01. | Rock 'n' Roll Pest Control |
Narrator: Been thinking about a
vactaion trip to the Pacific Northwest? Well, those are just a few of the sounds of the this big country. We think sounds are about the best way of communicating there is. So, we've assemble a collection of typical sounds of the Pacific Northwest. Now sit back and listen. Creatures have taken over my house They want my food and my skin and my time Little frogs are OK but the slugs on the rug ?are trying to all? send me out of my mind There's no place else that I can go The only thing I can turn to is Rock 'n' Roll Pest Control A-wha-ho A-wha-ho Wha-HO Rock 'n' Roll Pest Control Little kids bring zucchinis and stay all day and then truck drivers follow me home I'm expecting a guy from the PG&E While a friend, of a friend, of a friend's on the phone These last few weeks have taken their toll I'm convinced that I have to resort to Rock 'n' Roll Pest Control A-wha-ho A-wha-ho Wha-HO Rock 'n' Roll Pest Control A-wha-ho A-wha-ho Wha-HO Rock 'n' Roll Pest Control Now the sun's so hot it never rains And there's Mormons knocking at the door My mellons are gray in the refrigarator And something's gone through the kitchen floor I wanna create my only little black hole And I know how to do it, I'm gonna use Rock 'n' Roll Pest Control A-wha-ho A-wha-ho Wha-HO Rock 'n' Roll Pest Control Rock 'n' Roll Pest Control A-wha-ho A-wha-ho Wha-HO Rock 'n' Roll Pest Control Yeah, Rock 'n' Roll Pest Control Wha-ho, Rock 'n' Roll Pest Control |

02. | All Messed Up |
It's not very plesant to see And it's not always quite the firm reality Someone's got the thought control to leave us ?all repent? I guess that one's just a little bit scared No one's in control and I'm buried in so in this hole He couldn't move me long ago but now I just don't know It's not very permanent inside But while I wait for change I'm ?missing Lelvin Trives? Someone told me yesterday to kick it into gear Why after all this kicking am I still right here? I'm not in control and I'm buried so in this hole I was all shook up so long ago but now I just don't know It's not very promising indeed But it's not always quite the firm reality Someone's on the spot tonight with a fire and a hose And the story ends just the way the story always goes No one's in control and I'm buried so in this hole All messed up with no place to go but now I just don't know All messed up with no place to go but now I just don't know |

03. | Gus Theme |
Narrator: Here, in a setting as
green as England's turf, thousands of visitors come to listen to words that will never die. Gus! (x13 or so) |

04. | Think Better of Me |
I'm gonna stop this stuff in the end Because I really don't think it's fair If you'll just stop feeling stupid You'd think alot better of me Better of me Better of me I'm gonna eat Peach Pie with my hands And I'll still be the same kind of man If I don't get my attorney then you'd think better of me Better of me Better of me In the future you'll realize that I'm something special A special kind of guy And I've got something you need I've got something that you need Now there's nothing left for me to say Beacause you already love me today If you knew that was enough You'd think alot better of me Better of me Better of me In the future you'll realize that I'm something special A special kind of guy And i've got something you need I've got something that you need Now there's nothing left for me to say Beacause you already love me today If you knew that was enough You'd think alot better of me Better of me Better of me |

05. | Power Mowers Theme |
Narrator: And when the last
bronc is busted by those good guys of the west, you can drive from cattle-country to the big mountain slopes where timber communities hold their own competitions in the Logger's Carnival. ?Bite into a ten gallon ham? Buy it in two or ten gallon Food and banners were everywhere It was the celebration of Ricky's mouth disease Down at Russell's Square If it's a wedding or a high-school dance Or the invasion of the army ants The Power Mowers can cut it! Now I was looking at six drunk sailors They were carrying a loaf of bread Ricky was swinging with a majorette Underneath the King's bed And if it's a formal or casual affair Or just some guy going to the electric chair The Power Mowers can cut it! The gathering ????? it's an arsenal We're warming up with kicks In a caved in bar The ushers covered Ricky with yellow ?flyers? And propped him up in the car Now don't you worry about negotiations You need to welcome them at the station The Power Mower's can cut it! The Power Mower's can cut it! The Power Mower's can cut it baby! |

06. | Empty Set Takes a Vacation |
Playing down the road there's a rock
sensation Empty Set decided to take a vacation Last night he said that numerous tours Had just taken their toll of the band So they hopped in the Sander's van And picked up all the lads and lasses Who were friends of the band And they headed for Disneyland ?Well the luggage it was missing at the One Note City? But they didn't pick him up because he'd been there already Smacked out we're coming on acoustic guitar But Captain Sanders wouldn't approve So they told him to stand in the line Then they made so many stand in at another time But it got him nowhere...fast! In L.A. they attended an Air Dog session He had a ???? in his possesion Juanita took a picture by a hydrant outside And sent it to one of his fans It was so great Then they hopped right back in the van Threw three more tracks in the can And though it really wasn't part of the plan Seemed like the thing to do at the time |

07. | View From Above |
Narrator:
Yes Patriece, Washington is a good sound stage for whistling. In fact, from Bellingham to Vancouver, you can stroll along busy water-fronts and let the whistles transform you into Captain Walter Mitty. Pacing the bridge of a big freighter bound for Hong Kong, Stockholm or Calcutta. ?Though the whistle blew? her fingers like a blow-dryer I roll up the windows climbing up a little higher They say so high ???? Oh baby it's not something I'm saying just for fun But I'm getting tired and the mattress is done You're so sophisticated with your cathedral moves I can smell from here the rows of old pews And the altar adorned with the robes of the Lord Oh baby it's not just something I'm saying to be mean But I'm getting bored and the dashboard is clean Now my armpit stings from a bout with the cross In the rearview mirror you ?look right across? The broken antenna's bent between your knees Oh baby it's not something I'm saying just for laughs You can bring back the breeze if I give you the shaft Now that ?blue dress bothers the? auto workshop men It's much better from here, up on the top If I ?write on this? stomach you got to read it out loud Oh baby it's not something I'm just saying for kicks You're just part of the crowd with a nickname that sticks The greatest sights of all time Freaks of nature ???? The long necked women of Burma The leopard man The elephant ???? The alligator-skin man And Barnum's famous ?zip? The ???? who had a head that came to a point like an ice cream cone He had no more brains than a monkey The strangest sights of all times Come in now and see Reproductions of the famous freaks of all times Freaks of nature |

08. | Big House |
That was a fake name Now we got him One, two, three, four Well the man upstairs is breaking tables and chairs He's got his sledgehammer flying all night And the woman in the den just rapped a child with a tin She knows that I won't set a foot outside 'Cause it's a big house Yes, it's a big house Yes, it's a biiiiiig, big house BIG HOUSE Now the priestess of the moon occupies the next room And she's sacraficing lambs all night In the room next to hers we find the Pschadelic Furs They're trying to get this brand-new song just right But it's a big house Yes, it's a big house Yes, it's a biiiiig, big house BIG HOUSE You know it seems like I'm miles away but me, i can sleep at night They can make all the noise they want But i'll sleep just fine 'Cause it's a big house Yes, it's a big house Yes, it'a a biiiiiig, big house BIG HOUSE As I ?queue? myself in Some guy called Billy the Kid Is in the ?brew? room shooting out the lights And the hunch back in the attic Rings the bells and gets estatic While I always get to sleep at night 'Cause it's a big house Yes, it's a big house Yes, it's a biiiiiig, big house BIG HOUSE Sometimes I feel like I'm miles away This band is just the right size They make all the noise they want when I close my eyes 'Cause it's a big house Yes, it's a big house Yes, it's a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig, big house BIG HOUSE BIIIG HOUSE BIIIIIIIG HOUSE |

09. | This Little Mystery |
I saw her walking across a crowded
street I started watching to see whoever she'd come to meet Nobody will ever know ?Assuming I'm dumb? but she said hello She came up to me and held out her hand and said I was the one who might understand This little mystery We started walking past all the guys I knew We started talking to all the guys I knew My friends all acted so amazed Remember at home I said yesterday she stood next to me and held my hand and said I was the one who could understand This little mystery Now she won't leave me cause it was meant to be You can believe me, it's ancient history In a castle tower In a five room cave On a sailing ship Or in an island maze She stands next to me and holds my hand Because I am the one who will understand This little mystery |

10. | A Humble Guy |
Narrator: There's a drum
full of other colorful sounds too. Well he was so ashamed about the clothes that he wore that night But I don't know why He stood in the corner for hours adjusting his tie But I don't know why His intial cufflinks were shiny and his dress was the best suit lining What a humble guy Well she was part of the crowd but some how she caught his eye But I don't know why He took a little false courage and staggered over to give her a try Still adjusting his tie Well he held himself pretty steady she said, "I gave at the office all ready, but you're very polite" He took it like a champ He got himself very damp Went back to the corner with a broken lamp and passed out in front of an amp When he woke up his tie was loose and his mouth was dry Gee I don't know why She was saying that she'd help him "You're in no condition to drive" She was feeling real bad Well she took him back to her place and he threw up all over her face What a humble guy |

11. | Down by the Pharmacy |
Open the icebox baby And take out the cheese Cut off the moldy parts And tape them to your knees Do you want to know the answers baby? Do you want to get inside of me? My reason for living Is written all over your face Warm up the car now honey And step on the gas You don't know where we're going yet But you know it's not too fast But do you want to know the answers baby? Do you want to go deep inside of me? My reason for living Is watching Lost in Space Take out the magazine love And spread them on the floor Call up the nurse with the scrabble set Just in case we get very bored You don't want to know the answers baby You don't want to get inside of me My reason for living Is written down some place *scream* |

12. | Teenage Dogs in Trouble |
Narrator: What's that? Not
enough action you say? Listen. They're getting bolder every day They got numbers on their side They don't need a society They never even tried Have no fear is the fear that's best One gets kicked and so do the rest Sharp enough to burst any bubble They don't care they're just Teenage Dogs in Trouble Some of them came up from the pound Saved only by the will to survive Most of them sit on the street Sometimes more dead than alive Have no fear is the fear that's best One mutt strikes and so do the rest Victim found face down in a puddle Signed sincerely Teenage Dogs in Trouble *scream* In the shadowed caves of the metropolis where only fools go There's a rabid rainy apocalypse beneath the fractured lunar glow Scared and lonely but not alone Can barely remember where once was a home Used and confused drawn trough the dragnet Trapped in an alley hair like a magnet Gleaming eyes and a snarl from the rebel You're face to face with Teenage Dogs in Trouble |

13. | You Call That Lonely? |
You're not as hansome as you
used to be But you're the only one who notices anyway You learned those antics from your older brother The one who everybody calls Mr. Tapeworm today You gotta be kidding What's the sudden hurry? Yeah! You think that a fix like this could happen to you and you only You call that lonely? You call that lonely? I've heard those stories about your special friend Who likes the great distinguished smoking jacket look But all that takes place in another world And now you're desperate for a sillier comic book You gotta be kidding Why the sudden worry? Yeah! You think that a fix like this could happen to you and you only You call that lonely? (x4) And now the only good advice isn't very nice You see you gotta check out and trick the mirror once or twice You'll see your eyelids turn blue and your hairy chest too And then you'll never know what I tried to tell you what to do That's not lonely Well that's not lonely Well that's not lonely You can't call that lonely |

14. | That Letter |
Narrator: Well now you know the
score here in the Pacific Northwest. Uh-oh. Here's one we missed. We haven't been friends for a long time but you understand why I do what I do It's threatening to end in the meantime but you understand what I'm going through I'm not the same as before and I don't know if I like it But listen to me Don't make me wear that letter Don't tear up this happy home It wouldn't be that much better to do it all alone One day when we're far along we'll look back on this heart break and it will seem quaint But right now what wrong feels wrong Don't think I'm evil but I don't want to be a saint Sure I'm not the same as before and I don't know if I like it But listen to me now Don't make me wear that letter Don't tear up this happy home It wouldn't be that much better to do it all alone No I'm not the same as before and I don't know if I like it But listen to me now Don't make me wear that letter Don't tear up this happy home It wouldn't be that much better No it wouldn't be that much better It wouldn't be that much better to do it all alone |

15. | Young Fresh Fellows Theme |
Narrator: Hey what's your
hurry? I see. You've listened to the sounds of the Pacific Northwest and now you just can't wait to go look. Fine. But we had one more important sound we wanted you to hear. Well they were walking down the street I never seen a couple Young Fresh Fellows before Well there was something about the way they combed their hair and something about the clothes that they wore Well they don't act so cool, they're just regular Joes Well they're the Young Fresh Fellows now nobody knows them I've never seen a couple Young Fresh Fellows before Ahhh-hhhh Young Fresh Fellows! I went and told them I was new down town and did not know the proper spots to hang around Well they were awfully cool those guys answered me true They said, "Just stick with us man, we'll show you what to do" They took me to a rock club where the girls were the most We imported all our brews in our deep sports coats now I never knew I was a Young Fresh Fellow before Ahhh-hhhh Young Fresh Fellow! Now we're together all the time We're just a couple of the Young Fresh Fellows you see Heating up some chili for our evening meal and catching the Beave everyday on TV Well we're not out to make a real big splash But we wouldn't mind a record and a little hard cash now I never knew I was a Young Fresh Fellow before Ahhh-hhhh Young Fresh Fellow! I never knew Ahhh-hhhh Young Fresh Fellow! I never knew I was a Young Fresh Fellow before Ahhh-hhhh Young Fresh Fellow! I never knew Ahhh-hhhh Young Fresh Fellow! I never knew I was a Young Fresh Fellow before Ahhh-hhhh Young Fresh Fellow! I never knew! (x11) Oh yeah, yeah! I never knew! |
