Random Lyrics

Jeremy Bender was a man of leisure
Took his pleasure in the evening sun
Laid him down in a bed of roses
Finally decided to become a nun

Talked with his sister and spoke in a whisper
Threatened to fist her if she didn't come clean
Jumped on the mother, just like a brother
Asked one another if the other's a queen

Digging the sister, she was a mister
Shouldn't have kissed her but he couldn't say no
Wanted to leave her, couldn't believe her
So he picked up his suitcase and decided to go

Who knew there were lyrics? Ella Fitzgerald turned in a vocal version of this song on her newly released 1967 live album tipped here at MG as a new release of note.

The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys
Who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene
Which is the name of the game, watch a guy watch a dame
On any street in town
Up and down and over and across, romance is boss

Guys talk, girl talk, it happens everywhere
Eyes watch, girls walk with tender lovin' care
It's keepin' track of the pack, watching them watching back
That makes the world go 'round
What's that sound? Each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to watch girls by
 
I used to know everything about you
But today when I tried to point you out to one of my friends
I picked the wrong girl again
Don't see you in the crowd anymore
I think it's you, but I can't be sure
You're wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you
Wearing disguises

I don't think you want me to see you ever again
Just today I saw you dressed as a flower bed
Last week you had a wig on your head
Misdirecting traffic in the street
And your shoes were too big for your feet
You're wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you
Wearing disguises
 
This man is dangerous.
He just shed his load on your best party frock.
Before you enter the palace of wisdom
You have to decide are you ready to rock.
Mmmm, can you party with me?
Can you show me a good time?
Do you even know what one looks like?
And I don't need to hear your stories again.
Just get on the dance floor and show me what you're made of.
Just exactly are you made of?
Baby.
You're driving me crazy.
And do you really want to know,
just how come you turned out so dumb?
When the party is over will you come home with me?
 
Another can of worms, another stomach turns
Yeah, your ghetto burns, it's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
You got a stupid man, you got a Ku Klux Klan
Your funky battleplan, it's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
A sieg heil-in' squirt, you're an impotent jerk
Yeah, a fascist twerp, it's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
Black robe and swill, I believe Anita Hill
Judge will rot in hell, it's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
Yeah, a cross on fire by a christian liar
A black attack at fire, it's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
Yeah, the president sucks, he's a war pig fuck
His shit is out of luck, it's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
Another nazi attack, skinhead is cracked
My blood is black, it's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
We're banging pots and pans to make you understand
We gotta bury you, man, it's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
I'm a human wreck, a redneck in check
I killed the teacher's pet, it's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
 
I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I never come back to this town again
In my life, I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong
I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
I hope I never get sober
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
 
The yellow city clock
Separates all the blocks
North south and east from west
I watch it glow
Tomorrow I will be
An airplane in the sky
Looking down on this place
I romanticize

Reflections on glass
The bus and taxis pass
Tallest buildings
Parents and their kids
And all the things we did
Or wish that we did

The northwest coastal rain
The purple mountain range
Inside you start to change
You start to glow
Tomorrow I will find
A farmhouse close to here
With lots of trees and quiet
I'll keep my friends near

Sailboats on the sound
And if you turn around
Tallest buildings
Markets and storefronts
And all the things I want
Or wish that I was
