OLIVER PLUNKETT'S HEAD
There's a head in a glass case
In St. Peter's in Louth
A real human head
With a smile on its mouth
Enemies burned his body
But they preserved the top
Someone really wanted
To make Oliver stop
I think I'd like something to pray to
That head can keep you up at night
People they scare me
Dead or alive
Oliver Plunkett tried
But Oliver Plunkett's dead
Some people sat and cried
At Oliver Plunkett's head
Just believed something different
He didn't mean any harm
But if they didn't believe him
Why were they so alarmed?
Yeah, the abyss is scary
We're all afraid to fall in
What good's hanging in heaven
With who did that to him?
Quit praying to the knucklebones
Of skeletons you never met
They don't grant wishes
They excrete regret
Oliver Plunkett tried
But Oliver Plunkett's dead
Some people sat and cried
At Oliver Plunkett's head
The case fogs over
Plunkettt stops smiling
That could never be my skull
Cuz I don't believe in anything

PLAIN
They say my insides glow
with an extra special beauty
but everywhere I go
everybody's looking through me
They can't say what they mean
Because they're mean but can't say so
They never get extreme
But they still squish me like I'm play-doh
Just one word but it contains
Something deeply inhumane
It's not a simple sort of pain
When someone
Someone says she's plain
When I was fourteen-ish
My father said this to me
Better hope you're a genius,
cause you'll never be a beauty
Accomplished many things
With work and dedication
But inside it still stings
I'd prefer your lust to admiration
Just one word but it contains
Something deeply inhumane
It's not a simple sort of pain
When someone
Someone says she's plain
I won't become a swan
Never was an ugly duckling
Within my echelon
We are well known for wild swashbuckling
Just one word but it contains
Something deeply inhumane
It's not a simple sort of pain
When someone
Someone says she's plain

Too Much Joy Scarsdale, New York
TMJ is/was a punk-pop band of some minor renown. Some of that renown was due to their music, which included semi-hits such as “Crush Story,” “Donna Everywhere,” and “That’s a Lie” — a cover of the LL Cool J tune that featured the man himself in the music video, which actually got played quite a bit during daylight hours on MTV back when they did that sort of thing. ... more
