I Love You (For Now)
03:28
|

|
You're the loveliest girl that
I have ever met (so far)
I wake up next to you each day,
we never wanna be apart
Let’s neglect all of our friends
There can be no doubt about it
The more time we spend together
the faster we’ll burn out
(Right now,) I love your face
and your perfect little smile
In the heat of this passion
let’s get married (for a little while)
I love you (for now)
I love you (for now)
I’ll get fat and you will too
We’ll look back at all the time we spent
I’ll look at you and realize
familiarity breeds contempt
So before that happens
let’s sign some legal documents
‘cause if there’s one thing our love needs
it’s involvement from the government
Flames will burn higher and higher
until we run out of fuel for the fire,
In the heat of this passion
let’s get married (for a little while)
I love you (for now)
I love you (for now)

The Art of Negativity
02:55
|

|
My friend’s gripes are clever,
they’re dry and witty.
He’s perfected the art
of negativity.
But he’s a drag to be around
All this bickering is bringing me down
All you do is complain
about things you have control to change.
Mary got yet another job
it’s a whole new career
But she hates her new boss
as much as last year’s
She’s a drag to be around
All this bickering is bringing me down
All you do is complain
about things you have control to change.
And if you get to be old
and in constant pain
You may then appreciate
this was your golden age
you’ve got it better
than most people in history
your whiney problems
are of no interest to me
Bobby's barbs are wicked,
spiteful and shitty
He’s perfected the art
of negativity.
And he’s a drag to be around
All this bickering is bringing me down
All you do is complain
about things you have control to change.

Pray For You
03:36

I feel good
I did my part
You’re still sick?
Well, bless your heart
Can’t be bothered
to send relief
It’ll all get better
‘cause of my beliefs
I prayed for you
my job is done
it made me feel better
and that’s enough
It wasn’t your skill
that saved the plane
it was all because
they called out His name
It wasn’t your skill
that reattached my foot
It was the prayer I read
from the holy book
I prayed for you
my job is done
you lost your house
but the Ravens won
Why did Consuelo pass away,
even though we prayed and prayed?
Don’t ask questions. It was part of his plan
Don’t look for answers that we can’t understand.
I feel good
I did my part
You’re still sick?
Well, bless your heart
Thank you, Jesus
for the parking space,
I guess that starving child
just didn’t say Grace
I prayed for you
my job is done
Now I’ll go out,
and have some fun

Dead Inside
02:32
|

My mother called up & said my old dog died
I just listened while she bawled & cried
My girl just left me for another guy
I went about my business 'cause I'm dead inside
I'm dead inside, dead inside
A rusty old battery, I'm dead inside
Dead inside, Dead inside
You can’t start me up because I'm dead inside.
I walk around emotionless every day
People often ask me how I got this way
I remember a time when I could cry
I reached a certain point and then my tears just dried
I'm dead inside, dead inside
I can't feel a thing because I'm dead inside
Dead inside, Dead inside
You should have met me years ago, I’m dead inside
I went to the doctor said I can't feel a thing
he looked me over, outside and in
Doctor said I’m fine, but the doctor lied,
What he couldn’t tell me was I’m dead inside.
I'm dead inside, dead inside
I can't feel a thing because I'm dead inside
Dead inside, Dead inside
I’m just a fresh cadaver, I am dead inside
I read about the plane that crashed into the sea
but that sort of thing has no effect on me
some call me jaded, others say I’m snide
but I just think it’s ‘cause I’m dead inside.
I'm dead inside, dead inside
I’m filled up with novacane I'm dead inside
Dead inside, Dead inside
Just a burned out oak tree, I am dead inside

Stagnant Man
03:10
|
|||
|
At the bar last night you asked how he's doing
I roll my eyes and say, “He's right where you left him”
Same old job, same situation
Stuck in the mud, like a sunken foundation
He's a stagnant man
He is a stagnant man
He said, "I'll do what I can
to stay right where I am."
Stagnant man
He is a stagnant man
He's right where he began
'cause he's a stagnant man
He's a car in a ditch without a transmission
Tornadoes touch down, he's in the same position
Fear of change, transposition
Tropophobia is the definition
I saw you again. You asked how he's doing
I just laughed and said, “He's right where you left him”
Same old job, same situation
Stuck in the mud, like a sunken foundation
Stagnant man
He is a stagnant man
He's right where he began
'cause he's a stagnant man
Stagnant man
He is a stagnant man
He says, “I’m happy
Right where I am”

Rainy Day Women #13 & 36

Look up to the sky. It’s a beautiful day
Lift your spirits high. Throw your cares away
Clouds are clearing, Bells are ringing
Fog is lifting, Children singing
We’re all alone, but it’s OK
We’re all alone, but it’s OK
We’re all alone, but it’s OK
There's no such thing as god
There ain’t no heaven, There ain’t no hell.
There ain’t no sin, but it’s just as well
You don’t need God, just the golden rule
Do unto others as you’d have them do to you.
We’re all alone, but it’s OK
We’re all alone, but it’s OK
We’re all alone, but it’s OK
There’s no such thing as God!
Ain’t no JESUS!
There ain’t no Saints
No holy ghost
and no God’s grace
Ain’t no afterlife,
destiny or fate
No day of judgement
is coming... your way
No one knows where we came from
But let’s not just make something up like
Allah, Shiva, and Xenu
Zeus, Yoda, and Buddha too
We’re all alone, but it’s OK
We’re all alone, but it’s OK
We’re all alone, but it’s OK
When you die, you’re dead and gone!
We’re all alone, but it’s OK
We’re all alone, but it’s OK
We’re all alone, but it’s OK
There’s no such thing as god!

Pride & Shame Baltimore, Maryland
Pride & Shame are a different species with the ability to forage for melodies among thorny guitars. They evolved to create their version of The Who's Tommy or Bowie's Ziggy Stardust. A retro-futuristic space-rock opera, Mission To Mars is as focused as it is eclectic. Lush orchestral jungles with oases of harmony, gritty guitars and slithering acoustics tell the story. ... more
Pride & Shame recommends:
It features our very own, Rick Bowman!
