“Swingin’ Party”

Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there’s a party

Here it’s never endin’, can’t remember when it started

Pass around the lampshade, there’ll be plenty enough room in jail

If bein’ wrong’s a crime, I’m serving forever

If bein’ strong’s your kind, then I need help here with this feather

If bein’ afraid is a crime, we hang side by side

At the swingin’ party down the line

At the swingin’ party down the line

Pound the prairie pavement, losin’ proposition

Quittin’ school and goin’ to work and never goin’ fishin’

Water all around, never learned how to swim now

If bein’ wrong’s a crime, I’m serving forever

If bein’ strong’s your kind, then I need help here with this feather

If bein’ afraid is a crime, we hang side by side

At the swingin’ party down the line

At the swingin’ party down the line

Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there’s a party

Here it’s never endin’, can’t remember when it started

Pass around the lampshade, there’ll be plenty enough room in jail

If bein’ wrong’s a crime, I’m serving forever

If bein’ strong is what you want, then I need help here with this feather

If bein’ afraid is a crime, we hang side by side

At the swingin’ party down the line

Let It Be

Twin/Tone Records

“Sixteen Blue”

Drive yourself right up the wall

No one hears and no one calls

It’s a boring state

It’s a useless wait, I know

Brag about things you don’t understand

A girl and a woman, a boy and a man

Everything is sexually vague

Now you’re wondering to yourself

If you might be gay

Your age is the hardest age

Everything drags and drags

One day, baby, maybe help you through

Sixteen blue

Sixteen blue

Drive your ma to the bank

Tell your pa you got a date

You’re lying, now you’re lying on your back

Try to figure out, they wonder what next you’ll pull

You don’t understand anything sexual

I don’t understand

Tell my friends I’m doing fine

Your age is the hardest age

Everything drags and drags

You’re looking funny

You ain’t laughing, are you?

Twin/Tone Records

“I’m In Trouble”

I gotta hide, I gotta run

Try suicide, well that ain’t no fun

Oh you won’t ever say that it’s so

You’re in love and I’m in trouble

Spend my cash, waste my time

Take out the trash, not this time

Well you won’t never say that it’s so

You’re in love and I’m in trouble
