"Tango Till They're Sore" lyrics
"Tango Till They're Sore"
Well you play that tarantella, all the hounds will start to roar
The boys all go to hell and then the Cubans hit the floor
They drive along the pipeline, they tango till they're sore
They take apart their nightmares and they leave 'em by the door
Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or better on a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
And send me off to bed forevermore
Make sure they play my theme song, I guess daisies will have to do
Just get me to New Orleans and paint shadows on the pews
Turn the spit on that pig and kick the drum and let me down
Put my clarinet beneath your bed till I get back in town
Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or better on a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
And send me off to bed forevermore
Just make sure she's all in Calico and the color of a doll
Wave the flag on Cadillac Day and a skillet on the wall
Cut me a switch or hold your breath till the sun goes down
Write my name on the hood, send me off to another town
And just let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or better on a blanket by the stairs
Tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
Will you send me off to bed forevermore?
Fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or better on a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
Send me off to bed forevermore
Send me off to bed forevermore

Giant dripping leaves, spoons of powdered cream

PJ Harvey - "C'mon Billy" C'mon Billy, come to me
You know I'm waitin', I love you endlessly

Fairport Convention - "Genesis Hall" My father he rides with your sheriffs
And I know he would never mean harm
But to see both sides of a quarrel
Is to judge without haste or alarm
Oh, oh, helpless and slow

Their business was in another town
Bigger than the town they were driving from.
Business took place during office hours in both towns.
This drive was considered...
Smog - "In The Pines" The longest train I ever saw
Went down that Georgia line
The engine went by at six o'clock
And the cab went by at nine
In the pines
