When I was a youngster. Playing house was all the rage. And I always played the mommy. And they all thought it was just a stage. But as I grew older. Still I wished to be a lady.
(Originally titled "Getting Past the Anger," this song was begun. 10 years ago, but never sung... until the anger faded. An. attempt to close the generation gap.).

She's like the river that runs so deep. Mournful in mornings and cries in her sleep.. I've tried to pull us up both on dry ground,. but her sorrow's a swift current that drags us both down..
Hey, uh, huh, huh. Hey, uh, huh, huh. . What I like about you. You hold me tight. Tell me I'm the only one. Wanna come over tonight, yeah. . Keep on whispering in my ear.
You say we're all the same. You don't even know my name.. Sometime somewhere someone wants hurt you and I'm one of them. You think you know about me... You don't know a damn thing about me!.
I take a look around me and it makes me mad. Another friend of mine in rehab. Try to pull himself from a plastic bag. Says he got himself out just in time.
What's hard to an alien man?. Well you never know what's real. Just a card in someones deck. You get dealt and that's the deal. . What's the matter, man?.

I've got a wantless need. I've got a thoughtless mind. I've got a heart that hates. I've got a wantless want. I can't unwind. I've got hands that like to break.
When no one will listen and time won't wait. When you see yourself and see the one that you hate. When the night lasts forever and time stands still. When you see yourself and want to kill.
Walkin' alone down Sunset Boulevard. Feelin' lonely, feelin' mean, feelin' hard. Passing cars movin soft to scar my mind. Hot night street light pressin down burning my eyes.

nighttime comes to meet me. shadows call my name. my face is lit. by streetlight glow. . one world on the outside. a million worlds within. the stars stare down.
(CHORUS). Best in the game it was bate we was gonna be here. (eee eee eee eee eee). roll deep is the name and were up for awards all year. (eee eee eee eee eee).
You gotta have a Work Song. A song to help you make it Through the day.. You gotta have a Work Song. A song we can sing along while we work and pray..
I work five days a week at the liquor store.. Stocking the shelves and sweeping the floor.. On Friday night when I get paid I like to hit the road.. To a little place called feelin' good..
My baby is a working girl yes she's a working girl. And there is none sweeter in the whole wide world. Than my sweet little working girl. She's a early rising tantalising I have to have her in by ten.
I live in the midst of a strawberry field. I pick the strawberries and hand some to you. And if the fruit doesn't suit you I'll hand you some flowers.
