the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise control
Baby's in Reno with the vitamin D
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat
Someone came in sayin' I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park
Yo, cut it
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Double-barrel buckshot)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
Forces of evil in a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
'Cause one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag
One's on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey-neck and it's hanging from a pigeon wing
You can't write if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax falling on a termite
That's choking on the splinters
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Get crazy with the cheeze whiz)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Drive-by body pierce)
Yo, bring it on down
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
(I can't believe you)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Sprechen Sie deutsch, baby?)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Know what I'm sayin'?)

Well, Dang. In my day, it was evil to play Beatles songs backwards. I caught a Beck concert on Austin City Limits about a year ago and kinda enjoyed it. Had never heard of him and thought he was new till I recently learned better. But, I could never make out all these lyrics, outside of a pretty good beat.

Well sometimes I go out by myself
and I look across the water
and I think of all the things of what your doing
my head I paint a picture

Since I've come home'
Well my body's been a mess
and I miss your ginger hair
and the way you like to dress

Oh won't you come on over?
stop making a fool out of me
why don't you come on over Valerie?

Valerie

We've taken care of everything
The words you read
The songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It's one for all and all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our walls
Look around, this world we've made
Equality, our stock in trade
Come and join the brotherhood of man
Oh, what a nice contended world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our walls

Mama told me when I was young
"Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day"

"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"

"And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

"I might be better off alone
I hate you blowing up phone
I wish I'd never met your ass
Sometime it be like that"

I got a piece of land out in the country side,
Lay back and smell the sun warm up the Tennessee pride.
Been so good to me, takin' it easy.
Why would I ever leave? Cause I know,
I got some good friends that live down the street,
Got a good lookin' woman with her arms 'round me,
Live in a small town where it feels like home,
I've got everything I need, and nothin' that I don't.

Too old to like this new artist as much as I do. Kudos for for Beck nod earlier. I love that guy.

Soaked up in my brain
For another day these things I'm tryna say
Get drenched and swept away, that's the truth
Soaked up in my brain
Don't know what to say, something about you boy
You soak up half my brain, yes you do
Something about you boy
You soak up half my brain
You look at me like I hit you
Stole all your things then left you bruised
Look what I've got myself into
My words are stuck, my body too

You drove your rolls into the swamp
You stole away like a thief, reeling from the sticker shock
Of the price they put upon your soul
You buy it back from the burning ashes of the devil you know
Dear life, I'm holding on
Dear life, I'm holding on, ah ah ah
How long must I wait
Before the thrill is gone? ah ah ah
Dear life, come and pick me up

I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me, singin'
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
Ow
He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"That don't matter", he said, "'cause it's all the same"
I said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah, me
Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah, me singin'

Night after night, day after day, it went on and on
Then came that morning he woke up alone

Poor Bob

We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you
Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand, I remember you
Through the sleepless nights through every endless day
I'd want to hear you say, I remember you

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and he worked his fingers to the bone
Just barely out of school, he
came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, oh no
He had no money, no, no good at home
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it's 18 and life, you got it.

Lord, I hope this day is good.
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood.
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should,
But Lord I hope this day is good.

Lord, have you forgotten me?
I've been prayin' to You faithfully.
I'm not sayin' I'm a righteous man,
But Lord I hope You understand.

I don't need fortune and I don't need fame.
Send down the thunder, Lord, send down the rain.
But when You're plannin' just how it will be,
Plan a good day for me.

Lord, I hope this day is good.
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood.
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should,
But Lord I hope this day is good.

Hey, Porter, Hey Porter!
Would You Tell Me The Time?
How Much Longer Will It Be
'Til We Cross That Mason Dixon Line?
At Daylight Will You Tell That Engineer To Slow It Down;
Or Better Still, Just Stop The Train
'Cause I Want To Look Around.
Hey, Porter! Hey Porter!
What Time Did You Say?
How Much Longer Will It Be
'Till I Can See The Light Of Day?
When We Hit Dixie Will You Tell That Engineer To Ring His Bell;
And Ask Everybody That Ain't Asleep To Stand Right Up And Yell.
Hey, Porter! Hey Porter!
It's Getting Light Outside.
This Old Train Is Puffin' Smoke And I Have To Strain My Eyes.
But Ask That Engineer If He Will Blow His Whistle Please,
'Cause I Smell Frost On Cotton Leaves,
And I Smell That Southern Breeze.
Hey, Porter! Hey, Porter!
Please Get My Bags For Me,
I Need Nobody To Tell Me Now That We're In Tennessee.
Go Tell That Engineer To Make That Lonesome Whistle Scream.
We're Not So Far From Home So Take It Easy On The Steam.
Hey Porter! Hey Porter!
Please Open Up My Door.
When They Stop This Train I'm Gonna Get Off First
'Cause I Can't Wait No More.
Tell That Engineer I Say, Thanks A Lot. I Didn't Mind The Fare.
I'm Gonna Set My Feet On Southern Soil
And Breathe That Southern Air.
