Heather Says
(Wachtel, Pulver)
Lead Singer: Susan and Vicki
|
Note: This song was recorded in the same key as the originally recorded in 1971.
|
Heather says that each of us here,
Is allowed just one friend,
And just one friend alone
That's what best friends are for.
Heather says that any among us,
Who think that it's better,
To have three or four,
Better change your mind.
That's what she says.
Heather does bad things in class,
But she never, no never gets blamed,
And I wager already this week,
About fifteen more kids have been framed.
And of course one would never,
Dare tell on dear Heather, dear Heather.
And Heather says not a soul in the whole of the fourth grade class
Can jump near as high or can run as fast.
I suspect someone could, but I can't deny
Heather must win so we never try.
The challenge appears on her lips with a grin,
And she gives us that look that says Heather must to win.
And we, do what Heather says We do what Heather says
Heather makes fun of the kid with the mole
And the extra large ears.
And she's not satisfied till he's screaming and red and is screaming and red and in tears.
And of course no one would ever
Dare tell on dear Heather, Sweet Heather.
Heather must be first in Hopscotch,
And when we play tag she is it.
Soon things will change,
Cuz the kids especially Margaret are sick of it.
And even I myself think that it's cruel,
That everything Heather says goes at our school.
Everything Heather says goes at our school.

Timberline
(Susan Cowsill / Vicki Peterson)
Lead Singer: Susan
I said “Baby, didn’t you know
I only meant maybe, about lettin’ you go.”
So I’m up on the timberline, in my candle bed
Waitin’ there for you
Waitin’ there for you
Waitin’ there for you
I don’t keep it, hidden from you
And it’s no secret what you got to do
So I’m up on the timberline, in my candle bed
Waitin’ there for you
Waitin’ there for you
Waitin’ there for you
To figure it out, out, out
Go figure it out
Figure it out
Figure it out
Well you know well, what gets me high
But ya’ can’t tell, what’s making me cry
So I’m up on the timberline, in my candle bed
Waitin’ there for you
Waitin’ there for you
I’m up on the timberline, if only in my head
Waitin’ there for you
Waitin’ there for you
Waitin’ there for you
To figure it out, (figure it) out, (figure it) out (figure it out)
Well figure it out, (figure it) figure it out, (figure it) figure it out (figure it out)
Figure it out, (figure it) why don’t ya’ figure it out, (figure it) figure it out (figure it out)

Never, Never Boys
(Vicki Peterson / Bob Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan
|
The following explaination was made of this song.
Vicki: It’s about boys . . . Let’s just say have a youthful outlook
|
Not really lovers, it’s more than just a friend
We tend to take up where our happiness ends
And there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do or say
To keep them safe, the little boy at play
Never, never boys
So sad and tender
Never, never boys
Tell me their woes
Never could enjoy loves’ sweet surrender
Cuz I keep on fallin’ for never, never boys
He tries to tell me, I’m what he’s looking for
Straight from his mother’s house, to my front door
And there’s nothing that I wouldn’t say or do
To keep the truth from ever shining through
Never, never boys
Cryin’ on my shoulder
Never, never boys
Tell me their woes
Never could enjoy, never growing older
Cuz I keep on fallin’ for never, never boys
This would be easier to play
If I were a never girl, living in a never, never world
I know he needs me, and I know he’ll never change
And I can understand why that’s not so strange
Cuz if you don’t grow up you don’t have to be
Intimate, responsible or free
Never, never - Never, never boys
So sad and tender
Never, never boys
Tell me their woes
Never could enjoy, loves’ sweet surrender
Cuz I keep on fallin’ for never, never boys
Yeah, I keep on fallin’ for never, never boys

Numb
(Vicki Peterson)
Lead Singer: Vicki
If you want I’ll share these things
Seering heartache
Wouldn’t you take these shooting stars from my veins
Swollow them for comfort food
Like I want to become numb.
I can smell you on my clothes
Can taste you on my tongue
I knew better I suppose
Suck you deep into my minds --
I want to become numb.
Numb, numb
Seduce me, sedate me,
Kiss both of my eyes
And make me sleep
And if you should wake me
Stay out of my way
Hey ----
Numb
Ummmm
If you want it (want it) I’ll share these things (share these things)
Searing heartache
Wouldn’t you take these shooting stars from my veins
Suck em’ down like comfort food
Numb
I want to be, wanna be, wanna become numb.

Danny, you’ve got a job to do
It’s not your fault, it’s true
You got your work cut out for you.
Danny, just went all hotel rogue
Line ‘um up all in a row
It’s not as if we don’t know, it’s true.
What’s that you always say,
You’ll find the coolest way
You’ll do the smartest things
You’ll make it all OK
So just to clear your mind
Well we’ll put up the sign,
Gone Fishin’
What’s that you always say,

So just to clear your mind
We’ll put up the sign,
Gone Fishin’
Danny, there’s no escape for you
Every time you turn around
There’s someone trying to track you down
Here and everywhere you go
TV and the radio, you’re not having any fun
You got a picture of a gun pointed right at you
Danny’s gone fishin
Danny’s gone fishin

This Painting
(Vicki Peterson)
Lead Singer: Vicki
You left me this painting, thanks a lot
Well you left me this painting and it’s all that I got
To remember you by.
I thought I’d come up and surprise you in bed,
But I found this canvas lying there instead
And that was goodbye.
A fat, blonde lady in an easy chair
With flowers and creatures growing out of her hair
I never liked it
You knew that, didn’t you?
You took the postcards and most of my clothes,
And those pictures we took and those videos.
But you don’t have it all.
Cuz I got the morning, northern light (northern light)
And I got a full moon so I can see it at night
Hanging there on my wall
A fat, blonde lady in an easy chair
With flowers and creatures growing out of her hair
I never liked it
You knew that, didn’t you?
A fat, blonde lady in an easy chair
With flowers and creatures growing out of her hair
I always hated it
You knew that, didn’t you?
Oh I’m takin’ in my this comical scene
Now what’s your intention, and what does it mean?
I was in love with you, you knew that too.
You knew that too
You knew that too

Fun To Lie
(Susan Cowsill / Vicki Peterson)
Lead Singer: Susan and Vicki
Hey pretty baby won’t you let me take you home with me
I want to be the one to save you, baby can’t you see?
I didn’t ask you to say those things
This ain’t no movie, I’m a human being.
There was no loaded gun to your head
You must be having some fun, it’s fun to lie.
Hey pretty baby, want to wake up with you every day,
And if you’re frightened I will kiss your fears away
I didn’t ask you to say those things
I wasn’t looking for no diamond ring.
I didn’t tie no noose around your neck
You must be having some fun, it’s fun to lie.
It’s fun to lie.
So it seems, everyone plays this game
No one means what they say.
So it seems, I should do the same
I should learn to play
I should learn to lie, lie
I didn’t ask you to say those things
I wasn’t looking for no diamond ring.
There was no loaded gun to your head.
You must be having some fun, it’s fun to lie.
It’s fun to lie.
I’ll learn to lie.

What Do You Want From Me
(Peter Holsapple)
Lead Singer: Vicki and Susan
We had a lot of fun,
One moment in the sun.
But now it’s said and done
What do you want from me?
You keep on trailing me like,
Like you’re some private eye.
Well, I can’t identify,
What do you want from me?
Try and take it
You keep callin’ me,
You keep houndin’ me,
Well I’ll be free
Just wait and see
Not in ninty nine
Not in your lifetime
So on, so forth, so on, so forth, baby, baby
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
You got a lot of nerve
To say we’re back on terms
We get what we deserve
What do you want from me?
And I’m not the best you had,
Why do you want me so bad,
Try buggin’ someone else
What do you want from me?
Try and take it
You keep callin’ me
You keep houndin’ me
Well I’ll be free
Just wait and see
Not in ninty nine
Not in your lifetime
So on, so forth, so on, so forth, So on, so forth, so on, so forth,
What do you want?
We had a lot of fun
One moment in the sun
But now it’s said and done
What do you want from me?
You keep on trailing me like
Like you’re some private eye.
Well, I can’t identify,
What do you want from me?
(What do you want from me?)
What do you want (you want) what do you want?

Wish You
(Vicki Peterson)
Lead Singer: Vicki
I built a fire, burning so high, it hurt my eyes, it hurt my eyes
And I can’t stand the quiet, don’t want to hear myself think,
I’ll go for a drive, go for a drive
I miss you, that’s all
I wish you
No, I don’t think it’s funny, cuz I don’t think at all,
I’ve nothing to say, I just wanted to call
And so what are you afraid of, is it so very strange,
As once we were friends, so we can remain
I miss you, that’s all
I wish you
I miss you, that’s all
I wish you
Now I’ve burned all the incense and the room smells of you
It’s not a big thing, it’s just a phase that I’m going through
I miss you, that’s all
I wish you
I miss you, that’s all
I wish you
I miss you, that’s all
I wish you
Iiiiiiii
Iiiiiiii

Cuddly Toy
(Harry Nilsson)
Lead Singer: Susan
|
The following explaination was made of this song.
Susan: Davy passed away and of course we were all Monkees fans and I was in love with Davy. He was … I was only only one REALLY in love with him, the real way. And .. I hate to break it to all of ya’ll. Anyway, so Vics she held onto that info for three days before she told me because she wanted to get some work done. Because I was going to go all fetal on her. (Vicki: I’m the practical one) She is. So we decided to do a song to honor Davy and we picked a Nilsson song because we love Nilsson and the Psychos used to sing this song 22 years ago.

You're not only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the only choo-choo train that was left out in the rain
The day after Santa came
You're not the only cherry delight that was left out in the night
And gave up without a fight
You're not the only cuddly toy that was ever enjoyed by any boy
You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother
The kind of company you keep
I never told you not to love no other
You must have dreamt it in your sleep
La la la la La la la la La la la

You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother

You're not the only choo-choo train that was left out in the rain
The day after Santa came
You're not the only cherry delight that was left out in the night
And gave up without a fight
