She’ll be nothing like I pictured her to be
—Neil Young, Lookin’ for a Love
Didn’t expect her beauty
From her bones to her skin
Didn’t expect the galaxy
To suddenly spin
Didn’t expect her smile
With its magical power
Didn’t expect her laugh
To resonate for hours
Didn’t expect to quiver
When she looks me in the face
Didn’t expect her poise
Didn’t expect her grace
Didn’t expect her countenance
To fill me up with joy
Didn’t expect to frolic
Like a goofy little boy
Didn’t expect to ever be
This silly and this sappy
Didn’t know there was such a thing
As permanent lovehappy

Never felt right
Never felt whole
Till I found a bottle
To parch my dusty soul
This dingy old bar
Is my urban oasis
Seventeen cocktails
Is my homeostasis
I do death and resurrection
On a regular basis
I came up in a stupid little
One-horse town
Booze is the friend
That never let me down
This dingy old bar
Is my urban oasis
Seventeen cocktails
Is my homeostasis
I do death and resurrection
On a regular basis
I’m anxious and ornery
Till I get a drink
Won’t quit until I wake up
In a pile of stink
This dingy old bar
Is my urban oasis
Seventeen cocktails
Is my homeostasis
I do death and resurrection
On a regular basis

Middle aged man in his underwear playing video games and drinking beer.
You don’t wanna work
You’ll never get a job
My mother was right
You’re a stupid lazy slob
I’m working three jobs
Just to get by
What am I doing
With such a lousy guy?
Disappoint me
Let me down
Incite my indignation
I will always
Keep you round
To focus my frustration
Playing your Nintendo
Like a stupid little kid
Jesus won’t you tell me
What I ever did
To deserve a drunkin fool
Spending everything I earn
I shoulda stayed in school
I guess I’ll never learn
Disappoint me
Let me down
Incite my indignation
I will always
Keep you round
To focus my frustration

If you drink your life to crud
Till you’re crawling in the mud
And puking pints of blood
If you gamble on the ponies
Till you’re sickly and you’re bony
And your kids eat macaroni
I’m sorry for your trauma
If you’re dusting up the drama
With a dozen baby mamas
It really ain’t my gain
If your life fills up with pain
Until you think you’ll go insane
Your problems
Ain’t my issue
Though I’ll support you
And I wish you
All the best
But I won’t waste
Precious time
Fixating on your
Your sins and crimes
I’ll just stay thankful
For the ways
My life is blessed

‘Cause everybody’s gotta have somebody to look down on
Prove they can be better than at any time they please
Someone doin’ somethin’ dirty, decent folks can frown on
You can’t find nobody else, then help yourself to me
—Kris Kristofferson, Jesus Was a Capricorn
Been living here for fourteen years
I’m stuck inside a rut
I’m surrounded by losers
And piles and piles of smut
My wife took all my money
And left me in this hut
I can’t believe I fell
For that evil stupid slut
My rent just got doubled
And my salary was cut
Everywhere I turn
Another door is shut
You need a place to put your angry
When it wells inside your gut
You need a place to put your angry
When life kicks you in the nuts
Follow me. I’ll help you find
A way out of this pinch
We’ll find someone to blame
Or we’ll find someone to lynch
by Richard W. Bray

The way you treat your woman
Makes me wanna cry
You disgrace our gender
You’re a fraction of a guy
A million times you told her
She can’t do nothing right
You’re a tyrant and a terror
You’re so angry and uptight
Nothing she could try and do
Will ever be ok
Why you wanna be with
Someone you treat that way?
The way you treat your feller
Makes my gonads ache
Like he should live to serve you
For goodness gracious sake
Everything you say is
A complaint or a command
I could live a thousand years
And never understand
Why it makes you happy
To treat anyone that way
I’m just glad I won’t be ‘round
To watch your love decay

You mesmerized me
Strumming your lute
Cuz you’re really, really, really, really cute
I got an ache so
Stunning and acute
Cuz you’re really, really, really, really cute
I’d give everything I got
To taste your fruit
Cuz you’re really, really, really, really cute
I spend every minute
Planning my pursuit
Cuz you’re really, really, really, really cute
Down in Beaumont, up in Boston
Out in Butte
There ain’t another woman
Half as cute
I’m dying here
But you don’t give a hoot
You already know you’re really, really cute

She slides across
My lonely view
And there ain’t nothing
I can do
I pine and fret
My silent plea
For a love
That cannot be
I’m sixty-three
percent insane
Cuz she keeps poppin
In my brain
My mind’s a mess
Of hurt and sad
Love’s an ache
I got so bad
A friendly word
A wayward smile
Lights my soul up
For a while
Till I remember
Who I am
A peon and
A hired hand
I’m sixty-three
percent insane
Cuz she keeps poppin
In my brain
My mind’s a mess
Of hurt and sad
Love’s an ache
I got so bad

Never wanna be away from you
You won’t be lonely any more
Never wanna be away from you
You’re the one I waited for
Never wanna be away from you
Without you I have no life
Never wanna be away from you
I quit my job and left my wife
Never wanna be away from you
I’m sick and dizzy when you’re gone
Never wanna be away from you
Pitched my tent on your front lawn
Never wanna be away from you
POE-lease say I gotta go
Never wanna be away from you
The truest love I’ll ever know
