They ooh and aah with such enthusiasm that I'm sure that they must be faking Last night I had to go outside to take a call Because of all the noise they were making I always thought I'd be more openminded But I have decided that sometimes enough is far too much That's the neighbors having sex again And I won't even sing this song Because they'll hear it And they'll know it's about them You turn up the tv when the neighbors are having sex again I wouldn't recognize you if I saw you on the street But I would know you anywhere If you were yelling Oh My God And I agree that our entryway is functional But I'm begging you please find some other place to get it on Cause I always thought I'd be more openminded but I have decided that sometimes enough is far too much That's the neighbors having sex again And I won't even sing this song Because they'll hear it And they'll know it's about them You turn up the tv when the neighbors are having sex again And when we finally meet you say hello, stick out your hand I don't want to touch it Cause I know exactly where it's been That's the neighbors having sex again And I won't even sing this song Because they'll hear it And they'll know it's about them You turn up the tv when the neighbors are having sex again Turn up the tv when the neighbors are having sex again and again and again Oh my God My neighbors are having sex again

Little Dogs 03:07
Friday night And I'm out for a walk So are all of them They're under my feet Try to give them more space But they're criss-crossing me Entangled in leash I want to kick them I want to kick them Little dogs Overtaking the city They're necessities They're accessories Little dogs How your owners defend that you're their best friend And not a little lesser than Still I want to kick you I want to kick you And I want to kick you Cause I know you could fly Up above all the nonsense to which you stay tied So I won't stand close this time Little dogs I don't mind when you run through the park on a sunny day I don't mind when you're chasing a stick out among the waves But you walk by in pocketbooks You ride by in baskets You roll by in strollers designed for an infant And you're wearing your sweaters In case you get cold And your hair and your nails are more groomed than my own And I want to kick you Cause I know you could fly Up above all the nonsense to which you stay tied So I won't stand close this time Little dogs And I want to kick you Cause I know you'd fly Above all the nonsense to which you stay tied So I won't stand close this time Little dogs

Benzodiazepine I notice your effect on me Everything's still happening It doesn't matter in the best sense of that word Benzodiazepine I notice your effect on me Everything's still happening It doesn't matter in the best sense of that word Everyone's a little brighter a little bit blurred And everything's is so much clearer a little obscured This has never been so easy So easy Benzodiazepine I see you've got control of things I'll just sit back and let this be It doesn't matter in the best sense of that word Benzodiazepine I once was blind but now I see I don't think that I brushed my teeth It doesn't matter in the best sense of that word Everyone is a little brighter a little bit blurred And everything is so much clearer a little obscured This has never been so easy So easy Benzodiazepine illusion of inspiring When all my thoughts stay incomplete It doesn't matter in the best sense of that word Benzodiazepine I fear you'll make a wreck of me I don't remember anything It doesn't matter in the best sense of that word Everyone is so much braver a little bit blurred And everything is so much clearer a little obscured But I don't think it should be so easy So easy Benzodiazepine I won't pretend this is not real You'll paper over how I feel It doesn't matter in the best sense of that word Benzodiazepine I won't pretend This is not real You'll paper over how I feel I won't matter

Mr. Comstock 02:08
Mr Comstock says I got offended again today Have you seen what they sell on the streets of this city Why is there a law If they don't really mean it Mr Comstock says Just give me a job and a gun and your mail And I'll wipe out all obscenity Twelve tons burned I know you'll thank me for it later Cause I'm stopping porn For the good of the nation I'm stopping porn For moral edification I'm stopping porn I'm stopping porn Mr Comstock says I got offended again today But no one sides with smut dealers But infidels The liberals free lovers The long haired men The short haired women accompany them Their lives are hollow and rotten to the core I know you won't want this For any son or daughter of yours So I'm stopping porn For the good of the nation I'm stopping porn For moral edification I'm stopping porn I'm stopping porn

about

Everything in Pen San Francisco

Combining the pop sensibility of Big Star and narrative observations of Jonathan Richman and Aimee Mann, Everything in Pen’s songs cover many topics---war criminals, sexism, and Dave Eggers--through her unique lens as an obsessive reader. She sings the things you won’t say aloud, of the foolishness, the hopefulness and the almost unbearable humanness of us all. ... more
