Your Girl Lana

Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there
There's a good man, waiting for me

A-M-E-R-I-C-A, all i wanna do is play
See the city every day, pretty party nation

Tell me that you think I'm good
Happy that I make you glad
'Cause I don't wanna think I'm bad, Gramma
I don't wanna think I'm bad
 
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there
There's a good man, waiting for me
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
"Don't you know, you don't need a thing?"
Gramma said that somewhere out there
There's a good man, waiting for me

T-R-O-U-B-L-E, trouble's what feels good to me
Crazy ass since I was three, now I'm out to getcha

But I been better lately, Mom
And I'm in love with everyone
And I don't wanna think I'm wrong
Just for feeling pretty
 
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there
There's a good man, waiting for me
(x2)

I wanna be the whole world's girl, Gramma
I wanna be the whole world's girl
I wanna be the whole world's girl, Gramma
Tell me do you think that's wrong?

"Don't cry, bunny, crazy girl
Don't you know you are the world?
Every time you feel unsure
Try, remember what you are."
 
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
Gramma said the flags are waving for me
Gramma said that somewhere out there
There's a good man, waiting for me
Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me
"Honey, don't you know, you have everything?"
Gramma said that somewhere out there
There's a good man, waiting for me
 
(Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me

Maybe we could go to Coney Island
Maybe I could sing the national anthem
Buy a white sweater for the last white day of the summer
Buy my purple wig for my mermaid video
Walk back to where we live in my motel
On Neptune Avenue

You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off
You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off

Maybe we could go to Sway Tokyo
Or see Van Halen at the reunion show
Heavy metal hour on T.V.
Diamond Dave and Ray Lee
And you salute me, Miss America
Because I am, I am

You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off
You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off

Maybe we could go to Coney Island
Maybe I could sing you to sleep
God bless the universe, god bless the ocean
God bless you and god bless me (x2)

You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off
You call me lavender, you call me sunshine
You say take it off, take it off

Palm trees in black and white
Last thing I saw before I died
Palm trees in black and white
Was the last thing I saw before I died
Right line, right man
Right mixture of cocaine and heroin

Do you wanna jump, jump, jump? (x3)
Do you, do you wanna?

Hair thinning in the wind
Cadillac convertible wind
Hot shot at two A.M.
You got the grin of a very old man

Do you wanna jump, jump, jump? (x3)
Do you, do you wanna?

Palm trees in black and white
You are a junkie on your window, smiling wide
Palm trees in black and white
Lean forward and you close your eyes
Last fight, fuck them
Last words before you went and left again

Do you wanna jump, jump, jump? (x3)
Do you, do you wanna?

Just do what you love, just do what you can
Just do what you love, just do what you can
Just do what you love, do it better than
Just do what you love, do it better than

Do you wanna?
Do you wanna?
Jump

All right, you got me
I don't play a good guitar
But what do want from me?
It's just a stupid bar
I didn't promise anything, no

You think I'm pretty and you like way I talk
I like your music and you like the way I walk
So I think we're gonna get along

I like the way you wear your sweater off your shoulder
The way your hair comes down and makes you look older
How you get so handsome, my boy?

Pretty baby
(x2)

The way your face is shaped, I wonder if you know
The way you stand up and your silhouette glows
I'm electrified, I'll be up all night now

Use that voice, sing that song
And tell me to come on, to come on, come on
You won't hear no
You won't hear no

Pretty baby
(x2)

Well, I didn't know it would come to this
But that's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright letting nice things go

Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
Gold and metal flowers dangling
And I almost cried as I sold them, oh

And I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no no
But I gotta get to and from where i come
And it's gonna take money to go
Oh, no...

In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
But it's better to know all you can know
I said it's nice to love and be loved
But I'd rather know what God knows
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

I can't do this once more
No man can keep me together
Been broken since i was born

Well, I didn't know it would come to this
But that's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright letting nice things go

Bound up the stairs
I'm in the shower
Do you know I am going to leave you?
Do you know I am going to leave you?

I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love lying in the sand
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can

Tell me about Ray and his girl
Do you know Ray is going to meet you?
Love you, I do
Stay here, I won't
The stars fade from your eyes

I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love lying in the sand
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can

One, two, make it fun
Don't trust anyone
(x2)

I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
(x2)
 
(One, two, make it fun
Don't trust anyone)

Demo lyrics in blue.


Give me coffee, king size cup
Come on kitty cat, fill her up
What's your name little buttercup?
That's for me to know and you to make up

Love casinos, Indian reservations
But baby if you love me, take me to the gas station
Gas station

Look at you smoking in them neon lights
Under the thunder yo, you like so nice
Made me wonder how you spend them nights
Me, I spend them looking for men I like
Like you (x4)

Love casinos, Indian reservations
But baby if you love me, take me to the gas station
Take me to the gas station

Give me coffee, Utah love
I'm the kinda girl you dream of
I'm trying to tell you what i dream of
And that's gas stations
The Slurpee machines and organs playing
Preferably, with smoking inside
If you can swing it (swing it, swing it, swing it)
Maybe with a post office attached to it
With chickens running in and out of it
Saw one like that in New Mexico on Route 66
And I'd be real pleased if we could find one just like it again
Again (x5)
Again (x5)

Love casinos, Indian reservations
But baby if you love me, take me to the gas station
Gas station

It's like you said, it's all been done before
I don't have to talk pretty for them no more
(x2)

I can talk what I want, how I wanna (x3)
I don't have to talk taste for you, Mama
No, no

Ray-ray-ray-raise me up (x2)
Ray-raise me up (x2)

It's the voodoo, Mississippi south
69 million stars
Birds are flying out of my mouth
Spirits creeping in my yard

Hold my head, it's tilting back
Something dancing me around
Putting crystals on my neck
Lifting my feet off the ground

Ray-ray-ray-raise me up (x2)
Ray-raise me up (x2)
(x2)

Oh, see, what you've done now
Oh, me, that's what i'm talking about
Oh, me, what you've done
Oh, me, it's what i'm talking 'bout
It's what I'm talking 'bout, it's what I'm talking about

Pick me up in a pickup truck
Roll down, you've got it going on
Let me talk on your CV1
Let me play with your new shotgun

Ray-ray-ray-raise me up (x2)
Ray-raise me up (x2)
(x2)
 
(Ray-ray-ray-raise me up
I can talk what I want how I wanna (x3)
I don't have to talk taste for you, Mama)

I look for you in magazines
I look for you in magazines
I look for you in magazines
I'm taking off my wedding ring

I gave you everything
I gave you everything

Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites, yeah
(x2)

I'm going back to Arbor Dean
I'm going back to Arbor Dean
I'm going back to Arbor Dean
Where when I was a beauty queen

I wasn't anything
It wasn't anything

Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites, yeah
(x2)

I'm waving on the silver screen
I'm waving on the silver screen
I'm waving on the trampoline
I'm waving on the silver screen

The film is fading, look at me, yeah (x3)
The film is fading, look at me, look at me

Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites, yeah
(x2)

Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites, yeah
(x2)

Give me the brite lites
Give me the brite lites

Oh say, can you see my stars?
The night time is almost ours
To wander through alleys and look at the bars
Night time is almost ours

The headlights from passing cars
They illuminate my face then leave me the dark.
The voice of Nirvana says "Come as You Are"
And I will
The night time is almost ours

The sway of the hips and arms
Will cradle you from afar
They swing 'til you're tired and send you to Mars
Night time is almost ours

There was a drive-by, Sunday night
Most of us were in bed, alright
I turned down the light
Then I heard the sirens interrupt the silence

Is this what you wished, to commit a crime?
Is this what you wished, to commit a crime?
Is this what you wished, to commit a crime, commit a crime, commit a crime?

He was a nice guy, really bright
Making money's hard to do right
Guilty was his plight
Now he's in a jail cell for some thirty years now

Is this what you wished, to be serving time?
Is this what you wished, to be serving time?
Is this what you wished, to be serving time, serving time, serving time?

K's a friend of mine
I think about him as he does time
Miss his white wine
Funny I don't feel free even though it's not me

Is this what you wished, to leave me behind?
Is this what you wished, to leave me behind?
Is this what you wished, to leave me behind, me behind, me behind?

Last year, they decided
That his time was up and then he got retried
Double homicide
Sent him onto death row, not to hang around, though

Is this what you wished, did you wanna die?
Is this what you wished, did you wanna die?
Is this what you wished, did you wanna die, wanna die, wanna die?
Did you wanna die, wanna die, wanna die, wanna die?
Did you wanna die?

Well, there is something about watching a crime
That makes me wanna go out and make it all mine
There's something about seeing you fight
That makes me wanna go out tonight

I got a bad disease
I got a bad disease to fall into
Yeah, it's true

There's something about seeing him die
That puts it all into perspective
And I wanna stay home, be left alone
Someone make my mind up so I don't have to decide

I got a bad disease
I got a bad disease to fall into
Yeah, I do

There's some reason why I can't sit still
Every waking moment I feel so unfulfilled
I try to lie down, but I don't know how
Baby, when I'm sleeping, if it's less like I am dreaming
Oh my god

I got a bad disease
I got a bad disease
It's got me down on my knees

There's a fear I have of feeling real bad
I'm fine now if I find out that I'm not, I'll be sad
I try to quiet the thoughts in the night
Oh, they got me thinking I'd be happier just drinking
It's not true

I got a bad disease
I got a bad disease
It's got me down on my knees
I got a bad disease
Will no one help me please?
Not even you?

Little bits and pieces fall into the corners
Box of broken leases, lined up in an order
I’ll do what you tell me, we can have it your way
I’ll tell you your future, you tell me your story

I’m going out with a bang (x3)

Smiles from the stranger seem to change your day when
You were just about to go and throw your towel in
Lately, I’ve been thinking about making changes
It’s been on my mind for some time and I’m anxious

I’m going out with a bang (x3)

Scowling like the sunshine set on Sarasota
Happy like a twister over Oklahoma
Clear as Penny Mason lying in a coma
This is how I feel when all my hurt is over

I’m going out with a bang (x3)

Meet me in the morning, wrap your arms around me
Tell me that it’s over now that you have found me
Walk me to the river, see the willow bowing
Carry me into the water, now we’re drowning

We’re going out with a bang (x3)
We’re gonna go home again

Met you in front of a diner and you had blue hair
You were so nice
You were from LA but you were all there
You were alright

So many people say that they have it together
But I think you’re a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather

Met you in front of a diner and you were so sweet
Made my heart beat, oh my, my, my, my, my
I met you with your mother and she had green shoes
She was so cool, it was fine, fine, fine, fine, fine

So many people say that they have it together
But I think you’re a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather, of a feather

You also take pictures and you gave me one
Of a nun who was playing the drums
She was crazy, her name was Katie
I think you’re so fun

So many people say that they have it together
But I think you’re a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather

You don’t think I’m that strange, you’re so weird
That’s cause you’re so queer, but who’s not these days?
You wear purple socks and you still like Purple Haze

So many people think that you have it together
But they don’t see you crying in the shower
But I can make you better

'Cause you make me better, yeah, you make me better
Yeah, you make me better

physicals coming soon 

I just consulted her recent IG captions for title clues and it's going to be called Happy Birthday Jenny 

You have a right to live your life
Like no one else does, like no one else might
If you have visions, come on and live them out

All you need is some peace while you are here
Just let go until you are home, dear.

I had a dream when I was young
I dreamt our lives were going to be fun
We were always waiting to live

All you need is some peace while you are here
Just let go of it all, dear

You have a choice to hear the noise
Or hear the sweet sound of your sweet voice.
I know I've heard it, I heard it in my sleep

All you need is some peace while you are here
Just let go, don't say no, dear

Wake up each night at the same time
Roll up the blind and look outside
And in the orange light, the fog is rising

This is life, this tonight, peace in the quiet
Happiness is the sky

My old man is a bad man
But I can't deny the way he holds my hand
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart
He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
He doesn't mind I have a L.A. crass way about me
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart

Swimming pool glimmering, darling
White bikini off with my red nail polish
Watch me in the swimming pool
Bright blue ripples
You sitting sipping on your black Cristal, yeah

Light of my life, fire in my loins
Be a good baby, do what I want
Light of my life, fire in my loins
Gimme them gold coins, gimme them coins

And I'm off to the races
Cases of Bacardi chasers
Chasin' me all over town
Cause he knows I'm wasted
Facing time again on Rikers Island
And I won't get out

Because I'm crazy, baby
I need you to come here and save me
I'm your little scarlet starlet
Singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth
Ready for you

My old man is a tough man
But he got a soul as sweet as blood red jam
And he shows me, he knows me
Every inch of my tar black soul
He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life
In fact he says he thinks it's what he might like about me
Admires me, the way I roll like a rolling stone

He likes to watch me in the glass room
Bathroom, Chateau Marmont
Slipping on my red dress, putting on my makeup
Glass room, perfume, cognac, lilac fumes
Says it feels like heaven to him

Light of his life, fire of his loins
Keep me forever, tell me you own me
Light of your life, fire of your loins
Tell me you want me, gimme them coins

And I'm off to the races
Cases of Bacardi chasers
Chasin' me all over town
Cause he knows I'm wasted
Facing time again on Rikers Island
And I won't get out

Because I'm crazy, baby
I need you to come here and save me
I'm your little scarlet starlet
Singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth

Yo, I'm off to the races, laces
Leather on my waist is tight
And I am falling down
I can see your face is shameless
Cipriani's Basement
Love you but I'm going down

God, I'm so crazy, baby
I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving
I'm your little harlot, starlet
Queen of Coney Island
Raising hell all over town
Sorry 'bout it!

My old man is a thief
And I'm gonna stay and pray with him 'till the end
But I trust in the decision of the Lord to watch over us
Take him when he may, if he may
I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him
Who else is gonna put up with me this way?
I need you, I breathe you, I'd never leave you
They would rue the day I was alone without you

You're lying with your gold chain on
Cigar hanging from your lips
I said, "Hon, you never looked so beautiful
As you do now, my man."

And we're off to the races, places
Ready, set the gate is down
And now we're going in
To Las Vegas, chaos
Casino Oasis
Honey, it is time to spin

Boy you're so crazy baby
I love you forever, not maybe
You are my one true love
You are my one true love

My old man is a bad man
But I can't deny the way he holds my hand
And he grabs me, he has me by my heart
He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past
He doesn't mind I have a L.A. crass way about me
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart

Swimming pool glimmering, darling
White bikini off with my red nail polish
Watch me in the swimming pool

Hi, this is my first time starting a topic (took me a good while to figure out how to share photos on here, haha), but I just wanted to share something I made recently: I got a myself a custom lyrics book printed for Ultraviolence as it has always bothered me that the official one doesn't include the full lyrics. I designed it using Photoshop and I know it's nothing fancy but I really enjoyed putting it all together and I'm pleased with how it has come out. (Want to add a quick thanks to everyone in the Resources thread for researching and sharing all the official fonts they could find. That thread was seriously so helpful! Oh, and the Lyrics thread, obviously very useful as well.)

I'm currently working on a second book for Honeymoon, using a lot more of my own photos this time. I've nearly finished it, just need to work a few more things out but I'll update this post when I'm done and it arrives.

Anyway, feel free to critique/tell me ways I can improve on any elements for next time, I know some of the black and white photos didn't print so well so I'm trying to avoid using those in the future. Really pleased I finally found a company that prints images on the spine though, so the spine matches the front cover.

 
 
 
 
 

 




Also here's a preview of one spread in the Honeymoon book (unfinished, I need to change the title colour and finish the transparency on the flower, etc.):
