| Clutch – Mr. Shiny Cadillackness Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I did get these off the website, so any fuck ups are the websites fault. Neil wrote the lyrics down, and changed some during recording. He just forgot to change them on the lyric sheets before he sent them to the web master. According to the message board anyways. |

| Clutch – Mr. Shiny Cadillackness Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
From www.pro-rock.com: "Some people don't like politics in their songs. I don't either. But some characters loom so large in our lives that they are fair game to be used as fodder for creating fictions. Both Bryan and Eric strong-armed themselves onto tape yet again." |

| Clutch – Black Umbrella Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
From www.pro-rock.com: "In Sauget, Illinois there is a club called Pop's. It's on a lawless piece of land with 24 hour strip bars and an O.T.B. I once went into the O.T.B. facility and saw the strangest collection of people one could imagine. It was Mos Eisley spaceport. A woman dressed like she had come straight from a jazz funeral walked in and no one seemed to notice her but myself. I guess anomaly is typical in Sauget. Eric plays on this track as well." |

| Clutch – Opossum Minister Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
From www.pro-rock.com: "In the early 1980s' my family lived in a typically terrible pre-planned suburban development called Montgomery Village. Our house bordered a historical town called Prathertown. Prathertown was a freetown and I went to school with some Prathers. In the back end of Prathertown there was a lady who lived in a dilapidated home. She had cut outs of wild boars with bloody tusks on her roof, two impossibly colossal rocking chairs, and a collection of saints in her front yard. It was the house we all walked by a bit quicker." |

| Clutch – When Vegans Attack Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
From www.pro-rock.com: I got no problems with vegans. Let's be clear on that. But have you ever met someone who has concocted his or her own convenient first-world philosophy? Cherry picked all those bits of radicalism that appealed to them and threw out the ugly bits? Someone who thinks they're enlightened but are really jut a victim of the own peer driven self-congratulatory bullshit? I have. There's lots of those types in Washington D.C." |

From www.pro-rock.com: "Read Russel Hoban's 'Riddley Walker.' It'll explain everything." |

| Clutch – One Eye Dollar (Beale Street Version) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
From www.pro-rock.com: "When we were touring we got in the habit of jamming Electric Worry straight into One Eye Dollar. We tried to write a new tune that would do the same trick, but nothing was as good. So we said screw it, let's just track it again. I was never happy with the lyrics on the original version, so this was a good opportunity to do some editing." |
|
| Clutch – Child Of The City Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
From www.pro-rock.com: "Some say Johannes Trithemius was a magician. Others believe he disguised his science and steganography inside a magical guise as an example of its practical application. Whatever the case, it's good material for rock and roll lyrics." |

| Clutch – White's Ferry Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
From www.pro-rock.com: "Every once in a while I go out on a drive through some old country roads in Maryland and Virginia. One of these routes goes over the Potomac via White's Ferry. This song is about some of the sights and experiences of one particular drive in September of 2006. Bryan Hinkley from Never Got Caught does the duel lead with Tim on this one, as well as wee tasty bits throughout." |
|
| Clutch – The Devil & Me Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
From www.pro-rock.com: "These lyrics are imagined from two viewpoints. The first is God as he sits on his front porch giving his old buddy Lucifer a hard time for double-crossing him. The other is from the dark lord himself. He realizes that he fucked up, and he's got to hit the road. Oscar Hernandez and Lee Brintnall provided clap track. Killer claps... the best." |

| Clutch – Power Player Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
From www.pro-rock.com: "This is the first song we wrote for the record. The idea for these lyrics came about while we were doing a lot of international flying. We even had the rare luxury of flying first class once [once being the operative word]. It's a whole different scene up there, hot towels and cheese trays. The rock band definitely came across as a booze soaked horde of barbarians. That, coupled with some late night notes taken in the lobby of the Hotel Ukraine in Moscow brought about this tune." |
|
| Clutch – You Can't Stop Progress Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
From www.pro-rock.com: "Though it's the opening track, You Can't Stop Progress is one of the last songs we wrote for Beale Street. It is sort of a preface to the next track, Power Player. We happened to perform it one night before Power Player, and it became apparent that the two were joined at the hip. We first heard the Bad Brains 20 years ago and in this tune it's obvious that they're still influencing us." |

| Clutch – Electric Worry Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Correct lyrics: Well you made me weep and you made me moan When you caused me to leave, child, my happy home. But someday, baby, you ain’t gonna worry my life anymore. I get satisfaction everywhere I go. Where I lay my head - that’s where I call home. Whether barren pines, or the mission stare, Take tomorrow’s collar and give ‘em back the glare. Bang, bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos. Bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos. You told everybody in the neighborhood what a dirty mistreater. That I was no good. But someday, baby, you ain’t gonna worry my life anymore. Doctor or lawyer, I’ll never be. Life of a drifter - only life for me, You can have your riches, all the gold you saved. Cause’ ain’t room for one thing in everybody’s grave. Bang, bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos! Bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos! If I had money, like Henry Ford, Lord, I’d have me a woman, yeah on every road. But Someday, baby, you ain’t gonna worry my life any more. Invocation of the dummies, requiem for a head, Cash in at the corner, piles of street cred. I get satisfaction everywhere I go. One day baby you’ll worry me no more. Bang, bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos! Bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos! "This song is one part cover song, one part original. Half of each verse is taken from Mississippi Fred McDowell's "Fred's Worried Life Blues." The rest is our own concoction. When we wrote the upbeat part of the song, I couldn't hear the typical blues sentiment. Instead, it kind of became a motivational speaker slapping himself out of a stupor. The chorus "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Vamanos! Vamanos!" has nothing to do with guns. It got its start long ago when Tim, and I can't recall why, said, "Vamanos! Bang! Bang!" Add a bit of John Lee Hooker and there you go. The ripping harp solo is none other that Five Horse Johnson's Eric Oblander." |

| Tool – Lateralus Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
to me, the most important line of this song is "ride the spiral to the end, it may just go where no ones been" kinda sums up one of messages of the song. Life can down a dark downward spiral, but you gota go with it right to the end, because you never know what the future holds. |

phatttie, he did not say this song is about fucking. He said they were gona play a song from the desert sessions about fucking, then played "i wanna make it wit chu" this song is also originally from desert sessions. So it could very easily be about getting high and listning to music |

| Queens of the Stone Age – Long Slow Goodbye Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
just an idea: Alzheimer's disease. They nickname it "The long goodbye", and certain lyrics in the song have a slight connection to the effects Alzheimer's has eg "Waiting, when you coming home?" "Waiting by the telephone" If anyones ever known someone with Alzheimer's, you would probably see the connection. So maybe someone in the band knew someone who had it? (ps, N0 C0DE you're right, Lanegan did co-write it) |
