"Shorty's Ark" lyrics
Matt Sweeney & Bonnie "Prince" Billy Lyrics
"Shorty's Ark"
I wanna save the animals before it starts to rain
I wanna sing them two by two, I want their kids to know their names
Lions, serpents, eagles, and cows
Skunks and rats and spiders, the wolverine and mouse
Giant squids and honey bears, moles in the ground
Killer whales, pocket wolves, rhinoceros, and hound
When the rains come, we'll be there to sing them in the sky
Make constellations with our song, together you and I
They'll remind us of eternity so they won't have to die
They fill our dreams with savage schemes, we'll join them by and by
Humpback whales, crocodiles, goldfish and giraffe
Starfish, antelope, and deer, that wild hyena laugh
Human being, cockatoo, elephant and me
Your moms, your dads, your penguin birds, your first best friend and me
Your first best friend and me
Your first best friend and me

Take it baby, you can have it...

There's a man at my doorway, brown as a railroad bum
Says his name is Picasso, I said, "Where did you come from?"

Teenage Fanclub - "The Sun Won't Shine On Me" I have lost any sense of belonging
I am drifting like ice on the sea
With a troubled mind
I am in decline
And the sun won't shine on me
We had love that I thought was forever
But it travelled 180°...
