Pere Ubu Lyrics
Trouble On Big Beat Street
Love Is Like Gravity
You are the Earth.Honey, I am the Moon.
Around and around I go.
Around and around I go
warding off meteor blows.
I light the fearsome night.
Oh, I like fearsome nights.
Always a moonbeam in your eye.
Always a moonbeam in your eye.
Oh, hurry, hurry...
Love is just like gravity.
Love is just like gravity.
I ain't going nowhere.
Now, I may shimmy
and I may sway across the night
but I'm here to stay.
I am here to stay.
Don't pull on me so hard, honey.
I will always be the moonbeam in your eye.
Don't pull on me so hard.
Honey, I'll be the moonbeam in your eye.
Yeah, come on, take it...
Love is just like gravity.
Love, just like gravity.
Love, just like gravity.
Honey, you are the Earth.
I am the Moon.
Around and around I go
warding off all them meteor blows.
I light the fearsome nights.
I like the fearsome nights.
I light the fearsome nights.
Always the moonbeam in your eye.
Always the moonbeam in your eye.
Always the moonbeam in your eye.

Moss Covered Boondoggle
I've got a moss covered boondoggle.I'm gonna hornswoggle you.
Hey, muggins, tie it on, tie it on, tie it on.
Tie it on, tie it on now, like a ribbon
Don't cry when you see me go.

Like a house on a hill I remember you still.

Don't cry when you see me go.
Don't cry when you see me going.

Worried Man Blues
I cross the Mississippi on US49, heading east. In Clarksdale, US49 intersects Highway 61 and that is the Crossroads of Blues Legend. Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil. Pablo Picasso never sold his soul to the devil but a black guy from the Delta - I guess that's gotta be the explanation. Anyway... On one corner is a laundromat - The Devil May Care QuickieMat. In the window is a sign, - 'Lay It Down, Suds It Up.' Across the road is a Popeye Fried Chicken. I go in the drive-through lane and stop at the menu board. A voice from the speaker says, "How, how, how may I serve you?" I order a 3-piece chicken dinner with hush puppies and a Sprite. "How, how, how do you want that chicken?" Extra crispy, I say and proceed to the pickup window. Howlin Wolf leans out with a neatly folded bag dwarfed in his fist. Driving off I remember the pecan pie slice I wanted to order. I park and go inside. Robert Zimmerman and Alan Lomax wait behind the counter. Muddy Waters, wearing the manager's badge, is bussing tables. A song is playing on the jukebox.Takes a worried man to sing a worried song.
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song.
I am worried now but I won't be worried long.
I went down the river, lay down to sleep.
The night is a river
that hides the further shore and a bottom deep.
When I woke shackles bound my heart
29 links of chain
and on each link initial of my name.
Takes a worried man to sing a worried song.
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song.
I am worried now, I won't be worried long.
I asked that judge
What might be my crime.
Judge, tell me what is my fine.
Son, it's 21 years on the Soda Mountain line.
Train she ride
16 coaches long
The train she rides
16 coaches long
The girl I love
is on that train, on that train and gone.
Takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
I am worried now, I won't be worried long
Anyone asks you who composed that song
Anyone asks you
Who composed that song?
Tell 'em t'was I, at it all day long.
Tell 'em t'was I, it was all day long.
Takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
I am worried, won't be worried long

Let's Pretend
Let's pretend that we're a pair.A pair of what?
Let's pretend that we're in love.
Let's pretend the sky's above and below.
Let's pretend.
Let's pretend we might have a future.
Let's pretend that we have found our future.
Let's pretend it's you and me.
Let's pretend I will be you and you might be me, too.
Let's pretend we have found each other.
Let's pretend.

Satan's Hamster
Somewhere down a road from here.Somehow in the light it might be clearer
how to get me home.
Take me home...How to take me home.
In this fraudulent world
what will come of you and me.
Aah-ah, oh what will come of you and me?
Ain't gonna turn this wheel no more.
Ain't gonna turn this wheel.
Round and round we go.
Up and down, up and down.
Ain't gonna turn this wheel no more.
Ain't gonna turn this wheel.
Ain't gonna turn this wheel no more.
Ain't gonna turn this wheel.
This cage is a devil's game.
There are no rules.
> It may feel like chaos.
It isn't.
It may look real.
It's theater.

Crazy Horses
There's a message floating in the air.Crazy horses riding everywhere.
It's a warning, it's in every tongue.
Stop them crazy horses on the run.
What a show, there they go,
smoking up the sky, yeah.
Crazy horses all got riders
and they're you and I.
Crazy horses.
Never stop and they never die.
They keep on puffing how they multiply.
Crazy horses, will they never halt?
If they keep on moving then it's all our fault, yeah
What a show, there they go
smoking up the sky, yeah.
Crazy horses all got riders
and they're you and I, yeah.
Crazy horses.
Crazy horses.

Uh Oh
The good ole days were never Good Ole Days.It was today and maybe tomorrow.
Tomorrow never turns out how it's supposed to.
Tomorrow is a Turkish prison movie
written by a hack.
Why would I want to be a character in a story like that?
Deliver unto me Big Beat Street
where lovers compete, oh yeah.
Beg, steal or borrow tomorrow.
Come up with a scheme
on the way from a dream.
Flying cars.
Mothmen on Mars.
Lightning bugs trapped in peanut butter jars.
Deliver unto me Big Beat Street
where lovers compete
pop radios beep
in pulsing heat, asphalt reflected.
In the never-ending now
you've got me and I've got thou.
UFO Theatre.
Conspiracy traumas.
Young marble giants.
Low spark high llamas.
Tomorrow never turns out
what it's supposed to be about.
Deliver unto me Big Beat Street
where lovers compete
pop radios beep.
In the never-ending now
you've got me and I've got thou.
Beg, steal or borrow tomorrow.
Beg, steal or borrow tomorrow.
Beg, steal or borrow tomorrow.
Deliver unto me Big Beat Street
where lovers compete
pop radios beep, uh oh...
Big Beat Street.
Big Beat Street.
