Vlayman: “Wishin'”

Wishin’
c. ’16 Vlayman

Ever’body feels some uncertainty
It comes with the territory
It’s that o’ insecurity
Makes you afraid of me, ain’t no reason to be

CH:
You been sittin’ there wonderin’,
if you should
And I been sittin’ here wishin’,
wishin you would

You ain’t the only one feelin’ yerself sweat
And we ain’t even begun yet
I bet you kinda wish we was already done
And you coud get to say,, “Take me home, I had fun”

CH

RAP double-time:
Ever’body feels some insecurity
Ever’body feels some inferiority
It’s that demon uncertaintainty
Makes you so afraid of me
You ain’t the only one feelin’ yerself sweat
We could have alotta fun we just ain’t begun yet
You ain’t never gonna wanna be completely done
We gonna make so much good lovin’, lovin’, lovin’
Ain’t got be askeered, is what I’m tellin’ you
Tho’ I confess, I’m a li’l askeered, too
But we arrived with mutual expectations
Our fascination’s gonna turn to appreciation

Vlayman: “Younger Women (Hey, Hey!)”

Younger Women (Hey, Hey!)
c. ’16 Vlayman

Standing in the shadows of lust
I been shakin’ t’il I rattle and cuss
Standin’ in the shadows of love
I’m gonna do what I must

Hey, hey

Lookin’ at ya through half closed eyes, yeah
You make me think about how I wanna die

CH: Hey, hey, what is it about younger women
Puts me in mind of what I ain’t been givi n’ (#2 gettin’)
Ain’t just a line that I’m singin’,
about my loneliness?

Smellin’ yer tears, tastin’ yer hair
What doya fear? Why can’t ya stay?
Why can’t ya stay?

Vlayman: “Management”

Management
c. ’16 Vlayman

It’s the kinda thing ya do
when they’re lookin’ at you
Do ya know what I mean
It ain’t really me
I ain’t tryin’ to be mean
_
I don’t mean to push
But if ya knowed what it took

I know ya know what I mean
It ain’t really me
I ain’t meant to be mean
It’s how ya gotta act
When they on yer back
I know ya know what I mean
It ain’t really me
I ain’t tryin’ to be mean

I ain’t better than
q y’all
But it ain’t my call
I’m management

This weren’t my idear, I guess
And I hope yer last check clears real fast
I din’t know what I mean
This ain’t really me
I ain’t really mean

I ain’t better than all y’all
But it ain’t my call
I’m management

Vlayman: “Fever of the Gods”

Fever of the Gods
c. ’16 Vlayman

When it gets that hot
You can be pretty sure what you got
Somethin’ deep within
Mortal man calls a sin

You got the fever, fever
of the gods

When yer incapable of praying
And yer body keeps on dehydrating
When you can’t help but begin
Even tho’ you know it’s mebbe a sin

You got the fever, fever
of the gods

Don’t matter if you is the promised one
Once yer there it’s already begun
All you can do is go again
Make it yer own special sin

You got the fever, fever
of the gods

Vlayman w Silversmith: “Freckles”

Freckles
c. ’16 Vlayman

Ginger baby, alabaster skin
I’m a bastard let me in
I didn’t mean to sin
Let me in

Don’t mind how I fell down
All turned around
Don’t mind the heckles
Don’t mind how I fell down
All turned around
And I really love yer freckles

Green eyed fox don’t throw no cock block
Don’t hate me no more
Open up the door
Let me in

Don’t mind how I fell down
All turned around
I’ain’t Dr. H. Jeckyls
I really love yer freckles

Satisfied in my mind
You is what I find
In my heart
Let me in

Best rock albums of the 21st Century?

Asked that at TOMB, and staying with major-label releases, I said:

I’m not a 16 year old girl altho’ I might play one in …

…eh, …

… well, for me, not a 16 year old girl but a 56 year old young man, the record that first came to mind as something new that I could get behind would be The National’s High Violet, in that it kind of sets up a new genre, altho’ they may be about the only ones innit, of dad-rock. Altho’ Trouble Will Find Me is arguably even better …

I also think that, somehow, a Foo Fighter’s disc should be nominatable, altho’ I don’t really think any given album from them is that good.

So, as a alternate, mebbe Songs for the Deaf by QOTSA, altho’ Them Crooked Vultures is just as good, and …Like Clockwork, also.

Shoutouts to:
Lanegan: Blues Funeral and Bubblegum;
Richard Thompson: Old Kit Bag and Electric
Ryan Adams: Ryan Adams and Gold
Gov’t Mule: Shout and Sco-Mule
Steve Wynn: Crossing Dragon Bridge and … Tick … Tick …Tock
Grinderman: both records
Dinosaur Jr.: Beyond
Buddy Guy: Sweet Tea (blues-rock?)
NIN: The Fragile
Bowie: the last two
Frank Black: Frank Black and the Catholics, Pistolero, Bluefinger
Steve Earle: The Revolution Starts Now
Wilco: Kicking Televisions, Star Wars, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Nick Cave: Push Away the Sky
REM: Accelerate
Jack White: his two
I also dig the Dead Weather records, all 3
Sonic Youth: Rather Ripped, Sonic Nurse, The Eternal
Bob Mould: District Line, Life and Times, Silver Age
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers: Mojo
Black Dub

The Hungry Drunx: “Tears”

Tears
c. ’16 The Hungry Drunx

What I feel is inconsequential
Tears of a clown, is all that you will see
That’s if they’re real
And evidential
You’ll see ’em eventually

I have no fear
Of any thing that you might say or do
I have no fear, I have no fear of you
I have no fear
I have no fear of showing my tears
I have no fear, I have no tears

What I am, is presidential
Tears of a clown, is what you see
And I ain’t real
That’s evidential
You’ll realize that about me, eventually

CH

My tears fall down, and they’re torrential
Tears of a clown, fallin’ all around me
Do you believe they’re real?
And consequential?
You’ll see through me eventually
