Track 3 - Baby Face.

It bears repeating...

And then the dog met the cat
The dog was hot and the cat was wet
Then came some sweaty dude
He put a board between the two
Then they couldn't get at it
Got frustrated all about it
So they did the only thing you could do
They took the dude's sweat and shot it up between the two
And they said

Ooohhh-wow, bow-wow
Ooohhh-wow, bow, me, wow

He's relying on the band to prop up his conspicuous ennui.

They're doing a good job though.

The stock is empty
In our eyeball store
All we got left
A few cataracts and sores
The faggot mimic machine
Never had ideas
Mission impossible
They self destruct on fear

On a standard New York night
Ghouls go to see their so called stars
A fairly stupid thing
To pay 5 bucks for a 4th rate imitators

They say, I'm so empty
No surface, no depth
Oh, please, can I be you
Your personality's so great
Like new buildings
Square tall and the same
Sorry, Miss Stupid
Didn't you know it was a game
I'm just waiting
For them to hurry up and die
It's really getting too crowded here
Help me New York stars

Contributions accepted all the same
We need new people store
Remember, we're very good at games

The sense of jaded loathing is replete.

Guitar solo.

Hints of Sympathy for the Devil.

I think this is thematically quite personal.

by Nightjar Mon Jun 29, 2020 8:47 pm

Great soaring keyboards and reverby guitars.

Sally can't Dance or Billy Don't Be a Hero (or vice-versa I suppose)?
