I have only dreamed of seven lies (One, two, three, four, five, six, seven) Four of which five times I've made two tries (Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one) Two have failed me but they shouldn't Tried to drown me but they couldn't Now I ask you to play out my (my have we) Fantasy Seven lies, seven lies I have only dreamed of only Seven lies, seven lies One two three two six five four three Seven lies, seven lies Four of which three times I've had tow tries Seven lies One, I'll help you Two, I'll be there tonight Three, I like your dress Four, it doesn't bite Five, I promise not to hurt you Six, I never will forget you Seven. I think you fulfilled my (my have we) Fantasy Seven lies, seven lies I have only dreamed of only Seven lies, seven lies One two three two six five four three Seven lies, seven lies Four of which three times I've had tow tries Seven lies Try to follow if you can We must not rely on the truth We have no patent on the lies rely on my (my have we) Fantasy Seven lies, seven lies I have only dreamed of only Seven lies, seven lies One two three two six five four three Seven lies, seven lies Four of which three times I've had tow tries Seven lies

Suzy was a girl of nineteen (nineteen) Fresh as a muffin never spoiled my man's hand Danny sat at home played computer space invaders Mom and dad hoped Danny would soon be a man And though they never met Suzy dreamed a dream of Danny He held her in his arms Suzy said to him (Oh won't you) make love to me like a computer? Turn me off then on we'll do it all over again Make love to me like a computer Computer chips can make no sin Friday night Suzy was an ice ice skater (ice ice) Every night she skated if momma let her 'til half-past ten Mom and dad took Danny out he pleaded "don't make me go!" Dad said "don't worry, you'll know what to do I told you when" Danny hung on the rail thinking ROM wishing that he was home Suzy hit his skate fell on her head she had a dream of him (Oh won't you) make love to me like a computer? Turn me off then on we'll do it all over again Make love to me like a computer Computer chips can make no sin Suzy was a girl of nineteen (nineteen) Fresh as a muffin never spoiled my man's hand Danny sat at home just looked at his computer Locked inside he knew was how to be a man Locked inside were visions of Suzy's man (Ah) be a man (be a man) (Ah) be a man (be a man) I'm going to do the best I can (be a man) "Hello?" "Hello Danny, this is Suzy" Make love to me like a computer Turn me off then on we'll do it all over again Make love to me like a computer Computer chips can make no sin, sin, sin, sin, sin, no! Make love to me like a computer Turn me off then on we'll do it all over again Make love to me like a computer Make love to me

Treat Me Like A Cowboy 03:45
lyrics

Riding 'cross the desert plain tonight Shooting past the tumbleweed my spurs go jangle jangle You're waiting in my stall turn out the light Coyote cries fill the air the wind kicks off a shingle Are you afraid of my six sex shooter I'm going to bring you to your knees Treat me like a cowboy Treat me like a cowboy Treat me like a cowboy Treat me like a cowboy The smell of burning flesh fills the air The stinging pain of family brands forever linger linger The boots you wear I fill from year to year I'd rather be a cowboy than a long hair rock and roll singer Smoke will fill the air when comes the tin star hero (tin star hero) Until that day I'll be your man Treat me like a cowboy Treat me like a cowboy Treat me like a cowboy Treat me like a cowboy Happy trails to you The dust of the land fills my eyes and ears Can you feel the weight that the earth has laid upon me They say out there's only steers and queers But years have shown me visions only meant for me to see Don't turn away while I peel you open I like to hear my cattle scream Treat me like a cowboy Treat me like a cowboy Treat me like a cowboy Treat me like a cowboy

about

This is a collection Rogue Tortoise's unfinished recordings, a project that we recorded in the summer of 1987 while Brett was home on summer break from college.

At one point, we considered forming a "band" and performing these songs live, and had included our friend Jay Littrell as an additional vocalist, as well as my high school friend Ken that played trumpet.

None of these recordings were completed, and with exception to "Take It" contained only scratch vocal tracks (if any vocal tracks were recorded at all).

"Get That Damn Cat Out Of My Hedge" was composed but never recorded during the original sessions. This version was recorded more than 30 years later in February of 2019.
