My wife and I were cuddlin'
As we watched somethin' befuddlin'
It was Extreme Knitting on ESPN
And when we started some caressin'
And segued into molestin'
I suggested we should go upstairs right then
But she said "There's just one hurdle,
"You're a fair bit too damned fertile
"Do you nae remember when our son was born?
"I was poppin' my lo-ovrum,
"You were wearin' eight-ply Trojans
"But I still wound up a-hurlin' in the morn!"

Li di di...

I groveled and I pleaded,
For 'twas lovin' that I needed
And no self-induced relievin' would suffice
But she wouldn't give me one kiss,
Said "My oven must stay bunless
"And until that's not a danger, let's play nice"
I said "That's all well and neato,
"But tell that to my libido
"It's still indicatin' true magnetic north!"
She said, "Better put some ice on,
"I won't look at that thing twice un-
"-til you set upon the plan that I'll lay forth!"

And she told me 'bout a doctor in Rochester
An old surgeon by the name of Doctor Stopp
And if I went to him the next day with my fifty-dollar copay
He'd curtail our family lineage with a chop

And I said, "I swear to you, my lover, that my heart longs for no other
"And that from your side I've got no cause to roam
"And if the ring upon my finger doesn't prove to you my love
"Then the scar upon my nuts should drive it home, drive it home
"Oh, the scar upon my nuts should drive it home"


Well, with that my fate was written,
I was in his office sittin'
With some nervous men with legs crossed o'er their parts
The whole room was decorated
With a look that could be dated
To when ABBA was still burnin' up the charts
The patient just before me
Came a-lumberin' out quite sorely
From the room where I assumed the deed was done
And although I'd been informed
A quick recov'ry was the norm
I still took note he wasn't doin' cartwheel one

Li di di...

The doctor came in swiftly
And he asked me for my history
As he prodded at the junk beneath my jeans
He said "Have ye any questions?"
I said "Nay, sir, I'm all set
"As long as there's good drugs and big high-tech machines"
He said "T'aint no nucl'ar fission,
"Just a quarter-inch incision
"And a slice from out the tubes beneath your meat
"Then I'll stitch 'er up and mend 'er,
"For a week ye'll be quite tender
"And then no more shall your sack be packin' heat"

He pronounced me a fit candidate for surg'ry
And he scheduled me for slashin' one week hence
And at home my wife was waitin' for to be brought up to date on
All the progress of the plunderin' in my pants

And I said, "I swear to you, my lover, that my heart longs for no other
"And that from your side I've got no cause to roam
"And if the ring upon my finger doesn't prove to you my love
"Then the scar upon my nuts should drive it home, drive it home
"Oh, the scar upon my nuts should drive it home"


On the morn of the procedure
I'd been told to shave my features
In a place for which no razor is contoured
And my wife suggested after
She'd choked back most of her laughter
That I probably should've practiced on a gourd
As the slicing hour drew near,
I began to shake with fear
But my wife said "Darlin', there's no need to whine
"You'll recall, for what it's worth,
"I didn't cry when I gave birth"
And I said "That's because they numbed your fuckin' spine!"

Li di di...

They marched me to my room,
Where I stripped down to face the doom
Of my infinite potential gals and gents
I said "Will it still feel good when I make love or wax my wood?"
And he said "You won't notice a vas deferens"
On the table I was laid,
In the air my legs were splayed
While the doctor scrubbed my bits for the attack
And I'll tell ya, lads and ladies,
They can numb you half to Hades
You still know when there's a knife stuck in your sack
My wife drove me home at thirteen miles an hour
While I sat there with my teeth deep in my lip
And although it's been years past,
I could still draw for ye if asked
A map of every fucking bump along the trip

And I said, "I swear to you, my lover, that my heart longs for no other
"And that from your side I've got no cause to roam
"And if the ring upon my finger doesn't prove to you my love
"Then the scar upon my nuts should drive it home, drive it home
"Oh, the scar upon my nuts should drive it home"


Well, two years have come and gone now since that mornin'
When the doctor did to me...the thing he did
And just yesterday my bride, looked to me all twinkly-eyed
And said "Y'know, I've been thinking...maybe we should have...another kid?"

And I said, "I swear to you, my lover, that my heart longs for no other
"And that from your side I've had no cause to roam
"But if one scar on my nuts doesn't prove to you my love
"You can get your fickle ass from out my home, out my home
"You can get your fickle ass from out my home!"

Ow.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
