All lyrics by Jonathan Segel © 1995 Bumps of Goose1) Your New Boyfriend (ISRC us-hm9-05-36590)
The creases in your pillow leave lines upon your faceAs you wake up in the morning and you try to pretend
That you're still part of the human race
You drink your morning coffee and you try to decide
Whether you should drive yourself orJust go along for the ride
Well I’ll tell you what:
I’m not jealous anymore
I’m not jealous anymore
I’m not jealous anymore
I know you still love me
You're trying to escape it but it's always coming backAnd you know I’ll always be there every time that you retrack
You'll never get away and you'll never fall apart
And you'll never find anything more than me to fill
Your enormous heart
Well I’ll tell you what:
I’m not jealous anymore
I’m not jealous anymore
I’m not jealous anymore
I know you still love meYour new boyfriend—he is nothing to me
You're never going to miss me 'cuz I’m never going to go
And you know I’ll always be there for every act in the next show2) Pushing the Norton (ISRC us-hm9-05-36591)
I had it all together, I thought I’d done it all up fightI was going to make an entrance and make you forget our last night
I even learned the dances, I knew exactly where you'd be
But now I’m stuck here by myself, thank god there's no one here to see
I had such big plans
I had such big plans for us
I had such big plans but now I’m pushing the Norton

I’m pushing the Norton home
I’m pushing the Norton, pushing the Norton home
You were acting so indifferent, I thought that I could change your mind
When I came over and pulled up and offered to take you for a ride
I was going to take you away from the ace cafe
You're dancing there with other guys now, I guess that's where you're gonna stay
I had such big plans
I had such big plans for us
I had such big plans but now I’m pushing the Norton
I’m pushing the Norton home
I’m pushing the Norton, pushing the Norton home
Now in my daydreams, I see myself looking cool
But I’m getting so damn hot here, I feel like such a fool
All my plans for romance are dripping down with the sweat
That's running down the inside of my brand new leather set
I had such big plans
I had such big plans for us
I had such big plans but now I’m pushing the Norton
I’m pushing the Norton home
I’m pushing the Norton, pushing the Norton home
Again3) Strange New Fruit (ISRC us-hm9-05-36592)
From the bottom of the scene everything is peachy keen
To the top of fashion, really it's all just trash
Nothing's here to stay, it's all on credit anyway
No one is to blame, we're all doing just the sameThe temple of man: we disgrace it how we canAnd every other day someone finds a better way
Call it modern art, we're all doing our own part
Exploiting what we know, pulling what we don't in tow
Surely what you taste when you bite into this strange new fruit
Is a sweetness that you must now learn to enjoy
Every new sound just reflects what's around
Every new fad shows us what can be had
Every new taste is just tomorrow's waste
But what's really new shows itself in what we do
Surely what you taste when you bite into this strange new fruit

Is a sweetness that you must now learn to enjoy
So fly up to the sun, you'll burn out before you're done
Everything you say can be taken any way
When we all awake, we'll imagine what we'll make'til then the sickest joke will be ours until we choke
Surely what you taste when you bite into this strange new fruit
Is a sweetness that you must now learn to enjoy
Once they called us deviants, or if not that then criminals
Trying to coerce civilians' minds
Painting the sky a sulphur yellow and the water a rusty red
And the trees a sickening blue
Then but a few years ago, just near the factories
Even the officials saw that it was true
So now Mondrian's on cocktail napkins
Duchamp's in the dentist's officeKandinsky's in cartoons
You may not like it now but if it sticks around you'll learn to love it
Surely what you taste when you bite into this strange new fruit
Is a sweetness that you must now learn to enjoy4) Into the Lapping Waves (ISRC us-hm9-05-36593)
Now that the summer turns to auburn leaves
We roll our bicycles down the hill
We never wondered about what came next
We never thought of our own free will
We’d sneak away to behind a row of trees
Smoke one stolen cigarette
We never got the sign that we knew what we were doing,
That brown spot on the filter tip
You run away and the memories slip away
You run away and the memories they slip away
Like a stream sliding in, into the lapping waves
Like a stream sliding in, into the lapping waves
Into the lapping waves
With the first freeze of winterThe school had left the sprinklers onThe grass became a field of icy spikes
Seen in the early light of dawn
The tule fog it curled around our hips
We looked away across the fields
At all the landscapes we imagined to be out there
And all the secrets they’d reveal
You run away and the memories slip away
You run away and the memories they slip away
Like a stream sliding in, into the lapping waves
Like a stream sliding in, into the lapping waves
Into the lapping waves
Now that the leaves have all fallen to the ground
Smell of December in the air
I’ll bring you pomegranates from the tree in my front yard
We’ll break them apart to share5) Little Earthquake (ISRC us-hm9-05-36594)
Hey yon pale one, saw you coming half my life agoYour order’s only nun and so far left to go
I can’t tell you what you do to me
I can’t tell you what you mean to me
But you know that I love you when it’s me you’re making love to
Hey you looking through the blue
Come and whisper in my ear
Tell me what is true
I’ll tell you what I hear
I can’t tell you what you do to me
I can’t tell you what you mean to me
But you know that I love you when it’s me you’re making love to, lover
Hey little earthquake I thought I saw the ground shake
Hey little earthquake I thought I saw the wall tumble downYour craziness importune
Offers telling fortunes ofthat incense I smell
What business is it of mine?
What had those other madmen foretold?
What clouds often come?
What forms awake?

What forms awake?
Hey little earthquake I thought I saw the ground shake
Hey little earthquake I thought I saw the wall tumble down
I beg you long of legI try my whole life long
Find me to tell me why
Take me where I belong
I can’t tell you what you do to me
I can’t tell you what you mean to me
But you know that I love you when it’s me you’re making love to, lover
Hey little earthquake I thought I saw the ground shake
Hey little earthquake I thought I saw the wall tumble down
Hey little earthquake I thought I saw the ground shake
Hey little earthquake I thought I saw you
I thought I saw youI thought I saw youI thought I saw you, you, you6) Finest Janitor(ISRC us-hm9-05-36595)

I come down from the mountain top
I’ve got my bucket and I’ve got my mop
I’ve got my dustbroom in my hand
I’m the finest janitor in the land
I’ve cleaned up astromomers’ domes
I’ve cleaned up everybody’s homes
I’ve cleaned that house upon the hill
and I know that it’s clean still
Well, you may think I’m lowly, but you know that I don’t care
And you may think I’m dirty, but you know that I don’t care
I’m just trying to do the best I can with what I see
It means a lot to me
I’ve cleaned up restaurants and bars
I cleaned a rocket on its way to Mars
I’ve cleaned the houses of the stars
Yeah, and I’ve even cleaned their cars
Well, you may think I’m lowly, but you know that I don’t care
And you may think I’m dirty, but you know that I don’t care
I’m just trying to do the best I can with what I seeIt means a lot to me
I come down from the mountain hihgh
I’ve got my bleach and I’ve got my lye
I’ll keep on cleaning ’til the day of doom
Just don’t ask to see my own room7) Purpose of a Door(ISRC us-hm9-05-36596)

Are you preening or just cleaning?
Are you really beautiful or not?
Will you roll a tire from here to Oakland?
Some like it cold, some hot
It never mattered what you thought about me
Neither now nor before
All the rafters on the river
Know what to do with an oar
Are you lonely, are you holy?
Are you a strange new fruit?
Can you carry a tune across a desert
Playing on that horn you toot?
It never mattered if you liked me
Neither now nor before
But all the rafters in the roof
They know just what a chimney's for
Are you screaming or just keening
Every rise has its troughAre you glowing under the lights
Will people pay to see you coughAre you glistening under the spotlights?
every trough has its riseWill you even feel it when you get hit
Right between the eyes?
It never mattered what you saw in me
Neither now nor before
Every cat that’s ever been trapped in a house
Knows the purpose of a door

8) Paper Cut(ISRC us-hm9-05-36597)

Paper cut on a fifty-dollar bill, it bled all day and it's bleeding still
I don't know how much more of this I can stand, I tried to pull it out and I cut my other hand
An old flame says she knows me still
I don't really know if I would or will
I don't know how much more of this I can stand, I tried to pull it out and I cut my other hand
Don't look away and don't let go
I need someone to hold onto
Don't look away and don't let go
I need someone to hold onto
Don't look at me too hard but don't let go, I’m the kind that can't say no
But I pretend that I do
But don't believe, not even for a bit, that you're the one that's using me 'cuz that's not it
But if it's better for you
Listen honey I know what you think, but that's me talking that's not my drink
So I’ll just shut up now and tend to my wounds
Why don't you finish up and maybe we can go home soon
Don't run away and don't let go
I need someone to hold onto
Don't run away and don't let go
I need someone to hold onto
Burn both ends 'til we feel the heat, everything else can take the back seat‘til the morning
In the light of day I can see the paper cut still bleeds, maybe it'll end up killing meOh well9) Another Beer (ISRC us-hm9-05-36598)
I can still feel my hand in your hair
I can still feel the look of your eyes
This follows me everywhere
It’s the only thing that gets through my disguise
And that’s not what I need
I thought that I was doing so wellliving on popcorn and liberty ale
I think of the day that we first met
Eyes in love never forget
And that’s not what I need
I need another beer
I can still remember you
I watch the skies heavy with rain

I don’t want to think about anything
I wish I had to guts to leave the door unlatched
I’ve rubbed the only stone mistake you matched
And that’s not what I need
I need another beer
I can still remember you10) A Few Steps Ahead of Me(ISRC us-hm9-05-36599)

My first taste of you I caught your eye, I didn’t know what to doI knew I had to play the whore so I followed you straight to the bar
I saw in you what I wanted to see, tried to make you see the same in me
Never thought you could do me harm more than flash burns in a lightning storm
My second taste of you I woke up in a driveway
Somewhere south of Daly City, I never knew just how I got there
I was just trying to see the beast behind your eyes and the one in me
And once I had a glimpse I knew it was too late to head back home
You were just a few steps ahead of me
A little further on down that primrose pathI just wanted to catch up to youI never guessed I’d come this far, never guessed I’d come this far
We’d meet late at night, you never told anyone else about your second sight
Nor my second sense, we’d just keep up these great pretenses
And place bets on how long we could last, and try to drown the differences
When all the liquor and the drugs are gone we’ll say the same for the gambling
But the bet’s still on
And you’re still a few steps ahead of me
Trailblazing down that primrose pathI’m still trying to keep up with you
I never guessed I’d come this far, I never guessed I’d come this far
If we never listened to our fears we’d never worry about next year
If I didn’t think that you do it right, maybe I’d get some sleep at night11) Addict(ISRC us-hm9-05-36600)

You say whatever’s on your mind
You’ll tell you what you mean next timeYour visceral pleasures are out of timeYour visceral pleasures rub me just fineYou say whatever’s on your mind
Tell you what you mean next timeYour visceral pleasures jibe with mineYour visceral pleasures blow my mindI’d love you to be addicted to me
I’d love you to be addicted to me
Addict!
Addict, addict, addict!
