Adjectives on the typewriter
He moves his words like a prize fighter
The frenzied pace of the mind inside the cell
The man on the street might just as well be
The man on the street might just as well
The man on the street might just as well be
Outside, outside the walls
Out there you don't hear the echoes and calls
But the steel eye, tight jaw
Say it all, say it all
But the white paint
Plastic saints
Say it all, say it all
Say it all, say it all, say it all, say it all
Say it all, Say it
Somebody has got to say it all
Somebody has got to say it all
I'm so nervous
I'm so tense
My heart can't forget about this self defense
The air is so hot
And my breath comes fast
I thumb the cool blade
But I know this can't last
(so nervous)
(so tense)
I thumb the cool blade
But I know this can't last
(so nervous)
(so tense)
Outside, outside the walls
Out there you don't hear the echoes and calls
But the steel eye, tight jaw
Say it all, say it all
But the white paint
Plastic saints
Say it all, say it all
Say it all, say it all, say it all, say it all
Say it all, say it
Somebody has got to say it all
Somebody has got to say it all
Adjectives on the typewriter
He moves his words like a prize fighter
The frenzied pace of the mind inside the cell
The man on the street might just as well be
The man on the street might just as well
The man on the street might just as well be...

| BikeCoachDave (Columbia, Ky.) | Posted: Jan 18, 2013 - 11:33 Easily my highest rated Cake song. Of course that rating is a 4, so I guess its all relative. |

| joelbb | Posted: Sep 18, 2012 - 16:42 Welcome to Geezers for Cake: LOTS of good cuts on Comfort Eagle, esp. the eponymous cut and "Girl with a Short Skirt". This one is good as well. There are LOTS of folks on this publog who don't think they're cute unless they are being snide. They're wrong: the aren't cute then, either. |
| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: Jul 17, 2012 - 18:33 Good back porch music, provided you have a 40 pounder handy. |
| RKeaton (South of Paradise) | Posted: Jul 17, 2012 - 18:32 Good track off a real good album. I prefer Symphony in C, but this is a fun one. |

| ckcotton (Adding snarky comments since 2007) | Posted: May 15, 2012 - 09:36 REALLY enjoy Cake.... this one though.... NOT so much |
| dw (PHill, CA) | Posted: Apr 03, 2012 - 16:40 I like Cake! For a "top 30" type group, they have a distinct sound and I enjoy listening to it.  |
| offroadbiker (gooder 'n grits) | Posted: Feb 10, 2012 - 06:30 Love me some Cake with my grits! |

| sdn (Philadelphia) | Posted: Mar 12, 2010 - 12:19 Okay, the whole Cake thing was fun for a while, but it's gone on way too long now. |

| Radio_Dweeb (Maryland) | Posted: Mar 30, 2009 - 09:45 Like many here never thought myself to be a Cake fan, sort of Cake indifferent. Since I began listening to RP beginning to really like them! Might have to buy an album ... |

| Null_Hypothesis (Vancouver) | Posted: Feb 26, 2009 - 21:23 they're OK, but all their songs sound the same |
| greyfin10 (Panama City, FL) | Posted: Jan 26, 2009 - 07:27 Cake constantly surprises me. Not sure why, but as a band I've never been willing to say I "like" Cake, and yet I can see their value in tidbits like this (surprise!). I've had several people tell me they're brilliant, so I'll assume I'm just missing the big picture, even though I see hints of forest through the attractive trees every occasionally. I guess its because my first few exposures to them looked like stunted scrub oaks rather than redwoods ;) Ahh, I love the smell of overused metaphor in the morning. |
| Blasserman (Banning, CA - 553 Miles S-SE of Paradise) | Posted: Sep 25, 2008 - 16:32 See, I got this album because I heard "long line of cars" on RP of course! I'll have my Cake and eat it too! |
| mongoose01ca (Terminal City, BC) | Posted: Sep 25, 2008 - 16:30 The only thing better than Cake is... ...more Cake. |
