"Certain of the Truth" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf Kier: overload wk-68
wk0685 - copyright wolf kier 2012

I was certain of the truth
until just today
when I found a daisy
underneath my
windscreen wiper blade
I was shattered, I was rattled
I was harried, I was stirred
Could that daisy mean
that the ghost of love
would soon return
to me?

And I know that no one else
could have left it there
except for you
you fiend, you ghoul!

Are you back to complicate my days?
Are you back to stimulate my nights?
Are you back to bring me back to life?


Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth
Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth
Are you back to bring me back to life?

I was certain of the truth
until today

I was certain of the truth
that you had left me in my cave
with a fire and a rock
and a bearskin artist's smock
Left to holler and to groan
at the dinosaurs and Gods
and scratch pictures of you
in the wall with a stone.

But now you return
you fiend, you ghoul!
you fiend, you ghoul!

Are you back to complicate my days? Hell hound!
Are you back to stimulate my nights? Monster!
Are you back to bring me back to life? Help me?

Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth
Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth
Are you back to bring me back to life? I was certain of the truth

I was certain of the truth
until today.

Now there you stand
in all your glory
A revelation, with trepidation
Will you stay for good this time?
A second coming, silent running,
but that's another story....

ba bara ba ba ba...

I was certain of the truth
until you turned back
towards that door
You'd come back to see...
To watch me in my misery

And now you disappear again
You fiend, you ghoul!
Monster!

You just came back to complicate my days
And haunt me every night (monster!)

Now I'm certain of the truth
One more time....

Help me! Hell hound!

ba bara ba ba ba.....
ba bara ba ba BAAAAA.....

Track Name: gasp for breath
`++++ LYRICS +++++++
"Gasp For Breath" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf kier: overload wk-68
wk0683 - copyright wolf kier 2012

Ah ah ah ah

You slink around here in the morning
wearing nothing but my shirt
and I'm a sucker for that look baby
you wear it well, so well it hurts
You're the sorcerer's apprentice
Let this magician do his things
come to Merlin, baby,
let's make this mattress sing


We started at the bottom
and we worked our way on up
and as we shot up through the clouds
we gasped for breath
and as we shot up through the clouds
we grasped for breath
ah ah ah ah


The casino owes us money
we did without for far too long
Pay no heed to the guilt you feel
revenge is sweet, but not always wrong
If rabbits live in hats
these 4 aces in my hand
will find their way on home
and they'll meet all of our demands

We started at the bottom
and we worked our way on up
and as we shot up through the clouds
we gasped for breath
and as we shot up through the clouds
we grasped for breath

Each day them baby steps
Each day them baby steps
Taking baby steps
I love me them baby steps

A string of dice around your ankle
stirs the gambler in my heart
When we're winning it jangles
I saw your soul in half
Each time I bow
I taste contract ink still on my lips
as our audience is shuffled
up and down the Sunset Strip.


We started at the bottom
and we worked our way on up
and as we climbed up over clouds
we gasped for breath (we gasped for breath) ah ah ah ah
and as we shot up over the clouds
we grasped for breath
We started at the bottom
and we worked our way on up
and as we shot up through the clouds
we gasped for breath
and as we shot up through the clouds
we grasped for breath
ah ah ah ah

"One Two Three What For? (The Stupor)" by wolf kier
from the album wolf kier: overload wk-68
wk0677 - copyright wolf kier 2012

I said, Have mercy child, have pity
You got me rolling in my grave
What did you do? What did you do?
With all the money that I saved?

You spent it all on candy
And the pain it still remains
You find yourself a slave
of the stupor of today

The stupor of today
One Two Three Four
What for?
One Two Three Four
What for?
Four Four Four Four
What for?

You said you wanted to wear fine clothes
and I tried to dress you well
You said you wanted knowledge
So I sent you to the learning well.
You said you needed precious time
I gave you all of outer space
and now you find yourself a slave
of the stupor of today

They say that all things come
to those who wait
But that's not
the case for me
I gave you much more
than you wished for
and you blew it all away
Now your teeth rot
from the candy
and the stupor of today....

You asked for more
I looked away
You wasted every
dime I saved
You lived in vain
and died alone
Now I've got all kinds of
forever
to torment your
sorry soul

Find yourself a slave
of the stupor of today

The stupor of today
Reached in and stole your sense away
The stupor of today
Shiny objects, they called your name
The stupor of today
Echoes of my words in that cave inside your brain
The stupor of today
Echoes of my words just will not go away

One two three
What for?

"Overlload" by wolf kier
from the album wolf kier: overload wk-68
wk0678 - copyright wolf kier 2012

Load:
Awf.
Cha cha cha cha
If I'm in overload forgive me. Ow!

I'm learning to sleep
with 27 people in my bathroom
wandering in my bedroom
any time they please

I'm learning to speak
with dead people talking at me
filling up my head
with all the things that they once said

How hard can it be?
How hard can it be?

If I'm in overload forgive me.
If I hit the road forgive me

I'm hanging on a bough
Blowin' in the wind
Waiting on a sound
Maybe I"m waiting on a jet plane
To get me out of here
To get me out of overload

I'm learning how to keep
my focus on the road
despite the danger signs
Speeding up way too fast
I'm focused on that
sweet distant tomorrow
Where peace might
just be mine at last!

and noise in my head
Is left far behind

If I'm in overload forgive me.
If I hit the road forgive me

Overload.

If I leave here
the 27 people
living in my bathroom
will have to
find another
place to
congregate
And if I leave here
the multitude of dead folks
stuck between my ears
will have to
move along
to the oblivion
where they belong
Move along..

Move along...
Cha cha cha cha

I'm learning how to juggle
the diverse pharmaceuticals
modern medicine's miracles
and keep an even keel

I'm learning how to speak
only when spoken to
only when I'm paid to do
on bleeding heart TV chat shows.

Ouch!

If I'm in overload forgive me.
If I hit the road forgive me

I'm hanging on a bough
Blowin' in the wind

If I'm in overload forgive me.
If I hit the road forgive me

Waiting on a sound

Get me out of here
Get me out of here

Maybe I'm waiting on a jet plane
To get me out of here
To get me out of overload

Cha cha cha cha.

Track Name: there goes the groom
`++++ LYRICS +++++++

"There Goes the Groom" by wolf kier
from the album wolf kier: overload wk-68
wk0676 - copyright wolf kier 2012

This bow tie's too tight
Something ain't right
This monkey suit don't fit
And I've have enough of it

(I gotta fly)

Did someone say "Here comes the bride
and there goes the groom".
Something about marriage
that's full of impending doom

Here comes the bride
and there goes the groom

Credit check checked out
Some folks say I'm a good bite
Some folks say I might be a catch

But where's the catch?
(Where's the catch?)

Did someone say "Here comes the bride
and there goes the groom".
Something about marriage
that's full of impending doom

Here comes the bride
and there goes the groom

there goes the groom
there goes the groom
there goes the groom
there goes the groom
(vroom vroom)
there goes the wedding day

There goes the groom.

I came for cake I'm getting cake!
He's a no good jilting fool
I told you that boy was no good
He used and abused her
Left her stranded at the alter

(Stranded at the altar)

So hand me my cane
(I bid you good afternoon)
Decades will pass before I'm back again

And if it's all the same to you
(Pass me my hat)
(toodle-oo)
(I gotta fly)
I'll pass this time

Did someone say "Here comes the bride (I'll pass this time)
and there goes the groom". (I'll pass this time)
(a marriage) full of impending doom

This time is mine (there goes the groom)
This time is mine (there goes the groom)
This time is mine (impending doom)

"When Memory Forgets" by wolf kier
from the album wolf kier: overload wk-68
wk0674 - copyright wolf kier 2012

When memory forgets
When memory forgets
When memory forgets
When memory forgets

I looked down to find
that words
words had become
had become some pretty thing
arranged on a page
like odd lengths of string
strange and deranged

I've forgotten how to read
and all these words mean nothing to me

When memory forgets
When memory forgets
When memory forgets
When memory forgets

Where does this tightrope lead?
What secrets does my memory keep?

And all of these words
these beautiful shapes
Strange and deranged
and laid out on a page
Words that meant the world to me
Gone from me,
cos I've forgotten
How to read

"Boatswain! Boatswain!
Good, speak to the mariners: fall to't, yarely,
or we run ourselves aground: bestir, bestir!"

And all of these words
These beautiful shapes
Strange and deranged
and laid out on a page
gone from me
because I've forgotten
how to read

When memory forgets
All my delights and my regrets

When memory forgets
All my delights and my regrets

I looked down to find that words
had become just odd lengths of string
arranged on a page
deranged
I looked up to find that this place was not mine
Well, this half was here
But the other half had
disa - disa - disa - disappeared


(And all of these words
These beautiful shapes
Strange and deranged
and laid out on a page
gone from me
because I've forgotten
how to read )


When memory forgets
When memory forgets
When memory forgets
When memory forgets

"A Stranger Calls" by wolf kier
from the album wolf kier: overload wk-68
wk0670 - copyright wolf kier 2012

Got it, got it good
take it like a man

In a bar down in Haiti
with expensive apéritifs
and strange things to eat
I sat in a hat all hungover

That's where we met

With a bug on my shoulder
the size of a coffee cup
That's where we met

A time of celebration
After a fling by the sea
and now a stranger calls
says he's got something for me

Got it, got it good
Take it like a man

In a hotel in Haiti
An open mind can be so unrefined
We put caution aside
and tipped heavily for privacy

A time of celebration
After a fling by the sea
and now a stranger calls
says he's got something for me

If it ain't worth the time of day
It ain't no love at all

Got it, got it good
Take it like a man

In a graveyard in Haiti
I found myself neck deep in sand
tripping people dancing round me
they say "Take it like a man"
I felt my body stop
But no rest for my eternal soul
All this dancing round, buried down.
(A time of celebration)
All this fancy dancing
(After a fling by the sea)
Who planned this...
(and now a stranger calls )
who planned this, who planned this party for me
(says he's got something for me)

Got it good
Take it Like a man
And now a stranger calls
says he's got something for me
Got it. Got it good
Take it Like a man

In a bar down in Haiti...

"Sort Of Nearly Almost" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf kier: overload wk-68
wk0673 - copyright wolf kier 2012

sort of nearly almost
sort of nearly almost
sort of nearly almost
sort of nearly almost

sort of nearly almost
had you in my arms
sort of nearly almost
made it all the way through
sort of nearly almost
made it all the way to breakfast
sort of nearly almost
said I love you

sort of nearly almost
sort of nearly almost
sort of nearly almost
sort of nearly almost

A beguiling pair of eyes
and an unassuming smile
and a point of view
I'd never ever
encountered before

An intriguing set of lies
but I saw through your disguise
that sort of nearly almost
stole my heart away

sort of nearly almost
sort of nearly almost
sort of nearly almost
and the thought of nearly almost
falling in love with you
scares the hell out of me

A rope of sweet desire
wrapped around my wrists
sort of nearly almost
made a slave out of this
boy on this night
almost made
a slave to love of me

sort of nearly almost
met the dawn with you
but the night is unforgiving
there are some things it won't hide
the night is unforgiving
and there are some things
that money can't buy.

sort of nearly almost
sort of nearly almost
sort of nearly almost
gave my heart to you

sort of nearly almost
sort of nearly almost
sort of nearly almost
sort of nearly almost
etc...

Track Name: blessed angel (fell down from the sky)
`++++ LYRICS +++++++
"Blessed Angel" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf kier: overload wk-68
wk0688 - copyright wolf kier 2012

I saw a blessed angel
Fallen from the sky
Thought I was gonna die
Oh what a sight
Saw a blessed angel
falling from the sky
Saw a blessed angel
Thought I was gonna die

Sincerely do you want me to believe
that an angel fell right from the sky?
Sincerely do you expect me to believe
that an angel fell right from the sky?
that an angel came
blessed angel right from the sky.


I crossed Arizona
barefoot on highway number 40
When I reached California
I said a prayer, I bought some shoes,
cos I learned all there was about singing the blues

I saw a blessed angel
Fallen from the sky
Saw a blessed angel
falling from the sky
Saw a blessed angel
Thought I was gonna die

Made a huge mess on the sidewalk!



End days down at Landsend
End days down at Landsend
End days down at Landsend
End days down at Landsend
Why would I pretend?

These things never turn out well
TV came to see but couldn't tell
no commercials left to sell
wooden nickels in the wishing well.

I saw a blessed angel (I swear it's true)
Fallen from the sky (between me and you)
Saw a blessed angel (I swear it's true)
falling from the sky (I thought I was going to die!)
Saw a blessed angel
Thought I was gonna die


Saw a blessed angel
falling from the sky
Saw a blessed angel
Thought I was gonna die

Sincerely do you want me to believe
that an angel fell right from the sky?
Sincerely do you expect me to believe
that an angel fell right from the sky?
that an angel came
blessed angel right from the sky?
Track Name: everything you said
`++++ LYRICS +++++++

"Everything You Said" by wolf kier
from the album wolf kier: overload wk-68
wk0662 - copyright wolf kier 2012

Everything you said on the first day we met
Everything you said has come true
You were talking 'bout another guy
Another guy not me
And now everything you said,
Everything you said has come true

You talked about the future
and all the joys you did expect
From a lover that was equal
to another guy not me
Now by some process of osmosis
by some magic therapy
I'm the man in his place
and you're the girl
for me
(you're the girl for me)

Everything you said
Everything you said
Everything you said
Has come true.

I'm listening (I'm listening)
I'm watching (I'm watching)
I'm learning (I'm learning)
I'm growing (I'm growing)
Into the man
You wanted

Everything you said has come true.

Now I'm taking out the garbage
And I'm sweeping out the past
And parts of that other guy
Are wrapped in plastic bags

Everything you said, you see
On the first day we met
Everything you said
Everything you said
has come true

You were talking about another guy
another guy another guy not me
but everything you said has come true

Now, kiss me you fool!


Careful what you wish for
Be content with what you get
Dream aloud and let the crowd
Keep you from regret

You see

Everything you said
Everything you said (has come true)
Everything you said
Has come True
(Everything you said)
True
True
True
