> [@misstee](#): > > Good, this is part one of three - the next papers will be on drugs/alcohol in music and violence in music. Ok, to get a jump on it: The one I was thinking first of was : Folks, now here’s the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher… Now, she messed around with a bloke named Smoky, She loved him though he was cokie, He took her down to Chinatown, He showed her how to kick the gong around. Now, she had a dream about the king of Sweden, He gave her things that she was needin’, He gave her a home built of gold and steel, A diamond car with a platinum wheel. Now, he gave her his townhouse and his racing horses, Each meal she ate was a dozen courses; She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes, And she sat around and counted them all a billion times. Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min. Or there’s: Hoagie Charmichael Hong Kong Blues It’s the story of a very unfortunate coloured man Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong He got twenty years’ privilege taken away from him When he kicked old Buddha’s gong And now he’s poppin’ the piano just to raise the price Of a ticket to the land of the free Well, he says his home’s in 'Frisco where they send the rice But it’s really in Tennessee And you want violence google Stagger Lee…There’s alot of him;;;I think this is in public domain: The night was clear, and the moon was yellow And the leaves came tumblin` down. . . I was standin` on the corner When I heard my bull dog bark. He was barkin` at the two men Who were gamblin` in the dark. It was Stagger Lee and Billy, Two men who gambled late. Stagger lee threw a seven, Billy swore that he threw eight. `Stagger Lee,` said Billy, `I can`t let you go with that. `You have won all my money, `And my brand-new Stetson hat.` Stagger Lee went home And he got his .44. He said, `I`m goin`to the ballroom`Just to pay that debt I owe.` (bridge) Go, Stagger Lee Stagger Lee went to the ballroom And he strolled across the ballroom floor. He said `You did me wrong, Billy.` And he pulled his .44. `Stagger Lee,` said Billy, `Oh, please don`t take my life! `I`ve got three hungry children, `And a very sickly wife.` Stagger Lee shot Billy Oh, he shot that poor boy so hard That a bullet went through Billy And broke the bartender`s bar. But I like Nick Cave’s version: It was back in 32 when times were hard He had a Colt 45 and a deck of cards, Stagger Lee He wore rat drawn shoes and an old Stetson hat Had a 28 Ford, had payments on that, Stagger Lee His woman threw him out in the ice and snow And told him “Never ever come back no more” Stagger Lee So he walked through the rain and he walked through the mud 'Til he came to a place called ‘The Bucket of Blood’ Stagger Lee He said “Mr Motherfucker, you know who I am” and the barkeeper said “No, and I don’t give a good goddamn” To Stagger Lee He said “Well bartender, it’s plain to see I’m that bad motherfucker called Stagger Lee, Mr. Stagger Lee” The barkeeper said “Yeah, I’ve heard your name down the way And I kick motherfucking asses like you every day Mr Stagger Lee” Well all those were the last words that the barkeeper said 'Cause Stag put four holes in his motherfucking head It’s usually Billy or the barkeep who gets it. But to get back to sex have we left off: Closer to God You let me violate you You let me desecrate you You let me penetrate you You let me complicate you Help me I broke apart my insides Help me I’ve got no soul to sell Help me The only thing that works for me Help me get away from myself I wanna fuck you like an animal I wanna feel you from the inside There’s also a song called Fist Fuckers Inc., by Fist Fuckers Inc. but it doesn’t even come up on Google. I swear it existed though. ---
