Big Muff

Excuse me mister, do you have the time?
Or are you so important that it stands still for you.
Excuse me mister, lend me your ear,
Are you not only blind but are you scared to hear?

It's only small town talk;
You know how people are.
They can't stand to see you,
Being who you are.

(Hey young brother, hey young brother,
I'd like you to do me a little favour..)

You saw sagacious Solomon,
And you know what became of him.
To him, complexities seemed plain
But he cursed the hour that gave birth to his bad self.

Cain slew Abel, Seth knew not why.
For if the children of Israel are supposed to multiply,
Why must any children die?
So he asked the Lord.
And the Lord said:

He's got all the whiskey,
He's got all the whiskey;
He's got all the whiskey, still won't give me none.

If I call you sugar, if you call me honey,
Does this mean you've got a hand in my fate.
If you take my money, if I take your liberty,
Does it mean it's all down to love and hate.
If you open doors for me, I'll have the manners to respond;
I'll treat you like mine.
Ah babe, ah baby.

A long time since I saw love in my garden;
A long time since I met love at my door.
Sometimes I thought I knew you,
Sometimes I saw straight through you.
- Lord I hope I never see you no more.

Consider this, consider that, consider this,
You've got to consider this and that;
Consider this, consider this,
Consider this, consider this...

Did you ever look sideways at your best friend's wife?
Ever consider that sweet married life.
Your mind runs riot, you know who you are;
Ever get the feeling that you move too far.

One flash of revelation, may never strike you twice.
One little touch of inspiration, going to sweeten your life.
All the goodness in your secret self,
All the friends that you can call on for help.
All the ways you have to make people cry;
All the ways you have to make yourself try.

She's a little strange
Just a little strange
A little strange...

I would walk a city mile
Just to see that silly smile,
She's a little strange.

Tell me, tell me:
Who are they? Tell me,
Who are they? Tell me,
Who are they to tell you, how to love.

When I was little, they took me to school;
Tried to teach me just how to learn.
Numb you, tell you everything I done on me;
I swear, I had to earn it.
Step it up, step it up;
Step it up, step it up.

Carmine...

Carmine, turn the screw and drive me mad.
Come on, Carmine, everything I touch goes bad.
Oh Carmine, believe I'll catch you when you fall.

She's a lover, that's what she is, natural born.
She's a lover, that's what she is, natural born.
I can tell from a mile away,
She can't keep that smile away from me.
I can tell by everything she says,
That girl's a lover, that girl's a lover.
(She's a lover, she's a lover)

Don't turn on the light
Don't turn on the light
I fear the twilight coming down
I don't want them to know that I am home
