@ALBUM: Down in the Shacks Where the Satellite Dishes Grow Artist: The JudyBats 1992 Sire Records All selections by the JudyBats unless noted. ----------------------------------------------------------------- @SONG: Our Story This is our story It's a short one but it's a hard harsh read Between the lines a little aching need We're a strange arrangement No strings And the music we make is serpentine And bittersweet In my youth, you know I loved you like gangbusters and now I watch you fall Twisting turning growing small You're a roomful of sorrow A spoonful of joy Another infidelity, another pin Another golden glitter boy CHORUS I want you, I know it's crazy but I Really wanna leave you too I want you Boy oh boy you bring me joy And then you mke me blue I love to love you I'm a fool You're callous and you're cold And oh so cruel I'm starting to forget things Faces, names Games played, plans layed Surely there were promises made Good love is easy to find but It's hard to keep And though I hate it when you wake I still love to watch you sleep CHORUS Remember the early days When nickes were dimes and a dollar Took us everywhere I don't think I ever combed my hair Is this our story Is this where the loving starts In the stillness The staring, the hardening of hearts We're a strange arrangement No strings This is not my place These are not mythings, it's not my way The pain love brings CHORUS ---------------------------------------------- @SONG: She's Sad She Said Her beautiful arse Cantilevering over a table of hors d'oeuvres She took a sip of her drink and said, "Hey, this music really gets on my nerves." I said, "What music?" She said, "The music in my head Sometimes it makes me wish I were dead It's like a requiem It's like a rodeo Can't you hear it?" I said, "No." She said, "Like where is here And, tell me, how will I know when I get there I wear my little black dress, I'm just waiting around Will I think to comb my hair?" I said, "Will it matter?" She says, "Matter everywhere No one here, they never play fair I hope heaven is a place where sloe gin fizz comes in Those little glasses, you know the ones That are blue on the bottom and thin on the top?" CHORUS She said she said e said She's sad, she said She said she said she said She's sad She said she said she said She's sad she said she's sad She said she said she said She said, "You know, the people here, all they wanna do Is pick you apart; trouble is, they don't have time To put you back together again. I hate New York. I've thought about moving, to Italy Or Spain or Hell, maybe even Tennessee." CHORUS All she said Was she's sad she said All she said Was she's sad --------------------------------- @SONG: How It Is I've all the problems of the world Yeah, it's hard getting used to you Gotten gone, getting used to someone else When I'm getting over you Wanting to hold on to you, but holding on Speaks of letting go You're the only one I know Looking at you now in the half light The lines upon your face, lines I walk from time to time In song, you're mine CHORUS this is how it is when you're his And I've always been yours This is how it was and I still love you Because because because Standing on a hill I saw your faace in a cloud, face Go starship then dog Becoming cloud gain I remember when you said everything Is long and low and inbetween I see now what you mean I've been, I've seen CHORUS I've all the hours in the world I document my personal history Up the chart it climbs The buying of our time Said you heard me on the radio Soome song, said it sounded really real By borrowing, I feel I beg, I steal CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Down in the Shacks Where the Satellite Dishes Grow When all is said and done It might have been more fun If I'd stayed with you Down in the shacks Where the satellite dishes grow When all is tried and true I might have been less blue If I'd stayed with you Down in the shacks Where the satellite dishes grow You'd drive me into town When I was down not one word spoken, no sound Up from the valley Flying out through the open space Here it's all white noise The toys and their boys This buzzing unmerry-go-round Here in the city Where the sky hangs high and grey CHORUS It's hard to stay alive When there's so much living to do So much to love And so many people to learn to say no to It's hard to stay alive When there's so much living to do So much to love And so many people to learn to say no to When all is fought and won no better than I've done After all we'd been through Down in the shacks Where the satellite dishes grow hey, are thins still the same Heard you've taken his name I hope he's good to you Down in the shacks Where the satellite dishes grow CHORUS Well, I'm sorry but when I left you You were an asshole All those cold nights when you were There runnin' 'round with your drunk friends When all is said and done It might've been more fun If I'd stayed with you Down in the shacks Where the moon hangs big and low When all is tried and true I might've been less blue Down there, shacked up with you Down in the shacks Where the satsatellite dishes grow CHORUS ---------------------------------------------- @SONG: Margot Known As Missy Margot known as Missy Where di she where did she How could she to that Terrible city that city Margot known as Missy To cooking school to cooking school She's a private chef on Eleventh Avenue Is she cool CHORUS Margot known as Missy Margot known as Missy Margot known as Missy Where did she How could she Margot known as Missy I'd never been in love with a girl With a woman on her mind I'm not her kind I guess I'm blind Margot known as Missy Area code 11215 The letters that I write you Might be all that keeps me alive CHORUS Funky break! Hey, baby Bake me a cake To culinary school to culinary school Margot known as Missy Where did she where did she Just like Hannah's sister And her friend I'm so sure Hey Margot known as Missy Is your heart girl is it still pure CHORUS --------------------------------------------- @SONG: Witches' Night Scars on face Paper dolls Casting plastic shadows on plaster walls There is a red candle There is a refrain Did I hear that song somewhere before Or was it just plain This party is dreaming but I am awake To snooze another shot of gin For his sake CHORUS Witches' night Take me by disguise I should have dressed up for the sake of sore eyes Witches' night The harvest moon lies We all do Witches' night Out on the front porch Old mattresses lean As pitiful as the people that make this scene All used up, seamless, beyond repair I should have called a cab sixpacks ago When I had the fare Ellen parades her French lover Shannon is a hunchback and Shawn her mother A lot of prostitutes here, all rouge and fishnet stockings On call this year CHORUS Afloat on Barbara's waterbed My guise st down and cast a rippling spell I thought I would drown "Tell me lover, are you trick or treat I'm all mistrusting when things taste so sweet Tell me lover, are you trick or treat It's that I'm all mistrusting When things taste so sweet." CHORUS Kissed by Satan Embraced by a gnome All frog-legged and eye of newt I should go home The witching hour must be at hand 'cause I'm so in love I can barely stand The witching hour must be at hand 'cause I'm so in love I can barely stand Witches' night Take me by disguise Witches' night The lies we all tell ----------------------------------------------- @SONG: Is Anything Is what is what it was? Was what was ever really what it is to me today? Is what is what is was? CHORUS Is anything Is anything Is anything What do you when you don't/ What will you when you won't Lay with me stay with me...fuck me baby Is what is what it was? CHORUS Florida and blonde at fifteen, before The sinking in of things, before the critics in the wings And the constant compromise How can we have wondered about so much for so long And received so few answers? How can we Have wondered about so much for so long And received so few answers? ---------------------------------------------------------------- @SONG: Poor Bruised World I try to sleep outside of myself Absorb some of the shock All l the world is unwinding Like some heartless old clock Look to the sky for judgment And all you get is rain Searching every eye for prophecy And all I see is pain They say the forests full of rain Will never come again Businessmen want a road Through another big place CHORUS Poor bruised world Poor bruised world Poor bruised world Poor bruised world Poor bruised you Poor bruised me Poor bruised world I saw a picture of a pretty bird In a nature magazine Said these birds, now they're all gone Well that's really obscene Ah, the pictures never taken Of a future we never had I should've taken that one of you (That day in the park) and now I feel bad Lately I feel something dark Turning in this century A little something more Than my own pop history CHORUS "Birds, please" -------------------------------------------- @SONG: Animal Farm (Ray Davies) this world is big and wild and half insane Take me where the animals are playing It's a dirty old shack Where the hound dogs bark That we called our home I wanna be back there Among the cats and dogs And the pigs and the goats CHORUS On animal farm Animal home On animal farm Animal home While I lay my head upon pillow Little girl come play beneath my window Well she's far from home She is free from harm She need not fear She is by my side And the sky is wide So that the sun shines bright CHORUS Girl, it's a hard hard world If it gets you down Dreams often fade in time In a bad bad world I'll take you where real animals are playing And people are real people not just playing It's a quiet quiet life By a dirty old shack That we called our home I wanna be back there Among the cats and dogs And the pigs and the goats CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Saturday He dreams of being a matador Waving the cape Killing the killing machine A hero of the ring he drives his car His spirits soar his spirits soar He dreams of being a matador Waving the cape Killinng the killing machine A hero of the ring he drives his car His spirits soar his spirits soar CHORUS He hates his job He loves his girl He dreams his dream Futures unfurl The sun collides with night and hey He talks to his dog Watches the big game on Saturday And stepping into a local store He sees his girl from elementary school She'd show her pantis to the boys He smiles he's got the change he's got the change She's slipping into the lottery line He's waging war on planet Mercury her skirt is climbing, riding high He smiles 'cause nothing changes, nothing changes CHORUS He dreams of being a matador Waving the cape And killing the killing machine A hero of the ring he drives his car His spirits soar his spirits soar He dreams of being a matador Waving the cape And killing the killing machine A hero of the ring he drives his car He drives his car His spirits soar his spirits soar CHORUS --------------------------------------------- @SONG: Lullaby-Weren't We Wild Your crooked smile Your paisley kiss Your golden voice Your artifice Weren't we wild or maybe it was just That I was wild for you Molecules Beneath the gun You could turn out to be A monster by age 21 Weren't we wild or maybe it was just That I was wild for you No one knows where the innocence it goes Our futures are so few Blossoms black And breaking glass I close my eyes I see you pass Weren't we wild or maybe it was just That I was wild for you Weren't we wild or maybe it was just That I was wild for you The calendars Of consequence The biosphere The big immense Weren't we wild or maybe it was just That I was wild for you No one knows where the innocence it goes Our futures are so few Better than a month of sundays baby Sunnier than Mondays come I needed someone for the weekends Said "I need someone I need someone." In your house of plastic flowers You were living out there on Mall Road We'd watch the television Listen to rock opera on the radio CHORUS You were almost human Almost sane, you, almost human You wreck my brain You wreck my brain I was drinking too much then Said, "A vaction, that is what I need." You said, "There are no vacations for the haunted, C'mon babe, let's breed." and in your house of plastic flowers We were losing out there on Mall Road We'd watch television Listen to rock opera on the radio CHORUS Your crooked smile your paisley kiss your golden voice ------------------------------------------------------------- @SONG: When Things Get Slow Around Here You'd sit in my momma's kitchen And you'd pour your wine And I'd laugh til I thought I loved you With your eyes like coins With your eyes like coins and your renegade streak You'd tell your tales, tales I never believed Tales I now tell Wheen things get slow around here I'm breaking horses now Down on Hotchkissvalley Road You know, I've always been weak for the wild ones With their eyes like coins Somewhere between The leather and the hide The sickly sweet, the daily suicide, me Me I ride When things get slow around here The tales, tales I tell When things get slow around here ---------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ Eric Wincentsen 267@ef.gc.maricopa.edu Glendale Community College Glendale, Arizona "Welcome to Arizona...NOW GO HOME!" ---Popular bumper sticker
