Ow!
Tenement lady, stone drug mama, street
hawk stone heart,
Mind that swiftly falls apart,
Sudden Sid groove lid, sharp as the dark
park, pickle pump peeper,
Mind that swiftly falls apart.
Count lurch hearse head, prince of the
snick snacks
Got a pierced ear mind fear, of the sailors with their perfume,
Molly mouse dream talk, gin house milk
shake,
She steals my magazines, she's a laser
lipped lover yeah!
Repeat 1st verse
Oh my darling there are many ways to,
love you
Underneath sheets of silk I slyly peep at you,
The giants and the dwarfs all call the
same, Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Oh my darling there are many ways to view
you,
To me your almost like a hammer and screw,
People on the street call
out your name,
The giants and the dwarfs all call the same, Oh yeah, oh yeah
oh.
Your mama said, "clean out your head
boy, don't lay nothing on my child"
Your friends they said, "Your heads in
a noose boy lay some boogie on our minds"
And we stood like the rapids and I was
like a new born child.
Your father said, "clean out your head boy,
go and kick cans along the street"
Your father said "clean out your toes rose
and go and lick some uncooked meat'
And we stood like the rapids and I was
like a new born child.
Your mama said, "my babe is not free son,
but I'm loose about midnight'
Your father said, "Your sisters a groove
boy, what I said it just ain't right"
But then I stood like the rapids and I was like a new born child.
Won't you tell me why?
Mister mister mister I'm just looking for
a change in my luck,
Mister mister mister I'm just looking for a change in my
luck,
Looking for a change. Baby baby baby I'm just looking with my eye
to the sky,
Baby baby baby I'm just looking with my
eye to the sky, With my eye to the sky.*
Looking, I'm gonna keep on looking babe
Keep on looking, I'm gonna keep on looking
babe, for a change.
Sister sister sister I'm just looking for
a change in my love,
Sister sister sister I'm just looking for
a change in my love, Looking for a change.
*Repeat
Looking, I'm gonna keep on looking babe,
Keep on looking, I'm gonna keep on looking
babe,
Looking I'm gonna keep on looking babe,
Keep on looking, I'm gonna keep on looking
babe,
Dee-dee bom bom, de-de bom bom, dee-dee bom bom

This is a song, that I wrote when I was
young,
And I call it, the broken hearted blues,
The air on that night, was
tempered like a knife,
And the people wore the face masks of a
clown,
Don he was long, misshapen and forlorn,
And his woman ran away without a smile.
Days of the earth, are unbroken changeless
turf,
But the faces of the men are something
else.
In the wind, as a boy, was a spacious sexual
toy,
But baby, now he's a toothless baggy man,
When the hills of the sun, make you feel that you are young,
Get good now, and face your face into the
wind.
This is a song, that I wrote when I was
young,
And I called it the broken hearted blues.
Oh baby, pretty baby, oh baby your my girl,
Oh baby, pretty baby, oh baby your my,
your my girl
If you know how to rock, you don't have

Take me down to the country honey,
Take me down to the country honey,
In a jeep that's sweet,
In a jeep that's neat,
Take me down to the country honey.
Take me down to the sea-side baby,
Take me down to the sea-side baby,
In a jeep that's neat,
In a jeep that's sweet,
Take me down to the country honey.
Electric Slim And The Factory Hen
On the street, people call you a foxy girl,
Me, I'm loose, like a golden goose, you

Steady on soldier, watch what your doing
to my girl,

Electric slim, and the factory hen man,

At dead of night, like a fiery kite, you've
been on my mind.
