And so am I
You'd better give me something
So I don't die
Novocaine for the soul
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Life is white
And I am black
Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back
Oh, my darling
Will you be here
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Guess who's living here with the great undead
This paint by numbers life is fucking with my head
Once again
Life is good
And I feel great
Because mother says I was
A great mistake
Novocaine for the soul
You'd better give me something to fill the hole
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Will do. Totally "deranged" is probably the operative word for an astrophysicist dad rather than "estranged," but whatever. Who cares... if there's a doc to go along with that kinda family drama?!
I think Clear Channel has morphed into I heart Radio now, but still corporate radio, which blows.
True that, TJS....and I'm sure BillG is super happy he left the FM world so many years ago....he saw the writing on the wall....Long Live RP, our musical oasis!!
Which reminds me why I used to enjoy KZOK 102.5FM in Seattle before clear channel took over....they always played the 'bad' words...nowadays I don't know since I've kicked fm radio to the curb!! Long Live RP!!

"best agers" among us. Thanks Bill well done

the freedom to serve the BUSH AGENDA OR DIE, that is reality in America, you folks who still shout about a conistition or a bill of rights havn't heard of the patriot act , no more rights.....see ya !
Bush has been out of office for 5 YEARS! The patriot act has been put on steroids by Obama. They are all the same. Please educate yourself.
.
I think in this case rdo was telling ick to leave America, a.k.a. "Land of the Free" thus demonstrating that it's not in the sense of "beer", "lunch" or "speech"
Doesn't stop me wanting to visit the place (gotta try some of those places on Triple-D)
Please don't tell others to go away. It's not your station, and not your place to give orders. All RP listeners are equal, and have equal rights to free(ish) speech on these boards. I suspect also that Bill & Becky would look askance at (possibly) paying punters being driven away.
And I am black
Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back
May I suggest to them who they should be suing?



Just because we know the words doesn't mean we should encourage their use.
It doesn't mean their use should be discouraged either. Try using "I" instead of "we".
As an American, I can tell you that our priorities are not only questionable but retarded. And don't give me that bullshit that if you don't like it you can always leave. I was born here into a servitude most vile, one of taxation and debt that was created by people who were entrusted to represent us and have done nothing of the sort. What sort of freedom do we really have? Give me nipples and F-bombs any day over the violence.
Whew! ... just needed to vent a bit.... we still have it better than a lot of people in the world.

It's uncanny, no? The title "Beautiful Freak" is all too accurate!
Everybody in my church loves this song...

Please leave, you won't be missed.
It could just be the version of the song someone uploaded. There are a lot of different renditions of songs that have been "cleaned up" for radio station airplay (gotta protect the ears and sensibilities of our tender little children, afterall - like they've never heard or dropped the "F-bomb" before...)

Miss you so much, Cynaera...
And the last time you voted for someone who argued for reducing the size and expense of government was when?
Or did you vote for the one promising you more government goodies?
If the latter, your 'servitude' isn't vile enough.
I like almost all the music, though, and understand why his tunes gets into a lot of movie soundtracks.
I quite like Mr Eels.

The trick is that the people you vote for have to what they said they would do. This doesn't happen very often.

Do something about it!
Yeah... unedited... love this... sounds just like the original CD track, instead of the commercial version...

I agree... love this song...
Just because we can change an artist's lyrics doesn't mean we should do so.
Maybe this word offends your ears. Censoring a song offends mine.

We be dancing... love it...

Yeah...it's okay for kids to see people getting shot and maimed on TV, but if a nipple should pop out or someone drops an F-bomb, it's a disaster. American priorities are, shall we say, questionable.

Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives. It's fascinating AND educational.

Am I the only one that hears some Snow Patrol?
Yes :)

Please refer to my comment to Bocephus. It's not always Bill's choice - he chooses from what is submitted. If you have a better version without "edits," submit it! Put your comments in, and be patient. We all know RP is about radio free everywhere.


love it...

Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back
</lyrics>
i always get a kick out of the lyrics, myself. maybe i'm easy to please.

I read the post before i knew, that it was you! But it could be only you , who wrote this post!!

Saw a BBC special, Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives, on the lead singer, Mark Everett. It's actually more about his relationship with his father who is the physcist who credited with the concept of parallel universes in quantum mechanics. A very interesting story and family, but somewhat depressing and tragic by anyone's standards. An interesting look at an artist and the events and people that shaped him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Oliver_Everett
Thanks for the information. I like his music and it's good to have some background.
That or you've been listening to too many Clear Channel stations. :)
This is their best song...



Life is hard and so am i
You better give me something
So I dont die
Novocaine for the soul
Before I sputter out
Life is white and I am black
Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back
Oh my darling will you be here
Before I sputter out
Guess whos living here
With the great undead
This paint by numbers life is fucking with my head
Once again
Life is good and I feel great
cause mother says I was
A great mistake
Novovaine for the soul
You better give me something
To fill the hole
Before I sputter out (repeat)

These lyrics are great. Simple but evocative.
