We had a hell'uva T-storm here last night. Nothing, I'm quite sure, to compare with what's blowing down in the Caribbean. But I certainly enjoyed it.
After I finished walking through a down-pour to feed the horses, I turned the speakers around so that they faced the back porch, and put Oysterhead on the box... Loud.
As the rain continued to increase in volume and velocity, I screamed; "YES !!! More! Come on and give me more." And the sky took me at my word and did just that.
Meanwhile, I kept on firing up... and Oysterhead's music and lyrics seemed to weave and flow within the power of the storm. If you ever get the opportunity to give "The Grand Pecking Order" by Oysterhead a listen... do so. I thought to myself, as I listened to the song called "Army's On Ecstacy", that it was the perfect solution for ending the War. If not, it sure is a modern protest song of worth.
I'm including the lyrics here... wishing... Oh how I'm wishing, that imhip was still here putting the tunes to the words. But lacking that capability, here are the lyrics....
Oysterhead - Army's On Ecstasy
(written by: Claypool/Oysterhead)
The Army's on ecstasy so they say
I read all about it in USA Today
They stepped up urine testing to make it go away
'Cause it's hard to kill the enemy on ol' MDMA
Said the King of contradiction
To the Queen of mystery
The Prince of paradox,
He dogs me like a flea
So I'll set my troops upon him
And bring him to his knees
When all is said and done
I'll pick a fight with the Chinese
The Queen she stared at him long and hard
And then she softly said
I'll rub you down with linseed oil
To ease your throbbing head
She slipped a note into an apricot
And threw it to the whores
The jester read the words
'Something wicked this way roars'
The Army's on ecstasy so they say
I read all about it in USA Today
They stepped up urine testing to make it go away
'Cause it's hard to kill the enemy on ol' MDMA
The price they put upon the heads
Of folks with poignant views
Would be better spent on the children
Without shoes
And when the King condoned
The actions of the liar
He forgot to weight the awesome power
Of the village crier
The Army's on ecstasy so they say
I read all about it in USA Today
They stepped up urine testing to make it go away
'Cause it's hard to kill the enemy on ol' MDMA
The Army's on ecstasy so they say
I read all about it in USA Today
[in Japanese: The Army's on ecstasy so they say
I read all about it in USA Today
They stepped up urine testing to make it go away
'Cause it's hard to kill the enemy on ol' MDMA]
