Hey record man
What's your plan?
What've you got for me?
Hey record man
Yes I am interested indeed
In treasures that you bring to me, from all far away
Hey record man, what've you got today?
This old town just brings me down
Nothing seems worthwhile
TV shows and movies blow
Nothing makes me smile
Until every Sunday morning
To the swap meet I shall stray
Hey record man, what've you got today?
Hey record man
What's your plan?
What've you got for me?
Hey record man
Yes I am interested indeed
In treasures that you bring to me, from all far away
Hey record man, what've you got today?
Dusty fingers, dusty grooves
Memphis sounds and more
Bachelor pads, 60s fads
Teach me how to score
Spend the whole day sifting
For all those things I crave
Hey record man, give me deal today
Gatefolds, 45s, pictures sleeves or not
I don't care if the record skips 'cause the cover girl is so hot
Music for your every mood
Now every mood is good
Come along with me
Come along with me, you know you should
Hey record man
What's your plan?
What've you got for me?
Hey record man
Yes I am interested indeed
In treasures that you bring to me, from all far away
Hey record man, what've you got today?
Give me deal!
Send some jams my way!

Vice President Of Love

In the event of something happening to your man
If he steps down or if you need a hand
I'm standing by, and I have a plan
To be the Vice President Of Your Love
If he's detained or if he's running late
Should cancel when you've got a date
Just sit tight, I'll be on my way
To be the Vice President Of Your Love
If he skips town or if he goes on leave
I'm ready for the responsibility
When duty calls, you can call on me
To be the Vice President Of Your Love
Now he's gone and I am your bitch
I'm here to scratch you when you've got an itch
But if I bail, I know who'll have a pitch
To be the Vice President Of Your Love

When She Writes Her Book
03:43

When she writes her book
I'll be a little concerned about some incidents
And the photographs we took, oh well
We had such a spell
Pillars of knowledge and common sense would all go straight to hell
Kiss and tell
Blinding tiny lights
Movie sets and private jets
And the days were mostly nights, not quite right
Rehab crash and burns
Lawyers, pills and doctor's bills and tabloids took their turn
Live and learn
And trembling I turn the page
Recalling it all in a haze
It's like reading about someone else
Hey, Camelia
How did you end up this way
Hey, Camelia
So sorry you're so sad
Hate to see you
Washed up and fading away
Hey, Camelia
It'll come back to you

Paint yourself green and wear something scanty
And we'll make out to the sounds of sea shanties
My marching band only plays "Smoke On The Water"
I'll be on bass and you can be Neptune's Daughter
Meet me on the F Train platform
I'll be wearing sea foam green
From Luna, to Luna Park
Let's investigate this spark
And embark on a journey to the sea
The carousel it greets us, in 3/4 time
The thunderbolt takes us for a spin
Don't you wanna ride on the Cyclone with me?
Paint yourself green and wear something scanty
And we'll make out to the sounds of sea shanties
The screams of the Cyclone a sweet symphony
Photo booths, bumper cars, sideshows and you're here with me
The pirate ship it sway us ever skyward
The jet trail makes a heart shape in the air
Rain we don't mind, 'cause you sure look fine
Voila, le coup de foudre, ma che´re
On the Wonder Wheel I wonder
Is it time to make a move?
I could truly die, 'cause I'm so high in the sky with you!
Paint yourself green and wear something scanty
And we'll make out to the sounds of sea shanties
My marching band only plays "Smoke On The Water"
I'll be on bass and you can be Neptune's Daughter

Morning Drool
05:26

Great!
I stayed at the party just a bit too late
And my head it hits the pillow like dead weight
Lying in my bed the city night's so hot
And the volume of the street went up one notch
Wow!
Looking 'round the bar I see beauty abounds
I can hardly keep my tongue off of the ground
With a lucky star something could come my way
And the way you look at me says it could change
Cool!
You don't mind if I act like a total fool
When I'm wide awake or steeped in morning drool
In my place with all my stuff you look so nice
And I'm hoping that you'll spend with me some time
Neat!
I can almost feel your presence in my feet
When I'm in my house or walking down the street
Something like a magnet draws me to your place
It's a crosstown sidewalk sidestep zig zag race

Wishful drinking in a drought
East 7th & Away
Downtown Danny in the house
Wielding pints and holding court
Was it my imagination?
Did she just smile at me?
Tonight's the night to give thanks
For fleeting moments like these
Was this attraction distraction or magic?
Passing fancy, me
I'm nostalgic for the present
I'm not thinking about the past
I don't know about the future
But I hope this feeling lasts
There in the reading room
At 42nd & 5th
She's describing details
Searching for a destination
Objectivity
She has found an inspiration
And passed it on to me
And the words are just fine, like violas
Now etched in memory
I'm nostalgic for the present
I'm not thinking about the past
I don't know about the future
But I hope this feeling lasts
Was this inaction distraction or tragic?
Fancy passing me
I'm nostalgic for her presence
And the not too distance past
And what happened to the future?
How could that moment last?
I'm nostalgic for the present
I'm not thinking about the past
I don't know about the future
But I hope this feeling lasts

Turn out the lights, don't make a fuss
A million naked stories in the city and none of them are us
Our drama has unfolded, unraveled, we're no longer entwined
And I lie awake, I'm waiting for your alibi
And you lied
And you lied
Take careful steps, be wary of land mines
In this negative land of our home
How could love survive
From soul mate to room mate in broken record time
And then I awaken to the sound of your goodbye
And you lied
And you lied
Sever the ties, won't savor this taste
A million memories scattered on the floor
The house is now a maze
Our story is concluded, refuted, there's no more parts to try
As you drive away, you slowly wave your last goodbye
And you lied
Why'd you have to lie?

Missed Moment
04:00

Oh, sweet and sights and sounds
My head is spinning thoughts are racing around
What will become of me if she would even take a look at me?
Wandering eyes catch a hint of a glance
Some dribble runs down the edge of the glass
A halo flickers and it starts to fade
I'm counting down to some kind of mistake
Tell me the truth or tell me some lies
Say it's forever or maybe just for tonight
Please at this moment of sink or swim
I'm drowning in your tease
We're so close, so close
And yet miles away
Always just out of reach
Can't you see that it could be some sweet something
I'm a boy, I'm a man but I'm not eighteen
When will I ever tire of this scene
I love this game, I hate this game
A million years go by and it's still the same

Dear Pencil Pal, I've got to tell you
Of someone who's on my mind
I see her most everywhere I go
And I think of her all time
At the pool or at the park, or at the checkout stand
I sit and worship her from afar and I wish I could be her man
Gotta shake up some action sometime
And it's gotta be soon
Think I'll go introduce myself
Or just flap my arms and fly to the moon
Have you seen the Pretty Little Red Haired Girl?
Do you believe that she'd really be a part of my world
I know I'm gonna see her today
There's not a single word I can say
What if she just turns and walks away?
I hope the doctor's in today
There's a nickel for my thoughts
I need to work this problem out
Gotta have her at any cost
I've had such a losing streak
I don't even know who I am
Yes, "Good Ol' Charlie" has got the blues
And nobody gives a damn!
Have you seen the Pretty Little Red Haired Girl?
Do you believe that she'd really be a part of my world
I know I'm gonna see her today
There's not a single word I can say
What if she just turns and walks away?
If I were something and she were nothing, then I could talk to her
Or if I were something and she were something, then we could share some words
Or if I were nothing and she were nothing, then we could hang alright
But she's something and I'm nothing, so I just turn out the light
Have you seen the Pretty Little Red Haired Girl?
Do you believe that she'd really be a part of my world
I know I'm gonna see her today
There's not a single word I can say
What if she just turns and walks away?

At the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Nobody knew my name
But I paid for my ticket and they let me in just the same
And in these hollow (hallowed?) halls
Like a superstar shopping mall
There was an animatronic rock and roll festival
Can we please just take it all back?
Once upon a time it was real
Somehow it all got all got on the wrong track
And nobody knows what to feel
At the New York, New York Hotel and Casino
Lost my shirt, crapped out a Keno
Shouldn't have taken that left at Reno
And the faux East Village is better than the real East Village
Because the real East Village has gotten so "faux"
Can we please just take it all back?
Once upon a time it was real
Somehow it all got all got on the wrong track
And nobody knows what to feel
At the former site Peepland
There's a cartoon wonderland
Can we please just take it all back?
Once upon a time it was real
Somehow it all got all got on the wrong track
And nobody knows what to feel
