ALL IN THE MINUTE YOU THOUGHT OF ME
lyrics by Porter C 2018
(bring yr own bathos publ.)
Off of the meds
And all of the beds
And all in the minute you thought of me
All the remains
Of all the Cobains
And all in the minute you thought of me
I remembered right away
How to forget how to play
All of the bins
Filled with deathbed spins
And all in the minute you thought of me
The braids of the graves
And the ebbs of days
And all in the minute you thought of me
The party hats
And the panic attacks
And all in the minute you thought of me
I remembered how to know
How to forget you and go
All of the friends
But all that depends
And all in the minute you thought of me
Off of our heads
And out of our meds
And all in the minute you thought of me
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
All in the minute you thought of me
I remembered how to know
How to forget you and go
All of the friends
But all that depends
And all in the minute you thought of me

FISH HATCHERY
lyrics by Porter C.2018
bring your own bathos publishing
I walk up the street, I walk down the street
That's what I do in this town
I walk up the street, I walk down the street
That's what I do in this town
I hang a left at the Fish Hatchery
That's what I do in this town
I walk past the Fish Hatchery
That's what I do in this town
I threw a pop at an old lady and a cop
I took a desert rest; a Siesta
Standing in my yard I shouted that they both sucked cock
I'm sorry that I happened to pester
I shivered in the Hilton sheets next to Trista
She's best friends with my sister
I pissed her, then kissed her
I kissed her, then pissed her
I walk up the street, I walk down the street
That's what I do in this town
I hang a left at the Fish Hatchery
That's what I do in this town
I see a lot of Rocky Mountain Boutique
That's what I do in this town
Hold out a baggie and they'll sell you a sweet
That's what they do in this town
That's what they do in this TOWN
Drove out to Farmington, they didn't have my ink
We're on a reservation vacation
I swear to God I feel like I am going to freak
I'm just a fool in this town
I sit and drool in this town
That's what I do in this town
That's what I DO

FRUMPY
lyrics by Porter C.2018

Cocky rock gum-plop
Nose-ring cream cheese
You’re gonna be
Frumpy
Casting at flaglets
Tattooing sleeves
You’re gonna be
Frumpy
Hassle play castles
In battle fatigues
You’re gonna be
Frumpy
Sweatpants & socks
Cardboard box
Fling your birdfeed
Goldilocks
Grandmaw saw Woodstock
And gagged on her beads
And you’re gonna be
Frumpy
Now she moons up
At the tops of the weeds
And you’re gonna be
Frumpy
Wrinkled pants
No romance
Do your little
Happy dance
But you’re gonna be
Frumpy

DECISION ABOUT IT
lyrics by Porter C.2018
bring your own bathos publishing
I went to the station and voted a caseful
I voted a caseful against your intentions
Feel my derision
I made a decision about it
Lately I’m hating my neighbor he hangs around
Watching me pace to the polling places
Head on collision
I made a decision about it
It’s up there and scheduled to fall
And everybody said it’ll fall
And I just stopped around to see
The thing up there that’s scheduled to fall
OH OH
A sunken face filled with boardroom tension
I voted against it; I won the election
I bawked like a chicken
I made a decision about it
I voted against it and nobody noticed
I voted against it and nobody noticed
Now I kinda miss it
I made a decision about it
It’s up there and scheduled to fall
And everybody said it’ll fall
And I just stopped around to see
The thing up there that’s scheduled to fall
OH OH

HEB DINNER
lyrics by Porter C.2018
bring your own bathos publishing
Eating HEB for dinner
80 degrees all winter
Riverwalk toward the joggers
Join forces with the hoggers
Nothing’s that weird in Austin
Fingers in the frosting
Luxury apartment
Wonder where my shopping cart went
Lightnin’ Hopkins gravestone
Oilers implode Astrodome
Salmon HEB for dinner
Be nice to the breadwinner
Try to pet a puppy
Get frowned at by a yuppie
I can do anything I want
But I don’t want to do anything anymore
Charlie Brown took a burp
Charlie Brown took a burp
(Linus Loosey went to church)
Charlie Brown took a burp
Live-in bouncy castle
Eating HEB for dinner
Expert level beginner
Sunburst Stratocaster
Pringles can quartermaster
Stevie Ray statue Austin
The helicopter’s tossing
The maintenance men saw me naked
Is the property properly gated?
Chicken HEB for dinner
Flicking a Fidget Spinner
I can think anything I want
But I can’t think an actual thought anymore
Charlie Brown took a burp
Charlie Brown took a burp
(Linus Loosey went to church)
Charlie Brown took a burp
Small town, stupid asshole
We’re eating HEB for dinner
Eating HEB for dinner
We’re eating HEB for dinner !!!

NOTE TO SELF
lyrics by Porter C.2018
bring your own bathos publishing
Sweatbag Joe come home
Don’t drop those bloody noses
Rolos in alcoves nursing Cokes
Bottom half plastered in yellowed yolks
Lobo decomposed
It speaks for itself in droves, so
Bag the cadaver’s dirty clothes
Why stop there, who cares, who knows?
The fuckin weather’s fine
In the morning time, I
Feed and bathe this little bastard
Of my own design
Ohhh
If I could find out where it goes
A note to self
Boo Hoo Sue came home
Soaped up the hole of her old trombone
Pressed her toes on the rim of the tub
Three-man crew hired to clean up the blood
Ohhh
If I could find out where it goes
A note to self

YUMSVILLE
lyrics by Porter C.2018
bring your own bathos publishing
Well you sailed up a storm
Could you fill out a form?
That you left on the floor
To get ironed to the pile
And the facts are little known
And the facts are little known
You’ll be fine; you’ll be safe
You’ll be fine; you’ll be safe
You’ll be fine in a while
You should stir out the fire
You’re the last one around
You just rolled in a tire
And collapsed on the ground
And the facts you face alone
There are facts you face alone
In the house that was saved
(I saved it alone)
In the house that was saved
(I saved it alone)
In the house that was saved
(I saved it alone)
In the house that was mine
I saved it alone

I’m sure gonna miss you honey
I’m sure gonna miss you when you go away
I’m sure gonna miss you honey
I’m sure gonna miss you on that time and date
I’ve got to last it alone
I’ve got to last it alone (with alcohol)
If I could outlast it, honey
I sure gonna miss you every time of day
She’s a nest in bed
Joisey Marijuana
Laptop dropper
Hitler docu-drama
The Pillowman
Chop up the Harry Potter
I bared my teeth
I feel like A
I sure learned to love you honey
I sure learned to love you in our precious place
I sure learned to love you honey
I sure learned to love you in that time and space
I’ve got a megaphone
I’ve got a megaphone and a Junie goat
I sure learned to love you honey
I sure learned to love you behind our window display
Yoga poker
Bend up the alley
Bony churches
No-homes of the Milky
Eager believers
Miles on the pi
Shiver of Light
I’m sure gonna miss you honey
I’m sure gonna miss you honey
I’m sorry I called you a yuppie
I’m sorry I called you a yuppie

FIRST THINGS FIRST
lyrics by Porter C.2018
bring your own bathos publishing
Walking into the grinder, pretending to matter
I woke up in the kitchen staring at a ladder
The last’s the worst place in the first place
FIRST THINGS FIRST
FIRST THINGS FIRST
At Casino El Camino, feeling worried for ya
The last’s the worst place in the first place
FIRST THINGS FIRST
FIRST THINGS FIRST
FIRST THINGS FIRST
I know the sun is hot in Phoenix, Arizona
And you got that BF that won’t lift a boner
Just don’t forget our mom was a Marilyn Mon-moaner
It never changes color
Stomp on a crayon, it never changes color
Stomp on a crayon, it never changes color
Comedy gold just waiting to happen
Banana peels on a bad platinum album
The last’s the worst place in the first place
FIRST THINGS FIRST
FIRST THINGS FIRST
You don’t have the house to be acting like a lawyer
The last the worst place in the first place
FIRST THINGS FIRST
FIRST THINGS FIRST
FIRST THINGS FIRST
Construction continues; mo-po toll roller
Orville Redenbacher tinkling in a stroller
Tied to the pipe of a mourning snow blower
Stomp on a crayon
It never changes color!!
Stomp on a crayon it never changes color
Stomp on a crayon
LA LA LA LA LA
FIRST THINGS FIRST
WOO

TEMP SOULMATE
lyrics by Porter C.2018
bring your own bathos publishing
Temporary soulmate
Thrown on the pile
I guess it wasn’t set in stone
Temporary soulmate
Did not say goodbye
I guess I probably should have known
I guess I probably should’ve goddamn known
I guess I probably should’ve goddamn
Temporary soulmate
Thanks for the high times
Thanks for inviting me home
Temporary soulmate
Down the New Jersey turnpike
In the backseat
Crying alone
She told me to walk and she told me to stop
Eat lots of oatmeal and not to drink pop
But sometimes I wandered and sometimes I got
A LECTURE
I know it was nice to be told what to do
And made to find out what I already knew
She sold me a kosher but became a debt collector
OH OH OH
Temporary soulmate
Is back with her mom
I’d call her if I had a phone
Temporary soulmate
Permanently lost
I guess I’d always kind of known
I guess I’d always kind of goddamn known
I guess I’d always kind of goddamn
Temporary soulmate
I’m sorry you’re gone
I’m standing here with nothing to show
Temporary soulmate
I don’t even cry
I’m sleeping one bedroom below
She told me to get up and when to lie down
She always had money when we went to town
She said I was OK but she wanted me to get better
She got nonchalant when I tried to find out
If she would assuage me when I was in doubt
But she only loved me because she already knew how to let go

DESIGNATED WEDDING SONG
lyrics by Porter C.2018

Designated wedding song
Designated wedding song
I love you like the day is long
I love you like the day is cold
Wilderness of winter
Church bells suck and shiver
Jewess glassware miss your nose
Jewess glassware kiss your nose
Scorsese kitty babysitter
Designated whimper moan
Designated wedding song
I learned to leave the lights so low
I learned to let the burner glow
Snow plows step on mice
Stove’s been sick for hours
Pray for faces that you know
Designated bless your soul
All the paintings have erasers
Kiss your middle fingers

DOWN DOWN DOWN
lyrics by Porter C.2018
bring your own bathos publishing
The sun came up today
While I lived it down
I pulled a gun on everyone
On my edge of town
The school kids cuss
And punk rock around
The only place
I ever am
Is down down down
Down down down
I am ten Pepsodents
But I am a child
So feel free
To lecture me
If I run too wild
But I’ve heard your threats
And you won’t win this round
I know my place
A rental space
Down down down
Down down down
The sun came out today
And everyone tried
The mailman stopped his van
But nothing arrived
I screamed up blood
And slept in the sound
The only thing
I really love
Is down down down
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN
DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN

OLD
lyrics by Porter C.2018
bring your own bathos publishing
Swollen as a sundae sweet
It has to be a scene to believe
Sitting where I took a seat
Old
Collecting all my sweat in a bead
Reminds me of when I was naïve
There’s always something new to need
Old
I’m guessing that it all was real
I’m guessing that it all was me
I’m guessing from now on I’ll be
Old
Stranger turn the volume down
At least three shots in a round
When the lights come up they kick you out
Old
Swollen as a sundae sweet
Retreat’s a kind of feat to achieve
How long til it’s time to leave?
Old
I’m guessing that it all was real
I’m guessing that it all was me
I’m guessing from now on I’ll be
Old
