rock and roll musings by Tim Byrnes

Lyrics From the Forthcoming Album I'll Record on an Answering Machine If I Have To!!

from  'Violence Solves Everything'

  ... that's my soul there, hear it singing

in the sweet, ancient tongue of the birds

yeah, it's singing on a little song of redemption

but it's mispronouncing all of the words

and it's reverse lighting all of it's memories

so it brings all the dark to the front

and it begs you to, please, understand it

when it knows, by design, that you won't

and it knows, in it's mind, that you can't

and then the old whore starts to laugh ........................

From A Reading From the Book of Hunger

(cho) Ima kill you, motherfucker, Ima kill you. That's right (repeat)

cold wind blowing through some old trees

the choices still in front of me: loving you or dying by degrees

and ain't it something how the days pile up

you want to shoot down the world 'cause it's never enough and there's

too much that sounds like love

that only sounds like love

i am less than nothing without you

that's what they tell me

that's what they try to sell me

less than nothing without you

but. babe, where would you be

without me

believing?............................

From 'Buster's a Good Dog'

.... he wants to have sex with everything he sees

but Buster's a good dog.

he won't do that..........

And so on. All my recording stuff burned so right now it's just me banging on the PRS and hollering at the dogs but sooner or later there'll be another record - this one w/the working title of 'god bless america'. Lower case intentional.

I have an old-school cassette recorder and a couple cheap mikes that I don't use. Say the word and the "upgrade" is yours. :D

Serious thanks. But about the tuneage you mentioned bringing on BL. I have nothing to play anything on since the fire (unless I can rig the cassette recorder into my guitar amp, but CDs have to go in the toaster and really don't play well) Anywhooo, bring yr neanderthal throwrug ass out to the hinterlands and I'll show ya how the black Chris Rock lives.



Really, between the 2 of us, me and Chris Rock, who lives more like the White man? Hmm? Hmmm?

A'ight. In that case, we'll just check out stuff in the car back and forth from the "gig." At least I got tuneage for the road. :)

Note to all ; Lyrics under the title 'A Reading From the Book of Hunger' are actually from a tune called 'The Room is the 5th Beatle', '.... Hunger' is a MUCH MUCH angrier tune.

apologies, I'm typing this @ work,
