MORPHINE - B-SIDES AND OTHERWISE

 

Have a Lucky Day (live)

 

I feel lucky I just feel that way

I'm on a bus to Atlantic City later on today

I have a seat at at a blackjack table

Swear to God the dealer has a tag says Mabel

Hit me hit me I smile at Mabel

Soon they're bringing complimentary drinks to the table

Players win winners play oh have a lucky day (x2)

Have a lucky day

Mabel gives me a great big smile

She's getting to know me she's on my side

On my side yea

I'm a winner (x3)

And I came to play now I know why they say

Players win winners play oh have a lucky day

Players win and winners play um have a lucky day

Have a lucky day

Now I'm down a little in fact I'm down a lot

I'm on a roller coaster ride that I can't stop

My luck has changed but she'll come back

That's the beauty of a game of chance

I can't loose forever but I'm doomed to try

Keep on hearing a voice inside

Players win winners play oh have a lucky day

Players win and winners play yea have a lucky day

Have a lucky day (x2)

 

 

 

All Wrong (live)

 

She had black hair like ravens crawling over her shoulders

All the way down

She had a smile that swerved

She had a smile that curved

She had a smile that served all over the road

It's all wrong all wrong

All wrong all wrong

She had a way of making people feel good to be around her

As it should be

It's all wrong all wrong

All wrong all wrong (x2)

All wrong

And when she laughs I travel back in time

Something flips the switch and I collapse inside

It's all wrong all wrong

All wrong all wrong (x2)

All wrong

 

 

 

I Know You (part II live)

 

I know what the problem is

I know you

I know what the matter is

I know you

Cause you're just like me

Yea you're just like me and I know you

Cause you're just like me

Yea you're just like me and I know you

Mile High

 

Nothing's going to shake me

Nothing's going to bring me down

Nothing's going to shake me

Nothings going to make me change

That's the way I am and I'll always be the same

Yea oh

Nothings going to shake me

Nothings going to make me change

That's the way I am and I'll always be the same

And it's 1 2 3 4 everybody out the door

Let's go everyone everbody's got a gun

1 2 3 today is so easy

It's just a little bit of that simple simplicity ow

Everything is shimmering

(1 2 3 4 everybody out the door)

Let's go ? fast

(let's go everyone everybody's got a gun)

And everything that happened to me

(1 2 3 today is so easy)

Happened to me for the best

(it's just a little bit of that simple simplicity)

Ow

I got an action packed extravaganta

I got a sweet haiku

I got the cash to cover the action

I got the soul food

There's a flag I wanna fly

A mountain that I put in time

I was always on my way

Nothing's going to shake me

Nothing's going to make me change

That's the way I am and I'll always be the same

Mile high (x6)

 

 

 

Shame

 

OR

The "Buena" Single

I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it

Nothing I could do to make it go away

I felt bad but there was nothing I could do to change it

Nothing I could do to make things change

This is my shame (x2)

I felt bad but I keep trying to kid myself about it

Trying to tell myself it was an honest mistake

I felt bad but what's done is done

Just one thing remains

This is my shame (x2)

I know your mad at me

I know you want to cut my throat

I know you think I think it's all a joke

I don't (x2)

I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it

Nothing I could do to make it go away

I woke up and thought

Everything's going to be alright

Everything's going to be ok

Then it hit me like a wave (x2)

This is my shame (x3)

Woh

 

 

 

Down Love's Tributaries

 

Meanwhile

Down love's tributaries

In a canoe on my knees

She takes me anywhere anywhere she pleases

Vines surround us long and red

Curling around our arms and legs

Breaking through we have a drink and somehow find ourselves in sync so

We continue on and on there's no time to think right now

Perhaps another day is lost

 

 

 

Kerouac

 

Kerouac yea Kerouac

His words the words so many words just

All brothers of the same horn sisters the saxophone

Notes music words a melody a quote a figure eight a figure

If you listen close to the drummer

It's like a mirror and your invisible

Like your in a back seat

No handles on the doors just a beautiful driver up front

She knows where she's going

Kerouac the observation machine

Caressing the most passing of scenes with photographic love

Passionate photographic love

venerable as anyone knew

His memories pull shades up and down

Doors are not done telegrams arrive

Every morning something extra ???

Remembering everything like a snatch of melody

A drumbeat remembering mythologizing

So fast all the time moving

The words the words are drumsticks pounding out drum beats

Like a monk like a monk melody

With mistakes yea mistakes and sudden inspirations

Edges corners explosions convections

All fast through a slow motion landscape

Yea fast through a slow motion landscape

 

 

 

Pulled Over The Car

 

I was driving my car driving my car

I was getting kind of tired so I pulled over the car

Pulled over the car I pulled over the car

I got out of the car walked around the car

I got a little air I felt better

I got back in the car back in the car

Well as soon as I got back behind the wheel

I felt all tired again

So I pulled over the car I pulled over the car

I got out of the car walked around the car

I got a little air I felt better

I felt better I felt much much better

So I got back in the car back in the car

Well as soon as I got back behind the wheel

I felt all tired again

So I pulled over the car I pulled over the car

I got out of the car walked around the car

I got a little air I felt better

I got a little air I felt better

I felt much much much much better

I got back in the car I got back in the car

Well you know as soon as I got back behind the wheel I felt all sleepy and tired

again

But I can't be pulled over every 15 minutes

just because I feel a little sleepy and tired

So I kept on driving fell asleep at the wheel

Yes I kept on driving fell asleep at the wheel

I hit a tuck I hit a truck

I got out of the car I walked around the car

I checked it out

My Brain

 

My whole brain was out of tune (x2)

I don't know how to tune a brain do you

Went into a brain shop

They said they'd have to rebuild the whole head

I said well do what you got to do

When I got my brain back

Didn't work right

Didn't have as many good ideas

Haven't really had a good idea since I got it fixed
