Never thought I'd say that.


You haven't heard Mr. Matthews warble his way through them, though. My perception of how bad they are is filtered through Davey's nose.
Life...life...I know it's got its ups and downs.

Genesis wrote:With the guards of Magog, swarming around,
The Pied Piper takes his children underground.
Dragons coming out of the sea,
Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me.
He brings down the fire from the skies,
You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes.
Better not compromise.
It won't be easy.
666 is no longer alone
He's getting out the marrow in your back bone,
And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll,
Gonna blow right down inside your soul.
Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon,
In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune.
And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue,
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true,
I've been so far from here,
Far from your loving arms,
Now I'm back again, and babe it's gonna work out fine.

The lyrics of this Phish song are particularly retarded:

The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The car is the thing on the road that takes you back to your abode.

The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The car is the thing on the road that takes you back to your abode.

The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
Bummed is what you are when you go out to your car and its been towed.

I woke up one morning
In November
And I realized I love you.
Its not your headlights in front
Or your tailpipe
Or the skylight above you.
Its the way that you cling to the road
When the wind tries to shove you.
I'd never go driving away and come back home without you.

The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The car is the thing on the road that takes you back to your abode.

The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The car is the thing on the road that takes you back to your abode.

The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road.
The car is the thing on the road that takes you back to your abode.

Two young lovers with nothin better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose

They headed down to, ooh, old el paso
Thats where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobbie sue took the money and run

Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run

Billy mack is a detective down in texas
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
He aint gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his livin off of the peoples taxes

Bobbie sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away
Billy joe caught up to her the very next day
They got the money, hey
You know they got away
They headed down south and theyre still running today
Singin go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run

Interpol wrote:I'm gonna pull you in close
I'm gonna wrap you up tight
I'm gonna play with the braids that you came here with tonight
I'm gonna hold your face, and toast the snow that fell
Because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell

I feel like love is in the kitchen with a culinary eye
think he's making something special
And I'm smart enough to try

you don't trust yourself for at least one minute each day,
Well you should trust in this, girl, cuz loving is coming our way.
(Take my love in real small doses.)

If you can fix me up, girl, we'll go a long way.
If you can fix me up, girl, we'll go a long way.

I will stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these days
It takes a long time just to get this all straight.
I'll showcase on Route 7 when I find the right place
It takes a long time just to get this all straight
In my mind, this is my free-time

Because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell.

If you can fix me up, girl, we'll go a long way.
If you can fix me up, girl, we'll go a long way.

I will stand by all this drinking if it helps me through these days
But I've spent a long time corresponding in my own way.
I'll showcase on Route 7 when I find the right place
But it takes a long time just to get this all straight
In my mind, this is my free time...

To let it all away
Spend it all today
Spend it all today
It took time then I found you.


Don't ask me what the fuck the bolded parts are supposed to mean.

There was a period in my life when I was getting bored of constantly listening to the Grateful Dead and decided to broaden my horizons... and listen to Phish. That Wheels song has some of their better lyrics. Most of their stuff sounds just like it was written by a computer programmer (which it was). I can't stand quoting any. Just take some gravol and google phish lyrics.

(Then I realized that heavy reliance on on-stage improvisation wasn't necessary for a band to be worth listening to, and got into fugazi and wire and stuff, and stopped listening to "jam bands")

How someone could have come up with those Steve Miller lyrics, I really don't know. That kind of hack job just don't come easy.
