WILCO - SKY BLUE SKY
Oh, the band marched on in formation The brass was phasing tunes I couldnt place Windows open and raining in Maroon, yellow, blue, gold and gray The drunks were ricocheting The old buildings downtown Empty so long ago Windows broken and dreaming So happy to leave what was my home With a sky blue sky This rotten time Wouldnt seem so bad to me now Oh, I didnt die I should be satisfied I survived That's good enough for now With a sky blue sky This rotten time Wouldnt seem so bad to me now Oh, if I didnt die I should be satisfied I survived That's good enough for now
WILCO - A SHOT IN THE ARM
The ashtray says You were up all night When you went to bed With your darkest mind Your pillow wept You covered your eyes And you finally slept While the sun caught fire You've changed We fell in love In the key of C We walked along Down by the sea You followed me down...
WILCO - I MUST BE HIGH
You always wanted more time, To do what you always wanted to do Now you got it And I, I must be high, To say goodbye Bye bye bye You never said you needed this And you're pissed that you missed the very last kiss, From my lips And I, I must be high, To say goodbye Bye bye bye And you never looked in my eyes, Long enough to find any piece of mind But now you got it And I, I must be high, To let you say goodbye Bye bye bye
WILCO - KINGPIN
I wanna be your kingpin Living in Pekin I wanna be your bigwig Living in Pekin I got the flu and away I flew NYC PD blue Dimetapp and spinal tap City maps and hand claps Statue of Liberty play It only works once Don't throw it away Cause I wanna be your kingpin Living in Pekin Living in Pekin Living in How can I How can I give my love to you when I don't know what to do
WILCO - JESUS ETC
Jesus, don't cry you can rely on me, honey you can combine anything you want i'll be around you were right about the stars each one is a setting sun Tall buildings shake voices escape singing sad sad songs tuned to chords strung down your cheeks bitter melodies turning your orbit around Don't cry you can rely on me honey you can come by any time you want i'll be around you were right about the stars each one is a setting sun Tall buildings shake voices escape singing sad sad songs tuned to chords strung down your cheeks bitter melodies turning your orbit around Voices whine skyscrapers are scraping together your voice is smoking last cigarettes are all you can get turning your orbit around

WILCO - FAR FAR AWAY
Far, far away From those city lights That might be shining on you tonight Far, far away from you On the dark side of the moon I long to hold you in my arms and sway Kiss and ride on the CTA I need to see you tonight And those bright lights Oh, I know it's right Deep in my heart...
WILCO - RED EYED AND BLUE
We've got solid state technology Tapes on the floor Some songs we can't afford to play When we came here today All I wanted to say was how much I miss you Alcohol and cotton balls And some drugs we can't afford on the way When we came here today We all felt something true Now I'm red-eyed and blue
WILCO - RESERVATIONS
How can I convince you it's me I don't like And not be so indifferent to the look in your eyes When I've always been distant And I've always told lies for love I'm bound by these choices so hard to make I'm bound by the feeling so easy to fake None of this is real Enough to take me from you Oh I've got reservations About so many things But not about you I know this isn't what you were wanting me to say How can I get closer and be further away When the truth Proves it's beautiful to lie Oh I've got reservations About so many things But not about you I've got reservations About so many things But not about you Not about you Not about you Not about you It's not about you
WILCO - WE'RE JUST FRIENDS
Over and over and over again You say that we're just friends Forget the implications Infatuations end If love's so easy, why's it hard I can't imagine ever being apart I'll come back to you It'd be brand new But I promise We're just friends Over and over and over again I try to make amends For everything that I've done wrong My whole world just spins Make some coffee, hold me up Try to talk me out of giving up I'll come back to you It'll be brand new But I promise We're just friends
WILCO - I GOT YOU (AT THE END OF THE CENTURY)
I got you and that's all I need I got you and that's all I need I got you and that's all I need I got you and I still believe That you're all that I ever need It's you All All way back in the seventies You were my little TV queen Y'er tarzan and friend Janine I got you I got you and I still believe That you're all that I'll ever need It's you All It's the end of the century I can't think of anything Except you It's the end of the century And I can't think of anything But you, all, all, I, need I got you I got you, babe I got you I got you I got you I got you
WILCO - HOTEL ARIZONA
Hotel in Arizona Made us all want to feel like stars Rental cars with tinted windows Leave another number for me And even if I make it through That's just something that I have to get used to That's just something I have to get used to I feel some connection between you and me Well I guess there's some direction Maybe you can't see But even at the interview That's not something that I'm gonna get used to That's not something I'm gonna get used to Hello? Can you hear me? Hello? That's all there is That's all there is (That's all) I guess all this history is just a mystery to me One more worried whisper right in my ear
WILCO - LAMINATED CAT
Springtime comes and the leaves are back on the trees again Snipers are harder to see my friends Weeding out the weekends Summer comes and gravity undoes you You're happy because of the lovely way the sunshine bends Hiding from your close friends Weeding out the weekends Candy left over from Halloween A unified theory of everything Love left over from lovers leaving Books, they all know they're not worth reading It's not for the season When autumn comes you sit in your chair and you stare At the TV square Hiding in the deep end Weeding out the weekends Winter comes and the days all start late There's motion on the boughs where the dark shapes prowl Feeling out the feelings Feeling out the feeling Candy left over from Halloween A unified theory of everything Love left over from lovers leaving Books, they all know they're not worth reading They're not worth reading
WILCO - WAR ON WAR
It's a war on war It's a war on war It's a war on war It's a war on war It's a war on war It's a war on war It's a war on war There's a war on You're gonna lose You have to lose You have to learn how to die Let's watch the miles flying by Let's watch the miles flying by You are not my typewriter But you could be my demon Moving forward through flaming doors You have to lose You have to learn how to die If you want to want to be alive Okay? You have to lose You have to lose You have to learn how to die If you want to want to be alive You have to die You have to die You have to learn how to die If you want to want to be alive Okay?
WILCO - CASINO QUEEN
Well the money's pouring down And the people all look down And it's floating out of town I hit the second deck And I spent my paycheck And my wife that I just met She's looking like a wreck Casino Queen My lord you're mean I've been gambling like a fiend On your tables so green I always bet on black Blackjack I'll pay you back The room fills with smoke And I'm already broke And the dealer keeps on joking As he takes my last token Casino Queen My lord you're mean I've been gambling like a fiend On your tables so green Casino Queen My lord you're mean I've been gambling like a fiend On your tables so green
WILCO - HEAVY METAL DRUMMER
Oh I sincerely miss those heavy metal bands I used to go see on the landing in the summer She fell in love with the drummer She fell in love with the drummer She fell in love Shiny shiny pants and bleached blond hair A double kick drum by the river in the summer She fell in love with the drummer Another then another She fell in love I miss the innocence I've known Playing Kiss covers beautiful and stoned Unlock my body and move myself to dance Into warm liquid, flowing blowing glass Classical music blasting masks the ringing in my ears Oh I sincerely miss those heavy metal bands I used to go see on the landing in the summer She fell in love with the drummer She fell in love with another She fell in love I miss the innocence I've known Playing Kiss covers beautiful and stoned I miss the innocence I've known Playing Kiss covers beautiful and stoned Playing Kiss covers beautiful and stoned
WILCO - YOU ARE MY FACE
I remember my mother's Sister's husband's brother Working in the goldmine full-time Filling in for sunshine Filing into tight lines Of ordinary beehives The door screams I hate you Hate you hanging around my blue jeans Why is there no breeze No currency of leaves No current through the water wire No feelings I can see I trust no emotion I believe in locomotion But I've turned to rust as we've discussed Though I must have let you down too many times In the dirt and the dust I have no idea how this happens All of my maps have been overthrown Happenstance has changed my plans So many times my heart has been outgrown Now everybody's feeling all alone Can't tell you who I am When everybody's feeling all alone Can't tell you who I am I am looking forward Toward the shadows tracing bones Our faces stitched and sewing Our houses hemmed into homes Trying to be thankful Our stories fit into phones And our voices lift so easily A gift given accidentally When we're not sure We're not alone
WILCO - CALIFORNIA STARS
I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight On a bed of California stars I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight On a bed of California stars I'd love to feel Your hand touching mine And tell me why I must keep working on Yes I'd give my life To lay my head tonight on a bed of California...
WILCO - KAMERA
I need a camera To my eye To my eye, reminding Which lies have I been hiding Which echoes belong I've counted out Days to see how far I've driven in the dark With echoes in my heart Phone my family Tell 'em I'm lost on the sidewalk And no it's not okay I smashed a camera I wanna know why To my eye, deciding Which lies have I been hiding Which echoes belong I'm counting on A heart I know by heart To walk me through this war Where memories distort Phone my family Tell 'em I'm lost on the sidewalk And no it's not okay I'm counted out And no one knows how far (tell 'em I'm lost) I've driven in the dark (tell 'em I'm lost) With echoes in my heart (tell 'em I'm lost) Phone my family, tell 'em I'm lost Yeah, I'm lost And no it's not okay No it's not okay No it's not okay

WILCO - BOX FULL OF LETTERS
I've got a box full of letters Think you might like to read Some things that you might like to see But they're all addressed to me I wish I had a lotta answers 'Cause that's the way it should be For all these questions Being directed at me I just can't find the time To write my mind The way I want it to read You'll come back again And I'll still be your friend I've got a lot of your records In a separate stack Some things that I might like to hear, but I Guess I'll give 'em back I wish I had a lotta answers 'Cause that's the way it should be For all these questions Being directed at me Just can't find the time To write my mind The way I want it to read You'll come back again And I'll still be your friend I can't find the time To write my mind The way I want it to read Just can't find the time To write my mind The way I want it to read
WILCO - SHE'S A JAR
She's a jar With a heavy lid My pop quiz kid A sleepy kisser With feelings hid She begs me not to miss her She says forever To light a fuse We could use A hand full of wheel And a day off And a bruised road However you might feel Tonight is real When I forget how to talk I sing Won't you please Bring that flash to shine And turn my eyes red Unless they close When you click And my face gets sick Stuck Like a question unposed Just climb aboard The tracks of a train's arm In my fragile family tree And watch me floating inches above The people under me Please beware the quiet front yard I warned you Before there were water skies I warned you not to drive Dry your eyes you poor devil Are there really ones like these The ones I dream Float like leaves And freeze to spread skeleton wings I passed through before I knew you I believe it's just because Daddy's payday is not enough Oh I believe it's all because Daddy's payday is not enough Just climb aboard The tracks of a train's arm In my fragile family tree And watch me floating inches above The people under me She's a jar With a heavy lid My pop quiz kid A sleepy kisser A pretty war My feelings hid She begs me not to hit her

WILCO - I'M TRYING TO BREAK YOUR HEART LIVE
I am an American aquarium drinker I assassin down the avenue I'm hiding out in the big city blinking What was I thinking when I let go of you Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers This is not a joke so please stop smiling What was I thinking when I said it didn't hurt I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming Take you from the inside, baby hold on tight You were so right when you said I've been drinking What was I thinking when we said good night I want to hold you in the Bible-black predawn You're quite a quiet, domino, bury me now Take off your band-aid 'cause I don't believe in touchdowns What was I thinking when we said hello I always thought that if I held you tightly You'd always love me like you did back then Then I fell asleep in the city kept blinking What was I thinking when I let you back in I am trying to break your heart I am trying to break your heart But still I'd be lying if I said it wasn't easy I am trying to break your heart Disposable Dixie cup drinker I assassin down the avenue I've been hiding out in the big city blinking What was I thinking when I let go of you
WILCO - MISUNDERSTOOD
When you're back in your old neighborhood The cigarettes taste so good But you're so misunderstood You're so misunderstood There's something there that you can't find You look honest when you're telling a lie You hurt her but you don't know why You love her but you don't know why Short on long term goals There's a party there that we ought to go to If you still love rock and roll You still love rock and roll? It's only a quarter to three Reflecting off of your CD You're looking at a picture of me You're staring at a picture of me Take the guitar player for a ride 'Cause he ain't never been satisfied He thinks he owes some kind of debt It'll be years before he gets over it There's a fortune inside your head When all you touch turns to lead You think you might just crawl back in bed With the fortune inside your head I know you're just a mama's boy You're positively unemployed So misunderstood So misunderstood I know you've got a god-shaped hole You're bleeding out your heart full of soul You're so misunderstood You're so misunderstood You're so misunderstood You're so misunderstood I'd like to thank you all for nothing I'd like to thank you all for nothing at all I'd like to thank you all for nothing Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing at all Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing at all
