He's only having problems with his speech and his ummm, oh yeah, memory.
They cut out his brain.
His motor skills still function normally. He will, unfortunately, be unable to testify before the committee.

Did you hear something outside?
It sounded like a gun
Stay away from that window boy
It's not anyone that we know

The Corrugated Lady

Well, I walked and I ran from one end of this land
To the other like an athletic fool
I was fond of playin' tennis with the countesses of Venice
Courtin' princesses in heated swimming pools
Back and forth across the ocean, southern Spain to Nova Scotia
Chasin' women till my face was turning blue
Now my pencil's out of lead, I'll just lay up in bed
With my scissors and my paper and my glue
'Cos a cardboard girlfriend's much to be preferred
To paper lay-ay-dies
I'll take my exercise at home with her
Oh, nothin' could be sweeter than my sweetie when I treat her
Like a dartboard on the wall
That's my great big, corrugated, chipboard paper doll
Instrumental break

[The above first part is sung against the following part]
I'm gonna buy myself a paper doll to call my own
One that other fellows cannot steal
And then, them flirty-flirty guys with their flirty-flirty eyes
Will have to play with dollies that are real
When I come home at night she'll be there waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all the world
I'd rather have myself this paper doll to call my own
Than a big old-minded real time girl

If the sacheting of gentlemen
Gives you grievance now and then
What's needed are some memories of planing lakes
Those planing lakes will surely calm you down
Nothing frightens me more
Than religion at my door
I never answer panic knocking, falling
Down the stairs upon the law
What law?
There's a law for everything
And for Elephants that sing to keep
The cows that agriculture won't allow
Hanky Panky nohow
Hanky Panky nohow oh

The whole damn thing

[Verse 1]
Well I rang up Pantucci
Spoke to Luchi
I gave them all
They needed to know
If affairs are proceeding
As we're expecting
Soon enough
The weak spots will show

I assume you understand that we have options on your time
And will ditch you in the harbour if we must:
But if it all works out nicely
You'll get the bonus you deserve
From doctors we trust

[Verse 2]
The Fat Lady of Limbourg
Looked at the samples that we sent
And furrowed her brow
You would never believe that
She'd tasted royalty and fame
If you saw her now

But her sense of taste is such that she'll distinguish with her tongue
The subtleties a spectrograph would miss
And announce her decision
While demanding her reward:
The jellyfish kiss

[Verse 3]
Now we checked out this duck quack
Who laid a big egg, oh so black
It shone just like gold
And the kids from the city
Finding it pretty, took it home
And there it was sold

It was changing hands for weeks till someone left it by their fire
And it melted to a puddle on the floor
For it was only a candle
A Roman scandal oh
Now it's a pool

[Outro]
That's what we're paid for
That's what we're paid for
That's what we're paid for here

But that never meant that much to her
She chose to keep her nose too clean
She'd rather keep it pointed anyway
In the spine of a magazine

Even if the piano player can't play, keep the party going.

Because I'm bad, I'm bad come on (You know that I'm bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad you know it (You know that I'm bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know
Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

[In the Guinness Book Of World Records for "Longest Song Intro"?]

He came dancing across the water.
With his galleons and guns.

And his subjects gathered around him.
Like the leaves around a tree.

And I know she's living there.
And she loves me to this day.

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape
The shape of my heart

I ain't happy. I'm feeling glad.

Instead of cursing at the darkness,
Light a candle for where we're going,
There's something ahead worth looking for.

I met a man from Mars,
He picked up all my guitars,
Played me a travelling song,
And when we got on-ship,
He brought out something for the trip,
Said "it's old, but it's good",
Like any other primitive would.

- Neil Young

She loves you yeah yeah yeah,
She loves you yeah yeah yeah,

Well, it's one for the money.

Two for the show.

Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go!

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.

You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes!
