I don’t want to hurt no one.
Well, I crossed my old man back in Oregon.
Don’t take me alive.
Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes, I crossed my old man back in Oregon.
Don’t take me alive.
Agents of the law,
Luckless pedestrians.
I know you’re out there…
–Googling the lyrics = cheating–
I’m pretty sure I could do this one and most every other SD song from memory.
The Straight Dope has songs?
(I’m so out of it that I had to google the lyrics to learn this meant Steely Dan.)
With rage in your eyes
and your megaphones
(FWIW I didn’t cheat)
If it did, some of the lyrics from this song could apply.
In stanza 2, you have:
“Can you hear the evil crowd?
The lies and the laughter?”
Pit-denizens who have found themselves on the wrong end of a pile-on must have similar thoughts.
I used to be a bookmaker’s Clerk.
Wasn’t this song written about Charles Whitman?
I am not the fig plucker’s son, but I will pluck figs 'til the fig plucker comes.
Try that one ten times fast.
A man of my mind can do anything.
That’s my second favorite SD song.
I’m not a pheasant plucker, I’m a pheasant plucker’s mate.
I have no son.
Well, drink your big black cow and get out of here, then.
I was smoking with the boys upstairs when I heard about the whole affair.
I know what I’ve done.
I know all at once who I am.
I hear my inside
The mechanized hum of another world
How about:
I’ve seen you on the beach and I’ve seen you on TV
Two of a billion stars it means so much to me
I am never going back to my old school.
My Daddy was a bankrobber
He never hurt nobody
I had to Google that. It’s…Duran Duran. :eek:
Away ye beasty.
