LYRICS

Paul Bee and his Nutria

let me introduce me,
my name is jarod, otherwise known as paul bee.
i got something simple to say,
concernin ol' pals like me and nutri-hey!
we done stuck together,
threw any kinda wheather whether we were in a feather or not.
but no knot can sever, the special kind of bond that we've got goin' on.
we've been through all kinds a mountains, and i can proudly say that
we've climbed every one. alright,
so if you wanna stay with me, i guess you gotta cross that line.
trust in your ol' paul bee, and everything will be just fine! (we'll be just fine)
think about angelove, think about corazon,
it's time to find a friend, and restore a happy home!
la-la-la la la-la-la, la-la-la la la-la-la!
now i've introduced me,
my name is jarod and my name could also bee...
i got something simple to say,
concernin' ol' pals like me and nutri-hey!
we done stuck together,
through any kinda wheather whether we were in a feather or not.
but no know can sever, the special kind of bond that we've got goin' on.
we've been through all kinds a mountains, and i can proudly say that
we've climbed every one

Picnic Lady May

picnic lady may, what was that thing you said "i refuse you" on your lawn, simple reply but nay i'm gone,
oh why do you bother testing me can't you see through your clouded hazy lens

(chorus)
but when i'm on the hit and run don't sneak up behind me, give me a head start isn't that smart of me
big ballou's blue bottomed boat how many think it will float? how many think it won't ?

picnic lady, say, isn't it a pretty day i renewed this old love song to remind me that your'e gone oh why won't you come and sail to sea, with me or you'll cloud my day again
(repeat chorus)

Renee Bobotics

renee bobotics you love, politics and clothes.
renew old aquaintances and be at the top of your mark.
i know your handsome at the things that,
you work so hard for, oh
oh, renee! you're working at things for nothing,
i believe, its nothing but frivolous gain.
oh renee! what am i s'pposed to say?
your party was a parade,
oh it was, but where is that thrill now?
renee's got money in so much plenty, she'd die for.
renee won't wanna give her only daughter to a,
a frumpy shy one, first impression was a,
the last one that's all.

Green Grass

where did we go?
was it where you wanted to?
how could i hurt you?
was it me or my feeling below?
when i addressed this i wish that you could say
babe, your'e not perfect, but whose perfect anyway?

let the green grass grow let the birds fly where they want to
let the water flow let it cover what we don't want to find

down in the dusty wind i drew my gun again
the bullets came and went and hit me as i ran
i'd say its pleasing but i'm teasing just for fun
babe, your'e not perfect but wer'e working on that one...

let the green grass grow let the birds fly where they want to
let the water flow let it cover what we don't want to find

The Tide

i tore down my anger while turning aside
i looked in the window to see where she hides in the dark and lonely secret room
i left all my happiness in the lagoon and watched as she left me and travelled thru dunes in the dark and lovely

(chorus) layer where her angel eyes
meant everything to me even if every part of her leaves
boys will be boys, will be boys (3 times)

the floor held the anchor while i turned the tide
and looked thru the foam in yer ocean of pride that surrounds me
somewhere dark, at night
then finally you surfaced from the ocean floor and floated above me
and swam out the door of the dark and lovely ...
(repeat chorus)

Personalized

i rode alone with you,
and took you on the road today,
and told you what was wrong.
then i came upon that space,
saw everything surrounded by,
another place you wanna go,
but i only want you to know....you're safe.
well you know i don't like being personalized.
everybody's always askin' me when they should know,
you know, they know, they know.
i dropped you off in town,
and let you out, but it was loud,
and so you climbed back in.
but if you're here to stay,
just know that there's another world, inside my head,
that i don't want you to know.

Enslavement

i sat around to think about the words that someone spoke when i was thinking
to get me off my mind of thinking hard about the stress of someone speaking
the stretch the look that gave my hands blue veins the spider bite that wrote our next refrain

(chorus) dixie trumpets blowin pale learn about the way its spelled you may find it rhymes.
enslavement. thats the word. on the pavement, so i've heard enslavement,
thats whats you are, but you never really get too far, and boundaries are lines
and you've crossed them many times, but your'e bound on either side.

i sat upon the rock and struck the block that held the clock that i was climbing
to stop the worldy rush and find the bus that reaches to the silver lining
the stress that took the blood out of my veins the lying book that wrote us into chains.
(repeat chorus)

No Tears

as I went walkin' the other day, i saw another upon my way
as i looked up, i saw a sight, the morning after they took my life
(chorus)
1000 evil 100 good they drew a mark and i made a choice and then i broke the law.
100 years i played a fool's song i gave no tears
as i was dreamin' the other night i saw my old life
a' pass me by a fiddle chimed in a perfect waltz a burnin' flame of unburied wants
(repeat chorus)

Younger, Elder Thoughts Pt. I

All i want to do is lay down in the snow and drift inside a dream the snow is always clean,
but if i want to change, i'll change and verily i'd fly away from me and anchor in the sea, next to thee
(chorus)
I'm somewhere shinin' wer'e mountain climbin on a rocky cloud called bell lagoon oohh
I'm older now returned i've many things i've learned and one thing now seems clear as i look in the mirror... oh
(repeat chorus)

Younger, Elder Thoughts Pt. II

do you ever find yourself hanging on the wall
with those funny faces that don't bother you at all but when you were small
they did, when you were a kid

(chorus) pride can only tame what there is to build the frame ohoh
you shine, your face is hanging down, it's all that you amount to

do you ever find yourself jealous of a ring held on pretty fingers that don't really mean a thing but when you were old you could sing
when you were a king
(repeat chorus)
