Homebody

Homebody you already know you're lonely, don't you?
You're ghostwriting a memoir about her,
cause you love her. Don't you
ever call her baby, she might hear you
and then what would you do?
Nobody you already know you're lonely don't you?
Just quit ghostwriting her memoir and tell her
that you love her and don't you ever seem embarrassed,
else she'll turn you away and then what would you say?
You'd say:
"I'm imagining a home like yours
with your organ on your see-thru floor,
but you could be waiting for quite a long time for me to say this."

Corduroy I am very fond of you
and I'd like to purchase you
if you''d like me to
I'll come home with you.
You'll be perfect, so what do you say?
No Lisa, I'm tired of spending
and this bear needs mending anyway.
Where is his button?
He's missing a button.
So no sleep for Corduroy tonight.
It's his button on his mind.
He knows just where to find one:
past the pillows, by the mattresses,
past the stereos and the women's clothes.
Ah, no sleep for little bears tonight.
They're all out hunting something;
that homeliest of feelings!
Corduroy I'm still very fond of you
and I'd like to purchase you.
I emptied my piggy bank
so I think I'll purchase you
and you'll be perfect, you're the perfect doll.

Little Owl

Little owl lost, where could his mother be?
He's fallen all the way to earth from high up in a pine tree.
He's scared. Wouldn't you be?
Little hound dog, her name is Susan.
She ate a rat and so we had to feed her poison
so she'd feel better.
Tomorrow they could be gone.
Little owl lost, where could his mother be?
He's fallen all the way to earth. Can't she see that he's shivering?
He's scared that he's freezing.
Little hound dog, her name is Susie.
She found our owl in the yard and she hollered til we saw her.
Tomorrow they could be gone.
We could be gone tomorrow.
Little owl lost, now he's in the front yard.
It was just really rainy.
It was just really windy.
Tomorrow they could be gone.
We could be gone tomorrow.

Peter

Peter don't sleep tonight.
Your grandpa cries.
The wolf is out.
The duck is dead.
The cat just sighs.
Ah no.
Peter don't close your eyes.
Grandpa might die.
The wolf is out. She stalks round the garden.
She whispers and she sighs to
"go to sleep you pretty tired little creature, little boy.
Your eyes are tired but you won't need them anymore."
The wolf won't sleep tonight or she might die.
You see the bird is out she wings round the garden.
She cackles and she cries.
"You won't be no creepy little wolf anymore.
To the zoo with you"

Pine Trees

Don't leave your house too late at night.
You might get stuck out in the dark.
Pine trees, they whisper your name.
Who could have told them? Nobody knows,
but they do. They know your name.
Don't leave your bedroom door unlocked
cause my friend, she might visit you.
The bedposts, they whisper your name.
Who could have told them? Nobody knows,
but, they do. They know your name.
Don't get spooked if it rains tonight
cause all those little noises, they're just water.
I might try and meet you in your dreams tonight,
so look out for me, cause I don't want to be lost.

Lullaby
01:49
|
|||
Falling asleep, honestly, it's killing me.
These sirens scream and wail and yell,
but oh, I'm happy. I'm happy.
The birds and the bees and evergreen trees,
they're watching you
and I am too.
I'm watching you.
