Primitive Radio Gods - "Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth with Money"
Story of my life! LOL
Funny you should mention that one........I was digging on it recently, it was a perfect soundtrack for the situation.
I really really get into a few certain, select pop songs, and that is definitely one of my faves. I really like the lyrics to that one, the whole "
been downhearted baby.....ever since the day we met" chorus, and the "
wade like lions through the crest and bathe ourselves in zebra flesh" line, and the line "
Mother Theresaa's joined the mob/unhappy with her fulltime job". Great fucking song........
Since we're (or at least I am) on the subject of radio hits, here's a select bit of what I was listening to in my dopesick- (and then methadone-) induced insomnia (damn but dope fucking energizes me. I usually just bear through the occasional days when I can't score, and a day off the shit doesn't really bother me. Last night, though, was pretty fucking rough, at least 'til my pal SuperJew laid a few 10mg methadone tabs on me. ) So anyway, I was up all night, listening to FM radio (all over the fucking dial), and here's some of the shit I listened to:
Steely Dan--"My Old School"
Wolfmother--"Woman"
The Verve--"Bittersweet Symphony" (fuck Andrew Loog Oldham, that's a fucking great song ....SEE SECOND PARAGRAPH)
Coldplay--"Clocks" (The fact that Froderick likes other songs by these guys is the sure tip-off that he's gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but "Clocks" is the only song by them that doesn't register really high on the ghey-ometer. This is also another example of the cheesy pop songs for which I have an affinity.)
The Fixx--"One Thing Leads To Another" (this, and "Saved By Zero" are even more examples of the aforementioned pop song fetish. Great songs.)
Nirvana--"Heart-Shaped Box", "Serve The Servants" (OK, so "Servants" wasn't on the radio, it was on a CD player. The first song inspired me tho throw on
In Utero, but the damn thing kept skipping, so I went back to the radio)
Lynyrd Skynyrd--"That Smell" (oh Hell fucking yeah!!)
Jerry Garcia--"The Wheel"
Queen & David Bowie--"Under Pressure"
Stone Roses--"Love Spreads"
The Who--"Love, Reign O'er Me"
