Climate: Friends Have Names All Songs by Nathan Beach & Grant Kuneman (c) 1998 Bryan's Cabin Songs (ASCAP) "Ronald's Diet" Drive time makes me crotchety Here in this towns The laws are there too long To enforced lightly Why cannot they get the traffic lights Timed like the way Ronald drives Stopping at lights is no fun When there is no-one to hit Eating times makes me crazy Here in this towns The laws are there too long To enforced lightly Why can't they fix the food items Like Ronald eats daily Eating is no fun when You have got no one to chew it out And they know Oh yes, they know All the foodstuffs That make Ronald grow Give him carrots for his hair Give him corn for his health Give him milk for his bones Give him meat for his brain Give him chili for his soul And if he choose He mixes food with other things And if he chews He masticates all kinds of food And if he eats He feels so full from hair to feet And if he please He digests all these things with ease Making Ronald out of meat Making Ronald out of milk Making Ronald out of bread Making Ronald out of fruits and vegetables And he will always have some thing to eat But he'll missing those things in return And they know oh they know All the food groups that make Ronald grow "Randy Grows" Randy's dead She lost her head and said 'Save his lungs for me' Though Randy's dead I can't just fake regret And fight what had to be And his being gone today Is not the way to be It's the way to live And then she said 'Oh what would randy say, if he could say now?' No one knows How our randy grows No one knows How he liked to go To the library Wearing nothing but a sock And a silly grin on his face Naked as a horse 'Save his lungs for me' 'Save his arms for me' 'Save his neck for me' 'I will need these things' "Happy Now" If you are going to die While I am alive Do not forget to write To make things go by End all thinking here Force feed me some beer Then I will have to stay Dancing the time away How we feared strange things We lived in the frame Why do I see You and no me? Am I really there? Are those fingers mine? I cannot see me here Am I really there? I only see the you Your skin is turned blue Why are you blue? Anything I can do? It must be warm inside We'll go for a ride The car is waiting outside Or we just stay here, let's hide From all the people outside They all know that you're mine We pour out fear with the wine We used to do this all the time Your body will warm in the fire Hey where is that fine old desire? Is it growing in the fire? Is it growing in the fire? Or I can warm you up this how Or I can warm you up this how I am so happy now I am so happy now I am so happy now I am so happy now "Roscoe's Driveway" Driving fast Sunday morning Things for Roscoe in the back seat I don't I don't I don't Get things for any other Oranges rolling down my wind Silly looks will make him wonder Derful derful der Full of wonder will be Roscoe Greeting friends in the driveway Christmas cards from El Paso I'll go I'll go I'll go In the door and run home Do he feel sorry for me Anymore is better than the former I know I know I know He gives me lots of loving Greeting friends in the driveway Christmas cards from El Paso I'll go I'll go I'll go in the door and run home It is coming back home Starting to break Nothing is fake Nothing alone When it's coming back home Starting to break Nothing is fake "Peter's Knees" The broken leaves are on the floor They form on me a semi-royal wreath The vines reach up for heaven-high They almost cannot touch St. Peter's Knees He lets no persons in these days We lost all desires to learn I am up past the stars right now I wish I were down on earth with you "Lady To-Night" Walzting time to other rhymes That lay before me Let me be your lady to-night You show me how to dance right Can you please bring me some drink I am so thirsty for city lights It's okay when you bring me some gin Can you believe the city we are in? Can't we leave Austin bald soon? Back to Dallas and my room Where can we get gravy for us? This night it's too cold to taste Cowboys and Indians make friends I'll give you beads for a smoke Let me be your lady to-night You show me how to dance right Can you please bring me some drink I am so thirsty for city lights "Smoke Always" I am sorry that the smoke always rises From the bonfire in your house There are so many rooms to grow So I do not get in the way Of the things you have to do today This beer has solidified On the chair in your living room And I wonder why there is so much to do Why cannot you Make me some tea Or give me a smile For all the things today That you must do All the things You "Wind Wind" Engines humming inside Tunnels passing me by Blank white fields befriend Window cracking the night Fractured tendency strain Colors falling in place King to every case Finger cracking the rain Sliding upward in time Fixing following rhymes Stop here yes to free Rolling inwardly Tick's tock forever block Bridge to southern lanes Toes taped to high planes How could everything lock? Wind wind wind wind Come to blow Come to blow a trees away Come to blow a Greece away Cannot wait until the day That we'll dream, drown, clown around Summer will not beat my soul At last at last We roll in the grass At last at last We forget the past Wind wind wind wind "Chinese Pin" All I see The same old girls I wrote about This time last year That same Chinese pin Through that same Never mind hair If you cross The street today Do not bother To look back This way All the diseases Desperate grown Doesn't match the way It is on your own All the diseases Desperate grown Doesn't match the way I see you now "Will Call" And when will you call me out there? Oh, and this fun times we bear For my black eye My black eye My black eye Oh my No more in the house here are you And when will you give me a new A new black eye My black eye My black eye Oh my There is beer in the cooling machine No need to eat them today My black eye My black eye My black eye Oh my When we are in Dallas again I hope you'll be my special friend To my black eye My black eye My black eye Oh my "Olden Days" I ask myself how Rode home on streets On a bicycle built for one Which he could not take to home Did he carry this book Which has his notations? Whom did he Christen? And what was he thinking? Was it of Texas or The long ride home? The long ride home The long ride home The long ride home "Dark Gone" The room has gone dark Except one Christmas light It is cold out on the ocean tonight When, if ever, come to me And we'll go away to the sea There is no-one will miss us here If you walk down there with me And I will show you the morning sun If you push me out into the sea All Songs by Nathan Beach & Grant Kuneman (c) 1998 Bryan's Cabin Songs (ASCAP)
