Ghostwriter

Available on Split album with Storm The Tower

Does anyone ever get their due?
I don’t think it will take much from you,
To find out that it’s scarcely true,
If you take the time to watch Shampoo,
Keep in mind the years of solitude,
Some angry men put her through

She didn’t have to prove anything,
Still she took one for the team,
Now we can say how it changed everything

Taking her cue from people she knew,
Ida Lupino and Eisenstein to name a few,
She is searching for the truth,
She’s a ghostwriter - Hollywood outsider,
Ghostwriter at the typewriter,
Ghostwriter - everything inside her

She didn’t have to prove anything,
Still she took one for the team,
Now we can say how it changed everything

She didn’t have to prove anything,
Still she took one for the team,
Now we can say how it changed everything,
Everything

Girlfriend In A Coma

Available on Altamont 99 singles collection CD, Kittums In A Coma 7", You Think You're Cool CD. Originally recorded by The Smiths.

Girlfriend in a coma,
I know, I know it’s serious,
Girlfriend in a coma,
I know, I know it’s serious

There were times when I wish I’d strangled her,
But you know that I would hate anything to happen to her,
No I don’t want to see her

Do you really think she’ll pull through?
Do you really think she’ll pull through?
No

Girlfriend in a coma,
I know, I know it’s serious,
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye baby, goodbye

There were times when I wish I’d murdered her,
But you know that I would hate anything to happen to her,
Would you please let me see her

Do you really think she’ll pull through?
Do you really think she’ll pull through?
No

Let me whisper my last goodbyes,
I know it’s serious

Girl In A Magazine

Available on Camels, Spilled Corona And The Sound Of Mariachi Bands singles collection LP/CD, This Song Is For Kathi 7"

Girl that's in a magazine,
Do you know what you're doing?
You told me that you were free,
Do you know what you're doing?
This is not a jealous song,
Do you know what you're doing?
But how long can you prolong?

You told me that you were free,
You couldn't be held by their chains,
Isn't it funny how things change,
You told me it was all routine and that you could walk away,
Can you say that today?

Girl that's in a magazine,
Do you know what you're doing?
You told me that you were free,
Do you know what you're doing?
This is not a jealous song,
Do you know what you're doing?
But how long can you prolong?

She looks at you from page 102,
She's got vacant lifeless eyes, they tell no lies,
She goes to the closet and gets the gun,
The only act with honesty,
And that's the part you'll never see

Girl that's in a magazine,
Do you know what you're doing?
You told me that you were free,
Do you know what you're doing?
This is not a jealous song,
Do you know what you're doing?
But how long can you prolong?

Good Judge Of Character

Available on Peel Out In The States Programs 11&12 compilation, Quetzalcoatl LP/CD, She Never Leaves The Neighbourhood 7" (radio session version), The Ecstasy Of Communication CD, You Think You're Cool CD

She never leaves the neighborhood,
She's a good judge of character,
I see her once in a while when I go by the uptown,
She says "Take care baby, take care baby, take care baby",
And I say "Doesn't it get cold out here?
Doesn't it get cold out here?
Doesn't it get cold out here?
Doesn't it get cold out here?"

She's from Austin but lives in her car,
She asks me on a date I can't afford,
She's been to whore's hell but still manages to smile,
She says "Take care baby, take care baby, take care baby",
And I say "Doesn't it get cold out here?
Doesn't it get cold out here?
Doesn't it get cold out here?
Doesn't it get cold out here?"

She's from Austin but lives in her car,
She's from Austin, lots of money there,
She's been to whore's hell but still manages to smile,
She says "Take care baby, take care baby, take care baby",
And I say "Doesn't it get cold out here?
Doesn't it get cold out here?
Doesn't it get cold out here?
Doesn't it get cold out here?
Cold out here?"

"Doesn't it get cold out here?
Doesn't it get cold out here?
Doesn't it get cold out here?
Doesn't it get cold out here?"

Guitar Center

Available on West X North South compilation, Whorehouse: Songs And Stories LP/CD

Back when I was 14 years old,
I bought a Hondo Explorer style guitar

Yeah, my first guitar,
You can keep your stupid lies,
You can keep your leather ties

Now we want the San Diego sound,
Now we want the Les Paul Standard sound

Yeah, my next guitar,
You can keep your stupid lies,
You can keep your leather ties

Yeah, my first guitar,
You can keep your stupid lies,
You can keep your leather ties

Gulf Breeze, Florida

Available on One Mississippi LP/CD.

Let's get your car and go,
There's nothing new in New Mexico,
And I feel it in my bones,
Time stops on the Gulf Coast

Gulf Breeze, Florida,
Gulf Breeze, Florida,
Gulf Breeze, Florida,
Gulf Breeze, Florida

It's in the night sky,
It's unidentified,
It's real. It's recorded. It's refined,
It's hypothetically classified,

Gulf Breeze, Florida,
Gulf Breeze, Florida,
Gulf Breeze, Florida,
Gulf Breeze, Florida

It's our vacation,
Across the nation,
The FBI may tap our phones,
But we love to speak in code

Gulf Breeze, Florida,
Gulf Breeze, Florida,
Gulf Breeze, Florida,
Gulf Breeze, Florida

It's in the night sky

Gulf Breeze, Florida,
Gulf Breeze, Florida,
Gulf Breeze, Florida,
Gulf Breeze, Florida
