| Man Man – The Ballad of Butter Beans Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| sorry about that posting twice. but i think it has a lot of similarities to "The tragedy of Faust" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. in lamen's terms, guy makes a pact with the devil, he gets faust everything he wants in exchange for his soul, faust wants to back out because he meets a girl whom he falls in love with but she hates that he's followed by mephistopheles (satan). he wants no more of the pact. but he's taken down to hell anyway after things with the girl goes wrong. go read it for yourself, because i'm sure i left some stuff out. | |

after listening to this on full blast a few times, i think i got the lyrics down pat without all the weird unicode bs. he says his stuff pretty clear in this, except the background singers make it kinda hard to hear the last line of every verse. here: Butter beans, I'm gonna get you I'm gonna stick you, I'm gonna take you down And then romp, I'm goin' to hell, You're riding shotgun. Butter beans, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you Butter beans, I know she wants you Bet you'll make a lovely headdress Or a double breasted suit of skin Butter beans, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you Butter beans, you best stay sharp 'Cause I'm gonna free that black blood from that black heart I'm gonna fry I'm gonna fry with a smile on my face Butter beans, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you You think you're so slick I've seen her lipstick 'cross your dillsnick You think you're so slick I've seen her lipstick 'cross your dillsnick Butter beans, you go and try and hide In the swamp grass I got swamp eyes And I'll track you down like a bloodhound It's your time to die Butter beans I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you Butter beans, you've gotten so fat I can barely carry your weight across my tiny back Taught me singing, in the end when I see you, say Amen Butter beans, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you Real thick black magic can't stop the tragedy from happening Pigs feet and snake piss, crow tongue and cat face Horse tail and bone bits Bird's nest and graveyards All of it won't keep the tragedy from happening So run! |
