Lyrics
I should have known that you’d bid me farewell
And there’s a lesson to be learned from this and I’ve learned it very well.
Now I know you’re not the only starfish in the sea.
If I never hear your name again it’s all the same to me.

And I think it’s gonna be all right, yes the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball

You never cared for secrets I’d confide
For you I’m just an ornament, something for your pride.
Always running, never caring, that’s the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all you had to give

And I think it’s gonna be all right, yes the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball

The story’s in the past with nothing to recall
I’ve got my life to live and I don’t need you at all
The roller coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, that’s all I’m goning spend.

And I think it’s gonna be all right, yes the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball
And I think it’s gonna be all right, yes the worst is over now,
The morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball

Written by Mark McCormick

Listen to the Song:
[audio:Hormoans/06-LonelyDialer.mp3]

Lyrics
Sally picks up the phone, Sally picks up the phone
Sally picks up the phone, Sally picks up the phone

Oh, he walks and he talks with a strange in his heart
He’s the plague of Minneapolis, the boo of New York
He’s a strange dialer, he’s a lonely dialer
And he dials his wiles away

Silly Sally sings a song the dialer hypnotize
Sally listens to him as he tells her of his size

A pocket full of dimes and he’s busy makin’ rhymes
He’s long fingers and he waits ‘til late
He’s a strange dialer, he’s a lonely dialer
And he dials his wiles away

Silly Sally sings a song the dialer hypnotize
Sally listens to him as he tells her of his size

Four in the morning and he calls her up at home
Hey lady, would you like a thrill
Hey Baby, I don’t want to kill
Hey Honey, can you fill the bill
Strange dialer (calls her up at home)
Lonely dialer (Sally picks up the phone)
Sally picks up the phone, Sally picks up the phone
Sally picks up the phone, Sally picks up the phone

Silly Sally sings a song the dialer hypnotize
Sally listens to him as he tells her of his size

Strange dialer, lonely dialer

Track 05 On By

Written by Paul Smith, Steve “Gibby” Womback & Hormoans

Song Length: 3:18

Listen to the Song:
[audio:Hormoans/05-FantasyTonight.mp3]

Lyrics
You walk across the bar room floor, your ass looks good to me
There’s a space, like an entrance place to your juicy cavity
I’ll remember that later, oh I’ll recall your breasts and their buoyancy
Your eyes, I’ll memorize to imagine in my ecstasy

It’s the right kind of body to see with my eyes shut tight
Oh, be my Vaseline lady and my fantasy tonight

You sit there with your boyfriend, your legs spread so carelessly
My hand will do later what my eyes are now doing for me

It’s the right kind of body to see with my eyes shut tight
Oh, be my Vaseline lady and my fantasy tonight

Later at home, when I’m all alone you’ll appear behind my eyes
My hand will be your mouth, my mind will be your thighs
I don’t care who you are, your mind is not important to me
I don’t want to meet you, all I want is what I see

It’s the right kind of body to see with my eyes shut tight
Oh, be my Vaseline lady and my fantasy tonight

Listen to the Song:
[audio:Hormoans/04-QuickJoeySmall.mp3]

Lyrics
Quick Joey Small went over the wall
Dragged a ball and a chain behind him
The Sheriff got cookin’, said we better start lookin’
So he sent the dogs right out to find him

Run Joey, Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Run Joey, Joey run run they’re gonna send you back to jail

Sweet Mary Jane was goin’ insane when she heard of Joey’s jail break
But she knew all the while ’cause she sent him a file
Baked up deep inside a fudge cake

Run Joey, Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Run Joey, Joey run run they’re gonna send you back to jail

Sheriff got a shotgun, he’ll fill you full of lead son
He’s also got a blackjack, he’s gonna bust your head with one wack

Run Joey, Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Run Joey, Joey run run they’re gonna send you back to jail
Run Joey, Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Run Joey, Joey run run they’re gonna send you back to jail, back to jail

Run Joey, Joey run run the hounds are on your trail
Run Joey, Joey run run they’re gonna send you back to jail, back to jail

Boys Don’t Cry

By Cygnus Wave April 20, 2008 January 3, 2024 Hormoans Album Tracks

Track 01 On By

Written by Michael Dempsey, Robert Smith, & Lol Tolhurst

Song Length: 2:33

Listen to the Song:
[audio:Hormoans/03-BoysDon’tCry.mp3]

Lyrics
I would say I’m sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much, been too unkind

I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies
I try and laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes

Because boys don’t cry, boys don’t cry

I would break down at your feet and beg forgiveness, plead with you
But I know that it’s too late and now there’s nothing I can do

I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies
I try and laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes

Because boys don’t cry, boys don’t cry

I would tell you that I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it’s no use
That you’ve already gone away

Misjudged your limit, pushed you too far
Took you for granted, I thought that you needed me more

Now I would do most anything to get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing, hiding the tears in my eyes

Because boys don’t cry, boys don’t cry, boys don’t cry
