Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes

Gonna warm my bones

Gonna warm my bones

I got silence on my radio

Let the air waves flow

Let the air waves flow

:wacko:

twitchy lady, so lovely with your short hair

Brendan Benson - Crosseyed

And in the streets: the children screamed,

The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.

But not a word was spoken;

The church bells all were broken.

And the three men I admire most:

The father, son, and the holy ghost,

They caught the last train for the coast

The day the music died.

 

That song is full of them. We could have another thread and argue about everyone that is referred to in that song, cause Don McLean aint talking.

I'm ahead. I'm a man.

I'm the first mammal to wear pants.

I am at peace with my lust.

I can kill cause in god I trust.

It's evolution baby.

 

I'm a piece of the man.

I buy stocks on the day of the crash.

On the loose. I'm a truck.

All the rolling hills I'll flatten 'em out.

It's herd behavior. Uh huh.

It's evolution baby.

 

Admire me, admire my home, admire my son, he's my clone.

This land is mine, this land is free, I'll do what I want, yet irresponsibly.

It's evolution baby.

 

I'm a thief. I'm a liar.

There's my church I sing in the choir.

Hall-le-lu-jah.

 

Admire me, admire my home, admire my song, admire my clothes.

Consider, appetite for nightly feasts.

Those ignorant Indians got nothing on me.

Nothing. Why? Because, it's evolution baby.

 

I am ahead, I am advanced, I am the first mammal to make plans.

I crawled the earth, but now I'm higher.

2010 watch it go to fire.

 

It's evolution baby.

I do the evolution.

Oh it's a mystery to me.

We have a greed, with which we have agreed...

and you think you have to want more than you need...

until you have it all, you won't be free.

 

Society, you're a crazy breed.

I hope you're not lonely, without me.

 

When you want more than you have, you think you need...

and when you think more then you want, your thoughts begin to bleed.

I think I need to find a bigger place...

cause when you have more than you think, you need more space.

 

Society, you're a crazy breed.

I hope you're not lonely, without me.

Society, crazy indeed...

I hope you're not lonely, without me.

 

There's those thinkin' more or less, less is more,

but if less is more, how you keepin' score?

It means for every point you make, your level drops.

Kinda like you're startin' from the top...

and you can't do that.

 

Society, you're a crazy breed.

I hope you're not lonely, without me.

Society, crazy indeed...

I hope you're not lonely, without me

Society, have mercy on me.

I hope you're not angry, if I disagree.

Society, crazy indeed.

I hope you're not lonely...

without me.

'Daddy's Cup' by DBT

 

It ain't about the money or even being #1

You gotta know when it's all over you did the best you could've done

Knowing that it's in you and you never let it out

Is worse than blowing any engine or any wreck you'll ever have

You'll work harder with a gun in your back

For a bowl of rice a day

Slave for soldiers till you starve

And your head is skewered on a stake

 

Holidays in Cambodia - Dead Kennedys

 

and the wonderfully vicious:

 

Now it is 1984

Knock-knock at your front door

It's the suede/denim secret police

They have come for your uncool niece

 

Come quietly to the camp

You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp

Don't you worry, it's only a shower

For your clothes here's a pretty flower.

 

DIE on organic poison gas

Serpent's egg's already hatched

You will croak, you little clown

When you mess with President Brown

When you mess with President Brown

 

California Uber Alles!

I ordered a scotch as I bust through them doors

Spilled half on my jeans

The other half on the floor

When I saw you

Standing by that video game

 

Well, I ain’t very good

But I get practice by myself

Forgot my one line

So I just said what I felt

 

If only you were lonely,

If only you was lonely too,

If only you was lonely

I’d go home with you

"A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." U2

 

 

that's gloria steinem, or some other old crusty dyke feminist.

 

 

Yeah, I know. Irina Dunn, 1970, although Steinam gets credit for it. I always thought it was funny Bono would use it.

Dr Hook - "The Millionarie"

 

I'm not a bad person

I don't drink, and I don't kill

I got no evil habits, and I probly never will

I don't sing like Elvis Presley

I don't dance like Fred Astaire

But there's one thing in my favor - I'm a millionaire!

 

Chorus

 

And I got more money

Than a horse has hair

'Cause my rich old uncle died

And answered all my prayers

But havin all this money

Is gonna bring me down

If you ain't with me honey

To help me spread it around

 

I could get myself a nose job

I could diet for a year

But I'll never be Robert Redford

'Cause I'm much too fond of beer

Please don't misunderstand me

It's not love I'm trying to buy

It's just I got all this here money

And I'm a pretty ugly guy

I see a woman in the night

With a baby in her hand

Under an old street light

Near a garbage can

Now she puts the kid away,

and she's gone to get a hit

She hates her life,

and what she's done to it

There's one more kid

that will never go to school

Never get to fall in love,

never get to be cool.

 

Keep on rockin' in the free world,

Keep on rockin' in the free world

Keep on rockin' in the free world,

Keep on rockin' in the free world.
