Lyrics for Victor’s a Dictionary.

VERSE

Victor’s a dictionary
Look up any word
He hates to be interrupted
He needs to be heard
My friend, it’s then, you comprehend

CHORUS

He’s living inside an opera
The rules they tell him what’s wrong from right
He’s quick to do a favor for you
Sydney’s Warm tonight

VERSE

Often wish so hard that he had
Brought his prescription pad
My case of advanced glaucoma
Would get real bad
My friend, it’s then, you comprehend

He’s living inside an opera
The rules they tell him what’s wrong from right
He’s quick to do a favor for you
Sydney’s Warm tonight

VERSE

That dish at the Straits Cafe
What was it called
It beat that jelly grass drink
We were appalled
My friend, it’s then, you comprehend

CHORUS

He’s living inside an opera
The rules they tell him what’s wrong from right
He’s quick to do a favor for you
Sydney’s Warm tonight

He’s living inside an opera
The rules they tell him what’s wrong from right
He’s quick to do a favor for you
Sydney’s Warm tonight

Lyrics — Private Island

Lyrics for Private Island.

VERSE

Look in the mirror at myself, I can make it another day
Feeling for heartbeats and my health, and my trip’s still got a ways
To go to get there intact
Where will I end up in fact
My suitcase has always been packed
For the moment when I would go there

CHORUS
I’ll take you with me when I go
My private island told me so
Please trust me here, cause I should know

VERSE

Drawing the maps and diagrams, when I’m bored throughout the day
Where will I sleep and eat and read, and I’ll need a place to stay
When I go all in good time
The water’s warm and sublime
My suitcase has always been primed
For the moment when I would go there

CHORUS

I’ll take you with me when I go
My private island told me so
Please trust me here, cause I should know

BRIDGE

And if I walked into your room
Tickets in hand, our flight leaves soon
And if I said it’s time to go
You told me before so I should know

VERSE

Pack my CDs or take some food, and it doesn’t matter now
Not to just be a trusting fool, it’ll work itself out, how
I don’t know when but it’s clear
Each day the clock shows it’s near
My suitcase has always been here
For the moment when I would go there

CHORUS

I’ll take you with me when I go
My private island told me so
Please trust me here, cause I should know

I’ll take you with me when I go
My private island told me so
Please trust me here, cause I should know

Lyrics — Terry (the Probably Drunk and Definitely Angry Stewardess)

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Lyrics for Terry (the Probably Drunk and Definitely Angry Stewardess)

I’d like a seltzer with some ice
And a wedge of lime would sure be nice
And the can if you can
Cause I know I’ll soon want some more

It’s either this or the cranapple mix
Which I usually get as my flight time fix
But today it is seltzer and lime
That I’d really like please

CHORUS

I think I’ve upset you
Maybe it’s me but you’re yelling
You woke up the baby
What’s that on your breath that I’m smelling

I’m sorry that I asked for the can
And I can see that you’re not a fan
Of working here

I know that it’s sexist and shallow too
That said I could swear that it used to be true
That the stewardesses were so young
And quite pretty as well

It’s not that I mind if that’s not you
I’m sure you’re attractive in your own way too
You just seem so pissed off
And I can’t stop from wondering why

CHORUS

I think I’ve upset you
Maybe it’s me but you’re yelling
You woke up the baby
What’s that on your breath that I’m smelling

I’m sorry that I asked for the can
And I can see that you’re not a fan
Of working here

BRIDGE

The guy with the broken headphones
The lady trying to pass your cart
You knocked into that kid’s elbow
None of them can melt your heart

VERSE

You’re working the cart and your partner’s scared
I think she is dreading the flights where you’re paired
Though It’s so hard to tell as she grins
Just a little too much

It seems like you may be slurring your words
Could it be at the bar that you ordered thirds
When you’re swearing out loud
It just seems like you may be off

CHORUS

I think I’ve upset you
Maybe it’s me but you’re yelling
You woke up the baby
What’s that on your breath that I’m smelling

I’m sorry that I asked for the can
And that your life wasn’t according to plan
And I can see that you’re not a fan
Of working here

Lyrics — Rule 34

Lyrics for Rule 34.

VERSE

There’s a dragon all alone with nothing but time
No matter how hard he tries, the concept enters his mind
Way deep down he knows, that he can never go back
He’s in love with a late model Pontiac

CHORUS

It’s a different kind of love between man and machine
Well he’s not quite a man, but you know what I mean
And if there’s a place to go
Where these lovers can just be
And love whatever they can love
Please don’t forget me

VERSE

Don’t be judgy and rude just cause it’s not your thing
I see true dragon-auto love, and it makes me sing
If you knew a dragon in this condition, he’d be
Out cruising bars for a sexy transmission

CHORUS

It’s a different kind of love between man and machine
Well he’s not quite a man, but you know what I mean
And if there’s a place to go
Where these lovers can just be
And love whatever they can love
Please don’t forget me

VERSE

Even in the best case, not every love’s a sure bet
Especially when, he sees that gorgeous corvette
Just like you and me a dragon follows his heart
Always looking for love and that special jump start

CHORUS

It’s a different kind of love between man and machine
Well he’s not quite a man, i think you know what I mean
And if there’s a place to go
Where these lovers can just be
And love whatever they can love
Please don’t forget me

And if there’s a place to go
Where these lovers can be free
And do whatever they call love
Please don’t forget me

Lyrics — Let’s Sneak Off

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Lyrics for Let’s Sneak Off.

VERSE

I had an idea, and I told you on the spot
I was half joking, you were half not
Things are so busy in our complicated lives
I thought it might help if we had some additional wives

Ingrid moved in and things had gotten better
She loved to watch the kids
I didn’t think she wanted ones of her own, but
Surprise, surprise, she did

CHORUS

Let’s sneak off my wife #1
Leave everyone else at home
Even though our lives have gotten better
I really want some time alone

VERSE

With all the new kids it was like managing a herd
It seemed to make sense, so we got ourselves a third
But with so many people the house fell into disrepair
Your new suggestion, a second husband would only be fair

Lars moved in and it felt kind of funny
You also had another spouse
I warmed up when I saw how handy
Lars was around the house

CHORUS

Let’s sneak off my wife #1
Leave everyone else at home
Even though our lives have gotten better
I really want some time alone

VERSE

It seemed so simple, now it’s gotten quite complex
The line for the bathroom, stretches up and down the steps
I’m having trouble remembering all the new kids’ names
I may be mistaken, aren’t there three boys all named Shane

Somewhere between wife 27
And husband number 39
It took me a week to finally track you down
And remind you that you’re still mine

CHORUS

Let’s sneak off my wife #1
Leave everyone else at home
Even though our lives have gotten better
I really want some time alone
