Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
A bee's in my bonnet
The cow ate the cabbage…cabbage …cabbage
My boyfriend’s Michael Myers
Believe me I’m damaged..damaged…damaged
Here kitty kitty
Calling all girls
Making this a better world
Girls take no prisoners
Just take karate…karate…karate
Life is a present
And today’s your birthday party…party …party
Here kitty kitty
Calling all girls
Making this a better world
Make me one with everything
Make me one with everything
Everything on it
The secret of love is
Wigs and foreign accents..Swedish…Spanish
Tell me who it hurts …Italian …Bulgarian
When I dress up like a sexy nurse…or X-ray technician
Kittens man your space ships
Robots rev your rockets ..rockets..rockets
We’re headed for the stars …Venus …Mars
And I’m one with everything on it…one with everything on it
Here kitty kitty
Calling all girls
Making this a better world
Calling all girls
Calling all girls
Calling all girls
Calling all girls Make me one with everything
Calling all girls Make me one with everything
Calling all girls Make me one with everything
Calling all girls

Recipe For Disaster

Music by Josie Cotton and Ari Shine
Lyrics by Josie Cotton
Good enough to eat
I got tired of being so sweet
Now I’m just a girl
Who’s become a destroyer of worlds
Everything’s a game
A nursery rhyme of pain
Hide and seek and knick knack paddy wack
This is what I do
But I don’t want to
Look what I’ve done…"look what she’s done"
I blot out the sun
I’ve got a recipe for disaster
And this my friend’s the morning after
I unlaid my plans like a master
I’m the queen of the anti-matter
Bad enough to spank
And you can take that to the bank
Nothing’s like I planned
But I’m dancing as fast as I can
Everything’s a game
A nursery rhyme of pain
Hide and seek and knick knack paddy wack
This is what I do
But I don’t want to.
Look what I’ve done…"look what she’s done"
I blot out the sun
I’ve got a recipe for disaster
And this my friend’s the morning after
Let the bodies lay where they splatter
I’m the queen of the anti-matter
Faster Faster Faster
Run Faster Faster Faster ….from me
Wish I was a ball just bouncing... oh
Or a yoyo…oh
Wish I was a ball just bouncing …up and down, up and down
I’ve got a recipe for disaster
And here’s one for you
You dirty bastards
I’m not climbin' no social ladder
I’m the queen of the anti-matter
Recipe for disaster
Recipe for disaster
Recipe for disaster.. faster harder deeper
Recipe for disaster.. harder faster harder deeper
Disaster!!

Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
Yeah
Every time I just stop and think
Everything is so shocking pink
Everything is oh yeah yeah
Oh you
Yesterday was your baby blue
Now you’re painting a different hue
Everything is oh yeah
Bridge:
You can make the rain go
Away from the sky
Flyin’ through a rainbow
In a red balloon to a yellow moon so high
I think you know why
Yeah
So tomorrow’s a purple haze
No escaping it anyway
Everything is oh yeah
Bridge:
Yeah nothing’s ever just black and white
Underneath where the colors hide
Your everything is oh yeah
Everything is oh yeah
Everything is oh yeah

Music and lyrics by Robbie Quine
Additional lyrics by Josie Cotton
And your Pussycat Babylon
Silently revoke the curse
You’re a child of the universe…pussycat
In the city that never sleeps
Where the lonely kittens weep
Babylon…
And your Pussycat Babylon
And your Pussycat Babylon
Will you love me when I get old?
Will you do me when my body gets cold…pussycat
Tie me down and give me the whip
This is the gospel
Baby boy I know you like it
And your Pussycat Babylon
And your Pussycat Babylon
And your Pussycat Babylon
I’m a cool, cool kitty but I bite
Take it slow Daddy-o or I might
Pussycat
In the city that never sleeps
Where the lonely kittens weep
Babylon
And your Pussycat Babylon
Meow

Words and Music by Josie Cotton
I wake up with the TV on
Fly away …see the new Hong Kong
Asian girls just slightly out of focus
I don’t notice that I notice
There’s a movie in my head
Projecting from my bed
Drowning out the splashing sounds of summer
When I lost the Seventh Wonder
He only knew the words
He never knew the song
A turn of phrase that turned out wrong
He only knew the words
He never knew the song…He never knew the song
I should go to the hardware store
Do the things that I did before
Seems like the things are always getting broken
And time keeps getting frozen
It was something that you said
And the way that you turned your head
You were like a drug. My heart was pounding
A poem by Charles Bukowski
You only knew the words
You never knew the song
A turn of phrase that turned out wrong
You only knew the words
You never knew the song…You never knew the song
I know there’s a world outside
People stand in grocery lines
As continents collide
And I’m just sitting at my vanity
And holding onto gravity
Tonight there’s a movie on
It’s a kung fu marathon
Fists will fly but good will always triumph
In the house of crying tigers
There are things that we’ll never know
And faces we must let go
People that I always will remember
Until the 12th of never… never
He only knew the words
He never knew the song
A turn of phrase that turned out wrong
He only knew the words
He never knew the song...
He never knew the song
And the melody you feel is the only thing that’s real
He only knew the words
He only knew the words
He only knew the words
I know there’s a world outside
People stand in grocery lines
As continents collide
He only knew the words
I know there’s a world outside
People stand in grocery lines
As continents collide
Fly away …see the new Hong Kong
Fly away …see the new Hong Kong
Fly awaaaaaay
See the new Hong Kong

Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
Hey freak show
You’re a million miles from home
You’re a stranger
In a world that’s not your own
Look around …The beauty and the violence
Make a noise …Interrupt the silence
No way to stop it
We just have to rock it
Stop Iggy Pop
Stop Iggy Pop
Stop Iggy Pop
I don’t care anymore
Now stop… take it on down
You are somewhere
Across the Milky Way
And you crashed here
On a weekend holiday ..oh
Look around …The beauty and the violence
Make a move …Interrupt the silence
No way to stop it
We just have to rock it
Stop Iggy Pop
Stop Iggy Pop …to the ground
Stop Iggy Pop
I don’t care anymore
Now stop… take it down
Now stop… look at you now
If they find you
They will put you in a cage
Vivisect you
Welcome to the human race…oh
Look around …The beauty and the violence
Make a scene …Interrupt the silence
No way to stop it
We just have to rock it
Stop Iggy Pop
Stop Iggy Pop …to the ground
Stop Iggy Pop
I don’t care anymore
Stop ...
Mohair sweater
Polk a dot pants
Now you look better
If you wanna live dance
If you wanna live dance
If you wanna live dance
There’s no way to stop it
We just have to rock it
Stop Iggy Pop
Stop Iggy Pop …to the ground
Stop Iggy Pop
You won’t care anymore
Stop …Stop …Stop
Stop Iggy Pop …Stop
Stop Iggy Pop …Stop
You invented techno?
Stop ….

Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
I am not amused
On this dark lonely highway I cruise
Mysteries to see
There are eyes on the soles of your feet
And all I can see is the face of Bruce Lee
All I can see is his face
All I can see is the face of Bruce Lee
All I can see is his face
Atom Bombs
Spinning tops
Saturn’s rings
All these things
Giant Ants
Spandex pants
Disco lights
Get down tonight…join the party
Everything is true
But you got to keep moving…kung fu
If I don’t make it back
Walkin Tall …Walkin Tall…Hey Billy Jack
All I can see is the face of Bruce Lee
All I can see is his face
All I can see is the face of Bruce Lee
All I can see is his face
Astro boy
Ship Ahoy
Barbie dolls
Adderall
Paris France
Sex romance
Disco lights
Get down tonight …get on down tonight
What kind of kung fu is this?
I know not your foreign ways
Hmmm…hey …. Bruce Lee…hah…hmmm
All I can see is the face of Bruce Lee…
All I can see is the face of Bruce Lee…hmmm. . Ohh
Atom Bombs
Spinning tops
Saturn’s rings
All these things
Giant Ants
Spandex pants
Disco lights
Get down tonight
I am not amused
On this dark lonely highway I cruise
There is only he
I love you …forgive me, Jet Lee
But all I can see is the face of Bruce Lee
All I can see is his face
All I can see is the face of Bruce Lee
All I can see is his face
Who’s he? …All I can see is his face ….hmmm
Bruce Lee…..All I can see is his face
Disco lights Get down tonight…Join the party …
There is much work to do… to do…to do

If a Lie was Love

Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
If a lie was love
Tell me what you’d do
If the people that you knew
Seemed different to you
If a lie was love
All of us would change
Lives would rearrange
It’s really not so strange
What did lies ever do
To you, my friend?
They’re the keepers of truth
They’ll be with you
Till the bitter end
If a lie was love
Worlds would just collide
Nothing could survive
No matter how we try
If a lie was love
Love would be a lie
In the blinking of an eye
A rift in space and time
What did lies
Ever do to you anyway?
They’re the keepers of truth
The right lie could seal your fate
That’s all it takes
The right lie could seal your fate
That’s all it takes
If a lie was love
If a lie was love
If a lie was love
Be careful what you say

Super 8

Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
It started off so innocent… Expectations
If you call fate an accident…Expectations
We met on the Internet
The promise of kinky sex
A new tomorrow to love… tomorrow to love
Let’s make a new tomorrow to love
Words are aphrodisiacs…Expectations
You could have been a psychopath…Expectations
A disturbing symmetry
Like porno from the 70’s
A new tomorrow to love…tomorrow to love
Let’s make a new tomorrow to love
Labor Day in Milwaukee
I wore those sexy stockings
In a Super 8 parking lot
In a Super 8 parking lot
You don’t even know me... Expectations
Like sometimes I get lonely…Expectations
Used to hide in the bathroom stall
Decapitating Barbie dolls
And no tomorrow to love ..tomorrow to love
Come on make a new tomorrow …tomorrow…tomorrow…tomorrow…tomorrow
Come on come on baby … Come on come on baby
It’s better this way
Never loved you anyway
In a Super 8 parking lot
In that yellow coat
The one I lost
In a Super 8 parking lot
It’s better …it’s better…it’s better…it’s better
Better this way …better this way
Better this way …better this way

Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
Cholos in lowriders
Pull up beside you and stare
Chicas with razor blades
Tucked out of sight in their hair
The city es mucho calor
The sidewalks are steamin’
He likes it cold in the dark
Antarctica dreamin’
Hey now now
Baby, lay me down
We got no future
Couldn’t be more wrong…Sing it
Hey now now
Baby, lay me down
This love is doomed
Cabrones y putas
Are down the Los Angeles River
Ask anyone on the street
Where the goods are delivered
He closes the door and he owns me
I give up control
He ties me up wearing stockings
And high heal stilettos
Hey now now
Baby, lay me down
We got no future
It couldn’t be more wrong…Sing it
Hey now now
Baby, lay me down
This love is doomed
This love is doomed
La la la la La la la la La la la la
La la la la La la
I want to kill all the haters
For hurting my angel… angel
Baby, I know how it feels
To them I’m no stranger…no stranger
He’s got the story of life
Etched on his body
Jesus, you can’t save me now
Nothing can stop me… stop me
Hey now now
Baby, lay me down
We got no future
It couldn’t be more wrong….Sing it
Hey now now
Baby, lay me down
This love is doomed
Hey now now
Baby, lay me down
Hey now now
Baby, lay me down
Hey now…Hey now…Hey now
This love is doomed
I know it’s wrong
This love is doomed…
