Murder You Right Back

Some bogan tried to murder me deep in the dry outback
He thought he'd get away with it
But I murdered him right back
That's right
I murdered him right back
A skiier isolated me inside his mountain shack
He thought that he could carve me up
But I murdered him right back
Oh yes I murdered him right back
A baker tried to cook me up inside his chimney stack
But I grabbed the hilt of his ol' breadknife
And murrdurred him right back
I murdered him right back
The first mate on a sailing ship
As we took another tack
He swing the boom round to knock me off but
I murdered him right back
A diver pulled me down one day into the ocean black
But I ripped his tube from out his tank
And murdered him right back
Yes murdered him right back!
Some baseball man took out his bat
He thought he'd have a whack
Well I grabbed that bat from out his hand
And murderred him right back
I murdered him right back
Some railyard bull in Tenessee
He tied me to the track
He figured he was rid of me
But I murdered him right back
And some young casanova made a comment bout my rack
He thought he'd try to murder me
Well I murderred him right back
I murdered him right back
I know there's times that I've been mean & manners that I lack
But if you go to murder me
I'll murder you right back!
I was hitchhiking, you've picked me up and you
Think you'll have a crack
Well don't you try to murder me
I'll murder you right back
I'll murder you right back

Plant A Seed

Baby you and me should plant a seed
Watch it grow on up into a great big tree
Some Springtime soon we'll see the blossoms bloom
and the branches 'll give space for a bird's nest, too
Maybe it'll grow into a lovely flower,
whose fragile blooms only last an hour
maybe it'll be a parasitic vine,
whose tendrils strangle us both in time
Maybe it'll only grow into a fern
oh well, you live you learn
maybe it'll grow into a thorny weed
you never know when you sow those wild seeds
I was walking in the garden of eden when I came upon a man like you
you said "I'm not Adam and you're not Eve, so where's the gate that YOU snuck in through?
Baby you & me should plant a seed
Maybe it'll grow into a great big tree
& soon we'll be sitting in the shade
reaping the fruits of the plans we've made
When it grows tall & it gets real fine
the neighbourhood kids'll come & have a climb
As years go on we'll hang a tire swing
from a big strong branch that was once a twig
Baby you & me should plant a seed
& maybe it'll grow into a great big tree
I hope it don't get cut down by the military
I hope it don't get cut down by Hydro-Qc
If you wanna do something for Anarchy
Go pick a fruit from that forbidden tree
& you & your snake can feed it to me
and with our newfound knowledge set the masses free
Baby you & me should plant a seed
we've still got the rest of our lives to lead
even now I can see the light green shoots
coming up & pushin down some stringy roots
The future is dull but we can make it bright
if you come with me into the woods tonight
and push back a handful of the earth
Let me show you what a moment's worth
Baby you and me should plant a seed
I believe I would consider it a noble deed
let the roots push down into the ground
making a change to this land I found
With You

Aphroyote

Well Aphrodite sat on her back porch a-waitin' for the stars to come out
And when the night fall she let out a mighty shout
she say "Hey Coyote, come down from that Mountain
"Hey Coyote, come down from them hills
"You see, I got me a Raven to sit on top of my fountain
"And when the rain come down oh my riverbed fills
"the Deer & the Skunk, the muskrat & lynx
"They all come down for a drink
"Hey Coyote, Whatddya think?"
Well Coyote said
"I got your riverbed
"Folded up in my back pocket.
"And I plan to drink it up in my sweet time.
"But I've got some demands, if you would like to unlock it
"We can make a deal, o Goddess o Woman so fine"
But Aphrodite's heard these things before
and she wouldn't let her riverbed stay captive anymore
because the animals stood thirsty upon her river's mighty shores
So she whispered into Cupid's ear and said "Let's end this war"
Well Eros sent a golden arrow flyin' at Coyote in the dark
While he was lickin' his lips at a lovely little kitten in the park
But the kitten got away oh, and on Coyote left a mark
And to this day when a dog sees a cat, well, they always bark
And while Coyote was hangin' his head
Aphrodite crept in & stole back the riverbed
So Back to the desert
back to the hills
you can feed upon little birds
and mice and roadkill
and if you come near that river
man'll have you shot
so if you wanna save your skin Coyote,
I guess you'd better not
So in Arizona, Nevada, SoCal & L.A.
Coyote hide in the hills through the hot, dry day
and if they come upon a kitten well they tend to rip it apart
because Coyote never forget a broken heart
And the rivers run dry
From Mexicali down to Ojai
And the Raven & Coyote plant the stars in the desert sky
