1. _ Home
I woke up this morning
And now I understand
What it means to give your love
To just one man
Afraid of feeling nothing
No bees or butterflies
My head is full of voices
And my house is full of lies
[Chorus]
This is home, home
And this is home, home
This is home
I found you standing there
When I was seventeen
Now I'm thirty-two
And I can't remember what I'd seen in you
And, I made a promise
Said it everyday
Now I'm reading romance novels
And dreaming of yesterday
This is home, home
And this is home
And this is home
This is home
I'd like to see the Riviera
And slow dance underneath the stars
I'd like to watch the sun come up
In a stranger's arms
[Chorus]
I'm going crazy
A little everyday
And everything I wanted
Is now driving me away
I woke this morning
To the sound of breaking hearts
Mine is full of questions
And it's tearing yours apart.

2. _ Mississippi

3. _ Riverwide
I spent a year in the mouth of a whale with a flame and a book of signs
You'll never know how hard I've failed trying to make up for lost time
Once I believed in things unseen I was blinded by the dark
Out of the multitude to me he came and broke my heart
When the dust in the fields has flown
And the youngest of hearts has grown
And you doubt you will ever be free
Honey don't bail on me
River is wide and oh so deep and it winds and winds around
I dream we're happy in my sleep, floating down and down and down
And the tide rushes by where we stand
And the earth underneath turns to sand
And we're waiting for someone to see
Honey, don't bail on me
Tell Ma I loved a man even though I turned and ran
Lovely and fine, I could've been, laying down in the palm of his hand
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Laying down in the palm of his hand
Staying down in the palm of his hand
In the morning you wait for the sun
And secretly hope it won't come
But time washes everything clean
Honey, now don't bail on me
Don't bail on me
No, don't bail on me
Ooh?

4. _ Love Is a Good Thing
Watch out sister watch out brother
Watch our children while they kill each other
With a gun they bought at Walmart discount stores
Welcome to the hallway metal detector just been installed...hey
Isn't cops and robbers gettin' to be a big bore
Mary Mary quite contrary close the door now it's much too scary
And you might see something you wish you hadn't seen
Out of sight out of time out of patience, and I'm out of my mind
Governor, tell me what does it mean
Dance children, dance to the beat,
Want to be a hippy cause life was so sweet
Good-morning hate
Dance children, dance to the beat,
Want to rock and roll up and down the street,
I've got a message
Love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
Politicians on a mission, build them up, bring them down
For the good of the "system",
Well we don't like the way you live your life
I got one thing I must express, we try our criminals in the press
Justice is a fading light
Mary, Mary quite contrary, close the door now, it's much too scary
And you might see something you wish you hadn't seen
Out of sight, out of time, out of patience, and I'm out of my mind
Governor, tell me what does it mean
Dance children, dance to the beat,
Want to be a hippy cause life was so sweet
Good-morning hate
Dance children, dance to the beat,
Want to rock and roll up and down the street,
I've got a message
Love is a good thing
Love is a good thing
Love is a good thing

5. _ Sad Sad World
I know you hate me,
I see that now.
If I was unhappy,
I'd be someone you could still care about.
I think its stupid and sad
That everything turned out so bad,
And enemies make the most interesting friends.
I'm gonna write you a long letter,
I'm gonna get you on the telephone.
Three little words to make it all better.
Maybe I'll leave this,
Whole thing alone
[Chorus]
Oh....it's a sad sad world
Without you in it,
And I'm a bad bad girl
For letting you down
And I remember every crazy minute
Oh....it's a sad sad world, without you around
Were too much alike for our own good
We both hate fighting no matter how misunderstood.
I want to tell you that your stubborn,
I want to tell you I never lied.
I want to tell you that your friends talk to way too much,
And I want to know what happened to that friend of mine?
[Chorus]
Oh....it's a sad sad world without you in it
And I'm a bad bad girl
For letting you down
I remember every crazy minute
Oh...its a sad sad world without you in it
[Chorus]
Oh....it's a sad sad world without you in it
And I'm a bad bad girl for letting you down
I remember every fucked up minute
Oh..its a sad sad world without you around.

6. _ Oh Marie
Here she comes she's all dressed up in daisies
Half the time you'd swear that she is crazy
Flowered drinks and a low cut dress
That's the way I know her best
She says she's lonely how could she be?
Every night she's got company
Oh Marie
I sure hope you're happy
Oh Marie
What about me Marie
She likes the way she looks in her Camaro
She likes lingerie but he prefers the sombrero
She's so famous on the block
She stumbles home around four o'clock
She claims the guys are hard to please
She wears teen perfume behind her knees
Oh Marie,
I sure hope you're happy
Oh Marie,
What about me, Marie
All day long she fills me up with dogma
She's all magazines and benzedrine and vodka
There was one man she truly loved
He took everything but her bear-skin rug
And now and then it's clear to me
That need is love and love is need
Oh Marie,
I sure hope you're happy
Oh Marie,
What about me, Marie
Oh Marie,
What are you looking for
Oh Marie,
Always an open door
What are you looking for

7. _ I Shall Believe
Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believe
I'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe
Open the door
And show me your face tonight
I know it's true
No one heals me like you
And you hold the key
Never again
Would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe
And I shall believe
that not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
And I shall believe
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe
I shall believe

8. _ Strong Enough
God I feel like hell tonight
The tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man
My man
Nothing's true, and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
'Cause you can't change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man
Lie to me, I promise I'll believe
Lie to me, but please don't leave
I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
Just try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man
Are you strong enough to be my man
Are you strong enough
My man
When I've shown you
That I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand
Would you be man enough to be my man
Lie to me, I promise I'll believe
Lie to me, but please don't leave

9. _ My Favourite Mistake
I woke up and called this morning
The tone of your voice was a warning
That you don't care for me anymore
I made up the bed we sleep in
I looked at the clock when you creep in
It's six AM and I'm alone
Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending
To the bad day I was just beginning
When you go all I know is you're my favorite mistake
Your friends act sorry for me
They watch you pretend to adore me
But I'm no fool to this game
Now here comes your secret lover
She'll be unlike any other
Until your guilt goes up in flames.
Did you know when you go it's the perfect ending
To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending
When you go all I know is you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
Well maybe nothing lasts forever
Even when you stay together
I don't need forever after, but it's your laughter won't let me go
So I'm holding on this way
Did you know could you tell you were the only one
That I ever loved?
Now everything's so wrong
Did you see me walking by, did it ever make you cry?
Now you're my favorite mistake
Yeah you're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake

10. _ No One Said It Would Be Easy
It's obvious the trouble we're in
When your father pulls up in a Mercedes Benz
He says he just happened to be in the neighborhood
But before he leaves he slips the landlord the rent
You say "It's just a question of eliminating obstacles"
As you throw your dinner out the kitchen door
You say "I know how you try"
But honey let's eat out tonight
[Chorus]
No one said it would be easy
But no one said it'd be this hard
No one said it would be easy
No one thought we'd come this far
You can't seem to ever fold up a shirt
I bring it up and you think I'm a jerk
But I think we're here to stay
I can't imagine it any other way
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder who he's picturing
When he looks at me and smiles
No one said it would be easy
No one said it'd be this hard
No one said it would be easy
No one thought we'd come this far
Oh, and look we've come this far

11. _ Ordinary Morning
I left a man
Asleep in the nude
Name in my pocket
With lipstick and rouge
Everything I ever wanted what a lovely pie you've baked is anybody listening?
Don't painted bird never flys away
It's just an ordinary morning
It's just an ordinary day
And I'm just an ordinary woman
Slipping away
The walls have been talking
About me again
I'm good for a joke but when I awoke
The dream didn't end
Now everytime I turn around I'm only sleeping, John is anybody out there?
Don't the wounded birds still sing
It's just an ordinary morning
It's just an ordinary day
And I'm just an ordinary woman
Slipping away

12. _ Leaving Las Vegas
Life springs eternal
On a gaudy neon street
Not that I care at all
I spent the best part of my losing streak
In an Army Jeep
For what I can't recall
Oh I'm banging on my TV set
And I check the odds
And I place my bet
I pour a drink
And I pull the blind
And I wonder what I'll find
I'm leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good
Used to be I could drive
Up to Barstow for the night
Find some crossroad trucker
To demonstrate his might
But these days it seems
Nowhere is far enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today
I'm leaving Las Vegas
Oh, lights so bright
Blackjack on a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good, for good
I'm standing in the middle of the desert
Waiting for my ship to come in
But now no joker, no jack, no king
Can take this loser hand
And make it win
I'm leaving Las Vegas
Oh, I'm leaving Las Vegas
For good, for good
Leaving Las Vegas
I quit my job as a dancer
At the Lido des Girls
And we're dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddy line between
The things you want
And the things you have to do
Oh, leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good
Oh, I'm leaving Las Vegas
And the lights so bright
Palm sweat blackjack
On a Saturday night
I'm leaving Las Vegas
I'm leaving for good, for good
Oh, I'm leaving Las Vegas
And the lights so bright
Leaving Las Vegas
And I won't be back
No, no
No, I won't be back
Not this time

13. _ Redemption Day
I've wept for those who suffer long
But how I weep for those who've gone
Into rooms of grief and questioned wrong
But keep on killing
It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh what mercy sadness brings
If God be willing
There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate to heaven's gate
And on the way child and man
And woman wait watch and wait
For redemption day
Fire rages in the streets
And swallow everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On television
Come leaders, come you men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening
What do you have for us today
Throw us a bone but save the plate
Oh why we waited til so late
Was there no oil to excavate
No riches in trade for the fate
Of every person who died in hate
Throw us a bone, you men of great
There is a train that's heading straight
To heaven's gate, to heaven's gate
And on the way, child and man
And woman wait, watch and wait
For redemption day
It's buried in the countryside
It's exploding in the shells of night
It's everywhere a baby cries
Freedom

14. _ Hard to Make a Stand [Alternate Version]
Old James Dean Monroe,
Hands out flowers at the Shop-N-Go,
Hopes for money but all he gets is fear.
And the wind blows up his coat,
And this he scribbles on a perfume note,
"If I'm not here, then you're not here."
And he says,
"Call me Miscreation,
I'm a walking celebration."
And it's hard to make a stand,
And it's hard to make a stand,
Yeah, It's hard to make a stand
My friend, O' Lawdy,
Went to take care of her body,
And she got shot down in the road.
She looked up before she went,
Said, "This isn't really what I meant."
And the Daily News said, 'Two with one stone'
And I say,
"Hey there, Miscreation,
Bring a flower, time is wasting."
And it's hard to make a stand.
And it's hard to make a stand.
Yeah, It's hard to make a stand.
Yeah, It's hard to make a stand.
Yes it is.
We got loud guitars and big suspicions,
Great big guns and small ambitions,
And we still argue over who is God.
And I say,
"Hey there, Miscreation,
Bring a flower, time is wasting."
I say,
"Hey there, Miscreation,
We all need a celebration."
And it's hard to make a stand,
And it's hard to make a stand,
Oh, It's hard to make a stand
Yeah, it's hard to make a stand,
I think it's hard to make a stand,

15. _ Anything But Down
I light your cigarettes
I bring you apples from the vine
How quickly you forget
I run the bath and pour the wine
I bring you everything that floats into your mind
You don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
You don't bring me anything but down
When you come 'round
You are a raging sea
I pull myself out everyday
I plead insanity
'Cause I can't leave but I can't stay
You say, "Won't you come find me" and "Yes" is what I say
But you don't bring me anything but down
No, you don't bring me anything but down
Everything is crashing to the ground
Maybe I'm not your perfect kind
Maybe I'm not what you had in mind
Maybe we're just killing time
You with your silky words
And your eyes of green and blue
You with your steel beliefs
That don't match anything you do
It was so much easier before you became you
Now you don't bring me anything but down
No, you don't bring me anything but down
Everything just crashes to the ground
When you come around, when you come around
No more playing seek and hide
No more long and wasted nights
Can't you make it easy on yourself
I know you wish you were strong
You wish you were never wrong
Well, I got some wishes of my own
