Violent Femmes - Never Tell


Hey, sister, have you heard?
Some people stand like trees without a word
And what that means is that some people don't
Talk

Oh, please, pardon me, mister
You know I just didn't hear you
That first time that you said that
But now that you repeated it for me, I'll be sure to do what I can

You know I'm going to do what I can, do what I can
Do-do-do-do-do what I can
Now do what I can, do what I can
Do-do-do-do-do what I can
But no more, you understand?

Oh, please, pardon me, father
You know, I just didn't hear you
That, that, that, that first time that you said that
But now, but now, but now, but now, but now you repeated it
You repeated it, you repeated it, you repeated it
I'll be sure to do, do, do what I can

Do what I can, do what I can
Do-do-do-do-do what I can
Yeah, do what I can, do what I can
Do-do-do-do-do what I can
But no more, you understand?

It's of utmost importance
We're dealing with volatile substance
It's of utmost importance
We're dealing with volatile substance
It's of utmost importance
We're dealing with volatile substance
I've had so much on my mind
I was so glad when I died

Listen to me, baby
Can you keep a secret for me?
Make sure no one finds out
'Cause then the lights will go out
And I will find you out
And I will cut you up
Don't ask me why because I-I said, I said, I said

I'm gonna do what I can, do what I can
Do-do-do-do-do what I can
Gotta do what I can, do what I can
Do-do-do-do-do what I can
Now do what I can, do what I can
Do-do-do-do-do what I can
I do what I can, do what I can
Do-do-do-do-do what I can
But I'll have none of that, y-you understand?!

Don't you know nothin'?
You never tell on someone
Don't you know nothin'?
You never tell on someone
Don't you know nothin'?
You never tell on someone
Don't you know nothin'?
You ain't never going to tell on someone!

What are you going to do? You gonna turn
You gonna turn rat fink?
What do you wanna do? Do you wanna see
Do you wanna see what it's like to sink?
Sink down, sink down, sink down
Down, down to the bottom of the river
Sink down, sink, sink down, down
Down, down, to the bottom of the river
Sink, down, sink, sink down, down
Down, down to bottom of the river
Sink down, sink, sink down, down
Down, down to the bottom of the river

Don't you know no one?
You never tell on someone
Don't you know no one?
You never tell on someone
Don't you know no one?
You never tell on someone
Don't you know no one?
You ain't never gonna tell on someone

Ah, ah, oh
I'll tell you what it's like
I'll tell you what it's like, oh
I stood right up in the heart of Hell
I never tell
I stood right up in the heart of Hell
I never tell
I stood right up in the heart of Hell
I never tell
I stood right up in the heart of Hell
I'm never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell
I'm n-n-n-n-never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell
Nothing, nothing, never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell
I'm n-n-n-n-never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell
Nothing, nothing, never gonna tell, tell, tell, tell
Ah...

Violent Femmes - I Know It's True But I'm Sorry To Say



I know it's true but I'm sorry to say
Yesterday's a day away
Nothing I could do to make it stay like that
Ain't that a fact?

I know it's true but I'm sorry to say
I just can't handle things this way
I know it's late but I'd like to stay a while
See you smile

Will you meet me in the morning
With the sun fresh on the dew?
Will you meet me in the afternoon
Made just for me and you?
Will you meet me in the evening
When the nighttime starts to crawl?
Will you meet me in the hall?
Will meet me on the wall?
Will you meet me at all?

One more time, one more time
Shaking up and down my spine
Jump a rope or skip a line or two
What can I do?

One more time, one more time
Color flashing neon sign
Advertising a friend of my distraction
Latest attraction

Oh my body has been punished
Lord, I think I've had enough
Oh my body has been punished
With too much and not enough
Oh my body has been punished
And my mind can no longer bluff
My mind is so unkind
My mind is so unkind
It keeps me crying all the time

I know its true but I'm sorry to say
Yesterday's a day away

Violent Femmes - Jesus Walking on Water



Oh my, oh my, oh my, what if it was true?
And oh my, oh my, oh my, tell me is it true?
Did he, did he, did he die upon that cross?
And did he, did he, did he come back across?

Jesus walking on the water, Sweet Jesus walking in the sky.
Sinking sand, took my hand, raised me up, and brought me up,
So I can hold my head up high...

Will I, will I, will I be true to my birth?
And will I, will I, will I give what I'm worth?
Oh, yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir, I come when you call
And, yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir, sweet Jesus, my all-in-all.

Violent Femmes - Hallowed Ground



The prophet is a fool
The spiritual man is mad
For the multitude of thy iniquity
And the great hatred...

Everyone's tryin' to decide where to go
When there's no place to hide
I follow the bombs as they're coming down
This must have been
Hallowed Ground

No matter what they decide to have done
Burn up the clouds
Block out the sun
My hope is in one they can't bring down
My soul is in
Hallowed Ground

I see the fear
It's on the rise
Let's catch the enemy
By surprise

Bury your treasure
Where it can't be found
Bury it deep
In Hallowed Ground
