlike your father to be hateful So eat up because the truth is more than just a plateful DEEP UNDER EVERY HOME THERE'S BURIED A SECRET DADDY'S DIGGING THEM OUT SHOULD THEY THINK TO KEEP IT EVERY MEMBER OF EVERY FAMILY IS GUILTY OH, GUILTY IT'S A GUILT THAT IS NOT ALLOWED

Breaking My Heart Again (M. Girio) Well, do the Jerk or do the Monkey Until you get it right Mash Potato or the Donkey Get into a fight We’re gonna play till the morning Until the break of light Just a little bit of dancing Then you can’t be wrong Just a little bit of dancing Dancing all night long You brought your dead weight of a boyfriend Who doesn’t want to dance Don’t think about it for a moment And give me just one chance I don’t care what you think about me I don’t wanna romance Just a little bit of dancing Then you can’t be wrong Just a little bit of dancing Dancing all night long So get your ass onto the floor, girl You better shake those hips So what you think we play this shit for? Can’t you read my lips? It’s time to make a move so act now You can do the twist Just a little bit of dancing Then you can’t be wrong Just a little bit of dancing Dancing all night long Your eyes are breaking my heart again...

It's Quitting Time! (M. Girio) It's quitting time! Punch it out, punch it! I've been here a week I can't take one more I'm itching to leave I'm scratching at the door Do you know? Do you know? Do you know? It's quitting time! Punch it out, punch it! I've done all my time I've given my all I'm sinking below I'm climbing up the wall Do you know? Do you know? Do you know? It's quitting time! Punch it out, punch it! I'm a quitter (He's a quitter) I quit!

Speaking For The Skeptics (M. Girio) Revealed as just a hoax Or a table tilt with magic tricks While poorly lit by candlesticks And although we're holding hands There's nothing to substantiate They're using wires to levitate I have had enough J.B. RHINE, OR MIRABELLI WELL, THEY MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE TIME OR THE LOVE THAT I'M SENDING YOU BUT THEN YOU WON'T READ MY MIND WHAT'S THE WORD THAT I'M SEARCHING FOR WHEN IT'S YOU I WANT TO FIND TRYING TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION BUT YOU'RE ALWAYS ON THE LINE I told you how I feel But you will never listen to me Not even telepathically I'm skeptical at heart There is reason to speculate When I'm put on hold and I have to wait I have had enough J.B. RHINE, OR MIRABELLI WELL, THEY MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE TIME OR THE LOVE THAT I'M SENDING YOU BUT THEN YOU WON'T READ MY MIND WHAT'S THE WORD THAT I'M SEARCHING FOR WHEN IT'S YOU I WANT TO FIND TRYING TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION BUT YOU'RE ALWAYS ON THE LINE The medium is love The message is extrasensory Because you won't even look at me Clairvoyance has its charm, you said So does telekinesis, my dear Use it to let me know you're here I have had enough J.B. RHINE, OR MIRABELLI WELL, THEY MIGHT HAVE SEEN THE TIME OR THE LOVE THAT I'M SENDING YOU BUT THEN YOU WON'T READ MY MIND WHAT'S THE WORD THAT I'M SEARCHING FOR WHEN IT'S YOU I WANT TO FIND TRYING TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION BUT YOU'RE ALWAYS ON THE LINE

Taking Back The Ring (M. Girio) It was something like a Tuesday Well I don't really know I went out for a walk Cuz my head hurt me so Then I saw you kissing some guy Like it was no big thing That's why I'm telling you right now I'm taking back the ring I was standing on the corner Back in our old neighbourhood I went out for a smoke Thought it'd do me good Then I saw you kissing some guy Like it was no big thing That's why I'm telling you right now I'm taking back the ring Well we fought through the morning But we made up by noon I went out for a walk Came back whistling some old tune Then I saw you kissing some guy Like it was no big thing That's why I'm telling you right now I'm taking back the ring

Drink In Your Head (M. Girio) All of the girls have gone to bed While you lie awake with drink in your head Babylon come, you thought you were dead While you lie awake with drink in your head You lie awake with drink in your head You've got regrets, sit You've said some things you can't take back You've got to answer All of the girls have gone to bed While you lie awake with drink in your head Babylon come, you thought you were dead While you lie awake with drink in your head You lie awake with drink in your head What were you thinking? Now you've done some things you can't undo You've got to answer Now you've done your damage, boy Is there a way to make this right? Now you've got to answer All of the girls have gone to bed While you lie awake with drink in your head Babylon come, you thought you were dead While you lie awake with drink in your head You lie awake with drink in your head credits

My Lovely Grenadine (M. Girio) Wednesday evening, I was dancing With my lovely Grenadine When I told her how I loved her so She fell and laughed at me My lovely Grenadine I love it when she's mean My lovely Grenadine Well this morning I made breakfast For my lovely Grenadine When I told her how I loved her so She spit it up at me My lovely Grenadine I love it when she's mean My lovely Grenadine Today I waited at the bus stop For my lovely Grenadine When she got off I yelled I love you so She kicked me in the knee Well I was hanging out with Grenadine She said "it looks like rain And if it rains all day Say you love me so Or you'll feel a world of pain" My lovely Grenadine I love it when she's mean You love me so come clean My lovely Grenadine

Annabelle 02:43
Annabelle (M. Girio) Annabelle Your world has come undone Quickly dissolving on your tongue The girl you thought you’d be Is someone else’s history From some forgotten seed WHEN HALF THE WORLD IS SLUMBERING YOU LIE AWAKE HALF WONDERING WHO WILL LEAVE SOMETHING HERE FOR ANNABELLE? Everyday the sunlight hits it’s mark Crawling up slowly from the dark The cracks you cannot see At night are spreading out like weeds From some forgotten seed You kick your shoes off in the park Feel the rush of air that’s singing Feet touching the sand that’s stinging Don’t believe a word You can remember Your still Annabelle With no one to absolve you Because the problem still revolves around the fear That’s floating in the atmosphere That’s coming oh so near
