Everything is going wrong, everything is bad

There's no one i can talk to when i am feeling sad
She broke my heart a million ways

I'm losing all my friends
G d7 g

I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today

I never should have left my home, never left the farm
But the city was exciting it couldn't do me any harm
The more folks i run across, the less i seem to know
The days go by too quickly the nights go by too slow.
Fill 'er up with love
Please won't you, mister?
Just the hi-test is what i used to say
But that was before i lost my baby
I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today

I cannot face another girl, i believe i'll turn to drink
So i won't remember, so i won't have to think
Tomorrow will bring happiness or, at least, another day
So i will bid farewell and i'll be on my way
Fill 'er up with love
Please won't you, mister?
Just the hi-test is what i used to say
But that was before i lost my baby
I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today

It was on an indiana farm in the middle of the country
D g f#m c#m esus4
Growin' in the fields of grain, jim dean of indiana

His mother died when he was a boy, his father was a stranger
Marcus winslow took him in, nobody seemed to want him
The hired man sang like a storm(?), sometimes he'd beat him
'cause he would never do the chores, he was lost in dreaming

He never seemed to find a play with the flatlands and the farmers
So he had to leave one day, he said to be an actor
Once he'd come back to the farm with starlets from the stages
They locked themselves inside his room, the people turned their faces

A neighbor ran from the movie house, chickens they were scattered
He swore he saw upon the screen, jim dean of indiana
He played a boy without a home, torn with no tomorrow
Reaching out to touch someone, a stranger in the shadow

The winslows left for the movie town, they drove across the country
They hoped that he would stay around and they hoped he would be friendly
He talked to them for half an hour but he was busy racing
He left for the grapevine road[1], they left for indiana

Then marcus heard on the radio that a movie star was dying
He turned the tuner way down low, so ortense could go on sleeping
It was not until they reached the farm where the hired man was waiting
The wind rushed silent through the grain, it was just as they had told him

They buried him just down the road, a mile from the farm house
That is where i placed a flower for jim dean of indiana.

Not since laurel and hardy
G
Have i laughed so hard i screamed

I thought that johnson was the devil
I thought we couldn't do no worse
Now the white house stands in disneyland
This country must be under a curse
Here's to nixon and agnew
They are the stars of the stage and screen
Not since laurel and hardy
Have i laughed so hard i screamed

I dreamed that nixon died of a suntan
There was only spiro left
At his swearing in, he fell on his chin
He assasinated himself.
Here's to nixon and agnew
They are the stars of the stage and screen
Not since laurel and hardy
Have i laughed so hard i screamed

Hello, hello, hello
C
Is there anybody home?

I've only called to say
C d
I'm sorry.

The drums are in the dawn,
G d
And all the voices gone.

And it seems that there are no more songs.

Once i knew a girl
She was a flower in a flame
I loved her as the sea sinks/sings(?) sadly
Now the ashes of the dream
Can be found in the magazines.
And it seems that there are no more songs.

Once i knew a sage
Who sang upon the stage
He told about the world,
His lover.
A ghost without a name,
Stands ragged in the rain.
And it seems that there are no more songs.

The rebels they were here
They came beside the door
They told me that the moon was bleeding
Then all to my suprise,
They took away my eyes.
And it seems that there are no more songs.

A (scar, star)?? is in the sky,
It's time to say goodbye.
A whale is on the beach,
He's dying.
A white flag in my hand,
And a white bone in the sand.
And it seems that there are no more songs.

Hello, hello, hello
Is there anybody home?
I've only called to say
I'm sorry.
The drums are in the dawn,
And all the voices gone.
And it seems that there are no more songs.

It seems that there are no more songs.
It seems that there are no more songs.

Went to a party the other night, everybody was there

Somebody tried to ruin it when he won a raffle prize,

Tried to shake and shock us right before our eyes.

Who was the fool throw the basket in the pool?

It was filled with the finest cheeses filled with imported wine,
Wish that i had won it, and i wish that it were mine
I know some wino lives outside of town
Hw would gladly cut your throat if he could drink it down
While we danced, while we were dancing
Who was the fool throw the basket in the pool?

If i had found out who he was, if i'd have found his face,
Next time we have a party gonna find out his name.
I've been on the ocean swimming know poroise led the way,
It wasn't worth the matter and it wasn't worth the pay.
We were there, go right on dancing
Who was the fool throw the basket in the pool?

How can i go swimming now my world is laid to waste?
It was the worst of manners and it was the worst of taste
Why can't we be left alone? think that it was a crime
If everyone was groovy we could all have a real good time.
We could dance, go right on dancing
Who was the fool throw the basket in the pool?
