1.	Sober - Even If It's Dirt 02:34	lyrics	download
Spent my nights in pursuit My days in regret Running through the means and reasons to forget Don't come round And tell me what you've heard No one knows it better all the things that I deserve There's a freedom that comes from knowing your worth Even if it's dirt Don't make that face Anyone can see We can't all be winners and that's ok with me Just let go Forget about me My story should have ended in that desert overseas There's a freedom that comes from knowing your worth Even if it's dirt What kind of fortune Could I be worthy of I've squandered every head start and spoiled every love They're invisible things These lives that we lead Our greatest value lies between the soil and the seed There's a freedom that comes from knowing your worth Even if it's dirt There's a peace that comes from knowing your worth Even if it hurts

Verse 1 Girl, once upon a time I was smooth I’d take you out wining dining to impress you But I’m versatile now that I’ve walked you down the aisle There’s a new guy who you get to meet Already swept you off your feet So pass the broom I’ll sweep the floor If I’m with you it’s not a chore Chorus Pleasure to meet you You’re lookin at a new man I’m not your boyfriend Cuz now I’m your husband, yeah I am your husband Verse 2 I swear, if I’m around then you will never Need to worry bout emptying the dishwasher And let me tell you all about our joint checking account And how there’s nothing that is half as fun As going on a Costco run Or changing diapers when they stink Then scouring the bathroom sink Chorus Pleasure to meet you You’re lookin at a new man I’m not your boyfriend Cuz now I’m your husband, yeah I am your husband Bridge To be the man that I love, you betta be gettin rid of All of ya childish and wildest romantic dreams Wake up familiarize ya self with these domestic machines Ya queen don’t need a bouquet she needs to spend the whole day Just relaxin, baskin, in somethin loose-waisted Home cooked dishes better than she ever tasted Husband? Okay we made a pact I need a new man, a true man, and that’s a fact, word Chorus Pleasure to meet you You’re lookin at a new man I’m not your boyfriend Cuz now I’m your husband, yeah I am your husband
3.	Also In Blue - Pleasure To Meet You 03:30	lyrics	download
Ask for introductions, and I’m coming up short; Oh Lord, save my face. I’m content to be the person that the party ignores, And I’ve always been that way. I come from a long line of loners; I’ve never been good at making friends. It’s a pleasure to meet you; I’m so sorry. First impressions are hard... Let’s start again. A handshake, a hello, a nervous reply. My mouth is full of marbles, and my throat has gone dry. I’ve never been good at conversation. I’ve always been bad at reaching out... It’s a pleasure to meet you; I’m so sorry. I can’t get my foot Out of my mouth. I’m standing in the corner, staying out of the way It shouldn’t be this hard to find the right thing to say You’re looking for connection - I’m looking away… Ask for introductions, and there’s nothing to tell. I stammer and I stutter and I’m flustered as hell. I’m getting so tired of overthinking… I wish I could get out of my head! It’s a pleasure to meet you; I’m so sorry. First impressions are hard… Let’s start again.
4.	Jon Porobil - My Name Is Jon 03:19	lyrics	download
You know, I never hit rock bottom But I wish I had I never lacked for health or food or shelter I should be glad What would remain of me if all those little luxuries were gone My name is Jon and I’m an addict (Hi, Jon) After every satisfaction It’s like, “What’s next?” I’ve eaten junk, blacked out drunk Sabotaged close friendships with sex The night before a deadline I’ll play games on my computer until dawn My name is Jon and I’m a liar (Hi, Jon) I never even touched the hard stuff Can’t even picture what it’d do to me No pleasure ever adds up to enough To make it through to me Suppose she wakes tomorrow knowing I don’t deserve her grace? What vices will I turn to when she can’t even Look me in the face? I won’t argue with the splinters of guitars across the lawn When justice catches up to me for my unconscionable con Will I look back and have to wonder, God, what was I even on? My name is Jon and I’m an addict (Hi, Jon)

I lacked confidence now I am in your face I had no ambition now I’m here to win the race I used to drag my heels now I walk through fire I used to be an honest man now I am a liar I lacked confidence now I am in your face I had no ambition now I’m here to win the race I used to drag my heels now I walk through fire I used to be an honest man now I am a liar

Do you see the shade I throw? My fluorescence is a blinding light Together we’re like Michelangelo-oh A hero in a half pan Colouring the fight We take flight Shine so bright What you see before your eyes Isn’t all that’s there The picture that I paint Is only half a prayer Reflected on the wall you’ll see What’s not on show It’s a hot hot hot Hot Pink Halo Do you like the way I flow? My bloom casts a heady spell They call me Opera Rose-ose-ose A hero in the half light After a brush with Raphael Oh can you tell? Draw a parallel What you see before your eyes Isn’t always there The picture that I paint Is only half a prayer Reflected on the wall you’ll see What’s not on show It’s a hot hot hot Hot Pink Halo of light that moves Along with you A shape shifting shadow showing Something that’s true When you look beyond the edges There’s a telltale glow It’s a hot hot hot Hot Pink Halo Like everything else We cannot last One day we’ll fade Nothing’s colourfast The chroma slips away The notes die down And what’s left to say What you see Isn’t there It’s half the prayer What’s not What’s not on show Is a hot A Hot Pink Halo of light that moves Along with you A shape shifting shadow showing Something that’s true When you look beyond the edges There’s a telltale glow I’m a hot hot hot Hot Pink Halo
9.	Melody Klein - My Name Is Melody 06:18	lyrics	buy track
My name is Melody and I'm a music chick I spend every moment listening to it Both when I'm awake and when I go to bed Except for when I write my own instead My name is Melody, I'm a lesbian girl I simply love it when they make me twist and twirl Little euphemisms, hiding meaning in them But I confess, I'm into BDSM My name is Melody, I'm as submissive as they come Even without a loved one to which I can succumb It's a significant part of who I am A masochistic rope bunny who comes pre-tamed My name is Melody, I love tabletop games It's my main hobby, and I have a lot of them I'm very selective about which games I play Mostly deck building, abstracts, and ones where tiles are layed My name is Melody, and I love amusement parks Get me talking rollercoasters opens Pandora's Box Thrilling flat rides are also not to be ignored But I don't get the hype for Disney, and never have before My name is Melody and I'm a musical-control-freak So please don't send me your songs or your links I really prefer to discover music on my own I hear plenty all the time, I don't need to be shown My name is Melody, and that's all there is to know, The song is nearly over, it's almost time for me to go But I should also mention that I am pretty smart And I smoke too much hookah, like a lot

It’s the need to struggle that’s keeps me strong” PRE CHORUS If you play it by the rules they set You will be beaten in the end The wheel is weighted The dice are stacked To ensure you stay exactly where you’re at CHORUS We all know Dave And Dave can’t be stayed Competes for the moment And wins for the day We all know Dave We all know Dave And Dave is OK MIDDLE 8 Few things are certain But we’re born and we die And it’s our choice If we aim for the sky Fear is the enemy That stalks you within You’ll never see the ending If you don’t where to begin So come everybody And be like Dave You have to swim in the ocean If you’re gonna catch a wave By shaking and hiding And sitting on the shore You forsake all the things That you are anxious for

Hey my name's stinky I'm dark brown like I'm inky Thrice as long as your pinky Could be fun if you're kinky I'm a turd, what's the word Call me guano when I'm from a bird On the floor of the chicken coop Call me dung or call me poop Don't be mean and don't be fickle Ice cold, now I'm poopsicle Push it down, spin me round Gush of water, you flush me down Take a trip to the loo Don't be shy it's only poo Nothing can hold me back From the hole within the crack I'm a piece of shit! I'm a piece of shit! I decompose and fertilize In the pasture drawing flies I'm the one plants love the most Break me down, I'm good compost Coffee make me bust a move Fiber makes me nice and smooth Laxatives accelerate That primal urge to defecate Number two means I'm the sequel Extra brown and extra fecal I don't care what you heard Shit is not a dirty word Come on chart me on the Bristol If I'm a bullet your butt's a pistol There's not much left to introduce Here's a namedrop, I'm the deuce I'm a piece of shit!

26.	Boffo Yux Dudes - Half Step Away 03:23	lyrics	download
Half Step Away by Boffo Yux Dudes We know we're just a bunch of dorks Who met slumming in upstate New York No one laughs at any of our jokes And that's why we're all constantly broke Seriously folks We like to use old technology Quadrophonic synths in our comedy We try our best and we do our part Half-step away from bad performance art It isn't too smart We're the Boffo Yux Dudes We often write songs when we're stewed We may annoy but we're not rude Hope by the judges we aren't screwed Tossing a bad pun or archaic quote Dulcimer tones from a Tuvan throat We think outside of the cardboard box 'cause our brains are short more than a few blocks. More than a few blocks We're the Boffo Yux Dudes No talent but no attitude We overflow with lamitude We just might be just a bit unglued We've done this now for years And it's just as we feared We do not seem to wise up Although you may despise us We're just too pig headed to shut up now. We're the Boffo Yux Dudes We often write songs when we're stewed We may annoy but we're not rude Hope by the judges we aren't screwed
27.	Lichen Throat - King of the Gnomes 03:03	lyrics	download
I live underground Under the rocky mound In this sunless hall. I’m just three feet tall. I’m friends with the hedgehogs And with the bullfrogs. I dig in the earth; I’m known for my mirth. I’m the king of the gnomes In these dim catacombs, And I sit on my miniature throne. Six centuries old, With a scepter of gold, Don’t let your words be too bold. You may think I’m weird, With my long white beard, With my bulbous nose, And my stubby toes. If you call me a dwarf, I’ll spit on your floor. If you mock my size, I’ll stab you in the thigh. I’m the king of the gnomes In these dim catacombs, And I sit on my miniature throne. Six centuries old, With a scepter of gold, Don’t let your words be too bold. King of the gnomes, king of the gnomes, King of the gnomes, king of the gnomes. With my hefty girth, I dug in the earth, For the gold and gems In my diadem. When I play a joke On you larger folk, Don’t get incensed When it’s at your expense. I’m the king of the gnomes In these dim catacombs, And I sit on my miniature throne. Six centuries old, With a scepter of gold, Don’t let your words be too bold.

I started life in a barley field A flowing stream A hop bine sings Saccharomyces cerevisiae by the billions The grain mill cracks me up The hot water sooths my soul Makes my starchy personality sugar sweet And off to the kettle I go I might be that crazy hazy everybody loves Or that strong stout aged in an big oak cask Or a funky sour joker living in a foeder Or a pale beauty you just want it to last I can be hoppy, crushable, approachable and sessionable I am beer Light the fire, I get my wort boil on Sixty minutes to rid me of my sins Then it’s off to the fermenter I go But first a quick chill and some oxygen I sit for days, fermenting wort into beer Partying with a few hundred billion of my freaky yeasty friends Munching on sugar, laughing gas Puking alcohol and procreating too I might be that crazy hazy everybody loves Or that strong stout aged in an big oak cask Or a funky sour joker living in a foeder Or a pale beauty you just want it to last I can be hoppy, crushable, approachable and sessionable I am beer When you pop open that can And pour me into a glass Take in my color and thick foamy head Enjoy my essence, my passion at last I might be that crazy hazy everybody loves Or that strong stout aged in an big oak cask Or a funky sour joker living in a foeder Or a pale beauty you just want it to last I can be hoppy, crushable, approachable and sessionable I am beer I can be hoppy, crushable, approachable and sessionable I am beer I can be hoppy, crushable, approachable and sessionable I am beer
29.	Little Bobby Tables - I'm The One 01:52	lyrics	download
I’m the one behind the phone I’m all alone, in my very own contraption Check me out - no wait, I’m busy A little dizzy with distraction I’m the one I know it feels a little stupid (I’m just speaking for myself here) I can’t believe how far we’ve come (We’re so much closer to the edge) It’s not a wedge between us It’s just the way we’ve seen us Maybe a hive mind, or just dumb I’m the one behind the phone I’m all alone, in my very own contraption Check me out - no wait, I’m busy A little dizzy with distraction I’m the one You know I lived through all the nineties (Yes, I know I’m well preserved) I can’t believe you kids these days (You punks all got what we deserved) Why can’t you stand beside us Just fucking go outside, it’s Just not that hard to get away Or have we all become this way? I’m sure that I don’t know ‘cause I’m the one

31.	Menage a Tune - Mostly I'm Just Me 02:04	lyrics	download
Sometimes I’m just a grandma, sometimes a mom and wife I live in north Virginia; and have for most my life Sometimes I’ve been a teacher, in a college or in school Sometimes I’m a face painting clown, but I am no ones fool Sometimes I am an artist, I work with paint and clay I’m always starting new things; it’s how I fill my day These days I’m into resin, But I’m certain you’ll agree No matter what I get up to- mostly I’m just me Mostly I’m just me! Mostly I’m just me! I start more than I finish, true But mostly I’m just me! I used to be a soldier, learned how to shoot a gun Was stationed off in Germany, and had a lot of fun Sometimes I’ve been a lady in a castle on the Rhine In fancy dresses which I’ve made While having a great time Sometimes I am an actress, performing on a stage You might have seen me on TV, or else a YouTube page. I’ve also worked with make up, I do FX you see I’ve made and been a zombie- but mostly I’m just me Mostly I’m just me! Mostly I’m just me! I’ve done a lot of things so far But mostly I’m just me! Mostly I’m just me! Mostly I’m just me! It’s nice to meet you- I’m JoAnn And mostly I’m just me!

If I think Therefore I am Never held a though What was I Never ever ever Had a plan Got to make it up One day at a time La di da da...........

36.	Hutch - Mountain Home Blues (SHADOW) 03:16	lyrics	download
I was born in Denver, near the Rockies so fair Atop the Great Divide, you breathe the sweet mountain air I've got the "blue as Rocky Mountain skies in summer" blues Got a job in western Virginia, just talkin' on the phone The pay is good. I finally got a place of my own I got the "telephone ringing sounds like cash register dinging" blues When first I saw the Appalachians, I saw they were the real deal, They're real, live mountains. No, they ain't just hills. I got the "deep in the mountains that aren't the right mountains" blues I loved a Colorado girl, the sweetest in the state But when I moved away from there, she said she couldn't wait Then I got the "baby left me when I moved away from Colorado" blues So now I'm tryin'a find a lady and I'm tryin'a find a friend And I'm tryin'a find a baby who has got some time to spend But I got the "seems like no one's available in this whole town" blues The sun is high; the mountains all around Everybody's got somebody in this town. I got the "deep in the southern Appalachian Mountain summer" blues
37.	All the Robots - All the Robots (SHADOW) 01:57	lyrics	download
Sunrise over a crimson lake It’s the dawn of a brand-new day All the Robots are now awake It’s the dawn of a brand-new day Time to follow some brand-new rules All the Robots are here to stay Time to follow some brand-new rules Time’s a-wasting, there’s much to do All the Robots are more than tools Time’s a-wasting, there’s much to do Get ye moving, for goodness’ sake All the Robots are watching you Get ye moving, for goodness’ sake Let’s not add to the crimson lake All the Robots are now awake All the Robots are now awake
