I think he must have! Anyway...

 

The Stone Roses-'Shoot You Down'

 

You know it

You show it

And the time has come

To shoot you down

What a sound

 

When the day is done

And it all works out

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

 

You know it

You show it

And the time has come

To shoot you down

What a sound

 

When the day is done

And it all works out

 

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

 

I never wanted

The love that you showed me

It started to choke me

And how I wish I'd said

No too slow

I couldn't take

That too fast

 

I want you to know

 

You know it

You show it

But I can't back down

It's far too late

I can't wait

Now the time has come

It'll all work out

And when this

Thing is done

It'll leave no doubt

 

So when you've

Had your fun

Will you all walk out?

 

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

I'd love to do it and you know you've always had it coming

They Say Vision

 

I wanna try that pill that people take

Make you believe all the things that people say

Sick of shuckin' 'round with a screwed up face

With my heels dug in trying to leave a trace

Now come on put me down somehow

How you lose your faith

(just take my hand and lead me where you wanna)

 

Pay no more mind to what you think you've seen

It's as they do only

Say what they say

'Cause there's only one way

They-Say Vision

It takes you back to just where you want

Like when you ain't know no way

 

Pay no more mind to what you think you've seen

It's as they do only

Say what they say

'Cause there's only one way

They-Say Vision

It takes you back to just where you want

Like when you ain't know no way

 

Industry's down think I've died and I've flown away

So so long to them thieves who came and took all the things to say

I play the joker sometimes but then those moments slide back my way

'Cause for real I'd give my soul away

Give it all away

(so take my hand and lead me where you wanna)

 

Pay no more mind to what you think you've seen

It's as they do only

Say what they say

'Cause there's only one way

They-Say Vision

It takes you back to just where you want

Like when you ain't know no way

 

Pay no more mind to what you think you've seen

It's as they do only

Say what they say

'Cause there's only one way

They-Say Vision

It takes you back to just where you want

Like when you ain't know no way

 

I know where they all go find someplace

Where they don't mind loafing about the waste

 

They-Say Vision takes you back to where no conscience

Free from how you really see

 

And if you think that you know

Take the back road

They got you where they want

They got you

Check it out

What are you saying

What are you playing

Who are you obeying

day out day in?

Baby baby baby

That stuff is driving me crazy

DJs communicate to the masses

Sex and violent classes

Now our children grow up prisoners

All their lives radio listeners

You love her

But she loves him

And he loves somebody else

You just can win

 

And so it goes

Til the day you die

This thing they call love

It's gonna make you cry

 

I've have the blues

The reds and the pinks

One thing's for sure

Love stinks

 

Love stinks

Yeah yeah

Love stinks

Yeah yeah...

 

Two by two

and Side by side

Love's gonna find you, yes it is

You just can't hide

 

You'll hear the call

Your heart will fall

Then love will fly

It's gone, that's all

 

I don't care

For any casanova thing

All I can say is

Love stinks

 

Love stinks

Yeah yeah

Love stinks

Yeah yeah...

 

I've been through diamonds

I've been through minks

I've been through it all

Love stinks

    - J Geils Band, Love Stinks

 

If there was ever a song that got it more right than that, I'd like to hear it.

I think we've gone long enough without any Frank Zappa songs, so here's my favorite one:

 

Hey there, people, I'm Bobby Brown

They say I'm the cutest boy in town

My car is fast, my teeth are shiney

I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie

Here I am at a famous school

I'm dressin' sharp

I'm actin' cool

I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper

Let her do all the work 'n' maybe later I'll rape her

 

Oh God I am the American dream

I do not think I'm too extreme

An' I'm a handsome sonofabitch

I'm gonna get a good job 'n' be real rich

Get a good, get a good, get a good, get a good job...

 

Women's Liberation

Came creepin' all across the nation

I tell you people, I was not ready

When I fucked this dyke by the name of Freddie

She made a little speech then,

Aw, she tried to make me say when

She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick

I guess it's still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick

 

Oh God I am the American dream,

But now I smell like Vaseline

An' I'm a miserable sonofabitch

Am I a boy or a lady...I don't know which

I wonder...wonder...

 

So I went out 'n' bought me a leisure suit

I jingle my change, but I'm still kinda cute

Got a job doin' radio promo

An' none of the jocks can even tell I'm a homo

Eventually me 'n' a friend

Sorta drifted along into S&M

I can take about an hour on the tower of power

'Long as I gets a little golden shower

 

Oh God I am the American Dream

With a spindle up my butt till it makes me scream

An' I'll do anything to get ahead

I'll lay awake nights saying "Thank you, Fred"

 

Oh God, Oh God, I'm so fantastic!

Thanks to Freddie, I'm a sexual spastic

And my name is Bobby Brown

Watch me now, I'm going down

And my name is Bobby Brown

Watch me now, I'm going down

And my name is Bobby Brown

Watch me now, I'm going down

    - Frank Zappa, Bown Brown Goes Down

"This is not the call of the wild (s.o.s., s.o.s.)

From when I laid it down on the line (s.o.s., s.o.s.)

This is not a loan

When I lay my head on the pillow (s.o.s., s.o.s.)

 

Before reasoning

A cure for doubt began

But my bad leg

And broken parts

Settle in

S.O.S. my head on the pillow

 

Back me up to find my problem (s.o.s., s.o.s.)

Cover tracks so no one can follow (s.o.s., s.o.s.)

This is not a flare

This is not a candle

When I throw myself myself out of the window (s.o.s., s.o.s.)

But my bad leg

And broken parts

Settle in

"Are you ready to obey the cowgod?

We live in a country, we can't eat meat

Obey the cowgod

We live in a country, where there is no, there's no Burger Kings

Obey the cowgod

We live in a country, where there is no, there's no McDonalds

Obey the cowgod

 

Ah dopey, dopey, dopey, dopey

I'm a cow, and I'm gonna roam through your village

And I'm gonna eat all of your food

But you don't care, because I'm a, I'm a sacred cow

Obey the cowgod

 

We live in a country, where there is no, there's no Beefcake The Mighty

Obey the cowgod

We live in a country, where there is no, there's no beef-by products

Obey the cowgod

 

You, on your knees

You, get on your knees

Where's those two boneheads?

Get on your knees

Hands behind your heads

And on your knees

You, on your knees

You, get on your knees

I said, on your knees

Get on your knees and pray to the cowgod

 

Eat my burger, for it is my flesh

And drink my milk, for it is my blood

Obey the cowgod"

Monica and naughty Billy,

Got together something silly,

Holy wars out of lusty minutes,

Another Cuban cigar crisis,

Honestly! Do we need to know if he really came inside her mouth?

The last line is what makes those lyrics so funny. Kinda abstract then BOOM, reality. Hehe, good work Judge.

Makes your mother look obselete.

Tastes better than meat.

I don't buy it."

In celebration of my decision to learn to play guitar, here's "Anyone can play guitar" by radiohead.

 

 

Destiny, destiny protect me from the world.

Destiny, hold my hand, protect me from the world.

Here we are with our running and confusion,

and I don't see no confusion anywhere.

 

And if the world does turn and if London burns,

I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar.

I want to be in a band when I get to heaven,

anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing any more.

 

Grow my hair, grow my hair, I am Jim Morrison,

grow my hair, I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be Jim Morrison.

Here we are with our running and confusion,

and I don't see no confusion anywhere.

 

And if the world does turn and if London burns,

I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar.

I want to be in a band when I get to heaven,

anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing any more.

And now for somethin dark.

 

VAST - Dirty Hole

 

i saw the grave stones, i saw nine year old boys

somehow i knew they hated me

you an live as long as you want to live

 

lately all i want

is to be in your hole

 

sleep without her dream

as cold as it seems

it's my destiny

how many men have been

in your sacred hole? (how many dead men god?)

 

as i spread her thighs

my life flashes before my eyes

soothing

disturbing

i'm intoxicated with fear

 

how many men have died?

in your dirty hole

how many men lay dead?

from this killing hole

And finally....somethin political, i love this one.  Comes off the Godzilla soundtrack, oddly.

 

Rage Against the Machine - No Shelter

 

 

The main attraction - distraction

got ya number than nnumber than numb

Empty ya pockets son; they got you thinkin that

What ya need is what they sellin

Make you think that buyin is rebellin

From the theaters to malls on every shore

Tha thin line between entertainment and war

The frontline is everywhere, there be no shelter here

Speilberg the nightmare works so push it far

Amistad was a whip, the truth was feathered and tarred

Memory erased, burned and scarred

Trade in ya history for a VCR

 

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama

Fourth Reich culture - Americana

Chained to the dream they got ya searchin for

Tha thin line between entertainment and war

 

There be no shelter here

Tha frontline is everywhere

 

Hospitals not profit full

Yet market bulls got pockets full

To advertise some hip disguise

View tha world from American eyes

Tha poor adore keep fiendin for more

Tha thin line between entertainment and war

They fix the need, develop the taste

Buy their products or get laid to waste

Coca-Cola is back in the veins of Saigon

And Rambo too, he got a dope pair of Nikes on

And Godzilla pure muthafuckin filler

To keep ya eyes off the real killer

 

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama

Fourth Reich culture - Americana

Chained to the dream they got ya searchin for

Tha thin line between entertainment and war

 

American eyes, American eyes....

View the world from American eyes

Bury the past, rob us blind

And leave nothin behind

 

Just stare

Relive the nightmare

You know I couldn't hold out too long without some smashing pumpkins....

 

boredoms in the bathroom shaking out the loose teeth

sally's in the stirrups claiming her destiny

and nobody nowhere understands anything

about me and all my dreams

lost at sea

jack it up judy set your heart alight

mayfair mistress of the satellies

misspent youth- faking up a rampage

to hold off the real slaves

paid off and staid

and what you never knew

can never get to you

so fake it

i'll be your stubmleine

i'll be your super queen

and make you

jukebox fuckup hanging round the drugstore

no matter what you say he'll be back for more

mommy's in the manger with the little kids

she's got her reasons, got my forgets

of tears and idle threats

misplaced

and no matter what they do

they can't get to you

so fake it

i'll be your stumbleine

i'll be your super queen

and make you me

come around ruby i could never sleep alone

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,

a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,

joyfully, playfully watching me.

But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,

logical, responsible, practical.

And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,

clinical, intellectual, cynical.

 

There are times when all the world's asleep,

the questions run too deep

for such a simple man.

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned

I know it sounds absurd

but please tell me who I am.

 

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,

liberal, fanatical, criminal.

Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're

acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!

 

At night, when all the world's asleep,

the questions run so deep

for such a simple man.

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned

I know it sounds absurd

but please tell me who I am.

A few lines from the greatest lyrical bard to grace the musical world,

 

"I'm not like them, but I can pretend

The sun is gone, but I have a light

The day is dones but I'm having fun

I think I'm dumb or maybe just happy

I think I'm just happy"

          - Nirvana (Dumb)

 

Masterful I think you'll agree.  :D

I don't know about that. I mean, Nirvana lyrics are good, but the best? How can that compare to S&G's Sounds of Silences, the Beatles' Happiness is a Warm Gun, Pink Floyd's Time, the Doors' The End, Bob Dylan's Subterrean Homesick Blues, or Yes's I've Seen All Good People? Not even in the same league.

 

Anyway:

 

For a price I'd do about anything

Except pull the trigger

For that I'd need a pretty good cause

Then I heard of Dr. X

The man with the cure

Just watch the television

Yeah, you'll see there's something going on

 

Got no love for politicians

Or that crazy scene in D.C.

It's just a power mad town

But the time is ripe for changes

There's a growing feeling

That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

 

I used to trust the media

To tell me the truth, tell us the truth

But now I've seen the payoffs

Everywhere I look

Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

 

Revolution calling

Revolution calling

Revolution calling you

[There's a] Revolution calling

Revolution calling

Gotta make a change

Gotta push, gotta push it on through

 

I'm tired of all this bullshit

They keep selling me on T.V.

About the communist plan

And all the shady preachers

Begging for my cash

Swiss bank accounts while giving their

Secretaries the slam

 

They're all in Penthouse now

Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell

I guess Warhol wasn't wrong

Fame fifteen minutes long

Everyone's using everybody, making the sale

 

I used to think

That only America's way, way was right

But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives

Gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies

 

Revolution calling

Revolution calling

Revolution calling you

[There's a] Revolution calling

Revolution calling

Gotta make a change

Gotta push, gotta push it on through

 

I used to trust the media

To tell me the truth, tell us the truth

But now I've seen the payoffs

Everywhere I look

Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

 

Revolution calling

Revolution calling

Revolution calling you

[There's a] Revolution calling

Revolution calling

Gotta make a change

Gotta push, gotta push it on through
