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 © & ℗ 2021 People Suck Music

Plain 02:21
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 © & ℗ 2020 People Suck Music

about

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
