I'll Be Your Plastic Toy

2012-02-01T21:09:00.005-05:00

Listen to the girl
As she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey dripping beehive
Beehive
It's good, so good, it's so good
So good

Walking back to you
Is the hardest thing that
I can do
That I can do for you
For you

I'll be your plastic toy
I'll be your plastic toy
For you

Eating up the scum
Is the hardest thing for
Me to do

Just like honey (x 17)

What Do You Want To Be?

2012-01-04T22:17:00.004-05:00

I want to be a Playboy’s bunny
I’d do whatever they asked me to
I’d meet people with lots of money
and they would love me
like I loved you

I want to be a topless waitress
I want my mother to shed one tear
I’d throw away this old sedate dress
slip into something a tad more sheer

I want to be an artist’s model
an odalisque, au naturel
I should be good at spin-the-bottle
while I’ve still got something
left to sell

I want to be a cobra dancer
with Little Willie between my thighs
I may not find a cure for cancer
But I’ll meet plenty of single guys

I want to be a brothel worker
I’ve always been treated like one
If I could be a back-street lurker
I'd make more money
and have more fun

I want to be a dominatrix
which isn’t like me, but I can dream
learn S, and M,
and all those gay tricks
And men will pay me to
make them scream

I want to be a porno starlet
(for that I'll wait till Mama’s dead)
I'll see my name in lights of scarlet
and get to spend every day in bed

I want to be a tattooed lady
dedicated, as I am, to art
Characters bold, complex and shady
will write my memoirs
across my heart.

One of my favorite Pirates, the 1966 batting champ was part of the legendary Alou family with his brothers Felipe and Jesus.

But many don't know of the fourth Alou brother: Boog Powell. He changed his name because he didn't like being called Boog Alou...

Your Ghost

2011-10-31T19:33:00.005-04:00

Halloween treat from Kristin Hersh

If I walk down this hallway
Tonight, it's too quiet
So I pad through the dark
And call you on the phone
Push your old numbers
And let your house ring
Till I wake your ghost

Let him walk down your hallway
It's not that quiet
Slide down your receiver
Sprint across the wire
Follow my number
Slide into my hand

It's the blaze across my nightgown
It's the phone's ring
I think last night
You were driving circles around me

I can't drink this coffee
Till I put you in my closet
Let him shoot me down
Let him call me off
I take it from his whisper
You' re not that tough

It's the blaze across my nightgown
It's the phone's ring
I think last night (you were in my dreams)
You were driving circles around me

Chanteuse + Super 8 = Awesomeness

Loving Lana Del Rey

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

"Oh, you're so silent, Jens"

2011-04-19T21:19:00.005-04:00

Another amazing Swede - Jens Lekman, off his 2005 release Oh, You're So Silent Jens

Oh no, God damn
I missed the last tram
I killed the party again
God damn, God damn

I want to sleep in my bed
I want to clean up my head
Don't want to look this dead
Don't want to feel this dread

I killed the party again
I ruined it for my friends
"Oh, you're so silent, Jens"
Well, maybe I am, maybe I am

Now at the central station
No time for being patient
I feel like going home
But at the same time, I don't

Black Cab

And I've heard all those stories
About the black cabs and the way they drive
That if you take a ride with them
You might not come back alive

They might be psycho killers
But tonight I really don't care
So I say turn up the music
Take me home or take me anywhere

Black cab

You don't know anything
So don't ask me questions
You don't know anything
So don't ask me any questions
You don't know anything
So don't ask me questions

Just turn the music up
And keep your mouth shut

Black cab

Which Side Are You On, Boys?

2011-02-25T19:11:00.004-05:00

This government had an idea
And parliament made it law
It seems like it's illegal
To fight for the union any more

Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?

We set out to join the picket line
For together we cannot fail
We got stopped by police at the county line
They said, "Go home boys or you're going to jail"

Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?

It's hard to explain to a crying child
Why her Daddy can't go back
So the family suffer
But it hurts me more
To hear a scab say Sod you, Jack

Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys
Which side are you on?

I'm bound to follow my conscience
And do whatever I can
But it'll take much more than the union law
To knock the fight out of a working man

Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?

I Just Know That Something Good Is Gonna Happen

2011-02-24T16:10:00.006-05:00

You know you are getting old when songs from 1985 are getting the cover treatment from this great new band, Wild Nothing, out of Virginia. Awesome job.
