Bob Dylan - Desolation Row (Mar 26, 2009 - 12:31) | It seemed about that long.... Blah Blah Blah.... YUCK calypsus_1 wrote:Theyre selling postcards of the hanging Theyre painting the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors The circus is in town Here comes the blind commissioner Theyve got him in a trance One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker The other is in his pants And the riot squad theyre restless They need somewhere to go As lady and I look out tonight From desolation row
Cinderella, she seems so easy It takes one to know one, she smiles And puts her hands in her back pockets Bette davis style And in comes romeo, hes moaning You belong to me I believe And someone says, youre in the wrong place, my friend You better leave And the only sound thats left After the ambulances go Is cinderella sweeping up On desolation row
Now the moon is almost hidden The stars are beginning to hide The fortunetelling lady Has even taken all her things inside All except for cain and abel And the hunchback of notre dame Everybody is making love Or else expecting rain And the good samaritan, hes dressing Hes getting ready for the show Hes going to the carnival tonight On desolation row
Now ophelia, shes neath the window For her I feel so afraid On her twenty-second birthday She already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic She wears an iron vest Her professions her religion Her sin is her lifelessness And though her eyes are fixed upon Noahs great rainbow She spends her time peeking Into desolation row
Einstein, disguised as robin hood With his memories in a trunk Passed this way an hour ago With his friend, a jealous monk He looked so immaculately frightful As he bummed a cigarette Then he went off sniffing drainpipes And reciting the alphabet Now you would not think to look at him But he was famous long ago For playing the electric violin On desolation row
Dr. filth, he keeps his world Inside of a leather cup But all his sexless patients Theyre trying to blow it up Now his nurse, some local loser Shes in charge of the cyanide hole And she also keeps the cards that read Have mercy on his soul They all play on penny whistles You can hear them blow If you lean your head out far enough From desolation row
Across the street theyve nailed the curtains Theyre getting ready for the feast The phantom of the opera A perfect image of a priest Theyre spoonfeeding casanova To get him to feel more assured Then theyll kill him with self-confidence After poisoning him with words
And the phantoms shouting to skinny girls Get outa here if you dont know Casanova is just being punished for going To desolation row
Now at midnight all the agents And the superhuman crew Come out and round up everyone That knows more than they do Then they bring them to the factory Where the heart-attack machine Is strapped across their shoulders And then the kerosene Is brought down from the castles By insurance men who go Check to see that nobody is escaping To desolation row
Praise be to neros neptune The titanic sails at dawn And everybodys shouting Which side are you on? And ezra pound and t. s. eliot Fighting in the captains tower While calypso singers laugh at them And fishermen hold flowers Between the windows of the sea Where lovely mermaids flow And nobody has to think too much About desolation row
Yes, I received your letter yesterday (about the time the door knob broke) When you asked how I was doing Was that some kind of joke? All these people that you mention Yes, I know them, theyre quite lame I had to rearrange their faces And give them all another name Right now I cant read too good Dont send me no more letters no Not unless you mail them From desolation row

Both bands kicked ass although I must say that The Cult stole the show. I was in college when both of these bands came out. Early to mid 80's. It brought back all those memories of partying to the sound of these guys till the sun came up! The birthday boy has a little (lot) of cash so he has done this every year for the last five years.

ArbiterOfGoodTaste wrote:One of the best songs of all time. Period.
Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round.
I feel numb - born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun.
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along.
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing
Hi yo I got plenty of time.
Hi yo you got light in your eyes.
And you're standing here beside me
I note the passing of time.
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight . . . say goodnight
Home - is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there.
I come home - she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place.
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time Before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be . . . where I'll be
Hi yo We drift in and out
Hi yo sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view.
I'm just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two.
Love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead.
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head Ah ooh

It was especially uplifting in the winter.
Her husband ended up being transferred to Germany, and when she left, "Island Fridays" went with her. Every time I hear this song, I think back to those times and smile.

PattonFever - "i love this song so much".
Consider that this quote is from a listener who, for better or worse, rated all Lucinda Williams songs 1. The clunkiest, sappiest, most heavy handed French horn part ever. Inexplicably, NPR uses it as a music break between news articles. I try to give Damon Gough a fair listen, because he is and has been capable of transcendence. This song, however, is base emotional pandering in my opinion. I expect more, a lot more, from such an exceptional talent. Still, a CD worth having.
i don't like lucinda, so i can't like this? please. a break is in order. if you have a problem with me, and what i like, take it to PM, rather than attempting to piously berate me in public, like a child, over something that isn't relevant. i see no correlation between lucinda williams and badly drawn boy. i didn't do anything to you. in fact, i don't think i've ever even seen your screen name before, so your attack on me came completely out of left field. please. take your soapbox, and point it somewhere else. you don't know me well enough to warrant giving me shit about my opinions, so i suggest you cease this petty garbage immediately. thank you.

When it was opening, the local TV station did an item on it on the evening news. Somebody in production must have said "just stick their latest single on the soundtrack in the background" without realizing what their current single was. So there was this lovely piece on the evening news about this great new restaurant, with "there's a rat in me kitchen, what am I gonna do?" playing in the background. I believe the restaurant closed some time ago... I'm not suggesting it was related to health and safety issues, but I know I could never bring myself to eat there after that!

but we lose people like Elliott Smith and Jeff Buckley (not to mention all that came before them)... while creatures that make up Good Charlotte, Yellow Card, Story Of The Year and countless other mall punk bands continue to crank out crap year after year after year. Wonder how many of their fans (who somehow really believe they are really "punks") have any clue who ES is?
I like Greenday and all (sometimes)... but they destroyed the world with this crap they opened the door foor.
This... on the other hand... gets an 8.6 rounded up to a 9.

Lucinda Williams - Changed the Locks (Oct 25, 2005 - 10:46) | teadye wrote: Time to turn RP off. The single most untalented performer in the playlist. I have never heard this particular song but could smell Lucinda a mile away. Oh well! Must be the fake-o Southern accent and off key pseudo country whine... Nothing worse than someone "putting on" country IMHO. I put down tools and climbed down off a ladder just to turn her off and write this complaint....

And this song sucks pretty much, btw.... :D

J.J. Cale - Guitar Man
Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing
Great sequence Bill - the guitar sound is the link for me.
The guitar on this cut helps make her sound so damn languid and sexy.
This is one of my favorites from Lucinda Williams.
The guitar work is great, she is dreadful...

Aimee Mann - The Moth (Oct 21, 2005 - 12:24) | radiojunkie wrote: I can't figure out if she was under the weather at this performance, or what, but compared to all the other recordings I've heard, on here her voice sounds thin and scratchy, and her accent and phrasing are weird. It's like she's barely the same singer, and I can't believe that her smooth and confident voice on all her other recordings has been the result of some kind of studio wizardry. Hasn't anybody else noticed this?
I agree

Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke (Oct 21, 2005 - 12:06) | Wow, sounds like I'm at a cheezy wedding reception or somebody's bad family get-together with an old fart DJ...

Blind Melon - Tones of Home (Oct 21, 2005 - 11:36) | damien wrote: Such an under rated band of the nineties. It was so unfortuante when Shannon Hoon died, and it barely got a two inch column in the papers & music rags, MTV just about mentioned it on their 'news'
Yet, Cobain - do I even need to go there? He is STILL appearing on the covers of magazines! I don't care how great Kurts music was (I agree that it was) he killed himself, he did it on purpose! I would love to see where Blind Melon would be right now.

Aimee Mann - Save Me (Oct 07, 2005 - 17:42) | Not sure that I like the live & mumbled version as well as the beautiful original that displays her irreplacable vocal talent...

Hey, that's not such a bad idea... Maybe the neighborhoods would be a bit less uptight!!!!

Sufjan Stevens - Chicago (Oct 07, 2005 - 09:12) | Given the variety of songs that RP covers, I hear this bloody song way too much. I almost want to rate it a 1 out of spite....

Mumbo Gumbo - Love Makes Me Stupid (Oct 04, 2005 - 11:41) | The CD cover artist must have been the same one as Aimee Mann's I'm with Stupid..... Creativity, Coicidence or just stupidity ????

Over the Rhine - Bluer (Aug 02, 2005 - 10:38) | A barely tolerable slow stupid hick-song. Sounds like Lucinda Williams on 'ludes.

Tom Petty - American Girl (Aug 02, 2005 - 08:11) | If I wanted to hear this over-played DORF, I would listen to the FM radio. I'm disappointed to hear this on RP...

Cracker - Loser (Jul 15, 2005 - 10:04) | dadofsammy wrote: Merits a 9 on the song alone.... Lucky for them, as I agree- a 3 is about their ability to cover it. Makes me want to break out the Dead to remind myself of why I love the song.
