Lyrics
Look at me, look at me, look at the things I do
I’m not a Druid nor a Christian nor a Buddist nor a Jew.
You may think I’m a devil but you know that isn’t true
You may think that I’m evil but I’m not one of you.

I’m not one of you, I’m not one of you
Don’t try to understand me ‘cause I’m not one of you
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him

I’m not a Baptist nor a Voodoo nor a Sergeant nor a whore.
I don’t study Krishna, I’m not rich but I’m not poor
You may think I’m a devil, you may think that my skin is blue
You may think I’m a monster but I’m not one of you

I’m not one of you, I’m not one of you
Don’t try to understand me ‘cause I’m not one of you
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him

I don’t draw stars and I don’t use blood
You can think that I’m strong, you can think I’m a dud
You can think anything that you want to
But get this in your head – I’m not one of you

I’m not one of you, I’m not one of you
Don’t try to understand me ‘cause I’m not one of you
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him
‘Cause Satan is a pussy and God’s gonna kill him

Written by John Phillips & Michelle Phillips Song Length: 2:24
Listen to the Song:
[audio:Hormoans/12-CaliforniaDreamin’.mp3]		 1981
Lyrics
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I’ve been for a walk on a winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold, he knows I’m gonna stay
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I’ve been for a walk on a winter’s day
If I didn’t tell her I could leave today
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day
California dreamin’ (California dreamin’) on such a winter’s day
California dreamin’ on such a winter’s day

Blockhead

Written by Bob Mothersbaugh & Mark Mothersbaugh Song Length: 2:39
Listen to the Song:
[audio:Hormoans/09-Blockhead.mp3]		 1981
Lyrics
Never leaves a gap unfilled
Always pays on time, always fits the bill
He comes well prepared

Cube top, squared off, eight corners, 90-degree angles
Flat top, stares straight ahead, stock parts, blockhead

Never tips over, stands up on his own
He is a blockhead thinking man full grown
He comes well prepared

Cube top, squared off, eight corners, 90-degree angles
Flat top, stares straight ahead, snake eyes, blockhead

Flat top, stares straight ahead, snake eyes, blockhead

Never tips over, stands up on his own
He is a blockhead thinking man full grown
He comes well prepared

Cube top (blockhead!), squared off (blockhead!)
Eight corners (blockhead!), 90-degree angles
Flat top (blockhead!), stares straight ahead (blockhead!)
Stock parts (blockhead!), blockhead

Written by Dave Allen, Hugo Burnham, Andy Gill, & Jon King Song Length: 3:21
Listen to the Song:
[audio:Hormoans/08-DamagedGoods.mp3]		 1981
Lyrics
The change will do you good, I always knew it would
Sometimes I’m thinking that I love you but I know it’s only lust
Your kiss so sweet, your sweat so sour

Your kiss so sweet, your sweat so sour
Sometimes I’m thinking that I love you but I know it’s only lust
The sins of the flesh are simply sins of lust
The sweat is running down your back, the sweat is running down your neck
Heated couplings in the sun (or is that untrue?)
Colder couplings in the night (never saw your body)
Your kiss so sweet, your sweat so sour
Sometimes I’m thinking that I love you but I know it’s only lust
The change will do you good, I always knew it would
You know the change will do you good
You know the change will do you good

Damaged goods send them back
I can’t work, I can’t achieve send me back
Open the till give me the change
You said would do me good, refund the cost
You said you’re cheap but you’re too much

Your kiss so sweet, your sweat so sour
Sometimes I’m thinking that I love you but I know it’s only lust
The change will do you good, I always knew it would
You know the change will do you good
You know the change will do you good

I’m kissing you goodbye (goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
I’m kissing you goodbye (goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
I’m kissing you goodbye (goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
I’m kissing you goodbye (goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
