Making Me Blue (My Body Is Changing)

Co-written with Steve Poltz

My body is changing
To fit itself around your shoe
And my insides are aching
To be closer to you

You're like a crevice
Like a crack, not a trace
I can't make myself small enough
To fit in your space

If you come down, if you come down, if you come down
Down off your one-legged horse
Your immortal course
Is making me blue, yeah
You're making me blue, yeah

My limbs are changing
My heart is filled with growing pains
But you are so perfect
A brittle vessel filled with rain

You're like a rock
You're like a razor, like a tack
You're pulse is pale
But your humor's always black

If you come down, if you come down, if you come down
Down off your one-legged horse
Your immortal course
You're making me blue, yeah
You're making me blue, yeah

I'm your servant
I'm down on my knees
I'll be wishing you here
After I leave
I would worship you irreverently
Just meet me half way
And I will lay you down
Come towards me, baby

We fit together
Like a couple of spoons
Although one moment the spell is wrought
Hope no one opens this velvet drawer
Love is always over too soon

But I want to hold you
Forever in flight
'Til we're two old flames
There's a mighty thin line
Dancing by a dim light

If you just come down, if you come down
Won't you please come down
Down off your one-legged horse
Your immortal course
Is making me blue, yeah
You're making me blue, yeah

And my body is changing...
To fit itself around your shoe
(line may not be sung- end with "changing..."

Mamma's Little Hero

Every mom wants her little boy
To grow up and be a hero
Size years of age
She planted the seed
His young hands burdened
Bewildered and confused
How how the hell can a little boy satisfy a woman's needs

Nobody told him what you are
Not what she needs you to be
She made him her lover
But only through words
Inappropriate...
And high hopes and dreams
She made him her babbot
Wound him so tight that....
Worrying about how to live up to
Expectations so high

Nobody told him what you are
Not what she needs you to be
Forever imprisoned by she
And standards that he can not hold
Till mamma's little hero sets himself free
He'll always be a man child walking
Forever frightened
By those big scary words,
Committment and need
A deep distrust that he could never satisfy
That a woman could love him for free

Say be what you are
Not what she needs you to be
Be what You are
Not what she needs you to be
Mamma's little hero

The Man Who's Already Gone
Written by Jewel Kilcher and Joy Eden Harrison

There's a man gonna have you if he can
But he don't want to (wait, he's gone home)?
Passion in his hands, the desires of a man
Strung by the laces of his shoes

And Tuesday's another town
And Wednesday's hanging round
But Thursday don't want to see him anymore

Cause he can hold you
He can love you
But he won't be thinkin of you
He's the man who's already gone

There's a man gonna love you if he can
But he don't know which way he's gonna roam/run
Daddy said go ahead, he said well you never can tell
which way the wind is gonna blow
because hearts may come and hearts may go
But you can't follow scent? if it's cold

Cause he can hold you he can haunt you
But he won't be thinking of you
Cause he's the man who's already gone

Don't roam
It's a long road
It's a long road with no place to go

There's a man gonna have you if he can
But he don't know which way he's gonna roam.

Marital Carnival

You come home, you look kind of frantic
Too bad cause I feel romantic
I know you're stressed out again
Tonight - I guess - that we're just friends again
You know I'm really not the type to compete
I hope your meetings were filled with lots of good 'meet'
And your appointments have lots of good 'ointments'
??? what you could never could satisfy

Chorus:
Cause I don't carry you like I did a minute ago
I tried to love you but it was just too stressful
It's like leavin' your boots on when you go swimming
But I never will fight for what doesn't want to win

You wake up - I'm doing cartwheels
You're grumpy
Said, "Try some how I feel"
"I'm happy" just wasn't no fun
It's hard enough just waking up next to one
You know if you were oatmeal - you'd just look for lumps
If you were sweet I'd call you sugarbumps
If you were the sunshine you'd say I was
Well I am tired of this capricious game

Chorus:
Cause I don't carry you like I did a minute ago
I tried to love you but it was just too stressful
It's like leavin' your boots on when you go swimming
But I never will fight for what doesn't want to win

Oh Marital Carnival
Oh Marital Carnival
Oh Marital Carnival
Stop!
I want to get off...

Sweetheart, I'm gonna find myself a ride
One that doesn't bring me down this time
One that isn't always on the run
One that can have good old fashioned fun
Cause you know my purpose in life is nothing more
Is then to simply be a dork
I'm just like a special chocolate treat
I ain't no piece of leftover hot dogs...

Chorus:
Cause I don't carry you like I did a minute ago
I tried to love you but it was just too stressful
It's like leavin' your boots on when you go swimming
But I never will fight for what doesn't want to win

I never will fight for
No!
I never will fight for
Ruff!
I never will fight for what doesn't want to win (winning)

Memoirs Of A Housewife

I have a secret obsession
It's totally tupperware
My own science project
Defying wear and tear
I'm jealous of shopping carts
And all of their brand new things
I want to fondle their labels
In hopes one'll rub off on me

'Cause everybody wants to feel brand new
Like they do

I spend my days indoors
Doing like ding-dongs do
Perfectly preserving
Myself for you

I take things out of their boxes
Take out my note pad and pen
Study carefully

'Cause everybody wants to feel brand new
Like they do

So tell me you want me
Tell me you need me
Tell me I'll always be desirable
Especially to you

Make me feel brand new

Attractive!

Brand spanking clean
And desirable as homecoming queen

But if I were to bet
All of the frenchfries in the world
That you would say such things
I would surely be one very hungry girl

I approach china cautiously
If there's cracks I deny it
I ingest only perfect things
Into my visual diet

And at night I undress myself
In front of your favorite things
Your brand new hand-tied blue bass fishing lure
And in the corner your money clip sings

Everybody wants to feel brand new
Everybody wants to feel brand new
Like they do
As they do
I do too

Money

You see the big fat man with a skinny blonde
who lets him kiss her hand
because he, ooh, breathes diamond rings when he sings
He talks like columbian coffee with cream
It's not, ooh, too, ooh, sweet

Money makes the world go round round round round
Bom de-dooble dooble bom
Doo bow mow

A cheap pillow
room's vibrating bed
It's hot feelings, cold feet, hey, yo, gimme some
head into the bathroom just to powder her nose
Clip her fingernails and paint her toes
And it's all, ooh, for, uuh, money

Money makes the world go round round round round

She used to be pretty with a real cute face
Dreams and morals lived in that internal fireplace
Then in came the shadow man he blew out her light
And now, like so many, there's just a little pilot light It's a fight for money

Money makes the world go roouund

You see the big fat man with a skinny blonde
who lets him kiss her hand
because he, ooh, breathes diamond rings when he sings
He talks like columbian coffee with cream
It's not, ooh, too, ooh, sweet

Money makes the world Money makes the world go rooooouuuund.

Moon Over Austin (Hotel Angels)

Sweet man, sweet mystery
Unveil yourself to me
Sweet soul, lie so still
Flesh cup, gonna get my fill
Let me rise and fall
With the wings of your sheets
While the moon's full over Austin
The city sleeps below
Only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
Your body be a tender vine
That twists and turns just like mine
Your heart a slender thong
Filled with honey, built with song
'Til dawn steals you from me
And takes me to the next town
But tonight the moon's full over Austin
And babies lie below
And only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
There's one thing that keeps me going
It's the slow and easy knowing
You're the kind of man
Who's kind of girl could maybe give her hand
So sweet man in your sweet misery
Lie upon my temporary sea
Love's dressing, I will adorn
To my side your absence be thorn
And I'll rock you gently to sleep
Tonight is one promise we both can keep
While the moon's full over Austin
And the thieves all steal below
And only the moon bears witness
To my hotel angel
Through the window
Hotel Angel
Through the window

Morning Song

Let the phone ring, let's go back to sleep
Let the world spin outside our door, you're the only one that I wanna see
Tell your boss you're sick, hurry, get back in I'm getting cold
Get over here and warm my hands up, boy, it's you they love to hold
And stop thinking about what your sister said
Stop worrying about it, the cat's already been fed
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed

Put the phone machine on hold
Leave the dishes in the sink
Do not answer the door
It's you that I adore -
I'm gonna give you some more

We'll sit on the front porch, the sun can warm my feet
You can drink your coffee with sugar and cream
I'll drink my decaf herbal tea
Pretend we're perfect strangers and that we never met...
My how you remind me of a man I used to sleep with
that's a face I'd never forget
You can be Henry Miller and I'll be Anais Nin
Except this time it'll be even better,
We'll stay together in the end
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed

Chorus:
Put the phone machine on hold
Leave the dishes in the sink
Do not answer the door
It's you that I adore -
I'm gonna give you some more

My Valentine

Written by Jewel Kilcher and Steve Poltz
Transcribed by Bob Hedman, Angel Needs a Ride

I can see you
And I can hear you
Private conversations rattle 'round in my head
Like marbles in a can
You're the only one I hear
And I can touch you
And I can feel you
Picture perfect postcards of your face are in my brain
And they slowly fade like a movie or a passin' train

Do ya do ya wanna
Will ya will ya always be
Unfettered and free
Just come towards me baby
Say you'll always be my valentine

The clouds are soft
As cotton balls
As we slowly descend from this metal tube above
Well I wish I could dive up
Flutter into your arms
And I'm impressed
By the way that you digress
Pretending that your styrofoam is just a cromosome
When X meets the Ybr> When we make love I could die

Do ya do ya wanna
Will ya will ya always be Unfetted and free
Just come towards me baby
Say you'll always be my valentine

Underneath the golden sea I see your face
I belong to you
You belong to me
I can tell by the way ocean waves
Your eyes are always blue
???????? And you'll be far away
That I love you forever and a day

Do ya do ya wanna
Will ya will ya always be Unfettered and free
Just come towards me baby
Say you'll always be my valentine

My Toothless Valentine

My Fish Family

There's a man on the front porch
Says he's related to me
But lately I'm finding
it hard to believe
This house is filled with
spooks and ghosts
They say they're family
But they are strangers at most

They're strange fishes of the deep blue sea
And absolutely nothing like me
They swim around their little treasure chests
When it comes to loving me they give it their fish best
But it's hard with all those scales
Of good and bad you see (2nd time: Of morality)
They're my fish family
My fish family

They may try and hook me
Or put me in a tank
They may try and book me
For robbing a fish bank
'cause misunderstanding comes easily
But they're blowing bubbles
And I can hardly breathe

And when will they understand
I Just wanna marry a man
Without seaweed in his teeth,
Without barnacle for hair
Without seaweed in his ears
But their fish ears won't hear me
They're my fish family

They're strange fishes of the deep blue sea
And absolutely nothing like me
They swim around their little treasure chests
When it comes to loving me they give it their fish best
But it's hard with all those scales of morality
They're my fish family
My fish family.
