“Save our soul,” said the sermon he sold, Eight years old, enshrined. Crated scrolls, and the anger they’d scold, One unfolded find. And he said, “Oh my mother, oh my dad, Oh all the brothers I never had. Show me the wonderful, show me the sad, Show me the numbers, and I’ll check the math.” Three-year toil, and the torment he’d coil Feared and foiled, he frowned. Seeded soil, and the favors he’d spoil, No more folds unfound. And he said, “Oh my mother, oh my dad, Oh all the brothers I never had. Show me the wonderful, show me the sad, Show me the numbers, and I’ll check the math.” “Save our soul,” said the sermon he stole, Waiting cold in line. Slated shoals in that country of coals, Fate unfolds just fine And he said, “Oh my mother, oh my dad, Oh all the brothers I never had. Show me the wonderful, show me the sad, Show me the numbers, and I’ll check the math. Oh my mother, oh my dad, Oh all the brothers I never had. Show me the beautiful, show me the bad, Show me the future, and I’ll draw the map Show me the beautiful, show me the bad, Show me the future, and I, oh I’ll draw the map.”

We speak in the store, I'm a sensitive bore You seem markedly more and I'm oozing surprise But it's late in the day and you're well on your way What was golden went gray and I'm suddenly shy And the gathering floozies afford to be choosy And all sneezing darkly in the dimming divide And I have read the right book to interpret your look You were knocking me down with the palm of your eye Go na na na... This is unlike the story, it was written to be I was riding its back when it used to ride me And we were galloping manic to the mouth of the source We were swallowing panic in the face of its force And I am blue I am blue and unwell Made me bolt like a horse Go na na na... Now it's done Watch it go And you've changed some Water runs from the snow And am I so dear? Do I run rare? And you've changed some Peach, plum, pear Peach, plum

Sonnet 130 by William Shakespear My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips’ red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hair be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damask, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress when she walks treads on the ground. And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare. And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare.

My dear, what a mess you’ve made Peering through slots in that window shade Hearing the words I’ll never take back I steer away from all thoughts of you Fearful that your dreams are coming true We’re not the way that you wish we would be And no, it’s not likely I’ll change my tune So, it’s farewell to the likes of you I’ll not follow you home Years I’ve watched you wandering Tears you’ve spent on account of me Clear as the day they remain on your face Leer all you like, it won’t bother me Merely leave me out of your fantasy Near, far, I swear I couldn’t care less And no, it’s not likely I’ll change my tune So, it’s farewell to the likes of you I’ll not follow you home It’s not likely I’ll change my tune So, it’s farewell to the likes of you I’ll not follow you home My dear, what a mess you’ve made Peering through slots in that window shade Hearing the words I’ll never take back
