Harold Of The Rocks Lyrics
It was a weekends eve
I had sex on my breath
I was looking for something to see.
With a borrowed black leather
and my best fishing hat
it was just Wendy-O and me.
We called ol' swamp up on the telephone and said we was coming on down to pick him up and then,
he said "Hey Snappy, me and Greeny'll come along but only if we can bring a friend. His name is Harold"
So I Said "OK"
Now, we had a Swamper, Greeny, Wendy-O, Stanley, Harold of the Rocks and me.
We hopped into my dart and headed for the nightbreak to see a man they called Schooly D.
Harold hes a friendly guy, he rambles on and on, he'll talk the balls off a rhinosaurus.
Fact is he just doesnt make much sense, well Stan said " This guys pretty bizarre Gus."
Harold Of The Rocks
I saw Harold at a party Trouzy threw late one night.
I said "Hey man do you remember me"
He said " well of course l do snap dad let me tell ya right about now Im lit up like an old christmas tree."
"Het bro you know Id like to thank you once again for letting me hang with ya'all across the bay. When I look back at that night I get a warm spot across my heart"
Then he shook my hand, and walked away.
Thats the last I seen of Harold.
Harold Of The Rocks
So in the end, Swamper and Greeny finally succumb to the ways of Harold.
And in doing so each gave just a little bit of his soul away.
What a couple of dumbshits!
I had sex on my breath
I was looking for something to see.
With a borrowed black leather
and my best fishing hat
it was just Wendy-O and me.

From a primus concert i went to last november:
"Many years ago, one of my very very good friends, who i used to hang it with just about every single day. All of a sudden i didnt see him very often, and i thought "oh im busy, hes busy" thats kind of the way it goes with friends sometiems. Well every sunday we used to go to this place in Berkley called Napoleons Bakery. And so he showed up there with some individual who was a little bit strange. And he was very thin and very gaunt, he said hed been "fasting". S i said ok. In actuality, he was strung out on Cracked Cocaine"
Harold, the obvious friend of Swamper and Greeny, who showed them the "rocks". "Im lit up like an old christmas tree" --obviously high on crack.
About a cool crackhead.
Guess it's another one about drug addiction and it's highs and lows
great song, about Harold Of The Rocks... which just so happens to be crack rocks.....
Les Claypool is an amazing musician and lyricist...
Why only 4 comments (now 5), when this is one of primus' underated best...?Idk weird but i like the studio version better, maybe thats because that was the first one I heard and just got accustomed to it...
I think theres very little comments cause the 2nd one totally covers it
