Last year's troubles Last year's troubles Last year's troubles are so old fashioned The robber on the highway the pirate on the seas Maybe it's the clothing that's so entertaining The earrings and swashbuckling blouses that please Here we have heroes of times that have passed now But nobody these days has that kind of chin Over there the petticoats of ladies of virtue You can hardly tell them from the petticoats of sin Last year's troubles Last year's troubles Look at all the waifs of Dickensian England Why is it their suffering is more picturesque? Must because their rags are so very Victorian The ones here at home just don't give it their best Last years troubles they shine up so prettily They gleam with a luster, they don't have today 'Cause here it's just dirty and violent and troubling Extra Last year's troubles Last year's troubles Trouble is still trouble and evil still evil Sometimes we wonder is there more now, or less? If we had a tool or could tally the handfulls Measure for measure it's the same would be my guess Last year's troubles Last year's troubles Last year's troubles Last year's troubles

Well, I might dig up Elvis or travel the States Bathe in margaritas, and then just sit and wait Oh, I think I'd go speeding down the 405 Bury my lovers, evaluate life Oh, I'd break into Cher's house, and try on some clothes Probably drink more, and then decompose Maybe I'd settle on the silent West Coast Steal all the jewels, talk to Julia's ghost But even before I did all that I planned I'd probably go crazy, and then I'd turn mad And I'd give me some pills that probably wouldn't work And that'd be the end of the last man on Earth (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah) Take what I can and then die in the dirt (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah) That'd be the end of the last man on Earth That'd be the end of the last man on Earth Oh, I'd walk on the runway where airplanes take off Swim out to sea, let the loneliness rot And I'd steal all the wax girls down in L.A. Invite them for dinner, and ask them to stay And I might take a bat to a window or two Drive on a tractor through the president's room And I might take a mannequin to be my spouse Invade a cathedral and make it my house I'm counting the days to the rapture (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah) Take what I can and then die in the dirt (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah) That'd be the end of the last man on Earth That'd be the end of the last man One, two, three, four and five There go my friends, all dropping like flies Six, seven, eight, nine and ten Here's to the last man on Earth in the end One, two, three, four and five There go my friends, all dropping like flies Six, seven, eight, nine and ten Here's to the last man on Earth in the end (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah) Take what I can and then die in the dirt (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah) That'd be the end of the last man on Earth That'd be the end of the last man on Earth

Field Commander Cohen He was our most important spy Wounded in the line of duty Parachuting acid into diplomatic cocktail parties Urging Fidel Castro to abandon fields and castles Leave it all and like a man Come back to nothing special Such as waiting rooms and ticket lines Silver bullet suicides and messianic ocean tides And racial roller coaster rides And other forms of boredom, advertised as poetry I know you need your sleep now I know your life's been hard But many men are falling Where you promised to stand guard I never asked but I heard You cast your lot along with the poor But then I overheard your prayer That you be this and nothing more Than just some grateful faithful woman's Favorite singing millionaire The patron Saint of Envy and the grocer of despair Working for the Yankee dollar I know you need your sleep now I know your life's been hard But many men are falling Where you promised to stand guard Ah, lover come and lie with me If my lover is who you are And be your sweetest self awhile Until I ask for more, my child Then let the other selves be one, yeah Let them manifest and come 'Til every taste is on the tongue 'Til love is pierced and love is hung And every kind of freedom done Then, oh, my love, oh, my love Oh, my love, oh, my love Oh, my love, oh, my love Oh, my love
