Gmin7 F C
I taste her blood in my mouth She covers me with kisses
Gmin7 F C
We got the strangest kind of love I know her in the morning but never at night
Gmin7 F C
I love her when she’s gone There’s nothing final about saying goodbye
Gmin7 F C
That makes it safe with the distance there It’s a love of knowing someone too well
Cmin Bb Amin7 D7
like her curves and turns on the road
(riff) 2x
We’re alone together guitar #1
We’re stoned together Guitar #1
G G F D C Bb G roll
Come on the high dive we’ll dive to gether
G G F D … C Bb G roll
Come on the high dive we’ll make it in the water
Riff (Guitar #2 slide)
Come on the high dive we’ll dive together
Come on the high dive make it in the water
(swimming in the deep water baby)
Come lets do the high dive we’ll dive together
Come on the high dive make it in the water
Come on the high dive Swim in the deep blue sea
Make a little high dive we’ll dive together

All is Nothing
03:29
|
|||
The days pass on by
And there is no swift reply
To all of the prayers
Of children around the world
Please give us peace
Remember you once were small like us
Trusting our moms and dads
who made us from their perfect love
All is nothing - nothin’s the same
All is nothing – the children say
An hay yeagh yeagh yaeagh
The children all pray
The world don’t blow itself away
And the evil ones
Don’t take all of us away
Don’t break my heart
Don’t take my older brother to war
Could have known all they want to do
All is nothing ya
Nothing’s the same
All is nothing its just one big wave
All is nothing its just one big wave
All is nothing its just one big wave yeagh
And So it is so
Network TV tells us what’s real
We can believe everything we see all the time
Is it a lie? Is it the truth this time? I don’t know
Show me the pictures of the missiles aimed at me they say
All is nothing nothing’s the same
All is nothing its just one big wave……
All is nothing the children sing
And hey yeagh yeahg yeagh yeagh ya yeagh yeagh…..

She Dont Laugh
03:45
|
|||
She said she wanted to be a dancer
And dance her life away
She had enough of all the pain
She didn’t want any quick answers
She was tired of the know it all man
Wanted to have her own plan
One time too many for her
She’d run out of dreams
Sometimes id see her drunk and drinkin
And out of her mind in the clubs
She’s pretty and she’s crazy you see
You could say she was pretty, pretty crazy
She’d talk about the changes in the world
and she’d start to cry she does
tell me ist there anything
worse than seein an angel cry?
She don’t laugh
She don’t cry
She don’t laugh
And She don’t cry
She wanted to be an actress you see
And act out the last scene of every play
She never made it to the audition
She was sleepin it off from the night before you see
She drank away all the pain she had in her life
She never shared much you see
But I know she wasn’t so sad
She don’t laugh
She don’t cry
She don’t laugh
She don’t cry
She don’t laugh
And she don’t cry.

Eating Disorder
04:42
|
|||
She looked me in the eye and told me that id soon be dead from the food I was eating I looked at her, she was earnest and she said come home – I’ll feed you, and I followed
She served me fried doch in her living room, and I realized that Sparky was on the plate – my dog had turned into dinner with her.
Well I gave up everything for that girl, and I didn’t eat anything but fried dog and toefoo till I learned it was no good.
She made me join her cult of food eating and I I believed what she said: She said nothing
She got an eating disorder from her mom and dad, and now I have to live with everything she’s had, and I can’t stand it I think I need a cheeseburger……..
The next girl I met was a real vegetarian
didn’t eat anything that came from animals,
no butter no milk, and no cheese…
she said she hadn’t eaten red meat since her mom and dad had left her alone for a year without eating food at all
she wouldn’t eat any honey from a bee no drippings from a maple tree I guess life wasn’t very sweet but I said
she got an eating disorder from the things she sees
its major disorder from her life you see
nothing is like havin a beer and a pizza
oh no
I got an eating disorder from the women I’ve lived with
I’m tryin to undo all these bad things and get back to where I was long ago……
I was walkin around in a graveyard on a Sunday afternoon
She surprised me by saying something sweet
If you want to make your way to heaven
Don’t take more than you need we shall be judged by what we eat
Ive got an eating disorder from the women Ive known
Their eating habits turned out to be my own
Don’t take more than you need
Ive got an eating disorder from the women Ive known
Their eating habits turned out to be my own
Don’t take more than you need
Ive got an eating disorder from the women Ive known
Their eating habits turned out to be my own
Don’t take more than you need

Why We Live
00:54
|

I woke up in her living room again
Covered up in chains and lines
Things got out of control
I remember the candlelight
Her cat was really gettin crazy
That’s where the lights went out – goodnight
Sometimes I wonder why we live….

Dont Know Why
01:52
|
|||
I don’t know why I met you
Can’t say when the dream was through
The faces different
The end result seems just the same
We’re playin’ parts in a movie
We just play it again and again
Searchin for love
Is there - any time that you are free
from these - hang-ups that make you into what you are
Can you save yourself
from - repeating the same things we do?

Living in a Dream
04:52
|
|||
Give me back the ring
I know it’ll never work with you
Your jest too crazy you burn me out
I can’t conform to you - and all the things you do
Want me to be someone I’m not….
I just can’t do it baby
I thought it through so many times
I can never be your man
I really tried
And you know it never worked out right
I would do anything, but I’ve done it all
Cause you’re living in a dream
Cause you’re living in a dream
There’s no picket fence
There’s no house on the top of the hill….
And your dream of owing a sports car makes me puke
And everything you value like money,
and havin’ a cell phone plugged in your ear,
It”s all crap
Where’s the little boy and girl we knew
They were so In Love
and they made love for free
Nothing could - get in their way
Y’ told me what to do, and harped me about the way I looked
Changed the clothes I wore, and where I worked at the store…
Changed my friends and ya changed the things I did
Suddenly I turned around and found it wasn’t me anymore
So yer
you’re living in a dream
you’re living in a dream
I loved you once but I’m out the door
I just can’t take it any more
I’ll never be what you want me to be
I’m takin back that ring……
(guitar)
I wish you well
You’re living in a dream
You’re living in a dream
You’re living in a dream
You’re living in a dream

You’re in need of a fix and you’re goin’ down slow
Walkin' down the street tryin' to score some money gotta get your stuff
Momma never told you about how you could get a black aura
You’re in need of a fix
gotta get yourself some more (of) those kicks
well, you got to find yourself a little bit more of this everybody says:
Black Aura gonna kill you
Got to find yourself a little bit of fix
Got a tremblin’ in your body
Tell me is there some thing I can do
Are you goin down are you goin down
Black Aura
Over your head
Tell me stories of when you were not dead
Well, people often abandon you before they know your fabricated expenses down
You been tryin’ to tell me that you’re a junkie – well…..
Welcome to the club you gotta find
Friends all abandon you cause yer gone
yer gone…..
Gotta Black aura
people avoidin’ you
got a face that ‘ll look like death warmed over high
you been stayin’ up all night tryin’ to find the man on the telephone
it just that yer alone
you gotta black aura
no one gonna trust you
you gotta black aura
nobody trust you
they’ll tell you stories and then they’re gone
they’re gone away

from all the drugs you do
the pills you take
black aura
by by and by
well I never trusted anyone
and now I take your money
black aura
black aura
you’re dying
you’re dying
you’re dying
you’re dying tonight.

Never Ever
03:55
|

Tell me I’ll never ever have to grow old
Or that I’m grow’in cold
from these things that I fear
like voices I hear
That are telling me
in a soft spoken voice
that I’m older now
oh woman does it show?
Tell me they’ll never ever put me away
Where they dress me and feed me, and keep happy in the day
while I’m still awake
Then y’ come on Sunday
Bringin the flowers and the children
where have I been
and I’m so far away
Tell me I won’t be the last one around
all my friends are gone and I, I remember
things we said and did all the time are now gone
and I’m so far away

(vocal break)
(further guitar)
(vocal ooh to end)

Find Her Tonight
03:02
|
|||
I’ll find her tonight
where the sea meets the clouds
the edge o f the sky
in my dreams
she’ll look around and shell see
it is me
and I will take her hand and well walk
Through all the dreams we has
and we’ll be free
Ill find her tonight in my dreams
Where the sky meets the water’s edge
where the map runs out of the globe
an endless sky overhead in my mind
it’s all in her smile
in her eyes
where I see
the children are dancin’
and there’s no end to this
and I am just always say’in
You want to be free

All Times
05:05
|

She goes to work each day
sits at a desk alone………
she answers the phone when they call
and waits for her man……
she dreams of the romance,
that never would end
but never happen’d yet,
she waits for him each day………..
One day he comes through the door
and says “hello beautiful”
He comes in and talks only to her and says
”I love you so”
The romance that came from this
fulfilled her heart always
the man was so awesome
she married him the next day
Started a family
it coulda’ been the world….
And all these things that were so good….
(Chorus)
She often was kind to him
nd’ He brought her flowers
love was in the air all the time
until the day he left….
she certainly was so sad
and never felt so bad
but prince charming had left her
alone at the reception desk
(Chorus)
She cried a river of tears
never could be brought back to life
nothing would help her find
her prince charming again
He was never seen again,
He was gone………
(Chorus)
Gone was the man of her dreams
He left her with a child…
She works at her job every day,
an goes there with a smile on her face,
She knows that once again he’ll be there
saying “Hello loveley”
But this time she smiles an’ says
”hello there prince charming”
she knows better what love is for
and that’s what her child can say:
(chorus)
Love is for children and not for prince charming !
(chorus)

Each night you fall asleep,
and you dream of things that you never had
(and) never will attain,
All these unreal things……
are they your dreams?……..
Are they something that makes you crazy….
because you will never get them at all?
Well when you wake in the morning
get in your car and go to work
is it all so insane….
Can’t you get away from all these crazy things that they do?
Are you a member of this world?
And sometimes you think its different from what you see
you’ll finally be a realized person
and you’ll be free…
every time you try……
you end up cryin’
you end up cryin
because you lose your mind
you just can’t believe the things you do
And so you stay up all the night
Don’t tell me that the sun won’t rise
then you sleep when the sun is high…..
Its ok to ask questions
Yes it is!
- ask every question you can
try to get to the bottom
of all this stuff and figure out why…..
because if it doesn’t make sense to you
it doesn’t make sense to anyone else at all
Wake up just in time
to walk outside to see sun setting low in the sky
Just the beginning of another night……….

Mark Vee Chicago, Illinois
My dad repaired Black and white televisions and occasionally had amplifiers that had 6L6 power tubes. These turned into my first gigging amp. It was embarassing to have a junky open amp out there with a twelve inch TV speaker in a mahogany cabinet when the rich kids had Fender amps with Gibson guitars... ... more
