|
Everybody's trying to Fu*k people over and if you stay away and do your own thing...you'll be cool. He saying that he doesn't want to do what society is telling him he has to do (i been fightin' gravity since I was two). If you just dont give a shit and you let all those bastards go their way, you've got nothing to loose. |

Professor Nutbutter = Drug Dealer. Obviously acid if he's a chemist. Les is telling you to live because one day you'll be dead and never know. |

This entire song is just one big metaphor. When he talks about a pang and looking for apple pie but can only corn chex he's saying -- "i want to make it big but i cant quite make it." and the part about corn chex being satisfying means that even though i'm not in the limelight and only small time -- I'm still happy. "Had my mind set to hit them streets/Drizzle from the night left the cold puddles out/Had my black stomp boots on my feet" = i wanna go out and make it big(hit the streets), but I'm running into complications(Drizzle from the night left the cold puddles out). But, luckily I'm strong (black stomp boots). Then he goes on to explain how he feels about what he just metaphored. Trashing king bass strumming! |

cool cover. I love that da na da na naw part (you'd have to hear it to know what i mean). THis song is just using "Scissor Man" as a metaphor for carma. What you do will come back to you ten fold. You screw someone over, justice or whatever you want it to be will get ya -- so be good! |

| Primus – Frizzle Fry Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
|
Frizzle Fry is not what any of you think. Barrington is the dorm Les lived in when he went to Berkley. Famous for its crazy parties and hard drugs, Barrington Hall is the subject of many Claypool songs (pretty much the entire FRIZZLE FRY album and the song BARRINGTON HALL is a Frog Bridage tune and tells you about it. This song is about all the people in that dorm doing acid, meth, weed, & coke. It drove half of them nuts. This is what he's talking about when he says, "Andy's painting green again(translation -- Andy's going nuts from drugs). And "FRIZZLE FRY" is your head after all of this damage; fried and frizzled and toasted. And to explain all of the "i dont believe in...", that's how you feel after hard long binges -- YOU DONT GIVE A F*** ABOUT ANYTHING. Probably the darkest and more creative of all their songs, this one is a bad motherfuc*er. Claypool uses all techniques of style in this song -- slap, pops, strum, pluck. He's a cool bastard. |

Life. Just read it. It describes life. When you're a kid everythings much simpler (Part 1 - Blinded By the Sun). Then you become a teen or young adult and everyone's giving you shit and telling you what to do...but you're also giving people shit (Part 2 - Sanity is...). And, finally you mature and figure it all out and get through the bad times and get to happiness (Part 3 - Pressing onward...). |

| Primus – Duchess and the Proverbial Mind Spread Lyrics

ACID. This song is about acid. "ended up in federal prison twenty years for spreading minds." Or "i feel is burnin' in my stomach" or "swimmin', i see myself a treadin' water/i see no signs of any other people" OR "I lay back and spread my mind." "The Dead" is (if your so damn music ignorant) THE GRATEFUL DEAD. Back in the sixties acid just hit and ya know possession of acid over 4 hits is 10 years. Awesome bassline as always. |

| Primus – Kalamazoo Lyrics

Kalamazoo is a state of mind. It's what divides me from you. Maybe Kalamazoo is the state of attitude and life. "i dont believe in payin' no goddamn rent" or "years and the liquor have made him mild and he lays around Kalamazoo" shows this is how these people think and where they want to be in the world or how they want the world to be. oh, yeah -- killer bassline. |

| Primus – The Pressman Lyrics

|
|
Like many, many Primus songs, this one tells a story. This is a "pressman", or reporter who is going nowhere-- he has implanted himself into whatever story he's writing and becomes isolated. In the song it's basically the pressman's heart pouring out to meet expectations. The version of this on SUCK ON THIS is way more kickass than the PORK SODA version. |

If you read the lyrics, its obvious that this song just tells a story about a fishing trip with Les, Ler (primus guitarist), Todd Huth (Sausage guitarist), Les' Dad, and a dude named Darrell. Badass bass solo and into with the fretless 6-string. |
