Modest Mouse – The Good Times are Killing Me

Biisin nimi kertonee oleellisimman sisällöstä. Aika päheet sanat itse asiassa. Tossa on paljon hienoja laineja… esmes toi ”Have one, have twenty more ”one mores” and oh it does not relent.”

”The good times are killing me.
Here we go!

Got dirt, got air, got water and I know you can carry on.
Shrug off shortsighted false excitement and oh what can I say?
Have one, have twenty more ”one mores” and oh it does not relent.

The good times are killing me.

Kick butt buzz-cut dickheads
who didn’t like what I said.
The good times are killing me.
Jaws clenched tight we talked all night,
oh but what the hell did we say?
The good times are killing me.

Fed up with all that LSD.
Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamines.
Late nights with warm, warm whiskey.
I guess the good times they were all just killing me.

Got dirt, got air, got water and I know you can carry on.
The good times are killing me.
Enough hair of the dog to make myself an entire rug.
The good times are killing me.
Have one, have twenty more ”one mores” and oh it does not relent.
The good times are killing me.
Shit-kicker city slickers who all wanted me dead.
The good times are killing me.

Get sucked in and stuck in late nights
with more folks that I don’t know.
The good times are killing me.”

The Pretty Things – L.S.D.

”Everybody’s talking, about my LSD
I say talk is easy, and moneys never free

LSD

But I always tell them
Life it ain’t so black
For everything I’m given
Somethings taken back

LSD
Yes I need LSD

It hasn’t got a care
He might be going fast
But is he going anywhere?”

Porcupine Tree – Linton Samuel Dawson

Biisi on hyvin varhaista Porcupine Treen tuotantoa. Taitaa olla bändin ensimmäiseltä EP:ltä. Biisin nimen etukirjaimista muodostuu LSD ja kyllähän tämä trippailevasta kaverista kertookin.

”Linton Samuel Dawson
Lives in inner space
He hangs around with a circus troupe
Outside the human race

Linton Samuel Dawson
Has just reached 25
Artists travel from outside time
Just to see his rainbow jive

He’s bored, He’s bored.

Linton Samuel Dawson
Yields his knowledge in a phial
A vivid play on an emerald day
I s experienced in his smile

Linton Samuel Dawson
Visits many open minds
He aids escape to tranquility
From the boredom of mankind

Boredom. From the boredom.
From the boredom of mankind.”

Mary Magdalan – Rehab

Biisi kertoo kaverista, joka käyttää tasan kaikkea mitä löytyy ja enemmän.

”I can’t help but to help myself I’m losing my mind I need help
filling my mind with doubt I’d do anything to get out”

Mana Mana – Liisa

Liisa hieman trippailee.

”Metallin makua
Minä tunnen sen
Ilman värinää
Olen nähnyt ennenkin
Värejä
Minä sekoitan ne
Ääniä
Minä sekoitan ne

Liisa sateessa Doorsia kuuntelee
Liisa sateessa Doorsia kuuntelee”

John Butler Trio – Used to Get High

Vaikka biisissä mainitaa iso litania huumeita, niin varsinaiselta sanomaltaan tämä taitaa olla enemmän yhteiskuntakriittinen laulu, siitä miten me kaikki kuljemme kuin pässit yhteiskunnan narussa.

”Super size, large fries, big mac, coca cola
Go on man, pick your poison
Speed, weed, ecstacy, LSD
Man, it don’t bother me cos we’re all on something
Caffeine, cigarettes, alcohol
You know i’m clawing at the walls trying to get my fix
Prozac, ADD tablets, coke, smack
Now you know i am turning tricks cos”

Hot Hot Heat – JFK’s LSD

Tuota… kertoisiko joku, mistä tässä on kysymys :-D

”Let the people think you’re hiding something
better than what you got, it sure beats hiding nothing
Paranoid? you can’t blame me it’s just JFK’s LSD
we signed a waiver now we’re testing, testing, 123”
