wait

i forgot the lyrics. isn't that a show now? don't forget the words, or something like that. some sort of a karaoke competition "reality show". probably on fox. anyway, i seem to have committed the titular error in my last post. here they are, context be damned. if you are unfamiliar with the must to these words, i strongly advise you to fix that problem, for problem it is.

Any news was good news
And the feeling was bad at home
I was out of mind and you
Were on the phone
Lonnie was the kingpin
Back in nineteen sixty-five
I was singing this song
When lonnie came alive

Bring back the boston rag
Tell all your buddies
That it aint no drag
Bring back the boston rag

You were lady bayside
There was nothing that I could do
So I pointed my car down
Seventh avenue
Lonnie swept the playroom
And he swallowed up all he found
It was forty-eight hours til
Lonnie came around

Bring back the boston rag
Tell all your buddies
That it aint no drag
Bring back the boston rag

it does lose something with the music missing, but i think even more without the backing vocals like "bring it back bring it back now" and "you'd better bring on home" during various choruses. if you bothered to read the fagan link from the real post from today, you already know the background of the idea for this song. if you didn't bother, seriously, just read it, you're trying to kill time, aren't you:? good choice, best seller.
i have been on an inexcusable steely dan advocacy rage, and i don't really understand it. proclaiming the virtues to people who neither know or care. in the words of the hippo: "jimi hendrix said music is my religion/ and that's the only one i understand". can't really link their lyrics just yet. that song also contains one of the most notorious pair of lines to my mind: "i read the good book/ before i used all the papers". i knew a dude who rolled cigs with pages of a copy of the book of mormon (spell check wants it capitalized, interesting). mostly, right now, it is taking serious restraint to refrain from appending the words to "my old school" as well.
