TOY DOG Lyrics by Patrick Porter, C. 2011 Welcomed in and locked out The hopes are high and the aisle is wide But don't try to make me laugh right now Cuz I'll just cry I know it isn't sensible To drill a hole into a windfall But I can't help but worrywort I ain't some tough guy I'm a toy dog I blink a planet in my eye It's made out of lines and it's off to the right I don't leave home without a payphone dime Cuz I might go blind I like to pull a false alarm I'll draw a knife on a Christmas card Cuz anything could do me harm And it just might I'm a toy dog

FAR FIREWORK SONG Lyrics By Patrick Porter C. 2011 So what will you do now that I'm gone? Will you be sad and all alone? Will you be dull and out of tune? Will you be scared to leave the room? Or will you go out and will you thrive? Will you be happier to be alive? Will you start up a new affair? Will you forget I was ever there? I wish you well But I don't, don't, don't, don't I'll take care But I won't, won't, won't, won't I'll go along But I'd rather not do I'll give you up But I don't really want to So what will you do now that I'm gone? Will you throw my things out on the lawn? Will you forgive, will you forget? Will you wish that we never met? Or will you meet another man? Who is much better than I am? Will you think of me and gloat? Imagine me in a sinking boat? I wish you well But I don't, don't, don't, don't I'll take care But I won't, won't, won't, won't I'll go along But i'd rather not do I'll give you up But I don't really want to

WORKIN' STIFF Lyrics by Patrick Porter, C. 2011 Maybe you'd love me If I was a workin' stiff If I gave you my money And bought you comforting shit But I'm just a dog With a leash oh so long Maybe you'd love me If I was a workin' man If I brought home the bacon And put it in a pan But I'm just a nut Who don't know what's what Maybe you'd love me If I was a workin' stiff If I sat in a cubicle And typed on computers and shit But I'm just a man Doing what he can I ain't got no plan Baby, baby, baby Fuck you

3RD WORLD COUNTRY BLUES Lyrics by Patrick Porter C. 2011 Sometimes I feel like a 3rd world country Dirty, confused, broke, and hungry The roads are worn down and the natives are ugly Sometimes I feel like a 3rd world country Oh lord, what have I done? We've fallen so out of love (Patrick Porter is a synthesizer) Sometimes I feel like a 3rd world country Trying to keep up with the empires of effrontery But I'm so far behind that it ain't even funny Sometimes I feel like a 3rd world country Oh lord What have I done? We've fallen so out of love Oh lord What can I do? Waiting around To be with you?

HEARTLESS PLACE CALLED U Lyrics by Patrick Porter C. 2011 I fell into That heartless place called you I stayed in there, too That heartless place called you I couldn't move From that heartless place called you But now I'm through With that heartless place called you I don't love anyone I'm glad that I'm alone I don't want anyone I'm glad that you're gone I'm filled with booze And memories that I can't use I made them with you But now they're just obtuse I guess that it's true That we were always meant to lose I'm living proof Of that heartless place called you I don't love anyone I'm glad that I'm alone I don't want anyone I'm glad that you're gone

COLD RED LITE Lyrics By Patrick Porter C. 2011 There's a cold red lite In a hollow And it's such a fine, unholy signal Man was made to go wrong And the odds are long You might have heard of that Cold red Cold red lite There's a bucket of flies On a battleground Where everyone died And the crowd reacted by cheering it on They were angry gnats Cold red Cold red lite

LOVE LIFE Lyrics by Patrick Porter, C. 2011 Look into the mirror Look into my eyes I'm looking like the bearer Of a great surprise There are lots of things that I love And things that I don't like And I'm falling out of love With life Look into a cesspool Look into the sky The sun is there in the daytime And the stars are out at night I'm forgetting what I used to do When I used to try And I'm falling out of love with life Remember our love? Remember us? Remember how we used to love each other so much? Look into the mirror Look into my eyes I'm looking like the kind of man Who's beyond all advice And if it's time for me to die Then I guess that that's alright Cuz I've fallen out of love With life

NOT KNOW ALONE Lyrics by Patrick Porter C. 2011 Nothing to do for a homesick soul Except to sit and write a homesick song Throw my clocks into a waiting car And use the moon for a telephone Love makes plans and love makes good Love it puts you in a better mood But love ain't nothin' much to do When it isn't nice and it isn't new And it's in the past and in the present, too You got plans you've been waiting on And I got plans I've been waiting on Even if I don't know what they are I'd rather just go and not know alone

LITE TURNING OFF (Lyrics By Patrick Porter C. 2011) True loves come And true loves go And if they were truest Then they lied, you know There ain't no reason to break down and bawl It's just a lite turning off On a front porch Girls are girls And boys are boys They make demands and they assign chores They make lots of love and they make lots of noise It's a bore, bore, bore It's nothing much at all So don't be sad if your love went bad It's just a lite turning off On a front porch When a lover leaves it makes you die You wring your hands and you wonder why But if they came right back to your side You'd be bored, bored, bored In no time at all So, true loves come and true loves go And the highs were high and the lows were low And sometimes it matters and sometimes it don't It's just a lite turning off On a front porch So don't be sad if your love went bad It's just a lite turning off On a front porch
