  1. In the mornin' you go gunnin

    For the man who stole your water

    Then you fire 'til he is done in

    But they catch you at the border

    And the mourners are all singin'

    As they drag you by your feet

    But the hangman isn't hanging'

    So they put you on the street

     

    (WTH is this song about?)

      It's about drugs. Any song you can't understand is about drugs.

      I believe it's a song about recidivism.  "You go back, Jack, do it again.  Wheel turnin' round and round".   I could find many better subjects to write a song about, but they made it a hit.  Can't argue with success.

  2. Why don't you ask him if he's going to stay?
    Why don't you ask him if he's going away?

    Why don't you tell me what's going on?
    Why don't you tell me who's on the phone?

  5. I had this dream the other night... I went to work one day, and nobody remembered who I was!
    So, I decided to take the day off.
    On my way out, I run into my boss - and he says,
    "Hey, you look familiar"...
    I said, "Thanks, people say that A lot in these dreams"
     
    10 points for whoever gets the reference... :P

  9. Been playing drums for over 40 years...  Still can't do the "Rosanna shuffle". :mad:

    ...It's the damn ghost notes in combination with the hi-hat.

    (I have a similar issue with "Fool In The Rain")

      After 30 years of guitar (and bass), I started playing drums a year or two ago.  Bought my son a kit and DVD lesson series for Christmas, but I use it more than he does.  It's been a ton of fun, but I know i'm a total noob.  Really enjoying it, though, and I try to keep learning.

      Do you have a SoundCloud or Bandlab account if you decide to upload a demo?

      I do have a SoundCloud account (PacManPlus) but I would never upload a demo of me screwing up :P

      Claude Raines was the invisible man. Then something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong. They got caught in a celluloid jam. Then at a deadly pace it came from outer space. And this is how the message ran

  11. You are a bold and courageous person... afraid of nothing.

    High on a hilltop near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion.  Some say the place is haunted... but you don't believe in such myths.  One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the top most window in the tower of the old house....  You decide to investigate, and you never return.

      I'm not sure if I had this, but I did have something with Mickey going into a haunted house with Goofy and Donald. It was on a cassette and had a book to read along with.

      Fun tid bit, Orgy's cover is the first song I danced to at The Sanctuary in Toronto back in the late 90's. Man that place was wild. The place is long gone now. Guess what is in that building now? A f*uckin' Starbucks :x

  13. <- Is currently 3D printing a glow-in-the-dark strat guitar body (52 hours to print!)  Got it from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3174465

    If this works, I'm going to design a Monster/Pac-Man guitar body with dots along the neck.

      I started to try to record a cover of that song one time and quickly realized that Mark King is absolutely shredding the bass while singing at the same time... it's awesome!

      I made a custom 9:40 version of this song taking the 12" extended version, 12" dub version, and the 7" version (because they removed the second verse in the 12" version for some strange reason) - I liked the intro of the dub version, switched over to the 12" remix, and just added back the second verse with the 7" version.

  16. Please Rest In Peace, my friend.  God sometimes takes the wrong people.

      I sometimes think they had another purpose. Something better was waiting that they needed to be taken from us.  It is sad for us still alive on Earth to lose people we care about.  :(

       

      You will be missed

      Rest in Peace

      I never realised before just how well that scans with Rational Youth's 'Saturdays in Silesia', which pretty damned far removed from 'I am the Walrus'.

      Woooooooooo!

  18. If you listen closely to the fade-out on 'Rio' (Duran Duran) you will hear that the song actually ends. Why bother fading out a song if it's just going to end at that exact point anyway? I've wondered this ever since the song's release.

      Some songs can't seem to decide if they want to fade or want to end ;)...I'm sure when they play it live they have an ending.

      I hate it when a song fades right when some sort of solo starts or some previously unheard element just starts... why?

  19. Just a word of advice: never, NEVER just take their word for it when someone says to you "I love you so" or "You mean the world to me" or something along those lines. Especially if it's early in the relationship. You WILL be sorry if you believe that person... and it will leave you in a bad place.

      Anyway I hope you get out of that bad place real soon.

      Yep. The "I love you" trap. Not the fairest play in the relationship game.
