A little odd ditty that somehow I've not forgotten. And please excuse the R rated theme; no intention to insult anyone.
"My dick is a harley
You kick it to start
The moment it speaks
The heavens will part"
Frank Zappa, the Mothers from their Live @ the Fillmore LP.
Incidently, I saw them play this live at a gig in Vermont. Frank mentioned that he was so happy to be in VT with normal people. As they just got busted on a porn charge while performing this in Miami. Times were pretty different then. |
But the thing that moved him most
And made him swear he'd never fail
If he made it to the White House
Think of all the chicks he'd nail
So he went into the Politics Game
Yes, he went into the politics game
Warren Beatty told him "looky"
You can get a lot of nookie
If you get into the politics game
-"The Ballad of Gary Hart" |
A star moves north, a star moves south, a star is born a star burns out, the only thing that stays the same is everything changes, everything changes. |

Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say

We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right

I'm only hanging on, to watch you go down, my love. U2 |
How about:
wang dang sweet poontang
The Nuge
but seriously my favorite
So you think you can tell
heaven from hell
blue skies and pain
can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail
a smile from a vail
do you think you can tell
Pink Floyd, Wish you were here |
The Houston sky was changeless
We galloped through bluebonnets
I was wrestling with an angel
You were working on a sonnet
You said, 'I believe the seraphim
Will gather up my pinto
And carry us away, Jim
Across the San Jacinto
My ride's here...'
Warren Zevon |
ecruz what is the Dave Matthews song title? |
Mejames, the title of the song and the CD is "Crash". Really a terrific CD. |
Yes...Crash. It's a great cd. Dave Matthews has so many great lines, but that one always sticks in my head. |
"Her skirt it swayed as the guitar played / her mouth was watery and wet" - Bob Dylan I DON'T BELIEVE YOU (SHE ACTS LIKE WE NEVER HAVE MET) |
"I Shot my mouth off and he showed me waht that hole was for"
The Prenders "Tattooed Love Boys":
I ran twenty doors
Around the house, black and blue
Between love boys
Tore my knees up getting tattooed
Cause I needed, to find out what the thing was for
Been reading, a man time came to explore.
I went apewire
Cause I thought, like I like it
Little tease, but I didn't mean it
But you mess with the goods doll, you gotta pay.
A good time was guaranteed for one and all
With tattoos, target practice in the hall
While waiting for their number to get called
While I, I, I found what the wait was about.
I was a good time
Yeah, I got pretty good
Changing tires, upstairs bro.
I shot my mouth off and he showed me what that hole was for.
Now I see you, all impressed and half-undressed,
You got paint stick, all over the scars, lumps and bumps
Tattooed love boys got you where I used to lay
But ha ha, too bad
You know what they say.
Stop sniffling
You're gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man
Oh, but the prestige and the glory
Another human interest story
You are that. |
"Seen a shootin star tonight, and I thought of you." (by the greatest songwriter ever) |
Each man has his price Bob And yours was pretty low

You've got to be trusted by people that you lie to
so when they turn their backs on you,
you'll get the chance to put the knife in.

From the same cd, try this one next time your in deep with your sweety:
"I could laugh Oh, but you could cry,
And I never knew just how high I was flying

"My second cousin, his name was Calloway,
He died when he'd barely turned two.
And it was peanut butter and jelly that did it,
The help, she didn't know what to do,
She just stood there and watched him turn blue."
Lyle Lovett - 'Family Reserve' |
Tori Amos - Precious Things.
"So you can make me cum, that doesn't make you Jesus" |
In these intolerant times, Dar Williams "The Christians and the Pagans" has special resonance for me. While I find the entire lyric quite moving, there is one line I particularly like. About mid-song, Williams describes a kitchen crisis during the holiday time reunion dinner between the Christian and Pagan branches of the same family.
"The magic's in the learning,
'cause now when Christians dine with Pagans,
only pumpkin pies are burning."
Would that it were. |
I suppose there's a bunch out of John Hiatt to share, including:
"I've seen my own ass in a double whiskey glass"
"Still you argue for your options and you angle for your case,
You wouldn't know a burning bush if it blew up in your face"
"One thing's true, you're gonna die for sure,
You can learn to live with love or without it,
But there ain't no cure,
There's just a slow turning - from the inside out". |
