mr. sharky and his boys are smokin' cigars
they came knocking on my door three days ago
now they're spread out on my matching couch and love seat
they thrash and nibble at the bait around my soul
sharky drinks my wine and works my lap computer
as if his presence really had some kind of worth
i serve them tuna balls and those little cocktail weiners
sharky casually asks me if i like to surf
chorus
fatten up boys!
some day, i'll stop feeding them
(chomp that chum, got a taste for blood)
hack it up boys!
i pray, i'll stop needing them
(grab that grub, chew it, do it to a nub)
fatten up boys!
one day i'll set them free
out to see
(chomp that chum, got a taste for blood)
now sharkey's all concerned,
he wants to know what's eating me
fatten up boys!
some day, i'll stop feeding them
(chomp that chum got a taste for blood)
hack it up boys!
i pray, i'll stop needing them
(grab that grub, chew it, do it to a nub)
fatten up boys!
one day, i'll set them out to sea
(chomp that chum, got a taste for blood)
sharky takes and sharky gives
just about enough to let you live, yeah
thought i had luck enough to fall from sharky's favor
but he assures me that the check is in the mail
he's breathing hard, his smile is cavalier and vicious
wearing that suit of razor blades with those florshems on his tail
mr. sharky and the boys are getting restless
they've got junky eyes, and i'm another fix
sharky likes to hear me beg for second chances
so he can tell me that he'll fix it in the mix
chorus
so i'll act friendly with that squaliform card shark
and his voracious cartilaginous breed
pretend to be his loyal pilot fishing yard guard
the chub soup recipe for his predatory need
yeah, we all got our needs,
all got our needs
get down, get down, get down,
so get down, get down on your knees
now sharky makes a slight adjustment to his aqua-green toupee
then flosses up all his bloody gums and teeth
and all the while he's laughing at my naivete and folly
cos' man, you know, that's just the nature of the beast
now all this time my harpoon is concealed, it's loaded up and ready
the net's overhead, and there's a mickey in his drink
yeah, they think they've fooled me with all their pig-latin shop talk
i smile and sign the papers with some disappearing ink
it's a feeding frenzy
we're all fat and friendly
they've got the cash to lend me now
and i've still got some dreams
but it's a cordial slaughter
and gettin' harder and harder
to keep treadin' on in the dangerous waters
and to keep my own nose clean, so
fatten up boys
fatten up boys
fatten up ow!
fatten up ow!
fatten up ow! |
This song is great!!!

(Disco) Love Grapes
from the album "Zoom Daddy"
Words by Terry Taylor, Music by Terry Taylor, David Raven and Tim Chandler
staggering blow to your power poles
cancelled flight to your withering heights
wonder crust to your blunder bust
a quesling kink in a leaky sink
your jive is shucked, your luck is up
your days are cursed, you liver's worse
your ham is pressed, your more is less
and the harvest white, the time is right
God's little acre grows the fruits of labor
do 'em a favor, sooner or later
no love is greater than to love your neighbor
will you, won't you, will you pick some...
chorus
love grapes
drink a little wine from the fruit of the vine
grow love grapes
everybody's gassed, saved the best for last
stomp love grapes,
pick a bottle up, fill another man's cup
(drink) love grapes
squeeze another bunch, gotta beat em' to the punch, yeah
rotate your crops as another shoe drops
go to ramming speed in your nadaing greed
there's sponge in the bells and poison in the wells
a fly in the soup, a moth in the suit
God's little acre grows the fruits of labor
do em' all a favor, yeah sooner or later
no love is greater than to love your neighbor
duty free and beauty be some...
chorus
will you won't you, will you won't you
won't you pick some love grapes?
if you are not satisfied
move on out to the country side
where the mountains's high and the river's wide
lose your cool and bury your pride
plant your seeds and water a spell
become a famer in the dell
there are peppers grown on the shore of hell
so quench your thirst and do it well with
love grapes ("abide in me, i am the vine")
love grapes ("abide in me, and drink the wine")
pretty pretty love grapes
love grapes
My first Eddies experience was the "Berry Vest" (followed soon after by Spittle & Phlegm), so this was probably the first Swirling Eddies song I ever heard. I liked it right away- weirdness and fun all around. Very strange take on the command to "love your neigbor as yourself."

played ZD through twice and then two more times back to back with OE
OE has more songs and musically has more options... but I still have to give the top honors to ZD.
fatten up boys!

In the words of Shrek, "Really really."
A snippet of my thoughts on Youth "I more or less had my negative bags packed and was ready to not like Youth. To my surprise the first couple of times through I thought it was pretty good, and I found myself warming to the album despite myself. True, it’s missing Ross, but Joel is a good kid, and Youth has the feel of a transition album (I can almost hear the guys “Wait’ll you hear the next one!”). It’ll be interesting to see what Joel’s musical voice sounds like once he’s allowed to cut loose and step out of Ross’ shadow. Musically the guys have mellowed and turned down the crunch, but it’s a natural progression and the music retains the best of what made Collective Soul stand out from the other ubiquitous bands out there. Which was a pleasant surprise."

the well spoken Stuart.
I think my original synopsis still stands- its not that they dont do what a lot of bands did or are doing- but they approach it from say - 5 degrees starboard, and it helps.
Even the crunch had a lil extra snap (IMHO)
Do you have to be a "youth" to appreciate it?
apparently not!

Oh I see that Friday is now Punday. So that being said, I'll put on my Punday best, and do my Berry Vest to keep in time with the rest of you.

That was a post. So if you make a wishy washy post that says nothing is that sitting on a fence post?
