What's the strangest song lyric you've ever heard?

[catbert836]

Here's mine:

"When all else fails, we can whip the horse's eyes
and make them sleep, and cry"

- The Soft Parade, by the Doors

I'm told that this lyric was written by Jim Morrison as a tribute to his idol, Frederich Nietzsche. There's an apocryphal tale that Nietzsche's psychotic break was caused by seeing a horse being whipped across the eyes. The Doors' drummer, John Densmore, was very weirded-out by this lyric as well.

Yours?

[RedStateShame]

1. The Clash, Lost in the Supermarket

"Long distance callers make long distance calls."

Um, OK?

After that, just about every other lyric Bob Pollard's written.

[Kashka-Kat]

19. one persons weird is anothers creative and meaningful

I always liked that song-

"and the silence makes me lonely"

[Texasgal]

2. This song has always freaked me out.

The lyrics I never understood.

Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin, the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground

[xmas74]

13. Weird lyrics

but I still love that song.

[Texasgal]

15. yeah, it's funny!

I've always like the song too... just could never figure out what the hell he was singing about! LOL!!

[kmla]

3. Anything by Culture Club.

Fer instance:

Downtown we'll drown
We're in our never splender
Flowers
Showers
Who's got the new boy gender

I'll be your baby
I'll be your score
I'll run the gun for you
And so much more

Chorus:
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 you

(chorus)

Uptown their sound
Is like the native
You send her
Junction
Function
The boy with pop is slender

Did he say maybe
Or I'mnot sure
He'll be a boy for you
But you need more

(chorus x2)

I get a crazy feeling
That chases in my head
It's nothing that you do to me
It's nothing that you said
It's love in stereo
And when I can't let go I say

I'll be your baby
I'll be your score
I'll run the gun for you
And so much more

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. The pompitous of love

Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitous of love

[swag]

5. From "Peaches" by the Stranglers.

"Is she tryin' to get outta that clitoris?"

[Giant Robot]

40. You rock!

Is happy someone else knows who the Stanglers are.

:yourock:

[swag]

41. I was hooked on hearing the organ ascent on "Something Better Change"

while pulling heavy duty bong hits in a friend's dorm room.

There are a lot of good Stranglers performances on youtube, by the way.

Cheerio.

[atomic-fly]

48. have you heard Norfolk Coast....awsome album.

I'm a huge Stranglers fan. They've been going since 1974 and
still rock.

6. Either Floyd or Mike Oldfield......

Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict (Waters) 5:01

Aye an' a bit of Mackeral settler rack and ruin
ran it doon by the haim, 'ma place
well I slapped me and I slapped it doon in the side
and I cried, cried, cried.

The fear a fallen down taken never back the raize and then Craig Marion,
get out wi' ye Claymore out mi pocket a' ran doon, doon the middin stain
picking the fiery horde that was fallen around ma feet.
Never he cried, never shall it ye get me alive
ye rotten hound of the burnie crew. Well I snatched fer the blade O my
Claymore cut and thrust and I fell doon before him round his feet.

Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall
but as dead, dead as 'a can be by his feet; de ya ken?

...and the wind cried Mary.

Thank you.

7. Anything by Ween or Captain Beefheart

Lyric from "I'm in the mood" off of the GodWeenSatan CD:

"Sonny fish lemon jelly ball and the jack and a meat wagon now..."

Lyric from "Sam" off of Bongo Fury by Zappa/Captain Beefheart:

"Sam with the showing scalp flat top particular about the point it made; Sam was a basket case. A high ivory dealer of saleable everyday pencils. I wish I had a pair of Bongos. Bongo Fury!"

[progmom]

44. I actually first heard Wesley Willis in 8th grade.

From my music teacher! We had a student teacher that played him for us in Music Appreciation.

[lpbk2713]

9. MacArthur Park is melting in the dark

All that sweet green icing flowing down

I don't think that I can take it

Cause it took so long to bake it

And I'll never have that recipe again, again.

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. It'd be a toss-up between

the entirety of "I Am The Walrus" and this:

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed, now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

[catbert836]

14. Robert Plant got annoyed when people tried to interpret that.

According to him, he just thought that line sounded good.

As for "I Am the Walrus", Lennon wrote it with the intention to let no one ever try to interpret it. After the Beatles finished recording it he allegedly said "let's see the f*ckers try and figure out that one."

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. I remember the Playboy interview

with Lennon and Yoko. They kept asking him "What does this lyric mean?" and he said stuff like "Nothing. It's just an old load of crap."

[Nevernose]

37. I understand the deeper meaning of "I Am the Walrus"

Or at least USED to understand. I can explain a few lines still (choking smokers/don't you think the/joker laughs at you is fairly self-explanatory, for instance).

The drugs have since worn off, however, and the lyrics have become a bit more obscured.

[Dolomite]

17. To poorly quote Jim Knipfel

in his book “Slackjaw”:

“Bend up and smell my anal vapors…” Tipper Gore pauses before reading the next line of a Mentors song, “Your face becomes my toilet paper.”

[tonekat]

18. Yes - Heart of the Sunrise. I like the song, but....

Love comes to you and you follow
Lose one on to the Heart of the Sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with its arms all around me

Lost on a wave and then after
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
SHARP-DISANCE
How can the wind with so many around me
Lost in the city

Complete that thought!

[av8rdave]

21. As much as I like Yes,

They do pretty much corner the market on bizarre lyrics.

[sendero]

32. Jon Anderson....

... was quite the space cadet for sure. I "understand" that song a lot more than say "Siberian Khatru" :)

[Kashka-Kat]

20. everybody heard about the bird, the bird bird bird bird is a word

AND so on...

in a weird voice. I heard that yrs ago on the radio as a young child and it scarred me for life.

[tigereye]

22. Robyn Hitchcock

bizarre and wondrous.

This one comes to mind, but he has many, many odd lyrics.

BRENDA'S IRON SLEDGE
We head downhill, my hands fly back
Our fingers freeze, our hair falls out, our hair falls out
Our fingers freeze, our hair falls out
The iron piston pumps and spouts
The steaming air as hot as sprouts
All aboard, Brenda's iron sledge
No one's on top, they're comfortable
They're sitting on a human chain, a human chain
They're sitting on a human chain
Their limbs compressed in icy slush
Of freezing in a raw meat groove
All aboard, Brenda's iron sledge
Please don't call me Reg, it's not my name
The body's rear, a bucking sled
Which hits a tree and falls asleep, and falls asleep
Which hits a tree and that is that
The grasshoppers curl up and burst
And Brenda shovels on the wurst
All aboard, Brenda's iron sledge
Please don't call me Reg, it's not my name

if I had to have a ringtone, it would be one of his songs. :D

[Kashka-Kat]

23. Ooooh Robyn! Luv his demented little universe!

[tigereye]

31. but demented in a sort of sweet, wriggly, underwater and buglike-

way! :rofl:

I try not to think too hard about why I love his music so much.

[atomic-fly]

52. the man does come up with some strange lyrics...

one of my favorite singers.

[Southsideirish]

24. "Strange as it seems, you can't treat a woman mean!" Nice, huh?

That's from "Treat Her Like a Lady" by the Cornelius Brothers. It has a great beat but obnoxious lyrics.

[catbert836]

26. Yikes!

:scared:

Kind of like "Under My Thumb" by the Stones... I love the instrumental, but the lyrics are beyond misognistic.

[Momgonepostal]

25. From Laurie Anderson's "Sharkey's Day"...

"The sun is coming up
like a big bald head
over the grocery store"

[Atlas Mugged]

27. 'Plants and birds and rocks and things'

Everytime I heard that lyric (?) I felt like I was hit by a 2X4.

Perhaps its more lame than strange.

I have to agree with the poster who mentioned that horrible Steven Miller song, too.

[Reciprocity]

28. T Rex's Bang a gong.

Well you're dirty and sweet, clad in black
Don't look back and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well you're slim and you're weak
You've got the teeth of a hydra upon you
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.

Chorus:
Get it on, bang the gong , get it on
Get it on, bang the gong, get it on

You're built like a car, you've got a hub cap diamond star halo
You're built like a car, oh yeah
You're an untamed youth that's the truth with your cloak full of eagles
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.

Repeat chorus

You're windy and wild, you've got the blues in your shoes and your
stockings
You're windy and wild, oh yeah
You're built like a car, you've got a hub cap diamond star halo
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.

Repeat chorus

You're dirty and sweet, clad in black, don't look back
And I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
You dance when you walk so let's dance, take a chance, understand me
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.

[datasuspect]

57. or try "jeepster"

from what i remember:

you're so sweet
you're so fine
i want your ordinary thing a just a to be mine

cuz your my baby
yes your my girl

ah girl i'm just a jeepster for your love

you slide so good
with bones so fair
you got the universe reclining in your hair

cuz your my baby
oh yes your my love

ah girl i'm just a jeepster for your love

just like a car
you're pleasing to behold
i call you jaguar if i may be so bold
(alternate - just like a car, you're so good, hmmmmm don't you know you're just like robin hood)

and so on.

can't remember the rest

or afghan woman by tyrannosaurus rex:

afghan woman deemed a princess
born a true blue thoroubred
hand chiseled face of fables
something something something

muses spread around your chamber
hoops entwined around your ears
blossoms of the old fables
blooms around the years

gazelle girls striding through your palace
precious jewels nestled in your hair


can't remember the rest



my favorite tyrannosaurus rex lyric:

i come from a time where the burning of trees was a crime
i lived by a tree where to be was a thing of new joy
my people were fair and sky in their hair
but now they're content to wear stars on their brow.

[DBoon]

29. Help I'm a Rock

Zappa/Mothers:

Help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock!
Ahahahahahahaaa
Help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock!
Somebody, please, please!
Help I'm a rock, help I'm a rock...
Wow man, it's a drag being a rock
Help I'm a rock...
I wish I was anything but a rock
Heck, I'd even like to be a policeman
Hey, you know what, you know maybe if I practised, you know
Maybe if I passed my driving test
I could get a gig drivin' that bus and pick some freaks up
In front of Ben Franks, right!

Help I'm a cop, help I'm a cop, help I'm a cop!
(Help I'm a rock...), help I'm a cop, help I'm a cop!
It's a drag being a cop, I think I'd rather be the mayor
Always wondered what I was gonna be when I grew up, you know
Always wondered whether or not, whether or not I could make it,
You know, in society, because,
You know, it's a drag when you're rejected
So I tore the cover off a book of matches and I sent in
And I got this letter back that said, UHU, AHA

It can't happen here
It can't happen here
I'm telling you, my dear
That it can't happen here
Because I been checkin' it out, baby
I checked it out a couple a times, hmmmmmmmm
And I'm telling you
It can't happen here
Oh darling, it's important that you believe me
(Bop bop bop bop)
That it can't happen here

Who could imagine that they would freak out somewhere in Kansas...
Kansas Kansas tototototodo
Kansas Kansas tototototodo
Kansas Kansas
Who could imagine that they would freak out in Minnesota...
Mimimimimimimi Minnesota, Minnesota, Minnesota
Who could imagine...

Who could imagine
That they would freak out in Washington, D.C.
D.C. D.C. D.C. D.C. D.C.
It can't happen here
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
It can't happen here
It can't happen here
Everybody's safe and it can't happen here
No freaks for us
It can't happen here
Everybody's clean and it can't happen here
No, no, it won't happen here
I'm telling you it can't
It won't happen here
(Bop bop didi bop didi bop bop bop)
Plastic folks, you know
It won't happen here
You're safe, mama
You're safe, baby
You just cook a TV dinner
And you make it
(Bop bop bop)
No no no no
Oh, we're gonna get a TV dinner and cook it up
Go get a TV dinner and cook it up
Cook it up
Oh, and it won't happen here
(No no no no no no no no no no no
Man you guys are really safe
Everything's cool).
Who could imagine
Who could imagine
That they would freak out in the suburbs!

I remember (tu-tu)
I remember (tu-tu)
I remember (tu-tu)
They had a swimming pool
I remember (tu-tu)
I remember (tu-tu)
They had a swimming pool
I remember (tu-tu)
I remember (tu-tu)
They had a swimming pool.
And they thought it couldn't happen here
(duh duh duh duh duh)
They knew it couldn't happen here
They were so sure it couldn't happen here
But...

Suzie...
Yes yes yes--I've always felt that
Yes I agree man, it really makes it...yeah...
It's a real THING, man
And it really makes it
(Makes it)

Suzie, you just got to town,
And we've been, we've been very interested
In your development.
Forget it!
Hmmmmmmmmm
(It can't happen here)

30. The Residents Laughing Song

An oily ole egg with a red peg leg
Thought a porcupine was his daughter
But he soon found out
That she had the gout
And often would wink underwater

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
HO HO HO HO HO HO HO
HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

A red red rose saw a big pig pose
On the edge of a silver dollar
The end of his tail
Was a long-necked nail
And in place of his face was a scholar

[sendero]

33. Brian Eno - Mother Whale Eyeless

This has always been a favorite of mine. I suppose I get the main theme, but there is sure a lot of stuff in there I don't get :)

Mother Whale Eyeless

I can think of nowhere
I would rather be
Reading morning papers
Drinking morning tea.
She clutches the tray
And then we talk just like a kitchen sink play
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Living so close to danger
Even your friends are strangers
Don't count upon their company.
Places for the fingers
Places for the nails
Hidden in the kitchen
Right behind the scales.
What do I care
I'm wasting fingers like I have them to spare
Plugging holes in the Zuider Zee
Punishing Paul for Peter
Don't ever trust those meters
What you believe is what you see.
In my town, there is a raincoat under a tree
In the sky there is a cloud containing the sea
In the sea there is a whale without any eyes
In the whale is a man without his raincoat.
In another country
With another name
Maybe things are different
Maybe they're the same.
Back on the train
The seven soldiers read the papers again
But the news it doesn't change
Swinging about through the creepers
Parachutes caught on steeples
Heroes are born
But heroes die.
Just a few days
A little practice and some holiday pay
We're all sure
You'll make the grade
Mother of God if you care
We're on a train to nowhere
Please put a cross upon our eyes
Take me I'm nearly ready you can take me
To the raincoat in the sky
Take me my little pastry mother take me
There's a pie shop in the sky.

Which is why one should NEVER NEVER NEVER drive Ventura Highway in a convertible.

[idgiehkt]

35. Tommy the Cat

the whole thing is strange, and then it isn't. I swear, he wrote this after an acid trip where his cat talked to him. I mean, the cat...it had to have really said this stuff, lol.

Tommy the Cat--Primus

"Well, I remember it as though it were a meal ago,"

Said Tommy the Cat, as he reeled back to clear whatever foreign
matter may have nestled its way into his mighty throat.
Many a fat alley rat had met its demise while staring point blank
down the cavernous barrel of this awesome prowling machine.
Truly a wonder of nature, this urban predator!
Tommy the Cat had many a story to tell
but it was a rare occasion such as this that he did:

"She came slidin’ down the alleyway like butter drippin’ off a hot biscuit.
The aroma, the mean scent, was enough to arouse suspicion in
even the oldest of the Tigers that hung around the hot spot in those days.
The sight was beyond belief!
Many a head snapped double, even triple, takes
as this vivacious feline made her way into the delta of the alleyway,
where the most virile of the young tabbys were known to hang out.
They hung out in droves.
Such a multitude of masculinity could only be found in one place,
and that was O’Malley’s Alley!

The air was thick with cat calls (no pun intended),
but not even a muscle in her neck did twitch
as she sauntered straight to the heart of the alleyway.
She knew what she wanted!
She was lookin’ for that stud bull.
She was lookin’ for that He cat.
And that was me.

Tommy the Cat is my name, and I say unto thee,

Say baby, do you wanna lay down with me?
Say baby, do you wanna lay down by my side?
Baby, do you wanna lay down with me?
Say baby
Say baby

[bridgit]

38. maybe not thee strangest but i like it = What I Am - Emma Bunton...

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

Choke me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or

Oh, I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what you are and

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

:-)

[Common Sense Party]

58. Emma Bunton? I thought that was Edie Brickell.

She married Paul SImon, didn't she?

[bridgit]

60. i think emma wrote it & edie covered it...

:shrug:

[Common Sense Party]

61. Oh really? I've never heard of emma. I'll have to look her up. nt

[Common Sense Party]

63. Backwards. Edie wrote & had a hit with it in the late 1980s.

Emma covered it recently. I didn't realize she was Baby Spice.

"What I Am", released on November 1, 1999, was a single by Tin Tin Out which features Emma Bunton. The song was originally written by Edie Brickell and Kenny Withrow and recorded by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians in 1989.

[bridgit]

39. almost forgot - Those little golden birdies look at them...

And the mystic Egypt tossle dangling down
Old sleeper-man shish, don't wake him
Up one hand broom star was an obi-man
revered throughout the bone-knob land
His magic black purse slit creeped open,
Let go flocks of them

Shish sookie singabus
Snored like a red merry-go-round horse
And an acid gold bar swirled up and down,
Up and down, in back of the singabus
And the panataloon duck white goose neck quacked
webcore, webcore

[Aristus]

42. Here's mine:

You always were the one that knew
They sold us for the likes of you
I always wanted new surroundings
A room to rent while
The lizards lay crying in the heat...

From David Bowie's "Rock And Roll With Me".

[realisticphish]

43. Bwa ha

Wow, where do I start. Rather than specific quotes, I point you toward all the works of both Frank Zappa and Les Claypool

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

45. First time I heard it, I thought she said "Mr. Ziggurat"

hello mr zebra
can i have your sweater
cause it's cold cold cold
in my hole hole hole
ratatouille strychnine
sometimes she's a friend of mine
with a gigantic whirlpool
that will blow your mind

hello mr zebra
ran into some confusion with a mrs crocodile
furry mussels marching on
she think's she's kaiser wilheim
or a civilised syllabub
to blow your mind
figure it out
she's a goodtime fella
she got a little fund to fight for moneypenny's rights
figure it out
she's a goodtime fella
too bad the burial was premature she said
and smiled

[Tikki]

47. This one.....

Ramones - Slug.... Lyrics

"Lying in bed one summer's night Everything wasn't alright
Something started crawling on me
A S-L-U-G

I saw her walking in the woods last night
And I knew something wasn't right
S-L-U-G

No no no no why'd she have to go-oh-oh-oh
No no no no why'd she have to go-oh-oh-oh

And I know that if I had her back today
Yeah I know (I know) I know (I know)
Why is it always this way?"


song lyrics repeated again.....



Tikki

[SteppingRazor]

50. Grateful Dead had lots of weird ones. For example:

"Dark Star"
Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes.
Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis.
Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion.
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter.
Glass hand dissolving to ice petal flowers revolving.
Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of good-bye.
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?


"China Cat Sunflower"
Look for a while at the china cat sunflower,
Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun.
Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono,
Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind.

Crazy cat peekin through a lace bandanna,
Like a one-eyed cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack.
A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle,
To a double-e waterfall over my back.

Comic book colors on a violin river cryin leonardo,
Words from out a silk trombone.
I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls,
In the eagle-winged palace of the queen chinee.



"The Eleven"
High green chilly winds and windy vines
In loops around the twisted shafts of lavender,
They're crawling to the sun.

Underfoot the ground is patched
With arms of ivy wrapped around the manzanita,
Stark and shiny in the breeze.

Wonder who will water all the children of the garden
When they sigh about the barren lack of rain and
Droop so hungry neath the sky.

William Tell has stretched his bow till it won't stretch
No furthermore and/or it may require a change that hasn't come before.

No more time to tell how, this is the season of what,
Now is the time of returning with our thought
Jewels polished and gleaming.
Now is the time past believing the child has relinquished the rein,
Now is the test of the boomerang tossed in the night of redeeming.

Seven faced marble eyed transitory dream doll,
Six proud walkers on the jingle bell rainbow,
Five men writing with fingers of gold,
Four men tracking down the great white sperm whale,
Three girls waiting in a foreign dominion
Riding in the whalebelly, fade away in moonlight,
Sink beneath the waters to the coral sands below.

51. Call Any Vegetable by Frank Zappa (lyrics below)

Call any vegetable
Call it by name
You've gotta call one today
When you get off the train
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
The vegetable will respond to you
La La La La
The vegetable will respond to you
La La La La

Call any vegetable
Pick up your phone
Think of a vegetable
Lonely at home
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
The vegetable will respond to you
La La La La
The vegetable will respond to you
La La La La
Rutabaga, Rutabaga, Rutabaga, Rutabaga, Rutaba...

No one will know
If you don't want to let them know
No one will know
'less it's you that might tell them so
Call and they'll come to you
Smiling and covered with dew
Vegetable dream
Vegetable dream
Vegetable dream of responding to you
Standing there shiny and proud by your side
Holding your joint while the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide
TO HIDE, TO HIDE, TO HIDE,...

Shooo, Shooo, Shoo, Shoo ....
You know a lot of people don't bother about there friends in the vegetable kingdom. They, they think: What can I say? Some times they think: Where can I go?
Where can I go to get my poodle clipped in Burbank?
At Ralph's vegetarian poodle clippin', where you can come this...
Where can I go to get organic vaseline for my ????
At Bob and Ray's swaheli restorant, where you can come this close.....
Where can I go to get my jeans embroided at Fullurton?.....
At jeans, at Jeans North where nothing fits
Where can I go to get my zipper repaired in Hollywood?
Who gives the fuck anyway
Where can I go to get my speakers fixed?
Where can I go to get my exit lights?,
At Jack LaLane Hamburgers on 312 Woodier(?) Boulavard.
Where can I go to get my stomach pumped?
Where can I go to colapse
Hey, De-due.

Questions, Questions, Questions, flooding into the mind of the concerned young person today. Ah, but it's a great time to be alive ladies and gentlemen. And that's the theme of our program for tonight, "It's so FUCKING GREAT to be alive"! Is what the theme of our show is tonight, boys and girls. And I'm wanna tell ya, if there is anybody here who DOESN'T believe that it is FUCKING GREAT to be alive, I wish that they go now, because this show will only bring them down so much... ]

God Bless America
Land that I love
Call any vegetable
Call it by name
You've gotta call one today
When you get off the train
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
Oh, that the vegetable will respond to you

And if you are a consenting adult we want you to call today in Los Angeles, the number is Richmond9-6935 , in Downey it's 347-8932.

Call it direct,

Lightning crashes, a new mother cries

SYD BARRETT
BABY LEMONADE


In the sad town
cold iron hands
clap the party of clowns outside
rain falls in gray far away
please, please, Baby Lemonade

In the evening sun going down
when the earth streams in, in the morning
send a cage through the post
make your name like a ghost
please, please, Baby Lemonade

I'm screaming, I met you this way
you're nice to me like ice
in the clock they sent through a washing machine
come around, make it soon, so alone...
please, please, Baby Lemonade

In the sad town
cold iron hands
clap the party of clowns outside
rain falls in gray far away
please, please, Baby Lemonade

In the evening sun going down
when the earth streams in, in the morning
send a cage through the post
make your name like a ghost
please, please, Baby Lemonade

62. Wish I was a Kellogg's Cornflake floatin in my bowl takin movies

Relaxin awhile, livin in style,
Talkin to a raisin who occasionally plays L.A.,
Casually glancing at his toupee.

Wish I was an English muffin
Bout to make the most out of a toaster.
I'd ease myself down,
Comin' up brown.

I prefer boysenberry
More than any ordinary jam.
I'm a "Citizens for Boysenberry Jam" fan.

Ah, South California.

If I become a first lieutenant
Would you put my photo on your piano?
To Maryjane,
Best wishes, Martin.
(Old Roger draft-dodger
Leavin' by the basement door),
Everybody knows what he's
Tippy-toeing down there for

65. The Pillows "Ride on Shooting Star"

Orange slide, the sky that it reflects
Sponge's pride, being dangled

[NNadir]

66. The sickest has to be this offering from John Lennon:

"Run for Your Life" from the Beatles.

Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl
than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
or I won't know where I am

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl

Well I know that I'm a wicked guy
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can't spend my whole life
trying just to make you toe the line

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl

Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby, I'm determined
And I'd rather see you dead

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl

I'd rather see you dead, little girl
than to be with another man
You better keep your head, little girl
of I won't know where I am

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end'a little girl
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na, na

It's a violent thug threatening a woman. It's really disgusting.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

67. Bloodrock's DOA?

D.O.A
Bloodrock
Bloodrock 2

Laying here looking at the ceiling
Someone lays a sheet across my chest
Something warm is flowing down my fingers
Pain is flowing all through my back

I try to move my arms and there's no feeling
And when I look I see there's nothing there
The face beside me stopped it totally bleeding
The girl I knew has such a distant stare

I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air

Then I looked straight at the attendant
His face is pale as it can be
He bends and whispers something softly
He says there's no chance for me

I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air

Life is flowing out my body
Pain is flowing out with my blood
The sheets are red and moist where I'm lying
God in Heaven, teach me how to die

I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air
I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air
