I had a bad experince with the C.I.A. and now i'm gonna' show you my feminine side
from the album "Zoom Daddy"
Words by Terry Taylor, Music by Terry Taylor, David Raven and Tim Chandler
©1988 Broken Songs
the ways of love weave a tapestry
non-linear threads of mystery
revisionist strands of history
are the ways of love
the ways of love blow
a cold war wind
that kicks you out and brings you in
we're counterspies and specialty men
in the ways of love
a shady past, the financier
of letter bombs and phony beards
(the ways of love are kiss and tell)
a cheap disguise for a tender soul
your coup d'e'tat, my overthrow
(a smoking gun, the bullet shell)
i had a bad experience with the c.i.a.
no they wouldn't let me show her my feminine side
she got busted undercover for the f.bi.i.
she was concealing all her glory and her masculine pride
it's a covert operation and we're d.o.a.
on regulated doses of love's cyanide
the ways of love are an alchemy
of cryptic code and anarchy
the paragon of a parody
are the ways of love
a camera in a boutinniere
a poison tip on a wired brazier
(ways of love are covert plans)
here loyalties are second guessed
and removed with extreme prejudice
(to infiltrate the everyman)
i had a bad experience with the c.i.a.
and now i'm gonna show you my feminine side
you got busted undercover for the f.b.i.
and now you're gonna show me your masculine pride
it's a covert operation and we're d.o.a.
on regulated doeses of love's cyanide
the ways of love are a dossier
of tramps and thieves and runaways
a ransom note with a price to pay
are the ways of love
the ways of love are a secret sauce
of sacrifice and grievous loss
a crown of thorns and a double cross
are the ways of love
the ways of love
the ways of love
these are the ways of love
When I first got this album and listened to this song (Christmas '03; I got alot of TST music that Christmas), I didn't like it, lyrically or musically. When I listened to it again, I latched on to the phrase "ways of love." I appreciate it much more now after repeated listenings.

This one takes a little time to grow on you. The lyrics are amazing and the play on words is some of the best Terry has done. I think you could listen to it a thousand times and still find little things that jump out at you and make you say that's cool

That's kinda funny. I liked this one from the get-go, which I got from RadRockers since the DA webstore didn't have any. Maybe I just enjoy plays on words and don't mind the weird, whereas dorf likes the weird and takes a bit to get the word plays? Anyway you look at it, it's just total brilliance and cool.
It also seems funny to me that so many like OE over ZD and at the same time like the Alarma Chronicles stuff more than the stuff after DFBB. I just don't understand that. Oh well, to each his own.

I think that if I were to hear it now for the first time it would have grabbed me sooner than the 5 or 6 listens it took. I bought it when it first came out and back then I was listening to a lot more mainstreem music

That album came out ten years ago when I was living at home. Back then I was listening to a lot of bands like Collective Soul and The Alter Boys and Uthanda and that kind of stuff. Not that I didn't have all the Terry stuff up to then but ZD was from a direction I had never heard before. The rest of the CD hit me a bit before the first song and Nightmare At The Elks Lodge did. They were slow and like a thick goo needed some time to sink into the deepest part of my brain
But, After 6 listens, I was ready for The Residents

I like Collective Soul
saw a live show- it was well done.
They threw in Revolution, and Crazy train in the songset
It was the Disciplined Breakdown tour-
I still enjoy their first three works....
"Used to be all I ever wanted to learn
was wisdom , trust and truth
but now I ever really want to learn
is forgiveness for you."
great song-
(and going the way of the Residents is good,
and ZD is great preparation........)

Well, I like that Collective Soul ARE DA fans, anyway....
Although to be fair, I've only heard the first album....

really? that is coolness!
I only knew them as Beatle and Ozzy fans.......
they are not terribly original, but theres something about their delivery thats darn catchy. plus they speak a good brand of Christianese.
I don’t believe in
The sorcerers or the preachers.
I just believe in you.
And I don’t believe in
The scholars or wise men.
I just believe in you.
sounds a lot like
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've listened to people-
who make their own rules..

Either there or the Alarma Chronicles booklet. Have definitely seen the reference before.
