Frankenstein, 1931

What do you want of me
What do you long from me
A slim Pixie, thin and forlorn
A count, white and drawn
What do you make of me
What can you take from me
Pallid landscapes off my frown
Let me rip you up and down

For you I came to forsake
Lay wide despise and hate
I sing of you in my demented songs
For you and your stimulations
Take what you can of me
Rip what you can off me
And this I'll say to you
And hope that it gets through

You worthless bitch
You fickle shit
You will spit on me
You will make me spit
And when the Judas howl arise
And like the Jesus Jews you epitomize
I'll still be here as strong as you
And I'll walk away in spite of you

And I'll walk away
Away
Walk away
[repeat]

The Spy In The Cab

Bauhaus

From the album In the Flat Field, 1980

 

Hidden in the dashboard
The unseen mechanised eye
Under surveillance
The road is full of cats eyes
It's sick function to pry
The spy in the cab

Coldly observing - callously reserving
A drivers time
Automated autonomy
Playing on his mind
The spy in the cab

The spy in the cab

An eye for an eye
A spy for an eye
An eye for an eye
A spy for a spy

A twenty-four hour unblinking watch
Installed to pry
Installed to cop
The spy in the cab
The spy in the cab
The spy in the cab

I spy with my little eye spy with my little I spy with my
Little eye spy with my little I spy...spy...spy

God forgives...I don't!

A couple of Spaghetti Westerns I was inspired to watch recently...

Hutch Bessy (Bud Spencer), an insurance investigator, and his gunslinger partner, Cat Stevens (Terence Hill), go on the hunt for Bill, hoping to retrieve the loot. Unfortunately, outlaws take Hutch and Cat prisoner. Cat manages to get away and saves Hutch's life." (Wikipedia).

You'd Be Surprised

Written by Irving Berlin in 1919

Sung by Madeline Kahn at Carnegie Hall in 1988 for Berlin's 100 Birthday Celebration

[1st verse:]

Johnny was bashful and shy

Nobody understood why

Mary loved him

All the other girls passed him by

Ev'ryone wanted to know

How she could pick such a beau

With a twinkle in her eye

She made this reply

[1st refrain:]

He's not so good in a crowd but when you get him alone

You'd be surprised

He isn't much at a dance but then when he takes you home

You'd be surprised

He doesn't look like much of a lover

But don't judge a book by it's cover

He's got the face of an Angel

But there's a Devil in his eye

He's such a delicate thing but when he starts in to squeeze

You'd be surprised

He doesn't look very strong but when you sit on his knee

You'd be surprised

At a party or at a ball

I've got to admit that he's nothing at all

But in a morris chair

You'd be surprised

[2nd verse:]

Mary continued to praise

Johnny's remarkable ways

To the ladies

And you know advertising pays

Now Johnny's never alone

He has the busiest phone

Almost ev'ry other day

A new girl will say

[2nd refrain:]

He's not so good in the house but on a bench in the park

You'd be surprised

He isn't much in the light but when he gets in the dark

You'd be surprised

I know he looks as slow as the Erie

But you don't know the half of it, dearie

He looks as cold as an Eskimo

But there's fire in his eyes

He doesn't say very much but when he starts in to speak

You'd be surprised

He's not so good at the start but at the end of the week

You'd be surprised

On a streetcar or in a train

You'd think he was born without any brain

But in a taxicab

You'd be surprised
