Dave Q This album has the right to be loved. I could listen to this album while having dental work with no anaesthetic and time would, most likely, fly by. From the opening guitar duel to the most ambiguous campaign song at the end, it is never less than fun, although the track Don't I Have The Right is genuinely moving and breaks my heart without sounding out of place. If you like fun, you should get this. Favorite track: Don't I Have A Right? - featuring Nancy Lynn Howell.

I hit my head I hear the phone ring I was distracted by my friend Joe I hit my head Now I'm left-handed Lost my sublet to my friend Joe I've lost my superpowers I was invisible I could just cut myself Right out my will I was unsupervised I had a real good time Until I... I hit my head Back in the day With my friends 'round me You could count on me with just one hand When I digress You'll find me smiling Could be living underneath the ground I've lost my superpowers I was invisible I could just cut myself Right out my will I was unsupervised I had a real good time Until I... I hit my head I hit my head In different places Was distracted by memory I was alone Or else just lonely And Joe will never return again I've lost my superpowers I was invisible I could just cut myself Right out my will I was unsupervised I had a real good time Until I We hope for better things (I've lost my superpowers) That were impossible (I was invisible) We would just clap our hands (I could just cut myself) And wait for the sound (right out my will) We were unsupervised (I was unsupervised) We had a real good time Until I... I hit my head

Don't break the heart that needs you There's nowhere you can go But down if you do To turn your back on someone Will make you sorry I can guarantee you Don't make the fatal error Of thinking you'll find someone better Don't break the heart that needs you Don't, don't, don't Is history too much for you to handle? A little too much wax burned off the candle If curiosity has made you restless Don't stray too far or else you may regret it Don't break the heart that needs you There's nowhere you can go But down if you do To turn your back on someone Will make you sorry I can guarantee you Don't make the fatal error Of thinking you'll find someone better 'Cause you won't Don't break the heart that needs you Don't, don't, don't Don't break the heart that needs you There's nowhere you can go But down if you do To turn your back on someone Will make you sorry I can guarantee you Don't make the fatal error Of thinking you'll find someone better Don't break the heart that needs you Don't, don't break the heart that needs you Don't, don't break the heart that needs you Don't, don't, don't

A remote broadcast tower outside New York City sends its message out into the area. Tonight they play a recorded performance of the group Mono Puff. Beyond the Orange Mountains west of the city, thin night clouds settle and the sun's rays can no longer hold back the interference from the distant antennas. Against nature, a family labors to isolate the sound of Mono Puff from the static. Like so many others before them, they strain at the fine tuning knob of their receiver. Finally free, they hear and understand. This recording is dedicated to their struggle.

The Devil went down To Newport town He brought his red surfboard To race against the Lord It was totally rocking It was totally rocking It was totally rocking It was totally rocking Satan told his girl, "I'm gonna ride a curl" He caught a heinous wave And he gave the crowd a wave It was totally rocking It was totally rocking They were surfin' for souls To the beat of rock and roll Alright Next came God's turn Got a wicked sunburn He didn't use lotion While he was parting the ocean It was totally rocking It was totally rocking It was totally rocking It was totally rocking God said to Satan, "Dude, I'm sick of waitin' In order to win Chuck, you gotta hang ten" It was totally rocking It was totally rocking Things were lookin' rad Oh yeah For the forces of bad Alright Satan went surfin' Didn't need a board Could not hang ten He could only hang four Satan had a problem He could not compete Satan was hindered By his cloven feet It was totally rocking It was totally rocking It was totally rocking It was totally rocking Go, go, Satan, go Go, go, Satan, go Go, go, Satan, go Go, go, Satan, go Go, go, go Alright!

Far from the crowd He's the day watchman Walk past the trees He used to swing from What bothers the spaceman? The teeth in his head I'm sure he could smile for us Wave to the people Out on the lawn Mr. Ellis and Mr. Lee Mr. Lee and me What bothers the spaceman? What's left for him now? I'm sure he could smile for us Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee (ley ley) Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee (ley ley) Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee (ley ley ley)

So long, mockingbird Laughing on the telephone line So long, mockingbird Laughing on the telephone line I can read your mind From half a mile Peek into your mind But I won't say Hello, open field I'm happy as a scarecrow now Hello, open field I'm happy as a scarecrow now Cars can pass me by I don't mind They can pass me by I don't mind So long, mockingbird I won't miss your mockingbird face So long, mockingbird I won't miss your mockingbird face I hate you so

Careless Santa Spoiled my Christmastime Thoughtless Santa How can I forgive him? Been so good all year long Bag of money Was all I asked him for Down my chimney it came My one Christmas wish Landed on my arm and broke it Careless Santa Spoiled my bankrobbing scheme Thoughtless Santa How can I forgive him? I laid low like we planned Bag of money Is all he stole for me Down my driveway I came The place was crawling with cops Spotted the cast on my arm and they busted me Careless Santa Thoughtless Santa

You sure weren't rich Didn't live in the city Never whispered sweet nothings Never told me I'm pretty You sure weren't perfect What's perfect these days? But you left me Now I'm destroyed You cheated at cards And lied when you hung out In bars making time With those girls you called old pals I cried when you left me, Now I'm wondering when You'll make it all up to me? Don't I have the right To be over you yet? I've tried pretending I tried to forget Though it's past three AM I would still let you in 'cause I can't go on dreaming alone I work at my desk And stare at the letter And think of the first one That you never answered Pour milk in my coffee And watch it explode And know that you're doing the same Don't I have the right To be over this fling? You once said you loved me We talked about rings I would try someone new If that someone would love me The way you did Don't I have the right to be loved? To be loved To be loved
