roll over, beethoven

Remember when I used to update every single day?

Yeah, that didn't last very long.

At least I update more than JS. It's the little things that keep me happy.

I feel like this will be a song post. That being said, here goes, schmoes.

Theme: SONGS ABOUT DRUGS THAT SEEM INNOCUOUS IF YOU DON:T PAY ATTENTION TO THE LYRICS

Sub-Theme: Songs about heroin used to sell ocean cruises, soda, and Disney movies.

The La's - There She Goes

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing thru' my brain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she blows
There she blows again
Pulsing thru' my vein
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes, there she goes again
She calls my name, pulls my train
No-one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains

Iggy Pop - Lust for Life

Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs
And the flesh machine
He's gonna do another strip tease.
Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I've bought the gimmick
about something called love
Yeah, something called love.
Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens.
Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before.
I have a lust for life
'Cause of a lust for life.
I'm worth a million in prizes
With my torture film
Drive a GTO
Wear a uniform all on a government loan.
I'm worth a million in prizes
Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk
No more beating my brains
No more beating my brains
With liquor and drugs
With liquor and drugs.
Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in my ear before
Well, I've a lust for life (lust for life)
'Cause of a lust for life (lust for life, oooo)
I got a lust for life (oooo)
Got a lust for life (oooo)
Oh, a lust for life (oooo)

Got a lust for life.
Well, I'm just a modern guy Of course,
I've had it in my ear before
Well, I've a lust for life
'Cause I've a lust for life.
Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs
And the flesh machine He's gonna do another strip tease.
Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick about something called love
Love, love, love
Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens.
Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before
And I've a lust for life (lust for life)

Cab Calloway - Kickin' The Gong Around

It was down in Chinatown,
All the cokies laid around,
Some were high and some were mighty low;
There were millions on the floor
When a knock came on the door,
And there stood old Smoky Joe.

He was sweatin', cold and pale,
He was lookin' for his frail,
He was broke and all his junk ran out;
Nobody made a sound,
As he stood and looked around,
And then you hear old Smoky shout:

Saying, "Tell me where is Minnie?
My poor Minnie!
Has she been here,
Kicking the gong around?"

"If you don't know Minnie,
She's tall and skinny,
She gets her pleasure
Kicking the gong around!"

[Scat chorus]

"Just tell her Smoky Joe
Was here and had to go."
And as he departed,
The curtains parted,
And there stood Minnie
Kicking the gong around!

Red Guitar - Loudon Wainwright III

Used to have a red guitar
'Till I smashed it one drunk night
Smashed in the classic form
As Peter Townshend might
Threw it in the fireplace
I left it there a while
Kate she started cryin when
She saw my sorry smile

Red guitar was made of wood
Could not take the heat
Red guitar it caught on fire
And the damage was complete
It burned until all that was left
Was six pegs and six strings
Kate she said, "You are a fool
You've done a foolish thing"

Placed the remains in the case
And I put the case away
Went to New York City
For a new guitar the next day
I bought myself a blonde guitar
I had it for three days
Some junkie stole my blonde guitar
God works in wonderous ways

That's a good one to go out on. Don't kill each other.
