7. ME 262 by Blue Oyster Cult-an ode to a German fighter plane from WWII
Edited on Sat Mar-29-08 08:27 PM by irkthesmirk
I'm not a fan of the German war effort per se but the lyrics are truly imaginative!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI-z64G3tvU

Goering's on the phone from Freiburg
Says Willie's done quite a job
Hitler's on the phone from Berlin
Says I'm gonna make you a star

My Captain Von Ondine is your next patrol
A flight of English bombers across the canal
After twelve they'll all be here
I think you know the job

They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die

In a G-load disaster from the rate of climb
Sometimes I'd faint and be lost to our side
But there's no reward for failure - but death
So watch me in mirrors keep in the glidepath

Get me through these radars, no, I cannot fail
While my great silver slugs are eager to feed
I can't fail - No, not now
When twenty five bombers wait ripe

They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die

Me-262 prince of turbojet
Junker's Jumo 004
Blasts from clustered R4M quartets in my snout
And see these English planes go burn

Well, you be my witness, how red were the skies
When the fortresses flew for the very last time
It was dark over Westphalia
In April of '45

They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these Englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die

Must these Englishmen live that I might die...Junker's jommo 004

Bombers at 12 o'clock high

8. "The Myth Is Real....Let's Eat" by Jello Biafra and Nomeansno
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5482676010033805272&q=The+myth+is+real+lets+eat&total=10&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0

In San Francisco you can be mayor at 18
But ya gotta be 26 to drive a cab

What goes on
Is not what we're told to see

Patrick Henry said "Give me liberty or death"
At the time he owned 65 slaves

The myth is real - Let's eat

Fake patriots say you can't burn the flag
But guess who whines the most
'bout having to pay taxes
To their country?

Decay
Decline
Cover up
Refine
Dow Jones
Where's home
When everything we lean on
Is up for sale

Ad lady purrs, "Drink our liquor, you'll get laid"
Next billboard says, "Don't drink and drive"

What goes on is not what we're told to see

Panic! Panic! War on Drugs
But you can buy beer at gas stations

The Myth is Real - Let's Eat

Pagan priests first used perfume
To mask the smell of burning flesh
Back in ancient Rome
The statues came unscrewed
Leaders change - just replace the heads

Decay
Decline
Cover up
Refine
We are
In life
Roulette wheel
Or the ball inside

Anyone out there stopped to think
What our lives might be like today
If Karl Marx was as good a salesman
As Walt Disney

The bacon brought
You home to cook
The lobster lets
Itself get boiled
Looks too hard to climb
Out of the pot with all the crabs
Fear the unknown -
Who taught you that?

One hundred million trees a year
Get made into junk mail no one reads

What goes on is not what we're told to see

Half of all Americans don't read books
I'm one of them, but you're reading this

The Myth is Real - Let's Eat

General Robert E. Lee
Freed his slaves before Grant freed his
Brian Wilson's legs
Severed by a train
The crew sues him for stress

Levis were once made of hemp
From the marijuana plant
One acre makes four times more paper
Than an acre of trees

More protein than soy beans
Threat to logging companies
DuPont and tobacco barons
Got it banned in '37

The world is made of connections
So many sheep in wolf's clothing
Scary times are never dull
How long before our empire falls

No one wants the Pentagon
Toilets for six hundred bucks
Japanese spend twice as much
On pinball as defense

Meanwhile concerned citizens
In Albany, Oregon
Try to ban a book
'Cos it makes fun of Santa Claus

We're told 80% of people like the President in the polls
While only 15% believe he's in control
And 64% of lowans surveyed
Want to be reincarnated as themselves

Wowee...

Simply an amazing song that gets better with repeated listenings. I get something new from it every time I hear it.

13. a new fave of mine
mercury rev - in a funny way

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YpBAK0YBOY

On a summer day you can hear her call,
But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall,
On a summer day you can hear her call,
But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall,

Thru the fields an the streams an the lakes an the trees,
An the grass an the logs run all my dogs,
And I am home again

In the autumn air,
You can see her smile,
But in a funny way she reminds you of a child,

In the autumn air,
You feel her soul unfold,
And in a funny way you feel your own explode,

Thru the fields an the streams an the lakes an the trees,
An the grass an the logs run all my dogs,
And I am home again

Ahhhh Ahhhh
Ahhhh Ahhhh

On a winter day,
You can hear her call,
But in a funny way when the snow begins to fall

On a winter day,
You can hear her call,
And in a funny way,
You love her even more

Thru the fields an the streams an the lakes an the trees,
An the grass an the logs run all my dogs,
And I am home again

Thru the fields an the streams an the lakes an the trees,
An the grass an the logs run all my dogs,
And I am home again

On a summer day you can hear her call,
But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall,
On a summer day you can hear her call,
But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall
