Shivers
(Howard)

I've been contemplating suicide,
but it really doesn't suit my style,
so I think I'll just act bored instead
who can take (alt: And Contain) the blood I would've shed?

She makes me feel so ugly (alt: so weary) (alt: so ill at ease)
my heart is really on it's knees
but I keep a poker face so well
that even mother couldn't tell

But my baby's so vain
she is almost a mirror
and the sound of her name
sends a permanent shiver down my
SPINE

I keep her photograph against my heart
for in my life she plays a starring part
all alcohol and cigarettes
there is no room for cheap regrets

But my baby's so vain
she is almost a mirror
and the sound of her name
sends a permanent shiver down my
SPINE

She makes me feel so ugly
my heart is really on it's knees
but I keep a poker face so well
that even mother couldn't tell

But my baby's so vain
she is almost a mirror
and the sound of her name
sends a perennial shiver down my
SPIII-YI-YIIII-YI-YIIII-YI-YIYIYI-INE

Riddle House
(Howard)

The street is very wide
and I can't see across it
my house isn't clear to me
the cars move in between

Chorus

And I say: Question
when is a door not a door???
and I say: "That's not right!
answer when it's a jar

The numbers soft as soap
and tend to bend in addition
they're much too wan for me
I'd prefer some consistancy

Chorus

The windows open wide
but I can't see out of it
the view is not very there
some-times I look for it

Chorus
