Decibels And Little Pills


Lyrics copied from songmeaningdotnet

Tuning: Tune down one whole step DGCFAD

Am                                                                                       G
Decibels and little pills and all the thrills you steal from the moon
Am                                                                                              G
Holding hands with bright new friends names are only good for gravestones
Am                                                                                                          G
Because he was sweet and so was she, and you needed love to fill the dark
Am                                                                                             G
And time is a current that only flows from warm hands to warm hearts

G                                   C       C/B    Am
No one here is going to sa------ve    you
No one here is going to sa------ve    you

In bed you said forever that the world would end if one of you let go
You woke up just in time for the sunset, you said "Let's all go to the big rock show"
And in the bar when you were playing air guitar they suddenly vanished on their little clouds
And in this place you can't find a face without a trace of despair, or a shroud

No one here is going to save you
No one here is going to save you

And you pull off your blouse, wet girls gone wild, for a crowd that just didn't want to know
And it's not your scene, everyone is mean, your eyes they say, "I don't want to know"
And how sad is that, your rebel cowboy hat, all it says is you're tonight's casualty
Oh, and the crowd is proud to look away like they've never been desperate or lonely

No one here is going to save you
No one here is going to save you
No one here is going to save you
Where's the one that's going to save you?

Mean Mark Eitzel "Gets Fat" & Other Scans

Recently I bought a scanner/printer and I have a little time off work so I decided to scan the inlay for "Mean Mark Eitzel 'Gets Fat' and post it online for those that have not seen it. 

"Gets Fat" is the self published 'Cassette Product #1' by Mark Eitzel and was self released in 1982. Some of the songs formed the repertoire of the first AMC live shows. "Hold On To Your Love" appeared on debut album "The Restless Stranger" and "Shadow Of My Name" became "Big Night" on the album "Engine" 























I purchased the tape on Ebay. It was being sold by a very trustworthy source so I know it is genuine. The bid became rather high. Over £100 if I remember correctly. The seller was very generous and included a couple of bootlegs on old cassettes and  "The Naked Skinnies" 7" Single "All My Life/This Is The Beautiful Night" 





My favorite Mark Eitzel memorabilia has to be the signed copies of "Superhits" and "Live @ WFMU" when Mark played Dingwalls in London in 2002 I had emailed him asking if any copies was available and he had replied that there was some in London and when he was there I could mail him some money for them. To mildly put it - I was over the moon.



When you put them both together they form a picture

Cmaj7*                              F#7
I remember how I let you down
Cmaj7*                                              
Everything you say reminds me of the pain
Cmaj7*                  D
How you lost your dignity
Cmaj7*                         F#7
Passing in and out of a dream

A                                                        G
Is there some secret I’m supposed to know
A                                               G
Is there some secret I’d always miss
Cmaj7*                                                          D
‘Cause there’s no dignity when you have to live
Cmaj7*                              D
Within the boundaries of a kiss

C#m                     
And the nightwatchman
                 A
Yeah he’s asleep
Nightwatchman
                         C#m
I can't wake him up 
Watchman
                                           A           
Oh come on tell me what’s wrong
Nightwatchman
                          Cmaj7*
Is the night too long

                                              F#7
Is the same lie you gave me before
Cmaj7*
I don’t care anything you say is just fine
Cmaj7*                                                       D
I’ll just sit and watch the traffic passing by outside
Cmaj                                                           F#7
The will in the world it’s the prevailing tide

A                                                                      G
You’re supposed to watch the night as it passes by
A                                              G
You’re never supposed to need anyone
Cmaj7*                                          D
‘Cause once I knew the secret to happiness
Cmaj7*                                     D
I knew it once, oh but now it’s gone


C#m                     
And the nightwatchman
                A
Yeah he’s asleep
Nightwatchman
                           C#m
I can’t wake him up
Watchman
                                       A
oh C’mon tell me what’s wrong
Nightwatchman
                      C#m
Is the night too long
                    A
Is the night too long
                    C#m
Is the night too long
                   A                   
Is the night too long
                    C#m
Is the night too long

Bad Liquor


E       E    GEG …
Bad liquor, bad liquor, Who took the good out of the bottle?

Salt water, salt water, There’s a rock across the floor

The moon, the little moon, Well it's the saddest fucker of them all

Bad liquor, bad liquor, at the bottom of Niagara’s fall

E G A [bend sharp]
What’s you doing here Bitch? You gonna have some fun.
What’s you doing here Bitch? You’re gonna have some fun?
What’s you doing here Bitch? Well I’m the evil one.
What’s you doing here Bitch? Well I’m the evil one.

Bored with ya.

Bad liquor, bad liquor, Who’s pulling my strings tonight

Salt water, salt water, Well there's nothing that I do right

And all you people, who need people, You're the luckiest people of all

Bad liquor, bad liquor, At the bottom of Niagara’s fall

What’s you doing here Bitch? You’re gonna have some fun.
Bad luck. You’re gonna have some fun?
No way. You gonna have some fun?
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun.

This is actually A tuning I use... I dunno if its close; as always disclaimer applies..... But Mark seems to use DADGCF quite a bit(from what I gather)

How do you live
G*
 traveling like this
C*
You laugh too much
Like things used to be funny
G*
And now it's all a big state of bliss
C*
We had a little party
G*
Somewhere outside Memphis
C*
We hid a six-pack under the seat
G*
It's never too late to forget

F*
I can see them all standing around the

With big crowns of gold on their

Roy--------al  Ca------fe      Ca-------fe

If you keep laughing, I'll forgive you anything
Watch the towns pass by like tears
After all the scenery is just a blur
And the world is just ringing in our ears

Hey princess, this passage suspended
Between now and then
Make no problem
Don't worry about anything

Hurry, hurry, make sure there's no time
For them to get their claws in us
Raise a toast at the end of the line
At the Royal Cafe

Haven't figured this out yet.....

But the harder your pain
You got to find a way to survive
With all your pain
You got to find something to keep alive

Don't worry about the Magic Kingdom
They wouldn't even let us near the gate
Yeah, we're just a couple of anchors
Dragging an empty slate

Are you ready to go
You'll be happier I know
Are you ready to go
To the Royal Cafe

Here They Roll Down

E          
Well I got into waikiki
                                              B
And I spend my time up in the hotel room
       A
No sunburn for me
                      E
No friends no family

Yes I see the view
Well I think I seen it somewhere before
Curled up on the sand
Curled up on the floor

B
And the hula maiden says
                 A
I'll give you everything for free
                B
You're as hungry as the tide
          A                                                                     E
That's drowning me

Well I took my big free ride
I went out to the big barbecue
And I got smashed on the beach
I was thinking about you

This is my big aloha
Brought to you from the volcano state
Where they serve up your soul
For $3.99 a plate

And the hula maiden says
I'll give you everything for free
Oh sugar you're as hungry as the tide
That's washing over me

And the hula maiden said
Oh darling I see it in your eyes
Well did you do it over here beautiful
Did you come here to die
Well she said did you come here to buy

Well this my big aloha
Coming to you from the volcano state
Where they lose track of your soul
And never bring you your spaghetti plate

All correspond when you're on the way to the emergency room
And they're giving you all this great sedation
But really you just want someone

Chrous


Bb                                       Am
People use their goodness as some kind of excuse
     G                               F
For never really loving anyone
Bb                                   Am
And the road to hell is not some special abuse
C                                      G
Its really really never ever ever loving anyone

Ask me why do I always turn away
From every smiling face
I just want to be a light to light you from inside
And a smile so easily replaced

Verse
C                               Dm
Time doesn't have any exit signs
F                                   G
Just lights that string you along
C                                      Dm
The vacancy you're forced to fill
                                F
Is only going to prove, only going
                                 G
To prove that you were wrong

preChorus
F                           G
And you're forced to listen
You're forced to listen
That you have nothing left

                 In your life
 C     D     G      
you had it in your life
 C     D     G        E
You threw away your life
 C     D    F
Throw it to me

Don't ever trust their projection
Just gonna lead you nowhere
Just gonna lead you into marking time
They say you should embrace the danger

So cross the street into the traffic
You know you'll be okay
Just let them go on by

You're stuck with me, you're
Stuck with me yeah, I'm hanging by

In your life, you had it in your life
You threw away your life
Throw it to me

Bridge

Am
A road that only leads you
Em
Leads you under mine
Am          Em              F      G
Gives you no chance to breathe

They threw you in the deep end
And they left you floating
Stood on the sidelines
And laughed at your place in life
Now you can't do the dog paddle
And it's humiliating

Guessing games and calling names
Undermined by love and life
Scattered sun and terror
Doesn't make it any clearer
You can't say return to sender

In your life, I live in your life
I live in your life
                                   Am
And that's all that saves me

I know from watching him that he plays this riff higher on the
neck - I kinda prefer this way though - at least 'til I figure out what
he's doing.

Don't have the bridge; instead, I usually play this (one chord per bar):

----0----1----3----5----1----3----5----7-----0     --12-

Then It Really Happens


Tuning – Standard

Intro Dm C

Dm               C
You can write about it
Dm               C
You can feel it flow through your heart
Dm               C
You can wish for it with all your might,
Dm               C
but then it really happens.

F                  Dm
All I know is I can't stay at home
F                           G
I stay out all night - at least `til closing time
F          
He stares at my window,
Dm
stares all night long,
C                                        G
like he would drink the last drop
                         Am
from my reflection.

Dm                   C
I only trust their indifference
Dm                             C
I only trust a touch that slides off of me
Dm                              C
I only trust a short-term rental and I walk home,
Dm                            C
another drip lost in the Milky Way...

Bb
You butcher, you tailor,
Am
did your sad mothers name you?
Bb
You came out of nowhere,
Am         C
and that's what defines you
Bb
Your entertainment value
Am            
like a plastic dinosaur
C
The truth matters more
                     G                    Am
than what you did or who you are

Dm                        C
You can dream about it
Dm                         C
You can wish for it with all your might,
Dm                          C
but then you hear its song beat against your window,
Dm                          C
and then it really happens

F                  Dm
All I know is I can't stay at home
F                           G
I stay out all night - at least `til closing time
F          
He stares at my window,
Dm
stares all night long,
C                                        G           Am
like he would answer all of my questions
