Wett Lyrics: Opi (2002)

1. The Northern Hemisphere
And I hate to be sore
But it's their fault they're poor
And the G.O.P. knows that they
Don't deserve more
'Cause we need all this stuff
And we know what's enough
We need all this stuff
I'll tell you what's enough
So the forests are going
As long as we're scoring
More oil for cars
But we're locking ourselves behind tangible CO2 bars

And we can't hear her crying
While mother is dying
So we'll set her aside
As the bombs begin flight
So we'll drink to the dregs
While the country, it begs
'Cause we're all being led
By the space between our legs!

2. Suite Georgia Brown (Pt. 1)
Not so long ago, I felt as if I used to know
But where are you now?
Look what they've done to you
I guess it's nothing new
But what can I do?

Can you not "hitt" it, my good man
For Sweet Georgia Brown?
Can you not "hitt" it, my good man?
For the weight drags you down

3. The Charlie Fun Song
I got DSL, a hoo-hoo-hoo
I got a new web page, a hoo-hoo-hoo
I got a Dell computer, a hoo-hoo-hoo
I can register free domain names, a hoo-hoo-hoo

I got DSL, a hoo-hoo-hoo
I got a free domain name, a hoo-hoo-hoo
I got a new Dell computer, a hoo-hoo-hoo

Break it down

4. The Bitches and the Bastards
I just can't stand the bitches and the bastards
Whenever I see them, I try to run much faster
I really l don't care for the bastards and the bitches
The only thing they're good for is doing my dishes

I cannot put up with the bitches and the bastards
All I want to do is cover them with plaster
I don't really like the bastards and the bitches
All I want to do is feed them to the fishes

5. Elvis and His Pelvis
Elvis has a pelvis that he shakes
All the money that he makes
He owes to the pelvis that he shakes
He revolutionized the music business
It was all him, so don't confuse this

Elvis and his pelvis!

People thought he was too obscene
On the TV screen
Shaking his pelvis like a bottle of kerosene
Giving all the mothers the heebie-jeebies
And in some places, he was even banned from TV

Elvis and his pelvis!

6. I'm All High
I don't want to sing about love
I don't want to sing about drugs
I don't want to sing about anything but chug-a-lug-a-lug
Anything but rub-a-dub-a-dub

I don't want to sing about drugs
I don't want to sing about love
I don't want to sing about anything but rub-a-dub-a-dub
Anything but chug-a-lug-a-lug

7. Takes Me Down
Who thought that I'd be smiling now, after all this time?
Who knew that I could be so happy now?
You know it takes a little while to come around
You know it always takes me...
d o w n . . .

Just feel the poetry of silence in your mind
Just stare ahead and don't understand anything
I'm feeling good now for just a little while
You know you always make me...
s m i l e . . .

8. Spanky, the Cheese Moose Goose
When you're sad, and feeling lonely
He'll come through your door
Spanky, the cheese moose goose!

9. Every Time
You say things are different now, but you can't figure out how
Smile wide as you break inside
Begin to live as your body dies
And you know, you let this go, now I feel it

Every time
It's every time

I'll sit still and just let you past, and I'll pray that it won't last
I feel cold, but it's no surprise
I'll just wait for my chest to rise
And you know, you let this go, now you'll feel it

Every time
It's every time

And I know you won't come for me
And I know you won't come...

Look at me, your hair is raised, you look up and you look amazed
Once more, you've been here before
Close your eyes and you take more
And you know, you let this go, now you'll feel it

Every time
It's all of the time

And I know you don't mean it

10. The Easter Bunny
I like the Easter Bunny
He's so sweet, like honey
He comes to my house once a year
And wiggles and jiggles his big ears

He's the Easter Bunny
He's the Easter Bunny
He's the best friend there could be
I love him, just you and me
Whee!

He brings candies of red and green
He brings lots of jelly beans
He's so furry, he has big paws
He's so cuddly, like Santa Claus

He's the Easter Bunny
He's the Easter Bunny
He's the best friend there could be
I love him, just you and me
Whee!

The Easter Bunny is my best friend
Our friendship will never end
He'll come to my house once a year
And wiggle and jiggle his big ears

He's the Easter Bunny
He's the Easter Bunny
He's the best friend there could be
I love him, just you and me
Whee!

12. Kill
Someone's gettin' on your nerves
Just give 'em what they deserve
Someone's givin' you flak
Well, you gotta get 'em back

14. Suite Georgia Brown (Pt. 2)
Can you not "hitt" it, my good man
For Sweet Georgia Brown?
Can you not "hitt" it, my good man
For the weight drags you down

Don't cry, it's not unheard of
I'll see you from above
Just know you are loved

Can you not "hitt" it, my good man
For Sweet Georgia Brown?
Can you not "hitt" it, my good man?
For the weight drags you down

I - Breathe In
I'm the monkey after you
Stick with me, I'll get you through
Your times of trouble or of grief
Please don't think of me a thief
When I take your sanity
Ignorance is healthy
When I find you, just breathe in;
Confide in me, confess your sins

II - And Lose Your Head
Ah, and now I've found you, my good friend
Or is it you've found me instead?
Well you will!
Just relax and lose your head
Did you hear me!?

Hold on to Jane - she'll let you know that I am coming
Don't be surprised to find we monkeys are mind-numbing
Just hold her tight - you know there is no use in running
Did you hear me!?!?

Don't run - you know we'll only find you
Have fun - enjoy it while we bind you
Breathe deep - my flesh wounds aren't that far behind you
DID YOU HEAR ME!?!?

III - Tonight
Hold me, Jane, hold me tight
This monkey will be here tonight

I don't have long before I'm gone
So please, don't let's fight

Oh, Jane, don't call me insane,
With every breath comes his bite

Your words are strong, but I am gone
And we have found love tonight

IV - I Shall Sleep No More
He is after me
Didst thou hear a noise?
I can't escape his sight
A foolish thought to think that I'm all right
I must relax and breathe deeply
The world around me has just shut its door
And, therefore, Mary, we shall sleep no more
Mary, I shall sleep no more!

V - Something Has to Change
Don't ever leave me alone,
'Cause what I do might surprise you
These senseless acts I condone
And they will jeopardize you
Can't get him out of my mind
This monkey's strength will surprise you
Desire's leaving me blind
For Jude will paralyze you

Seek
relief
in pain
and collapse.
Something has to change.

VI - You Won't Stay
Avaunt!
And set me right
Let my veins hide thee
My breaths are perilous;
My blood is cold;
I'd give my mind to have you by my side

I've been a fool
To take your claim
That you could take my life and ease this bane
But you make me strange
You make the blood through my heart seem to flow
And how it jumps to see your face as mine
Without the sanguine tinge upon my cheeks
That, instead, are blanched with fear

I called your bluff
You are the vague portrayal of my fear
You are the saline tide to cleanse my wounds
But augment the pain...

This monkey won't stay
On my shoulder's this way

VII - I'm Declaring War
I finally see
You're all that's left of me
And I suppose these sunken eyes will show

I've said this before
But you don't own me anymore
So help me, Mary, this is an act of war

Wasted all this time to find you
I wish that I had known of all the shit that you would do
One too many nights spent passed out on the floor;
My mind collapsed in two, and not wanting to live anymore

You never helped me, I thought that you should know
That I'm declaring war

And with these words, I'll cast my fears away
Maybe I'll live to see the light of day
It's you or me, but I won't let you stay
This monkey's gone, I'll cast my tears away

VIII - But You Can't Kill What You Can't See
This will be your lucky day
'Cause the acrobatic monkey ninja wants to come and play...

This monkey's made a fool of me
This monkey's made a fool of me
And I was blind but now I see
This monkey's made a fool of me

We all need to get away from here,
Feel Mary's hit to make your conscience cleared away
Mary's here with you
But will she help or will she hurt you?
This monkey's tied you tight
But in the end it's Mary's bite
And you can't kill what you can't see
And this monkey's still after me
So I'm stuck in a prayer, hoping to find him there
Wishing someday I'll be free

We need you and we love you

IX - And You're Never the Same
If only I'd tried, she wouldn't have died
And nor would've I

If only I'd fought, she wouldn't have thought
To leave

But now I've won this senseless war
What have I left to live for?

I took her life
And what meaningless else
It's pain
I'm never the same
You're never the same
