Still Know Your Number By Heart
By Chagall Guevara
NOTE: This track appears on the 1990 Soundtrack to the movie, "Pump Up the
Volume"
She was a cool blue red head
She was a virgin vixen
She had the eyes of Lassie
She had the lips of Nixon
Lips like Tricia Nixon
I stole a sideway glance
At her continental shelf
And I knew she was the Devil himself
It’s a barstool yawn
To a sturdy come on
It's a third row rush
She sat back and I missed her
I shook as she took another look
Have you ever been hooked, she said
By the Tale O’ the Twister
And with a brain like Einstein
And a form like Sin
Up on the roof of Trump Towers
She said, "It’s yours on a tray"
Think about it
She was drawn to blood like a lean load shark
A tornado to a trailer park
It’s a long black car
It’s power like a Czar
It’s temporary Bliss
It’s like Kissing your sister
Big Wheels and you’re feeling real fine
It’s a temporary ride
On the Tale O’ the Twister
Big Big Wheels and You’re sitting real
high
It’s a temporary ride
On the Tale O’ the Twister
Cars and Girls
It’s the details of desire
Another Bait and Switch game
That hooks me every time
And it’s payday
After sleeping with the Devil
You’d love to close the Book
But you’ve got to wonder
How the Baby’s gonna to look
It’s a wide eyed steal
It’s another good deal
It’s the horse before the cart
My head’s starting to blister
She said you could be the ending
Of every one new ending
It’s the tale
It’s a long black car
It’s the power like a Czar
It’s a temporary kiss
My head’s starting to blister
I got took and she took another look
Have you ever been hooked, she said
By the Tale O’ The Twister

Still Know Your Number By Heart
By: Chagall Guevara
NOTE: This is an EXTREMELY rare song, found only on the UK Violent Blue single. The MP3 can be found here. Lyrics thanks to David at On the Fritz
Emptying out my pocket things
Wonderin' why the caged bird sings
Charged with the same dang crime
Sentenced for the third dang time
I'm not innocent
I never said I was
But my lawyer doesn't have a tongue
Like Jesse Jackson does
Well, here inside this prison cell
I keep remembering
My parole officer was the purtyist thing
CHORUS:
And I still know your number by heart
Even though you no longer play a part
Well, I don't know if it's love or if I smart
But I still know your number by heart
Dreaming of the hours we spent
Sure beats breaking up cement
We were introduced by fate
Sort of like a first blind date
Our secret rondezvous
Set free this heart of mine
I let no affection follow me
Across the county line
And I've seen how drugs and alcohol
Can get your dander up
But for your assurance, I'd pee in any cup
And I still know your number by heart…
I saw a statue of a lady
Justice was her name
And I knew the balance that she held
Would some day shift my way
Some poet said that love's blind, too
But I could see its plan
As that little job I pulled last year
Some day made me your man
I dream of breaking out
Your pull is so intense
The hounds of love
Keep barking through that fence
But I know in three to five
I'll miss you even more
I pray my file
Comes knocking at your door
And I still know your number by heart…

Kick it In
By: Steve Taylor
NOTE: I know NOTHING about this song. I was told it was stolen from Steve's Soylent Tunes office in Nashville with the other song Falling Rain. The guy created an MP3 w/ these songs on it and I have tried my best to transcribe the lyrics. I'm not 100% sure this is even a Steve Taylor song...so beware.
This song has a very 80's arena rock sound to it, so it may have been something
recorded, but never released for I Predict 1990
(Remember, I did my best at transcribing these, but they still may not be 100% right)
There's voices in the wind,
I hear them wispering.
Sometimes I seek? it there
Sometimes I have to swear.
I hear the Demons call,
I've seen the angels bawl??
No need to wonder why,
The answer's in the sky.
CHORUS:
Time to kick it in,
Time to kick it in,
Time to kick it in
Turn around and start again.
You say you know me well,
I say you just can't tell
What's going on inside
With all the pain I hide.
REPEAT CHORUS

Falling Rain
By: Steve Taylor
NOTE: See NOTE on other song. This song sounds like it may have come off something even pre I Want to be a Clone. It may even be him covering another song that I'm not aware of...it doesn't sound like anything Steve's normal stuff....As before..I'm not even sure this IS Steve Taylor.
(Remember, I did my best at transcribing these, but they still may not be 100% right)
I've lived for heaven,
I've spent some time in hell.
But nothing I could feel,
Nothing for real.
Seen the devil,
I've heard the angels cry,
Watched the hand of God,
Go across the sky.
CHORUS:
I hear the words again,
Looking for a friend,
I lost so long ago.
Pain, Behind these four walls,
Lonlieness calls,
When flowers on it grows,
The falling of the rain.
My heart's frozen,
My heart won't crack in two.
When once I was a child,
I felt love for a while.
Now that I('m) inaudible word,
I'm too young to die.
I'm too old to cry
Well you the answers lie (???????)
REPEAT CHORUS
I'm too young to die (Repeated several times)
This is a pretty cool song...it's nothing like any Steve Taylor that I know of though.
It is his voice though. It almost sounds like a song he may have sung in
church sometime.
