“Something Is Squeezing My Skull”
Im doing very well
I can block out the present and the past now
I know by now you think
I should have straightened myself out
Thank you, drop dead
Oh, something is squeezing my skull
Something I can barely describe
There is no love in modern life
Im doing very well
Its a miracle I even made this far
The motion of taxis excites me
When you peel it back and bite me
Oh, something is squeezing my skull
Something I can barely describe
There is no hope in modern life
Oh, something is squeezing my skull
Something I cant fight
No true friends in modern life
Diazepam...that's Valium...temazepam...lithium
HRT...ECT...how long must I stay on this stuff?
Don't give me any more
Don't give me any more
Don't give me any more
Don't give me any more
You swore you would not give me any more
Don't give me any more
Don't give me any more
Don't give me any more
You swore...
You swore...
You swore...

This reads like one of yours, I thought it was until I got a bit further down. Maybe I should call you Mozzer
The lanes were silent
There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
I doused our friendly venture
With a hard-faced
Three-word gesture
YOU started something...
That forced me to a state
Where I'd have loved to go
But not in that state.

Raelha, thanks for the compliment.
Actually I like this album more the more I listen to it - it has a catchy, driven feeling to it with some spaghetti western (the drums, maraccas, and horns) thrown in. And a couple slow ballads that were almost cool until he ruins them with juvenile lyrics.
No, it will never be amongst my favourites, but it's not the complete bust I thought when I first heard it, though it does make me wonder if the old geezer has an actual good album left in him anymore.
My instincts tell me no, which is sad for me personally. He's given us such great, mournful, literate, and hilarious stuff for so many years, it's tough to watch the well run dry.
my favorite color was not on the list so I couldn't vote in your poll
That's why it says 'favorite color listed'
