My lady gives birth today,
I run to her room right away,
She smiles with glee then hands her to me,
I look at my newborn and say

Damn that's an ugly baby!
Damn that's an ugly-ass baby!
I'm feeling quite concerned,
My semen must have turned,
Damn that's an ugly baby

This is just what I feared,
Her head is mishappen and weird,
She's skinny like a twig,
At least her nuts are big,
But her hair color doesn't match her beard

Damn that's an ugly baby!
Goddamn that's an ugly-ass baby!
I give the doc a smack and say,
Can't you stuff her back in,
Damn that's an ugly baby

And when she smiles I find,
Shea mcgowan comes to mind,
It makes me want to cry,
When I look into her good eye,
I always wanted kids,
Is it wrong to hope for SIDS?

Then the doctor calls me in,
Mr. lynch, she has a twin...

Damn that's a good lookin baby!
One for two on the good lookin babies,
I almost start to weep,
Now this one we can keep,
Cause that was an ugly ass baby

Damn that's an ugly baby,
Damn that's an ugly ass baby
Damn that's an ugly baby
Damn that's an ugly baby

(I said damn damn damn! I wanna throw that shit in the dumpster)

Well she's got one good tooth and one ear and one eye,
And thank god just one nose but its on her left thigh,
The thought of changing her diaper each day,
Or powdering her ass with that tail in the way,
I think I could get a good price on ebay

I don't want any ugly baby,
I said damn that's an ugly baby,
Damn that's an ugly baby

    It's Shane MacGowan.. one of my favourite artists but he has horrible teeth.

    It was weird that when I saw this on the DVD I laughed hysterically at that line and noticed no one in the crowd got it.

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard

Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
