Doggerel Lyrics
Nomatterday (Francis)
You know, I know that you don't really hate me
But I suppose that I probably irritate you
And furthermore I know that I can relate to you
I'll say I'm sorry in advance for all of my hyperbole
Don't. Waste. Your. Time. On. Me.
Don't. Waste. Your. Time. On. Me.
And you know, I really, really, really care for you
But I see lately you're a little absentee
I'm sure that you have had your fair share, your fair share of me
So why do you come here lately after all that we've been through?
Don't. Waste. My. Time. On. You.
Don't. Waste. My. Time. On. You.
It's Nomatterday here we go again
Necromancers bending to and fro
Feels like a Saturday that never seems to end
Feast of burden that-away
Beast of famine that-away
Easter Bunny that-away- ay-ee-ay-ay
Don't piss in the fountain
I said whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Don't piss in the fountain
I said ay-ay-ee-ay-ay
Don't piss in the fountain
I said whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Don't piss in the fountain
It's Nomatterday I call up all my friends
And we go dancing at the show
But when the spirits call its all shenanigans
Feast of burden that-away
Beast of famine that-away
Easter Bunny that-away- ay-ee-ay-ay
Don't piss in the fountain
I said whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Don't piss in the fountain
I said ay-ay-ee-ay-ay
Don't piss in the fountain
I said whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Don't piss in the fountain
I said hey
I said whoa
I say hey
I say whoa
Vault Of Heaven (Francis)
there in the vault of heaven
while trying to titrate
I ended up in another case
I went to 7-11
to try and get me straight
I ended up there in outer space
there in the vault of heaven
trying to titrate
I ended up in some dire straits
and that's OK
again to 711
'cause I think they're pretty great
I ended up here flat on my face
here in the vault of heaven
just trying to keep me straight
but I ended up still in outer space
here in the vault of heaven
trying to titrate
I ended up in some dire straits
but that's ok
Dregs Of The Wine (Santiago/Francis)
while I prefer the original version of You Really Got Me
she will defer to the Van Halen version
took the boat to the Hacienda
through swimming pools oh so placid
saw Redd Foxx took a hit of acid
saw the smiling queen of Thailand
and then it's time to go
I said it's time to go
are we gonna make it?
are we gonna make it?
we gottta face it
are we gonna make it?
we done run out of all our tricks
we flew a plane with lion tamers
back to Brazil in 66
end of the world and I don't blame her
and then it's time to go
it's really time to go
but are we gonna make it?
are we gonna make it?
we gottta face this
are we gonna make it?
drinking the dregs of the wine
under the Hollywood sign
drinking the dregs of the wine
'til it's gone
drinking the dregs of the wine
under the Hollywood sign
drinking the dregs of the wine
there's no more
it has the charm of hepcat circuit jazz
it has the swagger of a snake with arms
Haunted House (Francis)
there's a house in English bond
somebody planned to stay
standing out near the button pond
it never went away
how many fish do make the shoal?
I cannot count today
what is your wish for this these button holes?
I think I want to stay
haunted house all full of ghosts
I'm gonna pass that way
haunted house where I want to go
I'm gonna go today
north or south is the only way
I know I cannot tire
a haunted house that's built to stay
is setting me on fire
haunted house all full of ghosts
I'm gonna pass that way
haunted where I want to go
I'm gonna go today
haunted house where I want to go
haunted house where I want to go
somebody planned to stay
it never went away
Get Simulated (Francis)
I don't have pills or the thrills to survive
some say I've never lived but I know I am alive
you always say that I'm living in my head
but I will cry for you long after you're dead
get simulated I really get me down now
get simulated I really get me down now
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
don't have a bike I don't go out very much
all I ever wanted was your skin for to touch
I'll always love you I will always say your name
but if you join me then I'll know you feel the same
get simulated I really get me down now
get simulated I really get me down now
get simulated I really get me down now
get simulated I really get me down now
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
let it be said I'm a little narcissist
but my favorite rock and roll is Sealed With A Kiss
get simulated I really get me down now
get simulated I really get me down now
get simulated I really get me down now
get simulated I really get me down now
The Lord Has Come Back Today (Francis)
today's the day
that we're closest to the sun
and everyone's invited
but anyway
tomorrow comes
in this we are united
favorite line
from a song that'll take you back
out of the blue and into the black
favorite sign that the lord ain't comin' back
you'll break your mama if you step on a crack
good times
'cause I know that today's the day
good signs
yes, the lord has come back today
lose your mind
then you're going to lose track
for all of the things
for what you lack
good times
'cause I know that today's the day
good signs
yes, the lord has come back today
today's the day
that we're closest to the sun
and everyone's invited
but anyway
tomorrow comes
in this we are united
Thunder And Lightning (Francis)
there was a storm today in Chinatown
my favorite vegetable was really coming down
ok, you count the miles 'til lightning turns to thunder
how long until it tears us both asunder?
they started a war today in another land
everything went the way that it all was planned
ok, you count the miles 'til lightning turns to thunder
how long until it tears us both asunder?
ok, you count the miles till lightning turns to thunder
how long until it tears us both asunder?
there was a storm today in Chinatown
you count the miles till lightning turns to thunder
how long until it tears us both asunder?
there was a storm today
there was a storm today
you count the miles till lightning turns to thunder
you count the miles till lightning turns to thunder
There's A Moon On (Francis)
day after day seems about the same
same old people playing same old games
but some days are different when the moon
shines bright
there's a storm in your brain on a full moon night
there's a moon on
there's a moon on
there's a moon on
there's a moon on
don't like to fight don't like to spit
don't like a steak with no pepper on it
no, I don't like to spit and I don't like to fight
don't like to be alone on a full moon night
there's a moon on
there's a moon on
there's a moon on
there's a moon on
I can make like a dog and give my tail a shake
make like a frog and go jump in a lake
make like a cock and cock-a-doodle do
make like I'm gonna make love to you
there's a moon on
there's a moon on
there's a moon on
there's a moon on
Pagan Man (Santiago / Francis)
once it's gone you'll know
tides and moons ago
pagan man your miles away
once a younger moon
inside this castle new
and you will be miles away
pagan man pagan man
it's on you it's on you it's on you
once it's gone you'll know
inside this castle shows
you will be miles away
pagan man pagan man
it's on you it's on you it's on you
it's on you it's on you it's on you
Who's More Sorry Now? (Francis)
I swept the closet floor
I found some metaphors
a pair of running shoes
and something overdue
I said but who's more sorry now?
who's more sorry now?
who's more sorry now?
you know
you know
you know
see how much we owe
not much I suppose
for Henry David Thoreau
I said but who's more sorry now?
who's more sorry now?
who's more sorry now?
you know
you know
you know
don't split your sails over me
no, no
'cause it just don't matter
don't split your sails over me
no, no, no
'cause it jist don't matter
I found a mannequin
inside a plastic bin
I said but who's more sorry now?
who's more sorry now?
who's more sorry now?
you know
you know
you know
don't split your sails over me
no, no
'cause it just don't matter
don't split your sails over me
no, no, no
'cause it jist don't matter
You're Such A Saducee (Francis)
you're such a sadducee, so yeah
it's just so sad to see, how's that?
you're such a sadducee
it's just so sad to see
Your messages to me aren't bad
you've such economy and tact
you've such economy like Deuteronomy
you think that you and me should chat
but you're soliloquy's a drag
I think that you and me are like ventriloquy
I'm turning around
I'm turning around
You're burning it down
Doggerel (Francis)
three pretty boys did Gabriel get
the youngest George by name, Sir
a funny dog, not favored much
by fortune or by fame, Sir
down in the cold rain
down in the valley, bottom of the hill
1st Baron Colraine
Gabriel Hanger has sent a bell
on the road to somewhere
on the road to nowhere its the same to me
with a band of robbers or down the bottom, bottom of the sea
I'll never wander again
I'll never wander again
I'm gonna stay to the end here with you
I'll never wander again
I'll never wander again
I'm gonna stay to the end here with you, here with you
