Track Name: I Confess
lyrics: Kevin Coyne

I confess that I killed the cat
The cat was speckled and fat
He was an angry cat
But I thought he was laughing

I confess that I hit my brother
That I trapped my mother
And I struck my sister
Her nose was bleeding

I confessed to the priest one day
He said, "Undress your soul and go away"
I undressed and what did he say
He started laughing

I recall a big black bird
He flapped his wings, the sound was heard over the town,
When he pounced on me
I wasn't breathing

I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it all the time
I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it all the time

I cried a million tears
I've been crying through the years
Too many wines and too many beers
I'm feeling dozy

I know that I'm not the one
I'm a rebel, and a rebel is alone
Wherever you go, you'll find the same
Everybody is breeding

And you reach out, and say that you're mine
Make me much better, and I'm waiting on time
For the time when I feel like you
So optimistic

I confess that I killed the cat
The cat was speckled and fat
He was an angry cat
But I thought he was laughing

I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it all the time
I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it
I did it, I said it all the time
Track Name: A Sucker's Evening
lyrics by Will Oldham:

I will not pick a fight with you
I'd be scared I'd foul it up
What with one of your arms
I could get busted up

Don't come around here angry
This is a house of water
You'll be cold and soaking wet
'Ere you leave here

Make a noise, crack a glass
I'll hold his arms, you fuck him
Fuck him with something
The fuck - he deserves it

Stay here while I get a curse
To give him a goat head
Make him watch me take his place
Night has brought him something worse

Lady and I we like to have our times
Tonight we spent ourselves
We ran it dry like sand
We had all there was to spend
Track Name: We All, Us Three, Will Ride
lyrics by Will Oldham

In a small far room the bed is set
With trinkets all surrounding
Yet lone it rests, so dry it sets
With souls aside abiding
There moves legs warm and close inside
No, no leg braces a hello
And pictures on walls where paint is lame
Where sinks are friendly running

Reflect, reflect metal cast
My toe has long been swollen
My knees are blue, my eyes are too
My love has not forgotten
Will come, will come, o he will come
And make me have a baby
Then I foresee we all, us three, will ride and all together

The hills have eyes, their trees have lives
Disjointed like a hero
No saga told, no things unfold
To make the ride much finer
The length is fine, his hand in mine
Does someone hear our chatter
A lover's laugh, a bleeding calf
A dog out in the harbor
