Gay Bar Part Two Lyrics
I used to dress in black every night
I used to dress in black every night
But something happened to me
Something happened to me
And now... I dress in white
You used to get it wrong every night
You used to get it wrong every night
And there was nothing left to do
But pump high voltage into you
And now... you mostly get it right
And you were blinded for the moment
By my country and western star ship last night
You were tumbling and bumbling
Like a bird that's just had it's wings clipped...in flight
And the congregation of the player begins to sing
They were such delinquents joining the kill
Of the soft steaming shits demanding...
Gay bar part 2
Hey
I used to dress in black every night
Now I dress primarily in white
And I was under duress
removed my pants and my vest
...and now I'm undressed tonight
And you were silenced for the moment
By my peter paul and mary box set
...last night
You were tumbling and bumbling like a pugilist being pummeled
...in flight
And the leagues of evil temper began to sing
And the menacing ending caused you such fright
There's something very wrong with you
So let's stay in tonight
She was my dark angel every night
She was my dark angel every night
Something happened to her
Something happened to her
And now... she's white
I used to dress in black every night
But something happened to me
Something happened to me
And now... I dress in white
You used to get it wrong every night
And there was nothing left to do
But pump high voltage into you
And now... you mostly get it right
By my country and western star ship last night
You were tumbling and bumbling
Like a bird that's just had it's wings clipped...in flight
They were such delinquents joining the kill
Of the soft steaming shits demanding...
Gay bar part 2
Now I dress primarily in white
And I was under duress
removed my pants and my vest
...and now I'm undressed tonight
By my peter paul and mary box set
...last night
You were tumbling and bumbling like a pugilist being pummeled
...in flight
And the menacing ending caused you such fright
There's something very wrong with you
She was my dark angel every night
She was my dark angel every night
Something happened to her
And now... she's white

I get the feeling that the band was really irritated by people asking them to write a sequel to Gay Bar...
If they changed labels, I think it may be a middle finger extended in the general direction of the old one.
This is such a great narcissistic song and a great opener to the new album. It's hard to find a line that isn't a self-reference.
Agreed, it's a fantastic opener.

I think it is clearly a retaliation against people (whether they be fans or a record label) who thought that Electric Six were just a joke when they released 'Fire' and thought the band could be pushed around.

So many incorrect lyrics!

They were sick deliquents joining the queue Of the soft steaming shits demanding Gay Bar part two! Hey! Solo! I used to dress in black every night Now I dress primarily in white And I was under duress Removed my pants and my vests And now I'm undressed tonight And you were silenced for a moment By my 'Peter, Paul and Mary' box set Last night You were crumbling and mumbling Like a pugilist being pummeled In fight And the names of evil temper begin to sing Ahh! And I've never seen anything cause you such fright There's something very wrong with you So let's stay in tonight Hey! She was my dark angel every night She was my dark angel every night Something happened to her Something happened to her And now she's white!
I thought this was gonna be my favorite song on the new album Not that every note on the cd isn't a musical orgasm to the ear Nothing in common with the original but still incredible About a change of some sort, for him and his angel Symbolized by black to white A lot of classic interpretations for that...
What's with the reference to There's Something Very Wrong With Us So Let's Go Out Tonight, Be My Dark Angel and She's White? I acknowledge that they are great songs anyway. She's White is my favourite Electric Six song.
It's part of the purpose of the song. Criticizing the people who only want more novelty songs like Gay Bar, while it serves to reward us actual fans who know the other material. It could also be "Conceptual Continuity"
