Richard Burton
Gather around
Yeah we haven’t got all night!
Laugh like the whole world is playing
You must laugh if you don’t there’ll be fear
When you’re tasked with the taste of a flavour
You’ve never had before
Dialogue
Why don’t you put a room around it (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
Who went and put a room around me (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
Why don’t you put a room around it (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
Ladies and gentleman
Our performance this evening
Is completely sold out!
Richard never gave to anyone
He was a piece of shit to everyone
I was told to follow Richard Burton
All he did was cause such pain and hurtin’
Tear me apart at least gimme a try
I’ll make it easy for you
Baby I wanna die
Wipe the Pennie Moore off your face
And get in the fucking car Saggy Maggy
Richard please!
It’s like he never needed anyone
But now he needs us more than anyone
It’s like he never needed anyone
I am not afraid of what goes on in the room
I am not afraid, afraid of you
I am not afraid of what goes on in the room
I am not afraid, afraid of you
Alright, listen up
You’re going to do everything I say
Why?
Because I’m Richard fucking Burton that’s why
Richard was a dizzy man when he came into my room
Lost twirling in rude circle so defined
And as a crowd of angry people eating ordinary food
Thought Richie had completely lost his mind
And he had!
You gotta tear him down
Just to build him up to make him stronger
You gotta twist and pull
Just to make him fit the shape you need
You gotta break his mind you gotta take his time
You gotta make em jump and fly tonight
You gotta dig the hole
But Richies gotta plant the seed
When Richard turned around you see
A misstep mistook his place
A palish faded ghost is what he found
And on each side of the Montague
His family’d been erased
A penance for the nothing that was found
A radical vindictive piece of shit style kind of man
Never did do any good for anyone
So Richie lost his family but he’d always had the plan
To blow his fucking head off when it was done and it was
You gotta tear him down just to make him feel like he’s needed
You gotta him every fucking thing for free
You gotta twisted mind all of the time
I’d fake romance to make you mine
That’s all that’s it for Richie and me!

TRUMP!!!

It’s gotta be Donald it’s gonna be Hillary
Gotta be Hillary gonna be Donald
It’s gotta be Donald it’s gonna be Hillary
Gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be Trump!
I read the news it was all on my phone
And all of the headlines said
This ain’t a mistake no our polls they have shown
That Hillary’s chances are dead
Then said the red headed fool I have come to rule
And the kingdom was brought to tears
So brush up your comb king red is at home
And it’s his for the next 4 years
You can’t do this job cause
When you lie it makes me sick
You can’t start a riot
Then act like a goddamned lunatic
Trump! (Hah, hah, hah, hah)
He made a vow like his head was on fire
But the kingdom wasn’t sure they could trust
So he made lemonade that was so strong and sour
That everyone started to rust (oh yeah)
He built up a wall that was built up so tall
But the wall was only in his head
And as he made up the rules his kingdom of fools
Believed every word that he’d said
You can’t do this job
(Trump two, three, four)
(Trump two, three, four)
(Trump two, three, four, Trump!)
If you are a lunatic
(Trump two, three, four)
(Trump two, three, four)
(Trump two, three, four, hah, hah, hah, hah!)
So maybe it’s you that stars to believe
In things that can’t possibly be true (Can’t possibly be true)
Like the deniance in lies against science and why’s
That say this can’t possible be true (Can’t possibly be true)
Take a moment just to breath in your brain (Your brain)
And give this all just a look (Give it a look)
Is it sane to believe in everything
As it moves through the lips of a crook? (I don’t think so)
We have to keep winning
We have to win more
America is totally unstoppable
And we will make America great again
But is there truth into somethings that he’s saying?
But what half of your kingdom fails to realize
Is that Trump is not just a man
No king red has acquired great wealth with great power
But he has no plan
Ahh, Trump, Trump (Did he incite a riot?)
Trump, Trump (Did he build a tall wall)
Trump, Trump (Did someone steal the election?)
Ahh, will we ever really know at all?
So maybe it’s you that stars to believe
In things that can’t possibly be true (Be true)
Like the deniance in lies against science and why’s
That say this can’t possible be true (Be true)
Take a moment just to breath in your brain
And give this all just a look
Is it sane to believe in everything
As it moves through the lips of a crook?
Hey!
Oh, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh, Trump!

The devil looks right
He won’t be giving any reasons
And the devil eats pie
Before he gets back home
And if the devil sees his god
In his mind he’ll be screaming
But he won’t know why
Now is it my fault she died
In a narrow bed screaming
For what seemed to me
Like a very long time
Then one day daddy cried
Cause he knew that she was leaving
But we had believed
So he didn’t know why
You ain’t gotta
You ain’t gotta
You ain’t gotta tell me now
You ain’t gotta

WTF Is Happiness???
03:34
|

|
WTF is happiness?
I wanna know
That when love comes
And then it leaves again
Tell me where does it go?
And where does all the energy
That we both made with our minds go?
Does it find it’s way to somewhere else?
Somewhere out there in space through time
Just tell me WTF is happiness
If you have got the time
Let it know if it returns
I wouldn’t mind
WTF is happiness?
And are all my good days gone?
Like when life was fun and we both did things
That all seems to me to be just gone
Somewhere along this road I lost my way
And I can’t find the right lane back
I keep trading ghosts for certain mysteries
Or I just fucking suck at keeping track
Oh tell me WTF is happiness
If you have got the time
Let it know if it returns
I wouldn’t mind
When time takes us apart
Like it always does to me
Will you still of us
And how it used to be?
I’m lonely
Yeah I’m lonely
God please help me cause I’m lonely
Help me cause I am
Tell me WTF is happiness
If you have got the time
Let it know if it returns
I wouldn’t mind
Tell me WTF is happiness
If you have got the time
Let it know if it returns
Robbie wouldn’t mind
No Robbie wouldn’t mind
No Robbie wouldn’t mind

Next To Me
03:02
|

|
Oh you I’ve seen you before
Too many times too many times
Too many but this time
I’m not going to leave you here
Do you hear me? No!
No, I want you here next to me
Yeah no I want you here next to me
Silent of the night
We were dreaming under covers
Fading veil of night
Was closing in on these two lovers
Shining came the light
To my eyes like never before
Yeah I want you here next to me yeah (To me, to me, to me, to me)
Yeah I want you here next to me oh (To me, to me, to me, to me)
Yeah I want you here next to me oh
Like never before
The lights glow down as I stroll into
The same damn room that you’re in too
My eyes had closed my eyes half crossed
My eyes ain’t sad they’re just pissed off
I’d wrap my hands around your neck
And squeeze them until I choke you to death
But that seems like a waste of time at best
I can’t even tell you how I feel
You burned my soul and it won’t heal
And now I feel like crying
Yeah I want you here next to me
Yeah
My head tips down from the weight of my eyes
This sour soul melts into a puddle of why’s
The only reason here that I had to be
Was when you were around to set me free
I’d wrap my arms around your back
And squeeze you close until you crack
Now is that the way of lust or a fact
I can’t even tell you how I feel
You burned my soul and it won’t heal
Ooo, ooo, ooo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooo, ooo, ooo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Two Boys I
04:08

Well she didn’t know what we were up to
And we sorta didn’t know as well
But I could feel it and in your eyes I could see it
That you could feel it as well
We became the best of friends
In my last year of high school
And in the end we became more than friends
But I guess that was too much for you, too much for you
I was 17 when I fell hard in love with you
Still really didn’t know then who I was
Your face and personality so fell in love with me
And I fell head for heels or for you
I was 17 when I fell hard in love with you
Still really didn’t know then who I was
Your face and personality so fell in love with me
And I fell head for heels or for you
Why can’t you say you love me?
Why can’t you let me know?
Who cares if they don’t get it?
You know I love you so
Why can’t you say you love me?
Why can’t you let me know?
Who cares if they don’t get it?
You know I love you so
I lie awake at night and think of you
No one else in this world compares to you
But I will go on alone because I do
I will go on alone because I love you
Even though I don’t want you to go
Away from me away from this one who loves you
So I will hold you until you must leave
But when you’re gone what’ll be left of me?
If you don’t love me then just say when
We’ll never sleep in the same bed again
Are we keeping secrets from each other or our hearts?
I know you feel it too what I feel
I’ve felt it from the start
And I could feel it, I could feel it
I know that you could feel it too

Truth Be Sold
04:07

I felt alone
In a room with plenty of people
As I stared at the form
And design of so many people
I drive my car
And are the passionate freeway
I strive to go far
But I’m still in my driveway
Truth be sold
A design that you’ve lost control
That you can no more
Resist the caress of gold
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Truth be sold
You’ve destroyed your beautiful soul
And you can no more be trusted
Sweet LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!
LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!
LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!
LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!
Look out for me

Look out for me (Look out, look out, look out)
Look out for me (Look out, look out, look out)
Look out for me (Look out, look out, look out)
Look out for me (Look out, look out, look out)
If you don’t even love me
Then why the hell should?
Take tru belief in justice
When all I see are your lies
Falling from the sky is not a portrait
And you are not a bird
And a lie is not important
Only if you believe all the things you’ve heard
Shaga-looga-ga-gon!
Sha-ga-looga-bon!

Die Diana Please
02:13

Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana please
Well everyone's waiting
To see what she brings
As she hurries herself home for fools
No one can contain
What is ill in her brain
Or to know what
She’s keeping from you
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana
It’d be easy as cake
I mean to eat one not make
Feathered birds flying high all around
Ka, ka, coo!
Simply divine tasting frosting is fine
While wearing a Kennedy crown
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana please
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana please
And if you won’t die
I will wait then
And try to see you
And if you can’t die
And it isn’t a lie
I’ll believe you
But if somewhere you
Happen to mention at all
That you prefer frosting and fudge flavours
All of the time
Time, time, time, time
Time, time, time, time
Will you bend for the break
Of the maniac man
Holding 100 poison jelly beans in his hand
It’s for real
Diana it’s real
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana please
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana please

Hey! Over here!
Over where? Over here!
I had an eerie feeling
The moment I met you
It was the clearest feeling
And I fell for you
Relax now it’ll be okay
Do you want to live in the city as no man?
You make me feel uneasy
I might be in love with you
I wonder if you can feel me
And how does that feel to you
Relax pal it’s be okay
Relax pal it’s be okay
I was too lost for feeling
Good for any reason
Too tall to tell my time
Was running out
And it was to loud to hear you
And not enough people tried to
To do what they should be doing
To do what they should be doing
To do what they should be doing
To do what they should be doing
It was just that kind of dance
It was just this kind of show
The stagehand gave me direction
Still I had no idea where to go
There’s tape stuck on this floor in places
The same tape that’s on these shoes
There isn’t much time left for general graces
But lemmie see what I can do for you
But is it really up to me?
Is it really up to me?
Is it really up to me?
Or is it up to you?
Deep inside I’ll need a reason
To stick around while you’re not here
Dialogue
La, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, da
Relax now you’ll be okay
I was too lost for feeling
Good for any reason
Too tall to tell my time
Was running out
And it was to loud to hear you
And not enough people tried to
To do what they should be doing
To do what they should be doing
To do what they should be doing
Relax now you’ll be okay
Relax now you’ll be okay
Relax now you’ll be okay
Relax now you’ll be okay
Oh I was too lost for feeling
Good for any reason
Too tall to tell my time
Was running out
And it was to loud to hear you
And not enough people tried to
To do what they should be doing yeah
