READY
Are you ready?
The time has come to choose
Been stuck inside for months we're nearly out of booze
You look unsteady
You look a bit deranged
Do you still love me or has something changed?
Ready -- let's go batshit tonight
Are you ready to fuck
Or are you ready to fight
Ready -- let's see what happens next
Will we kill one another
Or will we just have sex
Then you asked me
"Have you ever slapped someone?"
Cuz when it happens on TV you think it looks like fun
Jigsaw puzzles
Can't distract us anymore
We tried our best at peace but now it's time for war
Ready -- let's go batshit tonight
Are you ready to fuck
Or are you ready to fight
Ready -- let's see what happens next
Will we kill one another
Or will we just have sex
You suggested
We should each give it a try
You're smiling while you're waiting for my reply
In these crazy times
all the good guys wearing masks
Oh well what the hell I'll do what you ask

In Your Car, In The Dark

IN YOUR CAR, IN THE DARK
Open up the pearly gates
hit the button to the garage door
The kind of car only you could love
The only kind you could afford
Ten years too old ten years ago
Got the biggest back seat ever
Windshield like a movie screen
You just drive around forever
In your car in the dark
only place it all seems right
In your car in the dark
all alone late at night
Knocked you up in the back seat
Like we were in some Springsteen song
But tramps like us do not get hitched
There's a clinic, it didn't take long
Later on I tried to propose
I said, "Will you" and you screamed "I won't"
If I asked, "How do you feel?"
You'd just sigh and say, "I don't"
In your car in the dark
only place it all seemed right
In your car in the dark
all alone late at night
Did you not see the road closed sign?
Or just floor the gas anyway?
Did you choose to leave no note?
Or just run out of things to say?
In your car in the dark
only place it all seems right
In your car in the dark
all alone late at night

HEY MERLIN!
The path to the house -- the path is overgrown
The door swings open -- there is no one home
They say a man lived here many years ago
But what happened to this man no one knows
They say he had -- he had some magic friends
and they all met -- they all met tragic ends
Banished and scattered the wizards died
and now all the legends lie
Hey Merlin, Hey Merlin
don't believe a word they say
Hey Merlin, Hey Merlin
it was worth it anyway
Living backwards in time
Losing your mind
You fall from grace -- fall from grace before you're there
They soil your name -- soil it to protect theirs
All laughter and joking is illegal now
They'd ridicule you but they don't know how

NEW MEMORIES (part 2)
We regretted mattress four
Did it cause our current war?
Liked the soft one with more give
But I chose to make due with
The firmer model you preferred
Not knowing what I just stirred
Barely sensed our slow decline
Just went to bed at different times
I need
Some new memories
I have used up all of these
This weed
Induces reveries
And forgives all treacheries
On mattress five I lie alone
Reading old texts on my phone
Emojis few and far between
Now and then you'd use The Scream
Shadows kept creeping along
Nights kept turning into dawn
Woke up one day with a yawn
And reached for someone who was gone
I need
Some new memories
I have used up all of these
This weed
Induces reveries
And forgives all treacheries
I remember feeling glad
Can't feel the feeling that I had

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

MYSTERY LIMOUSINE
Gliding down the street
Gliding down from heaven
Big black limousine
Created by the gods
Who's inside?
Gleaming metal
Three blocks long
And five blocks wide
Mystery limousine
You can look
And you can dream
But you can't ride
Mystery limousine
Driver's got sunglasses
I bought a pair just like him
Now my eyes are
just like limo windows
Who's inside?
Gleaming metal
Three blocks long
And five blocks wide
Mystery limousine
Police escort
Stopping traffic
Naked girls astride
Mystery limousine
Driver picked up a hitchhiker
They found him by the side of the road
His twisted, broken body
In a pool of red, red blood
Gravel glass and black paint
Unseeing open eyes
Who's inside?
Gleaming metal
Three blocks long
And five blocks wide
Mystery limousine
Police escort
Stopping traffic
Naked girls astride
Mystery limousine

The Glory of Badminton

THE GLORY OF BADMINTON
everybody needs a backyard
every backyard needs a dog
mine has a fancy collar
ordered from a catalog
sometimes I get so hopeless
sometimes I'm just appalled
today I'm barbecuing
and playing basketball
and tomorrow I'll forget again
how good I feel today
and I'll doubt it ever happened
and that's OK
now we're sitting round the table
and we're remembering when
and we're laughing but it's bitter
'cause it's just a specimen
if I woke up tomorrow
and I had a different name
would you love me louder
would you love me just the same?
cuz the glory of badminton
will always be outweighed
by the smallest inconvenience
and that's OK

DEATH RAY MACHINE
Gonna take more time
We'll need a lot of money
Perfected the design
We just need the funding
I haven't felt this safe
since before the A-bomb fell
Don't think this is heaven
Then you can go to hell
I wanna change the world
But I can't even change myself
Helicopters roam the golf course
Just cuz they can, I guess
Flags in parking meters each holiday
Nothing much, but we do our best
Take more time, need a lot of money
Take more time, need a lot of money
I pointed my death ray machine the wrong way
We got our own newspaper
But we borrow the opinions
Bring dinner in the den
Watch ourselves on television
Put the dishes in the sink
Kiss the kids goodnight
Tie a yellow ribbon
Round everything in sight

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
