i really appreciate it
maybe not as much as i should

that's great
be sarcastic
see if i care

all right
what's going on
i won't ask you again

hear anything from billy
who?
oh yeah he's okay

thank you for asking
and jennifer?
she appreciates your asking

she was in jail

we should give her a call
ask her how she's doing
she was such a dingbat

what's going on
how's it going

"mom would kill us if she could see us now"

at joe's diner, part 2



i'd think the same thing
i mean, you came all this way
for the chance of a lifetime

right
i tell you what
let's go someplace else

where we can talk
and be more reasonable
in a less heated atmosphere

if you get my drift
this is your best chance
the chance of a lifetime

so let's be reasonable
don't you want to be reasonable
what's that?

you thought what?
that's just talk
i know, i know

"but they should mind their own business"

and stop thinking
about what doesn't concern them

so what do you say
don't overthink this

"we'll find a nice quiet spot"

and be reasonable
that's right, put the gun away
right

at joe's diner, part 1



you thought you seen
to throw away
but let's be reasonable

i'd think the same thing
to throw away
reasonable?

didn't you
just to talk
you didn't come all this way

just to talk
did you
all this way?

didn't you stop and think
sure
just to talk

throw it all away
i know what you think
the chance of a lifetime

you didn't come all this way
reasonable?
i know what you think

put that gun away
sure
put that gun away

put it away
the last of me
i'm a reasonable person

attack: "advise all ships and carriers - target in defense mode"



roses at midnight, part 2



cornflakes are yellow
broccoli is green
vitamin b pills are yellow

nobody likes me
this guy must have thought i was soft
him and his two pals were drunk

with a knife!
snakes are green
drunk as skunks

four good for nothing bums
in an alley last night
nobody ever did nothing for me

you're so pretty
with a knife in your hand
roses are red

no friends at all
you're so pretty

"if anybody asks you"

violets are blue
nobody, nobody at all ever
he said he wanted to fight

"tell them maisie johnson was here but now she's gone"

dogs are yellow
they came at me all at once

all at once
i have no friends
i have no friends



roses at midnight, part 1


with a knife
and no one wanted to fight
roses are red

nobody likes me
but they wanted to fight
four lousy bums

three were drinking wine
spinach is green
four smelly bums

and one wanted to fight
violets are blue
violets are blue all year round

with a knife
in an alley last night
you're a real pretty gal

four no-good bums
in an alley last night
because roses are red

pills are yellow
you're the prettiest gal i ever seen
violets are blue

i have no friends
roses are red in the springtime
spinach is green

in an alley down by the park
this guy came at me
three of them ran away

bigfoot

"this has to be a first"

it had to be this way
come on, say something

you are always so hot to do something
it's not normal
nobody is blaming you

i can't catch a break
always with the excuses
it just happens sometimes

i don't see the connection
you young people
can you feel it

i don't see the connection
it just happens sometimes
no connection at all

oh, bigfoot did it
you can hear his footsteps
young people today

you are wrong
i don't hear anything
anything at all

there is just nothing there
listen
it was just your imagination

it was just your imagination
you think you are so hot
we all have problems

the sorrows of colonel murchison



honour and pride would have deterred him
from melancholy reflexions concerning my unhappy circumstances
honour and pride would have deterred him

but the melancholy reflexions concerning my unhappy circumstances
in the gloom and loneliness which surrounded him
enraged at his insolence

she applied her eloquence to an ill purpose
i have made acquaintance with the best
in the gloom and loneliness which surrounded me

she applied her eloquence to an ill purpose
in the gloom and loneliness which surrounded her
her reputation will not suffer any detriment

such melancholy occasions as the present
this unequal and unexpected assault
by other worthless and nefarious characters

delighted by a young officer
i have made acquaintance with the best
honour and pride would not have deterred me

enraged at his insolence
which had thus exposed her to his rage
this unequal and unexpected assault

enraged at his insolence
in the gloom and loneliness which surrounded him
her reputation will not suffer any detriment

this unequal and unexpected assault
on such melancholy occasions as the present
abandoning yourself to despair

there they go



innocence and incomprehension, part 2



bad roads,cold winds,and threatening clouds
a liberality which sprang from no principle
very agreeable and amusing sometimes

those pitiful, silly friends of yours
a total indifference to the whole business
but a very promising young man

a good deal of sad ostentation
a total indifference to the whole business

"deal with it, catherine, we must get through this day somehow"

a very promising young man
that requires a person of taste

"you know, sometimes i feel - oh, i don't know what i feel!"

those pitiful, silly friends of yours
all flutter and happiness
it was racetime

the event was still more unfortunate
with a fixed and most prejudiced hatred
very agreeable and amusing sometimes

bad roads, cold winds, and threatening clouds
ready to perish with cold
the event was still more unfortunate

very unfortunate indeed
the roads turned to mud
the sad ostentation degenerated into positively pathetic pretension

all flutter and happiness
that required a person of taste
bad roads, cold winds, and threatening clouds

goodbye



innocence and incomprehension, part 1



not merely in her bloom
such a height of self-abnegation as that
his great professional attention to her

from the general drift of his discourse
i was, of course, excluded
as i am no great friend to the mystical

by dint of great muscular exertion
too amusing to be abandoned
with some ridiculous speeches of sorrow and disappointment

"calm yourself,madam, we have no need of dramatics here"

how did you like the master?
she shrunk away from him a little

i was, of course, excluded
too amusing to be abandoned
with the utmost difficulty to restrain my tears

the utmost difficulty to control my pitiful weakness
i am no great friend to the mystical
but his great professional attention to her

"ring for the maid, please, get her some water"

shrinking away from him a little
i was, of course, excluded

too amusing to be abandoned
i was, of course, excluded
how did i like the master?

such a depth of self-abnegation as that
i am no great friend to the mystical
i am no great friend to the mystical

(she softly withdrew from the chamber)
