[Lyric] Dreamin (Graham Parker)
Dreamin’, yes I’m dreamin’ I never get my head off the ceiling At least I’m not in my basement screaming I’m dreamin’ of you when I’m dreamin’ Walking, I’m just walking I’m talking to myself when I’m walking I wanna tell you what you already know I’m walking with you when I’m walking Streaming, yeah I’m streaming A video of something...Learn MorerockGraham Parker[Lyric] Bathtub Gin (Graham Parker)
Oh, i needed that bathtub gin Right there, right then Knocked up by enthusiasts Who work in shifts where the air is thin Oh, i needed that bathtub gin Right there, right then The ships go out, the ships come in Then they start slingin' that bathtub gin Gets you out of your head your evening's set Puts a hole in your liver like you never had...Learn MorerockGraham Parker[Lyric] Hot Ringlets (Graham Parker)
When I sing I sing with lisp But that don't make me a bona fide black man I come from the delta near Baton Rouge Down the road a piece just south of Twickenham See the young girls Dressed in their singlets Walking down the beach They make me think of you Old mother Huddard went to the cupboard Pulled out a monkey Put him in a monkey stew Wanna...Learn MorerockGraham Parker[Lyric] She Never Let Me Down (Graham Parker)
She never let me down. That's one thing I can say for sure I had her wrapped around my finger. Then I cut the cord And when the night comes on and another day draws to an end There's a world of difference between lovers and friends She never let me down well that's one thing I tell you for sure The autumn leaves come down like dead things and blow...Learn MorepopGraham Parker[Lyric] Girl in Need (Graham Parker)
When you say you're weary You sound like a girl in need When you say you're teary eyed Just let it water a seed When you say you're past your prime Reinvent yourself one more time Hit the road with a bag of nails Build a house that withstands the gales and storms I have lived in darkness But it wasn't that bad at all Coz when the light came...Learn MorerockGraham Parker[Lyric] Brain Surgery (Graham Parker)
I'd like to wear a hospital gown and strap you down Inside my dungeon deep in the city underground I'd like to bore a hole in your head with a laser beam Then with a scalpel take out the bits that bother me Surgery, brain surgery Surgery, brain surgery I'd like to roll you out on a gurney under lights Shave off your hair and give you a shot of...Learn MorerockGraham Parker[Lyric] Coins in My Pocket (Graham Parker)
Well I'm working in a factory Bringing down my wages I work from 9 to 5 then I'm free But I blow it on the weekend Every single penny I'm happy when I'm drinking you see And the coins in my pocket Might as well be fishes in the sea Well I called the bartender I paid him legal tender But he brushed me off And gave me one free Well I got a lot of...Learn MorerockGraham Parker[Lyric] Every Saturday Nite (Graham Parker)
Well there's a melancholy sky overhead Above the threatening trees that are nowhere near dead There's a rain that might not quite fall In a dusk that harbours a wearying pall Every Saturday nite Has me hitting my pillow early Every Saturday nite I'm treating like Sunday Without you My love has a whole ‘nother name We invented it somewhere,...Learn MorerockGraham Parker[Lyric] Custom Fanny (Graham Parker)
All right Charlie! Well I'm lying on my Caribbean island Cosmopolitan and vogue in my hand I'm more evil than Bill Wyman I want 'em younger and dumber and tan And when I see a young chicken in the centre spread I get my Toadie to pick up the phone Call up the modelling agency And then I ring her up at home She's on the next flight It's a custom...Learn MorerockGraham Parker[Lyric] Brushes (Graham Parker)
Well I love it when those drummers play the brushes I love it when they stroke it like a girl Love the sound of skylarks and thrushes And I love to eat the oyster round the pearl I can't believe I'm working in a garage I can't believe I'm pumpin' gas all day It's just the kinda life I disparage But I'm stuck with it now I have to say Oh I want to...Learn MorerockGraham Parker[Lyric] What Happens When Her Beauty Fades? (Graham Parker)
What happens when her beauty fades? Is she a thing of the past? Will she start hiding in the shade? That's what the media ask They got their heads up their ass Will she go for surgery they call it elective It always looks weird never effective Like fine monofilament holding up her skin Attached to the sky above the rictus of a grin Oh well is that...Learn MorerockGraham Parker[Lyric] Carp Fishing on Valium (Graham Parker)
It's impossible to stay on top Life's a never ending climb One day you're a winner The next a flop I'm so over it now I don't even mind Carp fishing on Valium That's where I really want to be Carp fishing on Valium With my line out in the water And my mind floating free Whatever nonsense this life throws at you You gotta grab it with both...Learn MorerockGraham Parker
