Drinkin' In My Sunday Dress --------------------------------------------- I've Forgotten What It Was In You (That Put The Need In Me) (Maria McKee) You wanna talk about devotion You wanna talk about true love After the moment of emotion It's kinda hard to keep the mood up Well look into my eyes and Tell me what you see I've forgotten what it was in you That put the need in me Your arms were like a little paradise But your arms have changed And the flicker of a good love's fire Has seen brighter days When we've said every line And played out every scene I've forgotten what it was in you That put the need in me Well honey you and I We had the sweetest thing And we can try and try But somethin' ain't the same Don't look me in the eye 'cause I'm the one to blame I've forgotten what it was in you That put the need in me Who'd ever thought that I Would have the guts to change We could try to live a lie You'd hate me just the same Oh honey please don't cry I'm sorry and ashamed I've forgotten what it was in you That put the need in me To Miss Someone (Maria McKee) I've been keeping busy since we've said goodbye But all I do is think about you The days are quick, the nights are long I feel them tick, I watch them crawl I'm petrified of running out of things to do Though I've never really been in love I know now what it means To miss someone I have not been winning since we've said goodbye Nothing fits and everything feels wrong I guess it's useless to deny it I'll admit that I've been crying Guess I'm not so independent after all Though I've never been in love I know now what it means To miss someone Sometimes I dream we find each other in the night And pass each other by But part of me is running through every vein Inside of you I know where you're going I know where you've been I know everything about you The walls inside my head will shake The very second that you break I'd sell my soul to keep your at my heel Though I never been in love I know now how it feels To miss someone Am I The Only One (Who's Ever Felt This Way?) (Maria McKee) There is no damn reason I should have to be so alone I'm smothered with this emptiness Lord, I wish I was made of stone Like a fool, I lent my soul to love And it payed me back with shame God help me, am I the only one Who's ever felt this way? A heart that's worn and weathered Would know better than to fight But I wore mine like a weapon Played out love like a crime And it wrung me and strung me out Hung years on my face God help me, am I the only one Who's ever felt this way? Now my sense of humor needs a break I see a shadow in the mirror And she's laughin' through her tears One more smile's all I can fake There is a wound inside me And it's bleeding like a flood There are times when I see light ahead But hope is not enough As another night surrounds me And it pounds me like a wave God help me, am I the only one Who's ever felt this way? Nobody's Child (Maria McKee & Robbie Robertson) Turning around, I see someone I thought I used to know Your wide-eyed in the crowd How does it feel to see the world And not turn cold I wanna hold you and protect you from the change Though I know it's gonna happen anyway Take the veil And I'll dry your eyes In a world like ours You're nobody's child I'm depending on you To teach me all the things I forgot I ever knew Baby you can lean on me I may lean a little too Whatever gets us through And I feel a mountain movin' deep within At the end of the revival we begin Take this veil And I'll dry your eyes In a world like ours I'm nobody's child And I feel a mountain movin' deep within At the end of the revival we begin Take this veil Dry these eyes You've seen me break But I'm nobody's child Panic Beach (Maria McKee) Well the dog act got drunk again last night And the king and queen of the waltz clog team Had another fight King was careless with his tango grip Nearly lost his queen in a dip Yeah she righted herself, straightened out her slip And kicked him in the shin Miss Billy Begonia thinks she's hit the "Big Time" She wants a thick red rug From the dressing room door to the frontline of the footlights She's got a sky blue swansdown powder puff And a corset to keep her spirits up Yeah, she don't sweat, she sours and melts Like ice cream in the sun She'll be out of a job at the end of this three week run We're havin' fun out here On panic beach I hear them talk about the palace But it's so far out of reach So I'll do my time Then say goodbye to panic beach Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye The visionary theatric Strikes a juggler's seesaw tune And the dying swan pirouettes and fawns By the light of the street lamp moon When my trunk is filled with taffeta Those "big time" hacks won't laugh at us When my taps are made of silver I can make the kiddies thrill for just one buck and wing Yeah, I will nail them to my heel And the panic choir sings Here comes a lucky little thing To panic beach Yeah, you know we got to teach him how to sing While we're stuck on panic beach Ah, the way ya hear 'em say it Doesn't seem so outta reach So I'll do my time Then say goodbye to panic beach Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Well the landlord gets a free show Every Saturday at six Sometimes on a Sunday, All dependin' on whatever kinda mood he's in I keep his glass filled up with sherry And sing him all his favorite songs If a tear comes to his eye he may let a month go by Before he takes away my key Oh, that sherry starts to taste real good to me Hey mama, look at me On panic beach I may be hungry but my rent is free Up on panic beach Yeah, I can almost see the palace No longer outta reach So I'll do my time Then say goodbye to panic beach Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Can't Pull The Wool Down (Over The Little Lamb's Eyes) (Maria McKee) I can feel you I can feel you, baby Smirkin' in the shadows And hopin' that I fall I remember when you loved me, baby I let you play the brave You made me feel so small Well, we're still fightin' the same world You can tempt and try to coax me I will never be your girl again Walk that walk til you drop Cock your head and wear a crown But you can't pull the wool down Over the little lamb's eyes You have no fear of failure You got the mirror, baby You've got a good tailor You have no fear You're not like everyone You're not afraid of losin' Or of being left alone That suite you're stuck in fits you to a tee But you're waltzin' 'round a land mine If you think you're bluffin' me Mumble through your cigarette Sympathize with every breathe But you can't pull the wool down Over the little lamb's eyes Listen, You say you know how it feels, baby But you don't know what it's like But you can't pull the wool down Over the little lamb's eyes I've learned a little bit about being hard I can see you I can see you, baby Ever poised for some eternal snapshot Well.

I got a new tiara, daddy Take me to the Mardi Gras Buy me cotton candy, dress me up in flowers Let me be your "Baby Doll" We can ditch that social worker In and out the swingin' doors on Tchoupitoulas Street You may call jailbait But I ain't too little to take the heat I can feel phantoms blowin' through my brain And I feel, like I need someone to make 'em go away I remember better days... Breathe (Maria McKee) At first I was scared When I opened up my head And the motor that was runnin' Was the mind of you I was scared when I looked at my reflection And the shine I saw Were the eyes of you I was scared when you touched my lips And the breath I took Was a breath that shook me with a shock Like a flame As eternal as a song And the song is you and I I will let you breathe through me I will let you be with me Whenever I'm alone And you're lost out there I can feel you breathe 'Cause out lungs we share When I'm alone Anytime, anywhere I can feel your heart beat 'Cause our blood we share I was scared when you came into my room The walls became the sea Your voice was the moon Oh, when you rocked me in your arms Like a song, a wave on the tide of you and I I will let you breathe through me I will let you be with me My heart beats your blood, Your breath fills my lungs, Your heart beats my blood, My breath fills your lungs I was scared when you came into my room The walls became the sea Your voice was the moon Oh, when you rocked me in your arms Be with me... I will let you breathe though me I will let you breathe though me I will let you breathe though me I will let you breathe though me Has He Got A Friend For Me? (Richard Thompson, 1972 Beeswing Music BMI) Saturday night and I'm all alone No ring on the doorbell, No ring on the phone And nobody wants to know Anyone lonely like me Your boyfriend's good looking He's got it all there Looks like God made him With something to spare You look good together Scurrying off down the street Has he got a friend, Has he got a friend for me? Has he got a friend, Has he got a friend for me? He's got the haunt of the sea in his eyes But he wouldn't notice me passing him by I could be in the gutter Or dangling down from a tree If he knows someone Who's graceful and wise Doesn't mind a girl who is clumsy and shy I don't mind going with someone that I've never seen Has he got a friend for me? Has he got a friend, Has he got a friend, For me? Drinkin' In My Sunday Dress (Maria McKee) I can barely feel the sheets With all these crumbs down in my bed How can I get to sleep With all this buzzin' in my head And who'd have ever thought I'd not complain about a mess Serves me right I guess This is what I get For eatin' crackers with my gin And drinkin' in my Sunday dress The telephone is by the bottle Which is always by the bed From time to time I give it a rattle To make sure that it's not dead I will wait here for your call Till I run out of cigarettes I love to play the part of the damsel in distress Flickin' ashes in my coffee Drinkin' in my Sunday dress Well I've been on the road to this And I've been on the way to this But who'd think it'd come to this Don't let on you've seen me like this My old transistor's sounding just as twangy as a fender My radiator growls like Elvis After Sunday dinner I've drained my last tequila And I've thrown away the blender I've poured out all the wine From now on nothing but the best Cognac and Patsy Cline While drinkin' in my Sunday dress Well, I've been on the road to this And I've been on the way to this I surely ain't no hypocrite I've had my fun and now I must confess Our reverend is a kingly soul Repends 'em on a dime His bible is not inked in gold He's not the cheatin' kind One Sunday after meetin' I was in the greetin' line He said I've seen you from the altar Gulpin' down communion wine Just remember who's beside you When it's no business of mine
