Recorded Nov. 10, 2007 in Portland, Oregon.

Lyrics (also available at http://www.pacifier.com/~ascot t/verses/suicidal.htm ):

[V.1]
The thin old man sits on his front porch again.
Everybody's watching him, while he watches them.
In the upstairs room the mongrel mutt stares down at the street.
He's lookin' for some action.
He's lookin for a bitch in heat.
He's thinkin' about jumpin'
But he ain't gonna jump just yet.

[Chorus]
Suicidal Dawg
Hangin' on to livin by tooth and claw
He's tried and tried
For suicide
But you can't slit yer wrists... with yer own front paws.

[V.2]
The thin old man feeds him Alpo again.
Pours out some water into a cracked glass bowl.
In the upstairs room the poor lost pup takes in some TV.
He's switchin' different channels
He's lookin for that bitch in heat
He's thinkin' about jumpin'
But he ain't gonna jump just yet.

[Ch.]

[V.3]
The thin old man's gettin' thinner and thinner.
And don't you know, in the end, ain't nobody the winner.
In the upstairs room the long lost pooch laps up some more hooch.
He's lookin for some action
He's sniffin' out that bitch in heat.
He's lookin out that window
But he ain't gonna jump just yet.

[Final chorus]:
Suicidal Dawg
Gettin' damn tired of livin' by his tooth and his claws.
He's tried and tried
For suicide
But you can't slit yer wrists
With your own front paws.

Lyrics (also available at http://www.pacifier.com/~ascot t/verses/coolrece.htm ):

It was a very cool reception.
The couple on the cake had the best time of all.
The bride arrived at the very last minute.
Nobody expected the groom to make it at all.

There were too many kisses, and not enough presents.
There were too many tuxedos, and all of the ushers were bald.
The minister hid in the coatroom and swallowed down whiskey,
And he wouldn't come out even when we all stood there and called.

There were whispers of pregnancy, and whispers of adultery.
Yeah there were whispers of anything everything under the sun.
The bride was beset on all sides by her strange relations.
Yeah but who ever said that gettin' married was fun?

(instrumental break - one verse long as above)

It was a very cool reception.
Her stepmother's poodle licked the icing off of the cake.
It was clear to the crowd that the couple was sure to be happy.
She just couldn't bend and nobody had taught him to brake.

It was a very cool reception.
The groom showed up in a stolen yellow pickup truck.
She climbed in the back and proceeded to give him directions,
But he just ignored them and drove off entrusting to luck.

There were motions to prosecute, and motions to give 'em a medal.
Somebody started a fund to provide for the desperate two.
But the bride and the groom ended safe in a room in Virginia,
Where they quickly discovered a couple of fun things to do...

Lyrics (also available at http://www.pacifier.com/~ascot t/verses/children.htm ):

[V.1]
We sat on pillars at the park
Talked from noon till after dark
As the stars began to shine
Lord, your kisses taste like wine

[Chorus]
Whoever thought that it would end?
Whoever thought that we would long to be
Children again?

[V.2]
We went into a country bar
The guitar player's face was scarred
Sittin' there upon the stools,
Lord, we acted like such fools.

[Chorus]
[Instrumental break - same as verse]
[Chorus]

[V.3]
We opened up a record store
Nobody ever came through the door
So you said "I'll be on my way."
I got a letter from you yesterday.

[Chorus]

[Coda (lente)]:
We sat on pillars at the park.
Talked from noon till after dark
As the stars began to shine...

Thanks to a cruel experiment by Mother Nature and Father Time, the beautiful women of the lush, tropical island of Wongo are led to believe the only men who exist are the horribly ugly, ape-like creatures that live on the other side of the island. That is, until they set eyes on the handsome prince from a neighboring island, where all of the men are equally gorgeous! Meanwhile, the beastly men of Wongo, on their way to select their mates, are unhappy about the island’s recent arrival.
