Goggins Lyrics!


1. Idle Hands

Idle hands and bridled passions, muddied thoughts with good intentions, and don't you know that there are things more worse that that? I used to spell out all my problems in simple one-line declarations and analyze my feelings for things in similar ways. This may be the finest thing, the finest thing I've found to date, but the bed is where I'd be all day if given half a chance. I used to spell out all my problems, but kept them hidden in a bottle and sealed the cork and sent it off and waited for a good reply one day and still maintain this grudge for people cuz' they're not like me and there are several things that I think rank far worse than that. I used to envy all the people who cursed at things for useless reasons and kept my dark side hidden in my pocket and I thought I had it made.

2. Milk

Hey Kid! Yeah you! You see I dropped my pencil. Pick It up! Hurry up! Watcha waitin' for? Don't be so
slow! We got our eyes, got our eyes on you. We got our eyes, got our eyes on you boy. We got our eyes,
got our eyes on you. We got our eyes, gotterdammerung Deutschland. Fatheads hold on me down and
say, "You've got a lot to learn!" I get beat up everyday, I've got a lot to learn!" Milk will make me strong, you say, drink it and you will see but it seems that cows have better sense than me, yeah. Hey kid! Yeah you! Gonna hit you with a ball in gym class. Gonna dress you up in girl's clothes. Gonna throw my fist at your nose and if you try to escape us gonna get you when we're on the school bus. Carpet fibers in my teeth, I've got a lot to learn. What about my self-esteem? I've got a lot to learn. Milk will make me strong, you say, drink it and you will see but it seems that cows have better sense then me, yeah. Getting strong, it takes too long to become like Henry Rollins Every dog has his day one day you'll see me. I know things that you don't know, you've got a lot to learn. My bones will break before they grow, I've got a lot to learn. Milk will make me strong, you say, drink it and you will see but on the side of a milk carton is where I'll be, yeah.

3. Gavin

It's not the number of times he tried to, but the one time that he did. I once told him to beware of things to come, but I was the one who should be scared. All the police and handcuffs didn't bother him. He's sure that God would understand. Oh, the killings in the convent hall. The cleaning bill was outrageous. Gavin killed a nun: "She had it coming and she got what she deserved." God helps those who help themselves. All the kids at recess rallied for his cause. The paid their lunch money for his bail. For all the times he tried to do it, he finally got it right. All the kids in school just think of Gavin as a folk hero because school's let out all day. Sister Mary's yardstick once broke Gavin's hand, but now Gavin's set things right. Sister Mary's yardstick once broke Gavin's hand, but now Gavin's sent Sister Mary to the promised land.

4. The Man Upstairs

On the wedding anniversary of the Johnson's they went out on a date. Lil' Jimmy had strict orders to be in bed, to be in bed by eight. But Lil' Jimmy knew they'd be late and he liked TV, he thought it was great. He's not alone. Turning channels, Jimmy faltered after hearing what he thought might have been creepy chuckles, scary breathing and sounds of metal scraping on wood. Hired by the Johnson's that day, he's a professional & likes things his way... or not at all. He's for hire, the man upstairs, he'll take care of you. Jimmy grabbed the phone receiver, called the fuzz up while he peed in his pants. Down the staircase in the next room. Here he come kid, hatchet clutched in his hands. Jimmy trembled and crept through the dark in the kitchen where all the knives are...he's not alone..here come the man. He's for hire, the man upstairs, he'll take care of you. Can't trust Mom, you can't trust Dad. What do you do when your folks go bad? The man upstairs watched in terror as Jimmy with a knife came flyin' through the air. Red light blue light cops burst in. They put a bunch of guns into their hands and then the cops said "Freeze! You better stop now! You better stop now or you're gonna be dead!" And they pumped lil' Jimmy full of lead cuz they thought he was crazy in the head. And after that they heard a voice that said: I'm the man upstairs, I'm the man, I'm the man upstairs. He's the man upstairs, he's the man , he's the man upstairs.

5. Excalibur

You drew me from this stone, you pulled me up and out, and now I'm yours to wield but please don't use me for your hate, or you'll cause me to break. See a lake-lady take me away, don't fear the hands of men, I'll swing and steal their skin and their blood. Just keep your hand on the hilt when you are cold let my gleam keep you warm. It's a gleam that's reflected from strength inside you round table time again confer with your secret selves, your heart is in search of grails, grails I can't give to you, no sword can help you to. Cut Guinevere-like desires away, when you want more than a crown, when you want a sword that sings. I'm wrapped up in a shroud and tucked into a box, but my edge is getting dull and my polish growing thin for me there is no war to win and though I felt good in your hands and though I understand see a lake-lady take me away.

6. Nitro

I wake up with a cough, a germ had gotten on me, and I couldn't get of off me. my mom would say to
take some medicine right away so I did, real bad cough real bad cough I found a bottle in a drawer, I
thought it was cough syrup but I couldn't have been more wrong, I drank it down and then I found, to my complete amazement, I swallowed some nitro, I swallowed some nitro; I swallowed some nitro, am I
gonna die? I swallowed some nitro,I swallowed some nitro, where does a guy go when he swallows some
nitro? How will I explain this to my mom? I'll have to call her and tell her I'm a human bomb and she will feed me baby food just like they did to Grampaw, just like Grampaw, just like Gramps. Oh well no more Taco Bell and smokin' cigarettes will probably get me blown to hell and if I go, I guarantee, my pop is goin' with me. I swallowed some nitro, I swallowed some nitro;I swallowed some nitro, am I gonna die? I swallowed some nitro,I swallowed some nitro, where does a guy go when he swallows some nitro?am I gonna explode?!

7. Put Together

I never thought I'd be put together so easily, but you knew I always had it coming and you knew I took a hit, I made a bad decision felt myself explode to bits and bits, you had an eye for damaged goods and sought out ways to make them fit. I gave you no direction but you still could find enough to put together, mends unraveled, nothing mattered, from something shattered, came some new form, made with substance, embracing nonsense, a bum or a prince, a character foil, you should never be more careful than when opposites meet. But you knew I always had it coming and you knew I took a hit, I made a bad decision felt myself explode to bits and bits, you had an eye for damaged goods and sought out ways to make them fit, I gave you no direction but you still could find enough to put together.

8. Enough

Love had nothing to do with us, you had nothing better to do nothing better to do, you say that you want
to be free well, baby, don't look at me, I think I've had enough of super Mario 3 and I do believe I've
poured enough beer into me to strip away the beauty of the curve of your hips and to nullify the power of your moist lil' lips. I feel my brain reactivate and tell me that enough is enough is enough; work....you look at teeth all day, analyzing dental files then you come home and analyze us, us..I'm sick of reevaluating us, you bore me into the ground, our sex occurs without sound what was verb is now noun, now don't you think enough's enough and we should be through you lie there with a wounded face as if this is new, we never got to movies and we never do shit, our world is your apartment and I'm tired of it; I feel my brain reactivate and tell me that enough is enough is enough.

9. Army of The Bored

In the campaign of lonely, lonely hungry boys; few make plans and see them though; there is strength in
numbers, strength encumbers all of those who try to see them through, coping with things beyond their
control, with lights and fights and cigarette smoke, they hope to command an impressive show, if only for their own piece of mind, they hope to command an impressive show, if only for their own piece of mind, the likes of these cannot be contained, by promises, laughter or time, passionate are their intentions, coveted now is their membership, to the army of the lonely, hungry boys who follow outdated principles and whose dreams spur them on still; at least they didn't sleep the day away, and whose dreams spur them on still; at least they didn't sleep the day away, the likes of these cannot be contained, by promises, laughter or time, passionate are their intention, coveted now is their membership, to the army of the lonely, hungry boys who follow outdated principles, without which they couldn't even bare,without which they couldn't bare to dare.
