SALAD DAYS
Never mind the things that made you run away
Never mind ... this is the Salad Days
Never mind the things that made you cry all day
Never mind ... this is the Salad Days
Never mind the dignity they took away
Never mind ... this is the Salad Days
Talk - talk - talk about the older days
Talk - talk-- talk about the Salad Days
Talk - talk - talk about the work, no play
Talk - talk - talk about the Judgement Day
Talk - talk - talk about the wrong, wrong way
Talk - talk - talk about the Salad Days

WE HAVE NO NAMES
They give ya no name - for the way they live - and
They give ya no name - for the Love they cannot give
They give ya no name - for what they keep inside - and
They give ya no name - for what they have to hide
Drink away the body - 'till the Soul comes out - and you
Drink away the others - 'till the Self comes tumbling out
Drink away the pain - 'till the Joy comes out - and you
Drink away the lies - 'till the Truth comes tumbling out
What did you want - from men that know only lies?
What did you want - from the men that you despise?
What did you think - they'd do with your life?
What did you think - they would do in this strife?
Why do we live - when we know only pain?
Why do we live - when we all end up insain?
Why do we live - when we cannot gain?
Why do we live - when we cannot use our brain?
Why do we live? We have no names.
Why do we live? We have no names.

THE UNDERSIDE (PART I)
The bowl of cherries: Tumbling down
The house of cards: on the ground
This is the perfect life for you
This is this perfect life for me
Something tells me: This is Wrong
Something tells me: This is Wrong
To live your life in a perfect world
To live your life with a perfect girl
Something tells me: this is Wrong
Something tells me: this is Wrong
Waite for it now: it slips away
Waite for it then: it calls your name

BUKOWSKI'S WOMEN
How can i take another day
- of their lying, their evil ways?
They've taken all my work
- taken all my dough, all my Love away
They don't take No for an answer
- and they don't take Yes today
They don't take the truth very well
- and they don't like to work all day
They don't take credit cards
- in lieu of the cash you try to save
They can't tell why the world spins all around
- and the Sun goes down
They can't tell the difference
- 'tween the day or the night, or the upside-down
They can't tell me why they wan'a live
.- or why they wan'a hang around
You want the false promise
- and the feeling that it's all gon'a be worth while
You want the Big Man
- and the Big, Big Thing that's gon'a make you smile
You're gon'a get it all
- yea, you're gon'a find out why they said "Sieg Heil"
They can't tell me why it's worth' breathing
- or why to even make a sound
They can't tell me why it's worth breathing
- or why to even make a sound

PICTURE HER...
Picture her laughing
- as they point at you
Picture her laughing
- as she makes you cry
Picture her screeming
- as she makes you whine
Picture her: "Angel"
- in the throws of love
Picture her: "Devil"
- as she floats above
Picture her with you
- as she leaves with him
Picture her leave you
as she goes to him
Live for the Anger
that lives for you
Live for the Death
- that makes it worth Life, too
Live for the Anger
- that swallows you
Live for the stranger
- that follows you
Live for her/ Live for him
Live for her/ Live for him
