The best part is the "LOOK OUT" right before the guitar solo. I've always been of the opinion that "GUITAR!" is the coolest thing one could possibly blurt to announce a solo, but you've spun my head right around.

LOOK OUT!
 
 
Matthew Fluxington
23:00 / 27.06.04
See, you're not so much looking out for the solo, as you are looking out for her thonged ass. The solo expresses things that words cannot. Only hot licks and riffs can capture the beauty of her sweeeeeet behind.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:18 / 27.06.04
I can't even think of anything to say, but I want to be on record as saying something just to register my delight.

"Sex Cot"

I can't believe
what I heard today
you're going out with him
it's like a punch in the face

no more metaphors
I gotta say what I mean

so tell me, girl
what has he got
that I have not?
besides a magical purple velour-coated sex cot?
sex cot!
oh oh oh
sex cot!
oh no

what does it mean
when you tell me
that you think of me a friend?
that makes no sense, lady
because a friend is there until the end

but no more word games
I gotta say what I mean

so tell me, baby
what has he got
that I have not
besides a magical purple velour-coated sex cot?
sex cot!
ohhhh ohhhh
sex cot!
oh oh, oh ohhhhhhhhhh

I'm just a normal guy
with typical urges
from an ordinary clan

not a spoiled bastard
with a mystical cot
given to him by his wizard dad

oh, now I got it really bad
and what'chu thinking about that?

a penny for your thoughts
a dollar for your mind
let me look into it
what will I find?

but no more allegory,
I gotta say what I mean

so tell me, baby
what has he got
that I have not
besides a magical purple velour-coated sex cot?
sex cot!
ohhhh ohhhh
sex cot!
ohhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhh

Mike Robot's Victory March

Yo, I got lyrical robots, coming out of my nose snots,
And some hysterical yo glock, slummin routes of my growth rot,

I'm gonna eat your doodoo-berry sandwich,
Ain't gonna eat your doodoo-berry sandwich,
I'm gonna eat your doodoo-berry sandwich,
Ain't gonna eat your doodoo-berry sandwich

Nimrod rules you bastards,
No one's fucking faster,
Nimrod rules you fuckers,
Lots of Nimrod clusters!

Nimrod Clusters Motherfuckers!!(sandwich-oh-oh)
Nimrod rules Colossus!! (doodoo-berry good)
Nimrod rules you spiders!! (sandwich-oh-oh)
Nimrod eats your Elvis!!(sandwich-oh-oh)

DOUBLE YELLOW LINES - YOU CAN'T PARK THERE!

(big rock riff)

I see you park (DOUBLE YELLOW LINES)
You can't park there
It's not fair, sucka
You raise my hair
As well as my hackles
I got the right mind, to give you smackles
Don't think that's an early morning cartoon, or a breakfast cereal
This is real-ly yo,
Look son, you better respect the right and rules of the road safety gang
Else you'll be driving in Uz-bek-i-stan
Suckah! (fade vocal to chorus)

DOUBLE YELLOW LINES - YOU CAN'T PARK THERE!
YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT


(Kazoo solo)

YOU CANNOT PARK THERE - IT'S NOT ALLOWED!
I'LL NEVER LET YOU PARK ON MY DOUBLE YELLOW LINES


Third world countries
don't got these problems
driving in ditches and dirt tracks
not expensive!
But when you here
In this beautiful modern world
You better learn to respect the safety and the rules,


Better learn your highway code
H to the I to the G to the H
H-I
G-I!
Not like in the army
Talkin bout your cars, chump!
Don't go too fast over that hump!
H I G H
code to live your life by
Not like drugs, bitches and thugs
NO! Don't get tricked

(Xylophone + drum stutters)

Saw my mate, parked double yellow lines anee
got a ticket, missed the place in the queue he waited for! Got real mad, ee's a twat, shouldn't a done that, I said, ya shouln't a done that, I said
He didn't like that, not one bit, but I stuck to my guns of the road safety rules
"You gotta think about,
what you're doing,
you could get a shoeing
acting like this in other lesser road worthy countries of the world"

(Solo goes volume up up UP and... ROCK RIFF!)

DOUBLE YELLOW LINES, YOU CAN'T PARK THERE!

You can't park there, son
It's not your place
I see you park and I spray you with MACE
What are ya doin?
Don't neglect ya intellect yeah
Don't destroy our modern societyeee
You and all ya homies really tryin me
Well you better STOP
Cos my names Roger
Some people call me a dodger
But that ain't true,
And I ain't jammy,
I never saw the video of Tommy and Pammy,
I'm a FUCKING pirate of the great seven seas with a parrot on my shoulder
Pretty Polly drop a boulder
On your mother fucking car
HAR HAR HAR
and a bottle of rum, we look at you like scum
And you are
Twat


DOUBLE YELLOW LINES - YOU CAN'T PARK THERE!

You guys are all so creative and talented. I'm really proud of you! Keep it up, this is the best festival ever.

I wrote this on the commuter train this morning:

You're a precious stone
You're out on your own
You know everyone in the world
But you feel alone
Daddy won't let you weep
Daddy won't let you ache
Daddy gives you as much as you can take
A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car

A little uptight
You're a baby's fist
Butterfly kisses up and down your wrist
When you see daddy coming
You're licking your lip
Nails bitten down to the quick
A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car

You've got a head full of traffic
You're a siren's song
You cry for mama
And daddy's right along
He gives you the keys to a flamin' car
Daddy's with you wherever you are
Daddy's a comfort
Daddy's your best friend
Daddy'll hold your hand right up to the end
A-ha sha-la, a-ha sha-la
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car

That's one of my favorite U2 songs, Qalyn!

What's your game, buddy?

02:39 / 30.06.04
I'm never posting anything again. I want to cry.

I just spent an hour composing the most moving song you would have ever known. Then I did something stupid. I don't know what. And I lost the whole song. I want to die.
 
 
The Apple-Picker
03:07 / 30.06.04
No. I want to live.

But the spirits must think that this song would really offend someone. I just spent a half hour meticulously recreating my masterpiece, only to have it blip away in a runtime error when I tried to save it to my hard drive.

Out here in the fields
I pick apples from my beard
I bake pies for a living
If you have a food fight
Look to the right
I don't need to eat them

Though heat waves rarely are given adequate attention, they claim more lives each year than floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes combined. Heat waves are a silent killer, mostly affecting the elderly, the very young, or the chronically ill.

Fashionista

my baby is a fashionista
but Vivienne Westwood she ain’t
she sits at her drawing board all day
by night she sprays my clothes with red paint

her designs adorn local charity shops
earn top dollar at the boot sale and fete
but I can’t even get to the washing machine
the house is in a terrible state

“but darling”, she says so mellifluously
in that Patsy and Edina voice
caressing my weak chromosome she declaims
“you’d think I was a genius by choice”

million times worse when her friends come round
Claudia, Alicia and Babs
when they’re done discarding materials
they don’t realise a month has elapsed

so maybe I’m just over-reacting
to symptoms of her nobler pursuits
but then she makes me try her clothes on
galoshes and fake camel hair boots

then it’s tuxedos and male bikinis
the catwalk’s getting too much to take
I know I’m supposed to be in love with my baby
but I’m not a model, for Christ’s sake


Um ... it's better with the music!

Sax, do you have an mp3 of Mister Fantastic? It's like a lyrical massage.

Now that summer is over, I will announce a winner. The winner is Bono, for Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car, who gets his wish which is to make out with me.

La Recogedor de las Manzanas gets 2nd place, which is to have her username translated into Espanol, for her song, which she sang to me even though she never managed to post it.

El Canto de las Manzanas, by Bio K9, gets 3nd place, which is a good firm handshake.
