Were Gonna Move

(words & music by vera matson - elvis presley)
Well theres a leak in this old building
Yes, theres a leak in this old building
Well theres a leak in this old building
Were gonna move to a better home
We got no pane in this old window
We got no pane in this old window
We got no pane in this old window
Were gonna move to a better home
Well theres a hole in the roof where the rain pours in
A hole in the floor where it drops right out again
Well theres a leak in this old building
Well theres a leak in this old building
Well theres a leak in this old building
Were gonna move to a better home
Well theres a crack across the ceiling
Yes theres a crack across the ceiling
Well theres a crack across the ceiling
Were gonna find us a better home
Weve gotta stove without a chimney

Wino Junko

Doctor tom is getting on,
All he does is sign his name.
I get things my brainbox sings,
But Ill go down again.
Play with fire, getting higher,
Higher than a nine foot flame.
My soul is pent and sos the rent,
But Ill go down again.
Wino junko cant say no,
Wino junko, eyes aglow.
Pill freak, spring a leak, you cant say no
Till you go down again
This and treat you crazy cat,
Flying sideways once again.
Im in a spin it makes me grin,
But Ill go down again.
Wino junko cant say no,
Wino junko, eyes aglow.
Pill freak, spring a leak, you cant say no
Till you go down again.

Don Juan: Canto the Second

XXIV

The ship, call'd the most holy "Trinidada,"
Was steering duly for the port Leghorn;
For there the Spanish family Moncada
Were settled long ere Juan's sire was born:
They were relations, and for them he had a
Letter of introduction, which the morn
Of his departure had been sent him by
His Spanish friends for those in Italy.XXV

His suite consisted of three servants and
A tutor, the licentiate Pedrillo,
Who several languages did understand,
But now lay sick and speechless on his pillow,
And, rocking in his hammock, long'd for land,
His headache being increas'd by every billow;
And the waves oozing through the port-hole made

Canto the Second

I
Oh ye! who teach the ingenuous youth of nations,
Holland, France, England, Germany, or Spain,
I pray ye flog them upon all occasions,
It mends their morals, never mind the pain:
The best of mothers and of educations
In Juan's case were but employ'd in vain,
Since, in a way that's rather of the oddest, he
Became divested of his native modesty.

II
Had he but been placed at a public school,
In the third form, or even in the fourth,
His daily task had kept his fancy cool,
At least, had he been nurtured in the north;
Spain may prove an exception to the rule,
But then exceptions always prove its worth -—
A lad of sixteen causing a divorce
Puzzled his tutors very much, of course.

Boat Parade

There's a crack in the hull
Where the penitents used to live
There's a crack in the hull
Where the Penitents used to live
And we can make it right if we row all night
Give all that we can give
There's a crack in the hull
Where the penitents used to live

There's a leak in the hold
Where the infantry used to sleep
There's a leak in the hold
Where the Infantry used to sleep
And we can make it right if we roll all night
Baby dust off your knees
There's a leak in the hold
Where the infantry used to be

Little monsters (on the table)
Crazies here to play

Numbers

Praise god, for it was written in numbers
Soon youll know of the great joy we feel
Today day to be able to speak freely
And talk eye to eye
With a small group of americans
We feel that the time has come
For your nation to awaken
To its true spiritual import
And we wish you everything in our power
To that realization
Four mourning doves searching in the park
Saying dont be confused when the night is dark
Eleven white swans swimming in a black lake
Told me keep it real and youll find whos fake
Two cedar trees half submerged in the water
Dont prophesize about sons and daughters
One new master of the form tai chi
Friends of the accuser and the accusee
One pimp using songs as his hussy
Wont be here next year to tell you bout nothing

Nuclear Is Safe? No They Lied To You

A list of non classified nuclear disasters
chalk one up for Chalk River Canada

combined with several operator errors,
led to a major power excursion of more
than double the reactor's rated output
at AECL's NRX reactor” then a big deal.1952

Entrant two Windscale Pile United Kingdom
rating 5 a “Release of radioactive material to
the environment following a fire in a reactor
core.” Toast a good year for nuclear disasters.1957

substantial amounts of radioactive contamination
into the surrounding area.” Radioactive fire.

Cans with evil contents

Sealed cans will not leak.
Empty cans too won’t leak.
Yet sealed cans are risky.
Men gentle to women
Can be either of them.

A Bowl Of Rice

sad, but true...
for so many
people in this world

redemption is
a bowl of rice,
and a tent that doesnt leak...

what do you believe in?
what do you hope for?
do you believe enough
to make an effort?

a bowl of rice,
and a tent that doesnt leak!

The Leaking Roof....

there is no use
repairing the leak of the roof
of this
house

it is raining
let it rain
let the water wet this floor
and the furniture

let us wait when will this dark night
end
when this heavy rain shall stop

on the same leak
we shall see the light that falls
on those wet floors
and furniture

it will show us the truth
