Veruca Salt - B sides & Non LP tracks


Aurora
Written by - Nina Gordon
How could you be everything
We were cracking you up to be?
We're cracking ourselves up too
We're cracking ourselves up to be you
Had you in my hand
Now, where'd you go, Aurora?
See you up ahead, but I don't know if I can go as far as you go
Everything keeps happening
And its happening to me
I'm losing sight of its meaning
You blew away the meaning
I had it in my hand
Now, where'd it go, Aurora?
I see you up ahead but I don't know if I can go as far as you go
And everyone keeps telling me that this is good
I needed you to tell me it was good, too
Had you in my hand
Now, where'd you go, Aurora?
I see you up ahead but I don't know if I can go as far as you go

Cock Of Nothing
Written by - Nina Gordon
Hold me up, I cannot stand
I am nothing, I'm your man
You have, I know you chant
I will know that I'm your man
Hold me up, I'll hold you down
And you'll be thankful you have found a man
Like me
If I'm bad, you'll smack my hand
Little baby, little man
Forty pounder in the sand
Cock of nothing, I'm your man
Hold me up, I'll hold you down
And you'll be thankful you have found a man
Like me
Oh no, here I go
See, I can't connect if I can't control
And I (Oh no) see, I can't release if I can't let go
And I can't let you go, whoa
Hold me up, I'll hold you down
And you'll be thankful you have found a man
Like me
Like me
Like me

Halloween Day
Written by - Nina Gordon
My life, just got grim
My life, on account of him
You had a chance
You could have made it again
Are you really gonna marry her on
Halloween Day
Halloween Day
Your wife is torn apart
Beware of her haunted heart
I thought you had a chance
I thought you'd make it again
I never really thought you'd marry her on
Halloween Day
Halloween Day
And something's spooky in the pit of my heart
And something's stirring in the trunk of my car
My name is itching on the roof of my mouth
Don't go out
Don't go out
Don't go out after
go out after dark
After dark
After dark
After dark on
Halloween Day
Halloween Day
My life, just got grim
My life, on account of him
On account of him
On account of him
On account of him

Hey Little Ghost
Written by - Nina Gordon
Hey little ghost
Are you haunting me right now?
Cause I feel a little chill
And the door's not open
Anyway
I love you when your gone
Oh, I love you when your gone

One More Page Of Insincerity Please
Written by - Nina Gordon
Waste of paper and ink
Biding my time
While fighting sleep
Preventing health
Trying to satisfy myself
The day is over
I can't get over it
I must move on
When it is gone
One more page of insincerity please

She's a Brain
Written by - Nina Gordon & Louise Post
Take me I am yours
You don't have to beg and plead when I'm finished with your body
She's a brain
She's a brain
She's a brain
She is not quite what I wanted
She is not quite what I need Someone said she was cerebral, but I don't know what that means,
Please explain
Take me I am yours
Take me I am yours
She said, take me I implore you
Don't you know that really
When she's finished with my body,
Does she say she's going to pour me down the drain?

Sleeper Car
Written by - Nina Gordon
Bright you are
Bigger than the both of us
Though I'm a star
I can't burn that bright
Tiger car
Swerving forward into us
Now here we are
Sleeper car
Now you're backing into me
Oh, where you are
Feels good for now
Although my arms
Ache harder than they ever have
You drive so far
Sleeper car
Now you're backing into me
Oh, where you are
Feels good for now
Sleeper car
Now you're backing into me
Now you're backing into me
Now you're backing into me
Sleeper car
Now you're backing into me
Oh, where you are
Feels good for now
Although my arms
Ache harder than they ever have
You drive so far, yeah
You drive so far
You drive so hard
You drive so hard

The Speed Of Candy
Written by - Nina Gordon
Panic
Frenzy
My love is near
Panic
Frenzy
My love is here
But there's one thing
I know I need you to deliver me
With all the speed of candy
Whoa, I'm a sugar queen, so
Shoot me with the speed
That I need
Panic
Five AM
My love sleeps
Panic
Six AM
My mind creeps
But there's one thing
I know I need you to deliver me
With all the speed of candy
Whoa, I'm a sugar queen, so
Shoot me with the speed
That I need
And when it's over
My teeth will be like glue
Is it true that's all I need?
Come on and feed me candy
Candy
Whoa, we're all on the sugar team, so
Shoot me with the speed
That I need
It's the speed that I need
It's the speed that I need
It's the speed

Stacey Please
(Tick, tick) (I can't get it, yeah) Yeah, yeah (Ha-ha)
That's a song by a six-year-old 
A six-year-old friend of mine.
Yeah, let's do that again, ready? (Ha-ha) Ready?
M.C. Hammer stinks, he stole my girl away
She stole my heart away, M.C. Hammer stinks
Stacey please come back to me, I need your love, you know I do
M.C. I've got a message for ya, you're gonna get it, yeah
Groovy

Good Disaster
I can't do this any better
I don't have the right to try
I can't get there any faster
Watch the hours go by
Weren't you in Mississippi
Weren't you rude to my friend
You could have covered for me
She paid to see your band
My mother never liked you
My brother felt the same
They all saw right through you
Before I knew you were lame
Run little one, away from what you started
Something will come of all tomorrow's parties
Oh all tomorrow's parties
We could have had so much...fun
Another good disaster
I love to fall apart
They tell me I'm the master
Of loving and losing heart

Pale Green
Pale Green 
I am fourteen
Wrapped in a white sheet
Rain's coming through the window
The moon lands on my feet
I am pale green
I think she laced it with PCP
I feel like I'm in hell now
I want my dad
I want my dad
I am somewhere far from seeing seeing seeing
And look at me now
It's seven in the morning
You're dreaming where it's storming
I miss you
I miss you without warning
I am somewhere far from seeing
Back to Veruca Salt
I Never Met Her
I've never met her
And I don't mind
I've seen her face a thousand times
She hide's behind her hair
I wonder if her love is like mine
Face up
I face the day
Three weeks
You threw away
I'll never blame her
I never will
You make me hate a girl that way
Touchdown
I hear you scored
I watched you slide out through the back door
I never met her
But when I do
I'll thank her for saving me from you
Thank her for saving me from you

Swedish Fish
 
Green or red
Goodnight
Remember
Green is best of all the flavors
Go ahead
It's only water
I love my Swedish fish
I love my Swedish fish
I love my Swedish fish
He's my secret wish
Talk to me
I need attention
Tell me all of your confessions
Tell me if I cease to mention
I love my Swedish fish
I love my Swedish fish
I love my Swedish fish
He's my pisces gift
I'm never coming back
I'm too far gone
Won't you be heading this way before too long
I'm holding on
To you
I love my Swedish fish
I love my Swedish fish
I love my Swedish fish
He's my secret wish
I love my Swedish fish
I love my Swedish fish
I love my Swedish fish
He's my favorite gift

Hey Lifesaver
Written by - Nina Gordon
Inspiration
Well it wasn't divine
And it wasn't mine
It was yours
Hey lifesaver
You know you're not my flavor anymore
Your life has come and gone
Sleeping later, dreaming longer
I know how it feels
