Bishop With A Bulge
02:34
|
|||
|
From Buckingham Palace to Trafalgar Square,
There’s a kinky clergy queen searching everywhere,
He gives new meaning to the name “Big Ben,”
He’s searching for his favorite little Englishman…
He’s a Bishop with a bulge,
He has a fancy to indulge,
He’s a Bishop with a bulge,
And he’s comin’…he’s comin’ (look out!)
He has right hand drive and a wide back seat,
He’s cruisin’ Pickadilly like a Morris in heat,
Feelin’ good in his Cincture and his long-fat hat,
He’s givin’ happy hugs and some papal pitty-pats,
He’s a Bishop with a bulge,
He has a yen to indulge,
He’s a Bishop with a bulge,
And he’s comin’…he’s comin’ (look out!)
[Instrumental]
Well, Soho Sweets ain’t got nothin’ on me,
I can take it in the sepulcher or on one knee,
So c’mon little lad let’s chase the soaped pig,
Yer just a little Dickens in a Twiggy wig,
He’s a Bishop with a bulge,
He’s barmy to indulge,
He’s a Bishop with a bulge,
And he’s comin’…he’s comin’ (look out!)

Abiogenesis
02:23

God is great, God is good
He gives us cancer
And poisons our food
Don't ask why you'll never understand
It's all part of his plan
Some folks say he died for us
Accept your lot--don't make a fuss
Better times will surely lie ahead
After we're dead
[Bridge]
Where did all these flies come from?
The kitchen's screened, they're in my rum
An hour ago I didn't see fly one...
I wish his wishes weren't all so vague
Is this a prank or some new plague?
Or spontaneous generation?

Satan's Tree
03:16
|

|
There's a pine in my front yard
On the corner of Teufel Lane
Neighbors claim it's Satan's tree
A dozen have been slain
Drivers veer into it's trunk
When blood is on the moon
I suspect the 13th victim
Will arrive here soon
[Bridge]
Once a month I douse the roots
With week old chicken blood
I make a model of a car
With human hair and mud
My wife simply has no clue
About the tree's design
She believes it's nothing more
Than just a simple pine
Edsel, Fiat, Golden Hawk
A Nova and two Darts
Are among the dozen cars
That have been scrapped for parts
A Honda Civic--number 12
Was driven by a teen
I must appease the devil tree
Or else I'll be 13

Sea & Ski

Um ya Sea and Ski. Ya, Alright, Ya.
She wore that Sea and Ski
I'd like to tell you all what it meant to me
Squeezed out, pistachio green
She let me put it on, if you know what I mean
Before those days alone on the beach
Everything seemed so out of reach
And even now that scent mixed with sweat
Is enough to keep me up all night! Ya!
Never gonna get enough of that Sea and Ski, baby
Never gonna get enough of that Sea and Ski, baby
She wore that Sea and Ski
I'd like to tell you all what that meant to me
Squeezed out -- pistachio green in her hand
She lets me rub it in, in my dreams, in my dreams
In my dreams of Sea and Ski
Indigo polka dot bikini
And Sea and Ski
Never gonna get enough of that Sea and Ski, baby
Never gonna get enough of that Sea and Ski, baby
[Bridge]
Some people claim there's a heaven
But I don't know if that's true
Summer 1967 it was hot
But it would work for me--
How about you?
Oooh, they just squeeze it out, slow...
Well, how 'bout you?
Do you want it now, baby
Ya, never gonna get enough of that Sea and Ski
Never gonna get enough of that Sea and Ski, baby
In my dreams I see
Indigo polka dot bikini
With that wet sand
Ooh on your wet sand and you
Workin' on you
Got that Sea and Ski, baby, oooh
Oooh, just squeeze it out

I know where I go
Don't ask me again
Time's no illusion so
I've little to spend
The writing's there up on the wall
But it's a poorly lettered scrawl
And the loneliest sound of all:
The sound of love sucked through a straw
Venus in cancer
Or so I've been told
Taking a chance her
RC was still cold
My reflex slows into a crawl
As I watch baby drink it all
And the loneliest sound of all:
The sound of love sucked through a straw

Love's Everlasting Curse
02:49
|
|||
|
Someone send out for the nurse:
Your restraints need to be redone
Who told you madness would be fun?
Did you think you'd be the only one
To escape--love's everlasting curse?
It's like a tantalizing thirst:
Your food and drink just out of reach
Who told you Hades was a beach?
There's no weak link--you'll find no breach
In the chain--of love's everlasting curse
Somewhere bluebirds are singing
While glissandi are plucked on strings
You have a screwworm in your nostrils
See what the curse of love brings?
[Bridge]
Somewhere hornets are stinging
There's creaking on tired bed springs
The screwworm has traveled to your brain
See what the curse of love brings?
Check your wallet or your purse
You'll find the parchment slip in there
Passed when you were unaware
A demon's dream--your own nightmare
And worse--love's everlasting curse
It's unending your mind is bending
It's unending your mind is bending
It's unending your mind is bending
(Repeat and fade)

Boots Of Spanish Peanuts
04:02
|

|
In boots of Spanish peanuts she comes into the room
Like a ghost upon my Zenith she fades into the gloom
I'd wait until the picture clears
Or twiddle with the rabbit ears
But it gets worse each passing year
I'll wait until the darkness comes
Or blot the screen with both my thumbs
And sit here 'til my legs grow numb
In a Snidely Whiplash tumbler I pour myself a drink
It helps me to remember and reminds me not to think
I dream a dream of yesterdays
Filtered through a whisky haze
It makes it that much easier to stay
A world forms before my eyes
It takes shape but then it dies
And disappears without a sigh
In boots of Spanish peanuts she comes into the room
Like a ghost upon my Zenith she fades into the gloom
She fades into the gloom
She fades into the gloom

It Knows My Name
02:56
|

The thing in the culvert knows my name
It whispers it whenever I walk by
It used to frighten me when I was young
But now I have to wonder why
For years and years it's been the same
I’ve never seen it
But at least it knows my name
[Bridge]
Some choose to sleep with one eye shut
They live in fear of shadowland
Some others make an effort to embrace
A world that they can't understand
One day when I’m tired of this sad life
I’ll go to it when next it calls
Crouching down with head bent low
I’ll inch along the culvert's walls
And then by light of Zippo's flame
At last I’ll see it
And at least I’ll know its name

Naked Eels

Hum, I remember what I said
Don't know the voices in your head
Or when they whisper: "Wish you were dead,
Wish you were dead "
Baby, you know how it feels
Like naked eels, naked eels
Wriggle alive missin' their peels, missin' their peels
Don't cry my love, just what's the matter
Is the poon a boon in Nevada?
No tellin', seen so much data
Don't cry, don't stop
Naked eels, naked eels
Wriggle alive, miss their peels
Naked eels, naked eels
Wriggle alive, missin' their peels
Once their done
Just leads to
Whisperin' voices
[Bridge]
Once their done
Just leads to
Whisperin' voices begin to
"Wish you were dead, wish you were dead"
Don't you?
Naked eels, naked eels
Wriggle alive, miss their peels
Like a naked eel, naked eels
Wriggle alive, miss their peels
Naked eels, naked eels
Wriggle alive, miss their peels
Naked eels, naked eels
Wriggle alive, miss their peels

Several Mouth Parts California
This South Bay / LA area group started in 1971 as the Buddytones. Noted for its odd music and bizarre stage antics, its greatest achievement was causing a 2000 person stampede at the Fox Long Beach Theater in 1972 during “The Penis Song”. They continued performing until 1975, and after a 30 year break started recording again. Now, musically perhaps a bit more polished, enjoy SMP at its finest! ... more
