David Wilcox - Apple A Day - lyrics

from Into The Mystery
..............................................
Thank God, life's uncertain
Thank God we get so scared
Can?t see behind God's curtain
This world seems so unfair
Imagine life the other way
Picture-perfect every day
Indoor weather makes this blue sky stay
So they say: Vacation in Eden
Bring an apple a day
This climb, makes us stumble
Ten million ways to fall
Our childish faith will crumble
This world will break us all
Imagine life the other way
A cozy fishbowl on display
With no chance that we might drift astray
So we say: Vacation in Eden
Bring an apple a day
When you get there life is easy
Winning every game you play
But every day is just the same
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Same old re-run on some child-proof stage
So they say: Vacation in Eden
Bring an apple a day
In the land of childish wonder
Climb the fence and run away
Pretty to visit, but it's hell to stay
Vacation in Eden
Bring an apple a day
..............................................

David Wilcox - Bad Apple - lyrics

I've got a bad reputation in this town
It's something I can't live down
I wish I could be what people want me to be
But somehow I can't come around
So you take your road and I'll take mine
I'll drink the whisky and you drink the wine
Cause that's the situation
I've got a bad reputation
I've got a bad reputation in this town
People try to put me down
They call me a loser
A no good boozer
And tell me I act like a clown
Now if you don't like my face and style
Don't waste time trying to tell me how
Just show me and get your own bad reputation
Yeah if you don't like my face and style
Don't waste time tryin' to tell me how
Just show me
And get your own bad reputation
A bad reputation
You'll get a bad reputation
Bad, bad reputation
Such a shame
You've got a bad reputation A bad reputation
It's a bad bad bad bad reputation
A bad reputation

David Wilcox - Between The Lines - lyrics

I woke up this morning and prayed to the gypsy rose lady
"Gypsy can you help me I'm struggling you see."
I heard her laughing over by the slot machine
She said, "Baby, baby, baby, I had the strangest dream."
Having breakfast at the circus
With the lions and the clowns
Everybody's laughing just hanging around
But nobody's gonna love you unless you help tear down
Breakfast at the cirucs with the lions and the clowns
People walking a tightrope
Head in the lion's jaws
They need a little mercy
So come on Santa Claus
And when you give your mercy
Won't you save a drop for us
We'll remember you, and your family too when they get us on the bus
Having breakfast at the circus
With the lions and the clowns
Everybody's laughing just hanging around
But nobody's gonna love you unless you help tear down
Breakfast at the cirucs with the lions and the clowns
My ears are ringing and my mind is a mess
Give me one goodnight kiss
To help me forget the past
Wooh what a party
Everyone was there
Great to see you where've you been?
Hey who does your hair?
Free balloons and hats and soon the seal will catch a ball
And after that the acrobat will try to top the show
Having breakfast at the circus
With the lions and the clowns
Everybody's laughing just hanging around
But nobody's gonna love you unless you help tear down
Breakfast at the circus with the lions and the clowns

David Wilcox - Big Mistake - lyrics

They taught us kids in school between the recess breaks
That the universe just sorta fell together like a Big Mistake
It started with a bang that sent the pieces flying
Then it cooled and twirled into dinosaurs and dandelioins
Chorus:
It was a Big Mistake to have eyes that see
To have love like this inside of me
To have lips that smile as I swim your kiss
To have minds that will forever every part of this
All the moonlight shrouded in the clouds above and
the autumn leaves and the falling love
The still reflection in the moonlit lake
All, they said, it was a big mistake, it was a big mistake
Now back to science class through the looking glass
We were magnifying little ancestors of our ancient past
Watch 'em break a couple chromosomes, wait a zillion years or so
And get an ostrich, a jellyfish, a kangaroo, and a Romeo
Chorus
The choreography of a coincidence
At the turning point there was eternity behind a moment's glance
It was for you and me the timing made us laugh
The fact that anyone could find their only one along this darkened path

David Wilcox - (You Were) Going Somewhere - lyrics

from Home Again
..............................................
I saw you just the other day
I watched you walk a little way
You vanished 'round the corner
When I got there you were gone
You might of heard me if I'd called
We could have spoken but I stalled
And let the moment slip
And in a moment it was gone
I saw, you see
But you did not see me
You were going somewhere
I saw you driving down the road
I waved at you, you never slowed
I watched you as the distance
Made you small
And you were gone
A haze of dust rose on the air
Suspended for a moment there
It settled to the road again
It didn't last too long
I saw, you see
But you did not see me
You were going somewhere
Time was all I had
But the timing was bad
When I looked your way
You neglected to stay
You were going somewhere
My timing's bad
Your time's been sold
You're looking young
You're feeling old
You're looking straight ahead of you
I'm standing on the side
Your silver spoon is tarnished old
But still you'll turn it into gold
Ambition's going to get you there
I hope you like the ride
You were going somewhere
You were going somewhere
You were going somewhere
You were going somewhere
You were going somewhere

David Wilcox - After Your Orgasm - lyrics

After you orgasm the world is a different place
The world is a different place
After your orgasm when we slide out of bed
We stay slippery, we stay slippery
So the worries in our heads
Slide away, slide away
The world will change its angle so the furniture will slide
Slowly to one side of the room
For gravity is different now and everything must fall
As we rise, surprising
Oh we must slide into each other
And let this air that knows us in
It's harder to breathe out fast
As we are filled
And as the room turns, I will brace you
As you bravely give your all
To the moon-soaked wall and wind
The air inside this room has yours and mine
It's been inside our breathing
When you reached inside my ribcage and put both your hands around my spine
You realigned my feelings
Oh we must slide into each other
And let this air that knows us in
It's harder to breathe out fast
As we are filled
And as the room turns, I will brace you
As you bravely give your all
To the moon-soaked wall and wind
After your orgasm, the world is a different place
The world is a different place

David Wilcox - Bad Reputation - lyrics

CANADIAN ARTIST DAVID WILCOX
Hey
I don't sell it
I don't deal it
I don't buy it
Don't have to steal it
Got your blood running through my veins
I ain't crying for your pity
It's a shame
It's blood money, blood money
Blood money, blood money
That's to blame
You can spend it
I don't want it
It won't pay for my sins
You can deal her
She don't count for much
She's your mistress
She's your lover
She's your mother
She's your wife
She ain't even spare change in your life
It's blood money, blood money
Blood money, blood money
Blood money, blood money
Blood money, blood money
That's to blame
It's a shame
Hey!
I don't need you
I don't want you
I don't love you no more
I ain't crying for your kisses
It's a shame
It's your blood money
That's to blame
They'll steal you
They'll rob you
They'll rape you
They'll fake you
They'll make you
They'll break you
They'll deal you
'Til you learn
It's blood money, blood money
Blood money, blood money
That you burn
Ow!

David Wilcox - Barbie - lyrics

words and music by Nance Petit, Freddy Bradburn
She was the secret daughter of Marilyn Monroe
You could guess the father if you don't know
Joan Crawford adopted and called her Baby Jane
But we all knew her by a different name
Chorus:
Barbie, the untold story
Just remember, you heard it first from me
Barbie, the untold story
Tell you the truth for a phenomenal fee
Just when family tensions were at their worst
She met her best friend Ms. Patty Hearst
They found a higher power over at Betty Ford's
It was a vibrator on a ouija board
Chorus
She studied theatre at UCLA
And dated OJ once, I'm sorry to say
But then came Ken to star in her play
She was shattered to learn that he was gay
Chorus
Made a career leading cheers for the LA Lakers
Then became the main mistress of the Reverend Jim Baker
Helped him hear his messages from the lord
With a vibrator and a ouija board

David Wilcox - All My Life - lyrics

from Underneath
..............................................
Do you believe in signs that whisper inside your mind 'till you have to follow through,
leading you home again to someplace you've never been? Well I feel that way for you.
For how can it be true, the first time I see you,
I look into your eyes,
and suddenly I knew you all my life.
Don't we have all that time: treasure that's yours and mine, and a place that we call home
Don't we have photographs taken a long time back
of the seasons we have known?
I know it's strange to say, when we just met this way, but I look into your eyes,
and suddenly I knew you all my life.
So I'll take the chance and tell you,
before the chance is gone,
so at least I won't be wondering
the rest of my life long.
