Odelay Lyrics from Beck
The song below is called Lord Only Knows. It'd be interesting to hear any interpretations of these lyrics... pretty abstract. I've been listening to this album a lot lately - it is great. It actually won Rolling Stone album of the year back some time ago. The best line is this:
Going back to Houston
Do the hot dog dance
Going back to Houston
To get me some pants.....
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!You only got one finger leftAnd it's pointing at the doorAnd you're taking for grantedWhat the Lord's made on the floorSo I'm picking up the piecesAnd I'm putting them up for saleThrow your meal ticket out the windowPut your skeletons in jail'Cause Lord only knows it's getting lateYour senses are gone so don't you hesitateTo give yourself a call let your bottom dollars fallThrowing your two bit cares down the drainInvite me to the seven seas like some seasick manYou will do whatever you please and I'll do whatever I canTitanic, fare thee well, my eyes are turning pinkDon't call us when the new age gets old enough to drink'Cause Lord only knows it's getting lateYour senses are gone so don't you hesitateMove on up the hill there's nothing dead left to killThrowing your two bit cares down the drainOdelay, odelay, odelay, odealy odelay, odelayJust passing throughOdelay, odelay, odelay, odealyGoing back to HoustonDo the hot dog danceGoing back to HoustonTo get me some pants.....
