Eels - All In A Day's Work - lyrics

When I was born
The doctor said
There's something wrong
Inside that baby head
When I was a boy
In Sunday school
I told them all
That they were fools
All in a day's work
To live and breathe
A sight to see
And so it goes
I went into
The fortune teller's
She wouldn't read
My horoscope
I go into
The laundromat
The people all
Buy extra soap
All in a day's work
To live and breathe
A sight to see
All in a day's work
To live and breathe
A sight to see

Eels - Agatha Chang - lyrics

Agatha was beautiful
Her long, black hair and aching eyes
Even when she didn't feel so good
She look alright
She always had her smile
And it was good for a while
I wouldn't answer each time the phone rang
But I should've stayed with agatha chang
Agatha, she wasn't mean
She didn't cheat, she never lied
Even if she disagreed with you
It wasn't a fight
Made you feel like you're both right
But then I lost sight
I couldn't bear to break up my old gang
But I should've stayed with agatha chang
What was so important then?
I haven't a clue
How could I have been so blind and cruel?
Agatha, where did you go?
Do I have the slightest chance?
I could make up for everything that I did wrong
But I know it's just a song
And you're probably long gone
Forgot all about her each night that I sang
But I should've stayed with agatha chang

Eels - Altar Boy - lyrics

A monk with a hard-on
And a lavender robe
That scratches his thighs
Through the hat that he strode
As he follows a path
Filled with every desire
And mimics his footsteps
And sets his prayers on fire.
Well I too have chosen
That which left no choice
To sing without loving,
A solitary voice,
To observe with passion
Each careful denial:
The protrusions which give my life meaning
For a while.
Sometimes I see you in berries and weeds
Youre brushing your teeth with liquorice seeds
Standing too close,
Pulling your clothes,
Smiling at god
And the meaning of life grows.
No and Ill never tell
And Ill never know
What candles you light
After the show
And Ill never tell,
And Ill never ask
The meaning of life after mass.

Eels - Are You & Me Gonna Happen - lyrics

Are you and me gonna happen
Are you and me gonna happen soon
The gods smiled hard down upon
The love thats shared
Heavens awaiting those who dare
Are you and me gonna happen
Are you and me gonna happen soon
A sweeter feeling I cant guess will ever be
A truer union I cant see
I dont know how much more I can take
I will run through th streets
Ill howl at the moon
If you and me can not be happening soon
Are you and me gonna happen soon
Are you and me gonna happen soon

Eels - Agony - lyrics

Am I gonna be alright?
No, I'm not gonna be alright
nothin' is alright now
am i gonna see the sun come up?
or am i goin' down?
'cause everyday i'm here
all i feel is sheer
agony
Friends tellin' me
that maybe i need
some pychiatric help
yeah, they're always so quick to tell you
just how to get on with it
I look into the mirror
and all i see is ancient fear
and agony
If i could just remember what it was like
when i was younger
oh, the joy and happiness
replaced with hunger
and all i've got to show
for the seeds that didn't grow
is agony

Eels - Animal - lyrics

If I could love you
Im sure I would
If I could hold you
And feel understood
Id be there now
But I dont know how
Cause I am an animal
But now Im (? )
Wrap me up tight
Keep me safe inside
Warm at night
I am no more, I am not good
I am so sorry
If you misunderstood
Id make it up
But I cannot
If I am an animal

Eels - Baby Genius - lyrics

Baby genius
Look how youve grown
Where do you go from here?
Didnt we have some good times
After all is said and done
Small body and small mind
Big head and big headaches
My back is broken
Baby genius
Find a new ride

Eels - Bad News - lyrics

Guess Im doing something wrong
Never feel right in these shoes
A pocket full of matches and a head full of flames
Got to warn you that Im bad news
She tugs me in and then she screams
One day you will have to choose
Either take care of me or take care of you
And dont pretend youre not bad news
Come on now Ill take you home
You dont have a thing to lose
But stick around long enough and youll find out
I am nothing but bad news
You can never change where youre from
No matter who I will accuse
Gonna get on with a better life
And one day I wont be bad news
Cause its the same
Every day when I wake up
Its the same
In the way that you
Gave me up
In the middle of a swan dive
And I was soaring down
Perfect and slow

Eels - Ant Farm - lyrics

Hate a lot of things
But I love a few things
And you are one of them
Hard to believe
After all these years
But you are one of them
Walk down the streets
Im thinking:
Everybody move along
Ive got a sad-hearted needing
To belong
Nevertheless
Its all the mess you made
But I cant let it go
Walk down the streets
Im thinking:
Look at all the ants in a farm
Ive got a sad-hearted feeling
To harm
Hate a lot of things
But I love a few things
And you are one of them

Eels - A Most Unpleasant Man - lyrics

Well, I'll rise above, once I forget,
What it was like then before we met,
I had no dreams,
There was no plan,
You see it's just that I am,
A most unpleasant man,
And now it all has come to pass,
I guess I knew it couldn't last,
And now I'm back to where I began,
And once again I've become,
A most unpleasant man,
Where would I go if you weren't here?
I'll try to find you everywhere,
Remeber me, not as I am,
But how I was as your truest friend,
Remeber me, not as I am,
How did I ever become,
A most unpleasant man?
I'll see you later baby...
