February 15, 200818 yr Artist: Drive-By Truckers Album: Southern Rock Opera Song: The Southern Thing Lyric: Ain't about excuses or alibis Ain't about no cotton fields or cotton picking lies Ain't about the racists, a crying shame To the fucking rich man all poor people look the same Don't get me wrong It just ain't right May not look strong, but I ain't afraid to fight If you want to live another day Stay out the way of the southern thing Ain't about no hatred better raise a glass It's a little about some rebels but it ain't about the past Ain't about no foolish pride, Ain't about no flag Hate's the only thing that my truck would want to drag You think I'm dumb, maybe not too bright You wonder how I sleep at night Proud of the glory, stare down the shame Duality of the southern thing
February 15, 200818 yr Artist: Kris Kristofferson Song: Sunday Morning Coming Down. Album: What Love Can Do "Well I woke up Sunday morning, With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, So I had one more for dessert. Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes, And found my cleanest dirty shirt. An' I shaved my face and combed my hair, An' stumbled down the stairs to meet the day." Edited September 9, 201213 yr by swt61

March 21, 200818 yr Artist: The Disco Biscuits Song: Confrontation The confrontation was a necessary act. We traded in our lives but took a million back. And in the end, it seems I get what I deserve. But for one moment's time, I wish I had the nerve. Written by Marc after he was ousted from the band in late 99/early 2000, was an Electron song before he rejoined the band at the end of 2000. Weird time for those of us following them and then not so much without Marc as part of it.
March 24, 200818 yr Artist: Ween Album: White Pepper Song: She's Your Baby Janey came back from the stand, Smiling, With the writing of Kafka in hand, And a bunny in a can, Slipping and sliding, You feel yourself asking her, Why would you want me to try? Squeezing your wrist and she's pulling you closer, Down where the devils are dying with laughter, Then led to a place where there's no form of pleasure, She blows you a kiss from her lips...

April 11, 200818 yr Artist: Frank Zappa Album: Live in New York (and others) Song: I'm the Slime Lyrics: I am gross and perverted I'm obsessed 'n deranged I have existed for years But very little has changed I'm the tool of the Government And industry too For I am destined to rule And regulate you I may be vile and pernicious But you can't look away I make you think I'm delicious With the stuff that I say I'm the best you can get Have you guessed me yet? I'm the slime oozin' out From your TV set You will obey me while I lead you And eat the garbage that I feed you Until the day that we don't need you Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you Your mind is totally controlled It has been stuffed into my mold And you will do as you are told Until the rights to you are sold

April 12, 200818 yr "I've made a small fortune and you squandered it all You shamed me till I feel about one inch tall But I thought I loved you and I hoped you would change So I gritted my teeth and didn't complain. Now you come to me with a simple goodbye You tell me you're leaving but you won't tell me why Now we're here at the station and you're getting on And all I can think of is... thank God and Greyhound you're gone Thank God and Greyhound you're gone I didn't know how much longer I could go on Watching you take the respect out of me Watching you make a total wreck out of me That big diesel motor is playing my song Thank God and Greyhound you're gone. Thank God and Greyhound you're gone That load on my mind got lighter when you got on That shiny old bus is a beautiful sight With the black smoke rolling up around the taillight It may sound kind-a cruel but I've been silent too long Thank God and Greyhound you're gone. Thank God and Greyhound you're gone..."

April 17, 200818 yr Artist: Barnes and Barnes Album: Yeah: The Essential Barnes & Barnes Song: Fish Heads Lyrics: <REFRAIN> Fish heads fish heads roly poly fish heads Fish heads fish heads eat them up yum In the morning laughing happy fish heads In the evening floating in the soup Ask a fish head anything you want to They won't answer they can't talk I took a fish head out to see a movie Didn't have to pay to get it in They can't play baseball they don't wear sweaters They're not good dancers they don't play drums Roly poly fish heads are never seen drinking cappuccino at Italian restaurants with oriental women yeah I actually like Grace Slick's version that she performed on SNL.
