Explain to her your weakness so she understands, and then roll over and die
You can brave decisions, before you crumble up inside
Spend your time asking everyone else's permission, then run away and hide
Or you can sit on chimneys, put some fire up your ass
No need to know what you're doing or waiting for, but if anyone should ask
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins and we've been hanging out
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins and relieve us our doubt
La la la la la la la...
Oh you can hold her eggs, but your basket has a hole
You can lie between her legs and go looking for, tell her you're searching for her soul
You can wait for ages, watch your compost turn to coal
Time is contagious, everybody's getting old
So you can sit on chimneys, put some fire up your ass
No need to know what you're doing or looking for, but if anyone should ask
Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins and we've been hanging out
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins and relieve us our doubt
La la la la la la la...
Damien George Rice (born 7 December 1973) is an Irish musician, singer and songwriter. He began his career as a member of the 1990s rock group Juniper, who were signed to Polygram Records in 1997. The band enjoyed moderate success in Ireland with two released singles, "The World is Dead" and "Weatherman". After leaving the band in 1998, Rice worked as a farmer in Tuscany and busked throughout Europe before returning to Ireland in 2001 and beginning a solo career. The rest of Juniper went on to perform under the name Bell X1.
In 2002, Rice released his debut album, O. It reached No. 8 on the UK Albums Chart, won the Shortlist Music Prize, and generated three top 30 singles in the UK. He released his second album, 9, in 2006. After eight years of various collaborations, Rice released his third studio album, My Favourite Faded Fantasy, in 2014. He has contributed music to charitable projects such as Songs for Tibet, the Enough Project, and the Freedom Campaign.
Ask The Beatles (Hey Jude) or Simon & Garfunkel (The Boxer).
for the love of god....
Normally I would agree, but I'm not sure that more lyrics like these would help.
Gotta whole-heartedly agree.
And what is coconut-skin?
Not that I have no idea - but given the medium age
of our female-listeners - I keep mouth shut!
SONG means absolutely nothing to me!
With and without coconuts!
Geecheeboy - having surveyed Excelsior's top rated songs - he seems to have found a pretty solid RP selection that he likes. He's just more vocal than most of the stuff he doesn't like. Keep cool Geecheeboy!!
I think the thing that keeps you, Excelsior and me coming back is the pure variety - its not always what we like, but Bill provides a balance of comfort and pure surprises that allows us to all to put RP on the top of the list of "stations" we play.
nice art work ........8. :o)~ Connecticut.
Gotta whole-heartedly agree.
