Show Biz 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Its alright, baby you know this. Might as well get into show biz. We’re the stuff that stars are made of. Sound sincere when you say love. Chorus1 - in front of the camera so natural. Outfit is choice, and magical. Verse2 - Break a leg, baby you’re famous. Eyes are big and smiles contagious. Being seens your motivation. People scream, standing ovation. Chorus2 - in front of the camera so natural. Outfit is choice, and casual. Fancy drinks at the parties you go. There's free calamari baby I just thought I’d let you know. Woah! Out of work and going nowhere. Agents broke and he don’t care. If you’re looking for more bliss. You’re not cut out for show biz. Forgot my lines I ain’t sober. Think my career is over. If you’re looking for more bliss, You’re not cut out for show biz. You’ll never make it in show biz, Ohhh yeeeeaaaahhh!!

Sour Cream and a bit of chives, its the only thing keeping me alive. Gotta dig it out, roll it down a hill Gotta burlap sack to fill With that, tin foil I keep the shiny side out Been cooking for an hour then we toss em about YOU SAID this would be a real fun game Now i’ve BURNED MY HANDS and I’m feeling the pain Why you have to go and waste a tasty looking tuber like that now? Chorus - Its a hot potato, hot potato, hot potato, I’m burning my hands Hot potato, hot potato, bye bye my friend. Gettin’ tired of them simulated Bacon bits making me frustrated Like em fluffy, like a cloud. Yukon gold or some russet browns. Yeah its hot! No I didn’t stutter. Ditch the margarine and get me the butter YOU SAID this would be a real fun game Now i’ve BURNED MY HANDS and I’m feeling the pain Why you have to go and waste a tasty looking tuber like that now? Its a hot potato, hot potato, hot potato, I’m burning my hands Hot potato, hot potato, bye bye my friend.

Right On Sister 02:08
lyrics
buy track
Used to sing, used to play those catchy licks. But strumming strings doesn’t seem to do the trick. You’re searching for something new. While trying to earn a buck or two. And I know you had to go and roam, roaming free. I just hope that you’re thinking of me. Call her every day and night. Just to say right on sister you’re doing alright. I’m living cheap, yeah, there’s lots I can’t afford. You’re thoughts are deep and your poem won an award. You’re someone I can look up to. I’m hoping we can hook up soon. And I know you had to go and roam, roaming free. I just hope that you’re thinking of me. Call her every day and night. Just to say right on sister you’re doing alright. Making adult men cry (ohh nooo) She’s not shy (ohhh noooooo) She missed her flight (ohh nooo) But she’s still doing alright alright alright! wooo! Call her every day and night. Just to say right on sister you’re doing alright.

These Things Happen 02:46

I’ve captured the rabbit Still got a bad habit or two, but it’s cool. These things happen, I’m mapping out thoughts and clues, But its true, you’re making me blue. Verse2 - Descriptions rather vague, playing tag with my memories. My own worst enemies woah ho ho. When you’re living all zig to zag It can be a drag, oh you don’t say. These things happen, these things happen These things happen woah ho ho ho

Weresurfin 02:45
lyrics

Call me call me on the telephone. And if I’m, not at home. Well you can, leave a message. The moon’s still at a crescent. So I haven’t turned quite yet. When I turn, I like to get wet. So, I’m heading to the water for certain. Goin’ surfin’ weresurfin’ Woah, woah, when the moon is full. Waves, made by its gravital pull. And I’m hungry, looking for a snack. Splitting off from the rest of the pack. Chorus - Weresurfin’ that’s the plan. Weresurfin’ just to get a tan. Weresurfin’ no not the web, no no no no Surfs up, until we’re dead. Verse2 - I was weak before the curse. I never had the skills to surf. Now I’m going off pretty heavy. Turn a hodad into spaghetti. Woah woah its rock & roll. As the wolf takes control. I’m feeling a lot stronger. Can’t Hold on any longer

yeah, I party all the time, oh yeah. Why do you do that? ‘Cause I like to man, oh yeah. And I’m crushing these cans, just because I can. Tell me why do you do that? Its the official plan. Instrumental chorus Verse2 - yeah, I’m gonna need all the wine, pretty please. Are you gonna need cheese? Well I gotta loosen up before my strip tease. And I just wanna, I just wanna, I wanna lose it all. I just want to have a ball, yeah. Chorus - Tryin’ to do tryin’ to do, tryin’ to do right. X 3 Verse 3 - You got a big bag of joy? Well thats just a ploy. Tell me why don’t you do that? I gotta get crazy in a more sensible way. ‘Cause I party, but I party, responsibly. I’ll be friendly with you if you just promise to be friendly with me.

Looking For Magic 03:31
lyrics
buy track
If you’re hurting on the inside, then I hope you have heart. If you’re hurting on the outside, then you’re going show scars. If you’re looking for magic, then you came to the right guy. I think it’s kinda tragic, every day I’m getting high. Verse2 - Why you treat me so bad then pretend we're friends? Is it just a fad, you liking men? Or am I trippin’ on the inside? Baby tell me what’s wrong. ‘Cuz at first you want a whole lot, Now you want none. I want to start a fire, You just want to have fun. Verse3 - My past is blurry future is unknown, Except you’ll never break a heart of stone. So I turn to the tunes of Mick & Lou Hell yeah I know a mother flippin’ trick or two. So if you’re looking for the real love, Then baby step inside, Choice cuts and the best of, Hope You’re ready for a real wild ride.

Scuzzy Luxury 02:09
lyrics
buy track
All the money but you got no taste. Walking ‘round like you own the place. It’s strange what you waste. Gonna rearrange your face. You want that, you don’t need it, give it a pass You want that, you don’t need it, give it a pass No one’s home but the bong is lit. What you gonna do with all that spit. Not gonna use when you’re dead. Gonna leave it to your uncle Fred! You want that, you don’t need it, give it a pass You want stuff you don’t need shit, give it a pass!
