"Will you still have a song to sing"

[Itascapark]

RAZOR BOY

I hear you are singing a song of the past
I see no tears
I know that you know it may be the last
For many years
You'd gamble or give anything
To be in with the better half
But how many friends must I have
To begin with to make you laugh
CHORUS:
Will you still have a song to sing
When the razor boy comes
And take your fancy things away
Will you still be singing it
On that cold and windy day

You know that the coming is so close at hand
You feel all right
I guess only women in cages can stand
This kind of night
I guess only women in cages
Can play down
The things they lose
You think no tomorrow will come
When you lay down
You can't refuse

1. Followed by "Show Biz Kids"

"Show business kids
Making movies of themselves
You know they don't give a fuck
About anybody else

You know you go to..."

2. Jack of Speed

JACK OF SPEED

Teddy's rolling now most every night
Skatin' backwards at the speed of light
He's changed - in a thousand little ways
He's changed - yes indeed
You know he's movin' on metal, yes he's
Hanging tight with the Jack of Speed

Sheena's party - there's a case in point
That right-wing hooey sure stunk up the joint
He's gone - he walks through the old routines
But he's gone - guaranteed
He may be sittin' in the kitchen, but he's
Steppin' out with the Jack of Speed

You maybe got lucky for a few good years
But there's no way back from there to here
He's a one way rider
On the shriek express
And his new best friend is at the throttle more or less

He can't hear you honey - that's alright
Pack some things and head up into the light
Don't stop - he'll be callin' out your name
But don't stop when you hear him plead
You better move now little darlin' or you'll be
Trading fours with the Jack of Speed

[Richardo]

3. I like that one from "Two Against Nature" but I like the title song best..

...especially the squeaky sax solo in the intro. :thumbsup:

4. The squeaky sax is the best...

almost as good as their nod to Coltrane in "Everything Must Go"

on edit: Listening "King if the World" now...

[Richardo]

5. "Smoking cobalt cigarettes..."

One of my favorite lyrics ever.

I'm envious, Itascapark! :)

6. Use to Live in Los Alamos

I don't want your bread
I don't need your helping hand
I can't be no savage
I can't be no highwayman
Show me where you are
You and I will spend this day
Driving in my car
Through the ruins of Santa Fe

It's a beautiful song...
