LYRICS
BALLAD OF THE BURBS
We wear big ‘ol shorts, although we look like dorks
To be cool the California way
And every Saturday night we take daddies car
But come home before the break of day
We never want for anything
We’ve never been hungry and we’ve never been cold
We talk down to our fathers
But we wanna be like them when we get old
We’re wild boys from the suburbs and no one better push us around
Wild boys from the suburbs but we’ve never been downtown
And in the summertime we get a job that’s fine
Yeah, one where we can work on a tan
And the suburbian girls with fake diamonds and pearls
Smell money when they pick out a man

CATHARSIS
I’m done with you and your bitchy ways
Your bulls**t left me in a daze
I was so sad I became a bore
Because of you, you f**king ?????!
F**k you, F**k it, F**k off
Now you’re gone and I’m all alone
I won’t sit pining by the phone
Your stench has gone away
And it’s never coming back, no way!
Take my money, take your junk
Eat my s**t you smelly ????!
Author & Composer: Craig Hutchins, Michael Hutchins
DOWN THE DRAIN
I wrote this song
Ya know it’s true
It’s all about
The way I dooh
Your sweet scent lingers even after you’re gone
It’s in what you eat and I can smell it strong
Strange anticipation I can’t stop you now
Ya hang on and it furrows my brow
Ya hang on and it furrows my brow
I just can’t resist
That one look back
Before it all
Goes down the drain
Ya know I think and my stomach churns
When ya left me, I felt it burn
It’s over I’m the best I can feel
You’ve joined the system ya were my meal
You’ve joined the system ya were my meal
Just can’t resist, look back and linger
Just can’t resist, look back and linger

HEAD FULL OF SPIDERS
Head full of spiders, when I woke up today
Head full of spiders, can’t think them away
Head full of spiders, making webs fast
Head full of spiders, in a nest made to last
Maybe I should lie down, then I’ll feel better
If I just lie down, then I’ll feel better
Head full of spiders, can’t think straight you see
Head full of spiders, it’s just them and me

HOBNOBBING
I really hate looking for a job
So I’ll just rot at the one I got
It’s not like I don’t want to get ahead
But I can’t play the game and say what must be said
A lot of hob, hob hob nobbing
A lot of empty heads empty heads bobbing
You wanna hear some cold hard facts?
Only five percent of jobs are through the want ads
To get ahead you gotta know someone
So get networking, get it done
Then you get suited up and move on in
Soon they’ll discover that you’re not one of them
All upward mobility is at an end
And you can start it all over again

MY CAR
On the on ramp I was stuck, behind a truck
A White Freightliner pulling a Supervan 90
That’s a drag and just my luck
In the mirror I can see, everyone behind me pulling out and passing round
But me I’m in a clunker, I really ought to junk her
Before I drive her into the ground
If I had a chance, I’d pull out and pass but the needle says I got no gas
With a V-8 I’d get a date, put the pedal to the metal, I’d be kickin’ ass
Even though I doubt her, I can’t live without her, she’s the one that really gets me round
Gonna save some money, spend it on my honey, shine her up and then we’ll hit the town
Ohh, my car
I wave to the girls with the long blonde curls, at the stoplight I sit and wait
Is it my imagination or mental dehydration but I thought that I could hear them say
Ohh, nice car

MY ROOM
It’s got two walls, two windows, it’s got fir instead of pine
It’s got pictures on the dirty wall, I’d wash up but it’s mine
I’d like to paint or decorate but I can’t find the time
Sure hope I don’t have to relocate, this space is such a find
In my room, my room, mine
Please come to leave soon, bye
Don’t try to call me baby, cause it hasn’t got phone
Don’t try to stop off with a note, I’ll pretend that I’m not home
The rug is stained and dirty, don’t know how it got that way
I’d like to clean, ‘o rub-a-dub turn the TV on and play
Smell the naugahide
Too bad plants all died
Dusty as a dream
Too bored to yawn or SCREAM
Author & Composer: Craig Hutchins, Michael Hutchins
ONE-EYED LOVER
Glittering, glowing, always knowing
She calls me from the corner of the room
Light of my life, up through the night
If you keep calling, hey I’ll be there soon
I can’t get up I’m frozen there
All I do is sit and stare
It’s not a drug just a flickering light
My one-eyed lover and me in the night
Seeker of knowledge, I slump at the alter
A bag of tortillas and a bowlful of salsa
Don’t call me tonight, I’m not by the phone
There’s something good on, I’m enthralled at home
Like that old babe on Star Trek who craved all the salt
You suck my mighty brain power, volts from the vault
Total enrichment, can you relate?
I see what I missed when I rerun the tape
I’ve met so many people through you my dear
You empty my mind and fill up my years
Author & Composer: Craig Hutchins, Michael Hutchins
PERMANENT POUT
She’s a big girl, and she uses it well
She’s got a permanent pout, made out of silicone gel
Long strong legs, big green eyes
I won’t plead but baby please
If she looks your way, one thing she’ll say
You think you got it Mr. Savoir Fair?
Don’t disappoint me, don’t disappoint me
Cause I won’t ask twice
She’s got a little red sports car
With a big humping engine
She’s got a 427
With the nitrous injection
Shake those hips, purse those lips
There’s lots of that to go around

ROCK 'A' FELLER
Got myself a job I can’t stand
I’m getting up today to go at it again
Got myself a car I can’t afford
Only 48 payments till it’s paid up in full
The only way to get rich is to be born that way
I think I must have got switched on my birthday
I believe I was born a rock ‘a’ feller
To live in a house on a hill with a big wine cellar
Living like this can be a real pain
I’ve got nothing to report for capital gains
Now I don’t like to complain about the way I live
I’m tired of take I’d like to give give give
Living like this I’m missing all the fun
Come on rock-a-daddy I’m your long-lost son
The only way to get rich is to be born that way
I think I must have got switched on my birthday
I believe I was born a rock ‘a’ feller
To live in a house on a hill with a big wine cellar
Living like this can be a real pain
I’ve got nothing to report for capital gains

SORRY UNDERWEAR
So you met a nice girl but it can’t go anywhere
Cause you’re afraid she’ll see you in your underwear
You try acting cool and nonchalant
And you say she’s just not the one you want
Then you sit there feeling sorry for yourself
There’s just you to blame, ya well that’s a shame
There’s just you and no one else
You just sit there feeling sorry for yourself
Well the folks at work they all want to know
Why you get the order but don’t want to go
Author & Composer: Craig Hutchins, Michael Hutchins
STOCK CAR DRIVER
You fella’s wanna see live naked women
I mean totally naked
If you ask them correct
They come home wrapped up and selected
Don’t talk to the man who’s down in front
You ask them directly
Don’t tell them that I sent ya
But you spell my name correctly
Do you see me? Do you buy my line?
Do I scare you? Way down inside…
I may be eating ribs from a brown paper bag
But I got more than that
I see you folks is new in town
Let me show you where it’s at
I’ll wash you car for five dollars
For six I’ll give it wax
For I am a stock car driver
And I’m most at home on the track
I work on six old cylinders
While most folks work on eight
Just call me wonder under dog
And worship while you wait
I’m a stock car driver….

TEA TIME
Who do you think you are trying to shove your wishes down are throats?
Don’t want to meet Mr. Valdez living in the closet going through my coats
Batten the hatches, clear the decks, it’s tea time
Boil the brew take time to reflect, it’s tea time
Without a doubt, every time I’m out, I get a look like I’ve got two heads
I want a smooth, mellow brew not some squashed beans in a molten dread
If it’s bad, think it
If it brews, smoke it
This band could be at your house, amps on ten tearing the place apart
But one thing, you’d better know, it’s tea time or we don’t even start

YO-YO MAN THE PERV
Works out back in a pre-fab shed
Got a lot of fact he wants to get out his head
Going home tonight to a bottle of cheap wine
Gotta get back inside, gotta make some time
Yo-yo man the perv, make some friends just as fast as you can
Yo-yo man the perv, look out ladies here come the hit man
Got thirty years experience all over you
Got a heartbreak story going to tell it true
Got a new idea, it’s the cat’s meow
I’d like to tell it to you but I’m busy right now
Up one minute, down the next
Why is life so complex?
Only wanna get me next to you
Visit my backwoods shed for a day or two
