STATISTICIAN’S BLUES
Todd Snider

They say 3 percent of the people use 5 to 6 percent of their brain
97 percent use 3 percent and the rest goes down the drain
I’ll never know which one I am but I’ll bet you my last dime
99 percent think with 3 percent 100 percent of the time
64 percent of all the world’s statistics are made up right there on the spot
82.4 percent of people believe ‘em whether they’re accurate statistics or not
I don’t know what you believe but I do know there’s no doubt
I need another double shot of something 90 proof
I got too much to think about

Too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
It’s too much to think about

They say 92 percent of everything you learned in school was just bullshit you’ll never need
84 percent of everything you got you bought to satisfy your greed
Because 90 percent of the world’s population links possessions to success
Even though 80 percent of the wealthiest 1 percent of the population
Drinks to an alarming excess
More money, more stress

It’s too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
It’s too much to think about

84 percent of all statisticians truly hate their jobs
They say the average bank robber lives within say about 20 miles of the bank that he robs
There’s this little bank not far from here I’ve been watching now for a while
Lately all I can think about’s how bad I wanna go out in style

And it’s too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
It’s too much to think about

And it’s too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
It’s too much to think about

the governator
© 2003 rod macdonald (blue flute/ascap)

let me tell you why i love america
it's a place where a guy can rise so high
i started out with nothing but my brains and some muscles
now i'm reaching right up to the sky
hey look at me i'm the governor of california
they say i've no experience but they'll see
in my last picture i saved the world from aliens
how hard can a simple budget be?

everybody wanted to be governor of california
that's why i'm honored the voters elected me
all i had was friends and 30 million dollars
and the networks showing my movies every night on tv
hey look at me i'm the governor of california
they say i've no experience but they'll see
in my last picture i saved the world from aliens
how hard can a simple budget be?

some people say i'm no friend of women
just because i groped a few along the way
that's why i brought my wife here to say a few words
not like that one in total recall i had to blow away
hey look at me i'm governor of california
they say i've no experience but they'll see
in my last picture i saved the world from miami
how hard can a simple budget be?

here's my program to deal with all those taxes
those deficits and blackouts and all that stuff
since every story deserves a happy ending
i'm gonna light a big explosion and blow everything up
hey look at me i'm governor of california
they say i've no experience but they'll see
in my last picture I saved the world from myself
how hard can a simple budget be?
now who's gonna save the world from me?

100 Years
FIVE FOR FIGHTING

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

King Of Bohemia
Written by Richard Thompson
Appears on Mirror Blue (1994)
Action Packed (2001)

Let me rock you in my arms
I'll hold you safe and small
A refugee from the seraphim
In your rich-girl rags and all

Did your dreams die young, were they too hard won
Did you reach too high and fall
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
And he blessed you best of all

Your eyes seem from a different face
They've seen that much that soon
Your cheek too cold, too pale to shine
Like an old and waning moon

And there is no peace, no true release
No secret place to crawl
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
And he blessed you best of all

If tears unshed could heal your heart
If words unsaid could sway
Then watch you melt into the night
Adieu, and rue the day

Did your dreams die young, were they too hard won
Did you reach too high and fall
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
And he blessed you best of all

1952 Vincent Black Lightning
Written by Richard Thompson
Appears on Rumor and Sigh (1991)
two letter words: live 1994 (1996)
Action Packed (2001)
Live in Providence DVD & EP (2004)
live from austin tx DVD & CD (2005)

Oh says Red Molly to James "That's a fine motorbike.
A girl could feel special on any such like"
Says James to Red Molly "My hat's off to you
It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952.
And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme"
And he pulled her on behind and down to Boxhill they did ride

Oh says James to Red Molly "Here's a ring for your right hand
But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man.
For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen,
I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine.
Now I'm 21 years, I might make 22
And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you.
And if fate should break my stride
Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride"

"Come down, come down, Red Molly" called Sergeant McRae
"For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery.
Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside.
Oh come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside"
When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
But he smiled to see her cry
He said "I'll give you my Vincent to ride"

Says James "In my opinion, there's nothing in this world
Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl.
Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves won't do,
Ah, they don't have a soul like a Vincent 52"
Oh he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys
Said "I've got no further use for these.
I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome,
Swooping down from heaven to carry me home"
And he gave her one last kiss and died
And he gave her his Vincent to ride.

Higher Ground - Jeff Black

There’s a star shining over Jordan
Looks like we’re going to fall to fortune
In ribbons rings and bows
Riding on a light so clean and fine
It’s going to change some things around here I know
Ever since last October
I been thinking the whole thing over
And I’m feeling fairly sure
That we’ve got someone on the inside now babe
I think they’re going to show us how they
Transcend all that’s pure

Oh look here what we found
Higher ground

Full moon and the rivers flowing
Pretty soon the roosters crowing
Better open up the door
Catch me in a dream I don’t care
I want to hold the world to my share
And ask for a little more
I believe we can see forever
And all we leave behind together
May be washed away with time
I really want it to mean, to matter
Silver gold wood and leather
And heaven on my mind

Oh look here what we found
Oh look here what we found
Higher ground

carnival song - Jeff Black

i’ve been quite the traveler
ever since I hit the road
and the sullen county carnival
has been my earn in gold
i’ve been quite alone
since i remember when
i turned my ultimatums
into chips and cashed them in

i used to run the ferris wheel
but that would be hard to prove
i can’t stand to see a rolling wheel
propped up so it can’t move
i used to run the carousel
hell that’s just round and round
and i never liked them ponies
painted up and bolted down

the only thing that’s keeping me
from staying here is leaving
the only thing that saves me from it all
is i’ll be gone
and just when i could trust
in all the things that i believe in
i had to pack it up and move along
and i’ll tell you boys i’m not the only one

i played a straight man at the ring toss
but that was just a jaunt
i can’t see throwing rings around things
you don’t really want
i would run the rollercoaster
but that just breaks my heart
so much hard traveling
just to wind up where you start
now i just work the gateway
and i’m pretty satisfied
my little booth is red and blue
and i just sit inside
i just take your money
and i give tickets out to trade
i think about my life
and all the promises i made

and i’ll tell you boys my work is never done
so like a sweet and salty gypsy kiss i’m gone
