This song is in B Flat… Guts

Author:

The bugger in the short sleeves f**ked my wife

Did it quick and split

Back home, fresh as a daisy to maisy, oh maisy

And the twelve-bore it stood in the corner

Quite operatic in it’s self disgust

It blew him all over the living room floor

Like parrot shit, parrot spit, parrot shit was shot

Now suppose it was someone familiar

Someone we all would know

Embarrasing denouement, ne c’est pas?

Familiar hyperbole

And there would go the secret plot

The piss had missed the hole in the pot

Like that ancient teenage dream

From soul to poison soul to poison soul

Guts, guts, got no guts

And stitches don’t help at all

Guts, guts, got no guts

Holes in the body, holes in the legs

Holes in the forehead, holes in the head

Holes in the body, holes in the legs

There should never be holes at all

There should never be holes at all

So: kill all you want or more

Make sure, do it right

Dead is dead, and door nails forget

And then you’ll notice

How the waster and the wasted

Get to look like one another

In the end, in the end

In the end, in the end

In the end, in the end

In the end, in the end

  1. @AagePK: Jeg går ind for skolemestre. Der er mere brug for den end nogensinde! (Min datter brokker sig ofte over mine belæringer, men det må hun finde sig i).

  2. Rigtigt nok, det var bare anjoe’s formulering:”alderen flyver afsted..” Den gamle skolemester har ikke lagt uvanerne pÃ¥ hylden endnu, sorry.

  3. @usling: London Calling har jeg heldigvis været omkring. Alligevel – 30 Ã¥r. Det, føles som var det i gÃ¥r.

    @AagePK: Jeg har aldrig rigtig kunnet affinde mig med talemÃ¥derne “tiden gÃ¥r hurtigt” og “livet er kort”. Livet har den længde, det nu har, og tidsfornemmelsen er noget meget subjektivt. Har man et interessant liv, sÃ¥ oplever man at tiden flyver. Men keder man sig, sÃ¥ stÃ¥r tiden stille. Tiden som subjektiv elastik.

  4. @anjoe: Ja, livet er kort, selv på de længste dage, som Mellemcamp skriver. Tommy 40 år. Der må være basis for noget skriveri.

  5. Og i dag er det 40 Ã¥r siden, at The Who berigede os med “Tommy”…
    SUK, alderen flyver sgu’ da bare afsted, hva’ Capac 😀
