The Format: Dead End 5761. Ulgine Barrows - 8/30/2006 7:43:24 AM No one can save us
But Kim the waitress 5762. Ulgine Barrows - 8/30/2006 7:45:56 AM Snails see the benefits,
The beauty in every inch
Oh, why, why, why, why, oh, why,
Are you quick to kiss?
She bites at blades and leaves, goddamn you shrubbery,
I'm sick of vanity plays
Should we move to the UK?
'Cause life here in the States has escaped
All the people above us
What we make of those people we love
Snails see the benefits,
The beauty in every inch
Oh, why, why, why, why, oh, why,
Are you quick to kiss?
Baby maybe, I spoke to soon
I'll touch you once you make the first move
Snails see the benefits,
The beauty in every inch
I watch her as she runs,
My mother jumps the gun,
She puts her in her arms,
That is just like my mom
Never lets go, never lets me grow old,
I wanna pay her back,
But love is nothing you can tax
My familys not rich by any means,
But I feel we won the lottery that day,
The rock swallowed the girl,
And I cried as cameras caught my eyes,
My tears turned into butterflies,
They fly away as caskets close
A new day comes you'll wake unfold,
Smile when you feel the sunlight,
You feel the sunlight,
You feel the sunlight
You feel the sunlight,
Snails see the benefits,
The beauty in every inch
Oh, why, why, why, why, oh, why,
Are you quick to kiss?
Baby maybe, I spoke to soon
I'll touch you once you make the first move,
Snails see the benefits,
The beauty in every inch
Snails see the benefits,
The beauty in every inch 5763. Ulgine Barrows - 8/30/2006 7:50:16 AM so meet me in the middle
well come on let's make up a dance
and we'll agree to call it the compromise
step one:
find a partner, grab a pen
and don't you dare ask questions just sign on the dotted line
well, step two-oo-oo:
put your partner behind a desk
where they'll do absolutely nothing
so its your job to dance and smile
the whole time
well don't call it a trend
'cause it's the only way we think to get ahead
so meet me in the middle
well come on lets make up a dance
and we'll agree to call it the compromise

One More For Saint Michael (Miller)Michael you
Don't know the half of a mess
Getting made
Down at your favorite address
Pretty seraphs
Cutting holes in us all
Checking stains in the stalls
Getting season box seats for the fall
With their challenge
To the too weak to fight
Leave them shaking
With their faces drained white
Shooting red glare
In the dawn's early light
Knocking doors in the night
Flush them out, they'll get picked off in flight
Angel gel it awhile
And take some appropriate notice
Before all the numbers are in
Saint Michael you don't need one more win
Who's that little pile of smiles?
Get away thank you I don't need a tax audit [1]
I haven't made one ha ha half dollar all year
I'm a man in the clear
Who does not need company here
Must be old heathen Ed
In a rail stop gin bag rain tarp
Nobody bother me spree
Comic relief pee sprays down his knee
I know kids about three
More goddamn impressive than me
Boards and tin and empties of gin
And god only knows how many holes he's been in [2]
Saint Michael you don't need one more win
Tell 'em, Jim... [3]
Captain Jim throws the prime directive out [4]
For the umpteenth time
It's habit for him now
Reeling wild from the stern to the bow
With T'Pring and T'Pau [5]
I know why they call a starship 'she' now [6]
Volunteers the man needs volunteers
It's a special mission for a special deputy
Up jump an eager pup saying
Put in put in put in put in put in put in put in
Put in a good word for me
Oh no master my teeth aren't to chatter
That's just them dry bone crack down
Right down under the skin
Saint Michael you don't need one more win
* - Scott has said that this song is about inappropriate righteousness. The archangel Michael in the old testament was someone who tried to lead people to righteousness. However, I like to think that Scott's referring to Michael Landon, star of the old TV series Highway To Heaven.1 - Scott, on the time period during which Lolita Nation was written: "I had a big beef against power structures at the time, particularly because the IRS was inventing tour income for me that never existed and making me prove it didn't exist, which if you're broke is very difficult but fortunately possible if you put the whole rest of your life on hold."2 - Conceivably a reference to the Beach Boys' God Only Knows.3 - From the Star Trek episode And The Children Shall Lead.4 - Captain Jim is Captain James T. Kirk from Star Trek.5 - T'Pau was the leader of the Vulcans and T'Pring was Spock's bride-to-be, in the Star Trek episode Amok Time.6 - A quote from another Star Trek episode.
Choose Between Two Sons
* - Scott has an unreleased earlier song with the same title.
Chardonnay (Miller)I was feeling the weight of the atmosphere
And those I know aren't looking overjoyed I'm here
Daughters about fourteen order wine
And Chardonnay shows what she knows when she decides
Couldn't tell you now what clicked inside
Or why that's what I call her
Hardly floored but still reminded
That I once could want it all
I don't know any that age who've died of greed
And so was I once letting be and letting bleed [1]
I believe David Carradine changed a lot [2]
Eastern wisdom Kunging Fu on western thought
But was always missing that same spot [3]
Or knew but wouldn't say
A lot of life's best things are
Farther than a zen proverb away
Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay
Hey Chardonnay Chardonnay oh Chardonnay
They can always put you down some way
But I can't see you being saved for one more rainy day
It was easy to think at the U canteen [4]
Drunk and small-time, finishing the quarter mean [5]
That a lot of the structure would have to fall
Haves and have-nots polarized at facing walls
I don't think I believed it all
But needed just the same
A way to deal with being shut out
Of the decent peoples' game
Hey Chardonnay...
Well it's harder each night gonna take a miracle
Gonna take Ernst Dali and de Chirico [6]
Gonna recharge cranio-mechanical
Turning me right back into an animal
Hey Chardonnay...
* - Chardonnay is a dry white wine.1 - A reference to the Beatles album Let It Be and the Rolling Stones album Let It Bleed.2 - David Carradine starred in the TV show Kung Fu.3 - Possibly this is a reference to how, in the show Kung Fu, Carradine's character would try to snatch a pebble from a teacher's hand.4 - U canteen = university cafeteria.5 - Guess: finishing the school quarter with either few resources, or average grades.6 - Max Ernst and Salvador Dali were surrealist painters; Georgio de Chirico was an influence on the surrealists.
Last Day That We're Young (Miller)Adds up a shame to leave it so unresolved
Shakes all the sheathing loose from the wire [1]
Time's going to be a luxury now
In the responsibility empire
Give me some false hope I can take seriously
Set me some road blocks I can't break through
And watch what I'll risk to get what I want
I think too much I always do
No changing your side
No thinking it's time to start things over
No favors denied
No, not on the last day that we're young
Hang up the faces, Lon Chaney, your day's gone [2]
Each one is one less chance you can win
No one can get behind what they all say
And so you lose before you begin
What was it we were always wanting?
Didn't we know we had it all?
Show me some tear-eyed beauty that disappears
Every time I might happen along
Opalesque, eye-lined, owning the day
When it comes I'll have been proven wrong
No changing your side...
What was it we were always wanting?
Didn't we know we had it all?
You can place the name, and you can face the nation...
But you can't place your friends' bets on the nameless grace.

Thank you. 5770. Ulgine Barrows - 8/30/2006 9:01:10 AM Put on your satin shoes. 5771. NuPlanetOne - 8/31/2006 3:49:43 AM Ulgine….I wouldn’t say the lyrics are hated, just spammy at times. The rest of the time they are quite entertaining. As for Seamus, I believe his remarks were misconstrued, he merely gave you the floor. That is, until he needs it again. Carry on. 5772. RickNelson - 8/31/2006 12:47:14 PM Thanks for the remarks about that poem Nu, arky and alistair.
I don't mind the lyrics much either. And with Kim the Waitress, how could one not enjoy? 5773. RickNelson - 8/31/2006 12:48:10 PM Ulgine, I would read Nu in 5771 and go with that more than any other. 5774. Ulgine Barrows - 9/2/2006 1:16:37 AM Rick
God I luv you guys, you moties, you ladies, don't wanna leave anyTone hanging! 5775. Ulgine Barrows - 9/2/2006 1:20:20 AM 5771. NuPlanetOne
Yes, spammy.
Actually, my son was curious about SPAM a few months ago.
He was a vociferous gobbler of it the first time.
Never asked for it, since.
Did you know, SPAM, it is South Pacific Army Meat and all the Hawaiian McDonalds have some thingy of it on their menu? 5776. Ulgine Barrows - 9/2/2006 1:24:57 AM Spammmy I ammmmy. 5777. Ulgine Barrows - 9/2/2006 1:25:53 AM yeah, I'm easily amused at the odd rhyme ~ 5778. Ulgine Barrows - 9/2/2006 3:11:54 AM Dire Straights
And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street 5779. Ulgine Barrows - 9/2/2006 3:34:18 AM 5540 the arrogant loneliness of swans in the canal
See, I can't abide by the choice of arrogant
arrogant loneliness?
I think not.
One can be arrogant, and one can be lonely, but the poet should have said,
'lonely arrogance of the swans'
