Fuckin' amazing song.

The band says it's the best on OK Computer, despite being recorded two years earlier. Johnny is too amazing.

Thinkin' one thing and doin' another

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

What a great Dylan tune! One of my favorites
someday monkey won't play piano song, play piano song

Hate me, do it and do it again.
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start,
For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art.
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange -
Making life-size models of The Velvet Underground in clay.

In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite,
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight.
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk,
While your cleaning up the mess the teachers looking up your skirt...

My Sweet Lord
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died(*)

So, bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Now do you believe in rock and roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But, that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lennon read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
Landed flat on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died
We started singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was [Spoken]
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

They were singin'
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Amazing lyrics from Ray:

Like a seed that is sewn
All the children are scattered
By a breeze that is blown
Now the crops are all scattered
We are torn, we are shattered
Now some of us are barmy and battered
And the fields where we gathered
Are overgrown in weeds and in tatters
Through it all we were scattered

To the fields we are scattered
From the day we are born
To grow wild and sleep rough
Till from the earth we are torn
And a soul that is free
Can live on eternally
And the spirit can live on
Though it's scattered in the world beyond
And I've been out of my mind
Ever since she's been gone

I look around that empty room
No sight nor sound
She's left so soon
She's out of view
But the I find
Those scattered clues she left behind
A photograph with a smiling face
A cigarette stubbed out on the fireplace
A coffee cup with her lipstick stains
I guess I'll never see her again

Now my life is all scattered
Ever since she's been gone
I feel older, I feel fatter
I feel the blues coming on
We get bruised
We get battered
But we'll pick up the pieces that scattered
And with emotional glue
We're gonna stick together, body and mind

Ever since she went away
I've been alone to contemplate
Time and space and why world's move
While sitting in my solitude
I've watched the stars and wondered why
They're scattered up there in the sky
And is she up there out of view
On some higher platitude

I wish I knew
Wish I could prove
The reason why this life on earth
Is scattered like the universe
I'm scattered here and scattered there
Bits of me scattered everywhere

To the fields we are scattered
Then from the dust we are born
We survive somewhat battered
To a new life, a new dawn
IN the end what will it matter
There'll only be my ashes to scatter
And all the logical answers
To a worrying mind
Will be scattered in time
Beaten and battered
To the earth you are scattered
You're going home so what does it matter
To an atomic mind
Scattered here while you travel time

I took a book and went into the forest.
I climbed the hill, I wanted to look down on you.
But all I saw was twenty miles of wilderness,
So I went home.

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
A job that slowly kills you,
Bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired - unhappy..
Bring down the government,
They don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
A handshake of carbon monoxide.

With no alarms and no surprises,
No alarms and no surprises,
No alarms and no surprises,
Silent..... silent.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache...

With no alarms and no surprises,
No alarms and no surprises,
No alarms and no surprises.. please.

Such a pretty house,
And such a pretty garden....

No alarms and no surprises,
No alarms and no surprises,
No alarms and no surprises...... please.

When I'm feeling blue
I stick a pin in the picture of you
Beside my bed and I feel better
When I'm feeling sad
I remember that you were the worst lay I ever had
And I feel better

Don't you try to tell me
That I'm to blame
You're the one that ought to feel ashamed
You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed
You didn't even know the fella's name

When I'm feeling down
I just throw the clothes that you left here around
And I feel better

When I'm feeling great
It's only because I'm consumed with hate
For you and I feel better

Don't you try to tell me that I'm to blame
When you're the one that ought to feel ashamed
You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed
You didn't even know the fella's name

When I'm in the mood
I shout all the swear words that you thought were rude
And I feel better

When I feel alone
I make obscene remarks on the telephone
To you and I feel better

Don't you try to tell me that I'm to blame
When you're the one that ought to feel ashamed
You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed
You didn't even know the fella's name

(Guitar solo)

When I'm feeling blue
I stick a pin in the picture of you
Beside my bed and I feel better
When I'm feeling sad
I remember that you were the worst lay I ever had
And I feel better

Don't you try to tell me that I'm to blame
When you're the one that ought to feel ashamed
You can't keep an animal that ain't been tamed
You didn't even know the fella's name

Half a mile from the county fair
The rain came pouring down
Me and Billy standing there
With a silver half a crown

So we put our fishing rods
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there getting wet
With our backs against the fence

Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
I hope it don't rain all day

Chorus
And it stoned my to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me

The rain let up, and the sun came out
And we were gettin' dry
Almost glad a pickup truck
Nearly passed us by

So we jumped on in, gave the driver a grin
And he dropped us up the road
And we looked at the swim, and we jumped back in
Not to mention fishing poles

Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Let it run all over me

[chorus]

We sang a song as we walked along
We were getting dry
We saw the man from across the road
With the sunshine in his eye

And he lived all alone in his own little home
With a great big gallon jar
There was bottles two, one for me and you
And he said, "Hey, there you are"

Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream

[chorus]
[chorus]

Hate me, do it and do it again.
His father was a drinker,
And his mother cried in bed.
Folding John Wayne's T-shirts,
When the swingset hit his head.
The neighbors they adored him,
For his humor and his conversation.
Look underneath the house there,
Find the few living things..
Rotting fast in their sleep of the dead.
Twenty-seven people, even more,
They were boys with their cars, summer jobs,
Oh my God...

Are you one of them..?

He dressed up like a clown for them,
With his face paint white and red.
And on his best behavior,
In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all.
He'd kill ten thousand people,
With a sleight of his hand,
Running far, running fast to the dead.
He took of all their clothes for them,
He put a cloth on their lips,
Quiet hands, quiet kiss,
On the mouth...

...And in my best behavior,
I am really just like him.
Look beneath the floorboards,
For the secrets I have hid...

Would you like to go with me
Down my dead end street
Would you like to come with me
To Village Ghetto Land

See the people lock their doors
While robbers laugh and steal
Beggars watch and eat their meal - from garbage cans

Broken glass is everywhere
It's a bloody scene
Killing plagues the citizens
Unless they own police

Children play with rusted cars
Sores cover their hands
Politicians laugh and drink - drunk to all demands

Families buying dog food now
Starvation roams the streets
Babies die before they're born
Infected by the grief

Now some folks say that we should be
Glad for what we have
Tell me would you be happy in Village Ghetto Land
