Bill Bell had a little surprise for us today. Here it is :
From Bill Bell:
Many of you know the album name. and for those who are familiar with the track list you’ll note there is no actual song called Feudal, Brutal and the American Dream.
Well, actually there was one in progress – various people heard [...]

I Got A Reason

Angie | September 5, 2009

I’ve got a good reason
I’ve got a good reason
I’ve got me a reason to think
I’m more than just a vessel
Got a reason to think
God gave me something special
Got a reason, that I’m leavin’
Oh Jesus, won’t you give me amnesia?
Because I wanna to forget
all the people I’ve met.
I want to be
the static on the tv set
I’m [...]

The Lonesome Ballad of Lonesome Boy

Angie | September 5, 2009

I’d be at the diner now
But you’re not allowed to smoke inside
And I can’t afford to compromise
the few devices that I have
that help me write.
I gotta smoke
I gotta be alone.
Frequently I’ve gotta burn one
to my dome, or two
It helps me figure out
what a saxophone would do.
So I can have a melody
One that I can stick
inside [...]

Nerve Damage

Angie | September 5, 2009

 
How do I feel about
nerve damage?
I don’t
So I guess you could say
anything
And, no, I still don’t
love you.
But I’ll kiss you when you get home
I missed you last night
but I wasn’t about to pick up the phone
I know we got somethin’
to figure out
And when talk about it
I guess we’ll see
Baby, I’ll bet you probably think
I don’t [...]

The Rotten Harvest

Angie | September 5, 2009

I’m just a-reapin’
the rotten harvest I have sown
I beseech you
don’t judge me by my produce
The air was gettin’ warm
I went outside to plant some corn
When I got outside I felt the heat’
thought ‘what the hell’ I’ll plant some wheat
Then came the rain
so I went inside to rest my brain.
Then came the drought
and dried the water [...]

Ell-Oh Vee Ee

Angie | September 5, 2009

“L” is for the way you look at me
“O” is for the only one I see
“V” is very, very extraordinary
“E” is even more than anyone that you adore
and LOVE is all that I can give to you
LOVE is more than just a game for two.
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don’t [...]

Tourist

Angie | September 5, 2009

 
One, two, three….One two, three….
Please allow me
to introduce myself
My name is Spencer
but you can call me
what you wanna.
I live in a house
on a street in a town
with some people I know
and a bunny
named Rowboat
I got a shirt and some pants
and some shoes and a hat
and a mouth and a nose
cuz I’m cool like that
Now I [...]

Respect Innovation

Angie | September 5, 2009

I’m so glad I live
in the 21st Century.
They reinvent the razor
all the time
I don’t shave
But I respect innovation…..
“Respect Innovation”

Go To Hell

Angie | September 5, 2009

They don’t play scrabble
At the Tower of Babel
They’re much to busy fallin’ apart
And gettin’ wrote about in books
Not to mention everybody there
Is prouder than stupid
And the people there
Are stupid as shit
No sacred fruit upon
No sacred apple trees in Babylon
And you can eat all you want to
Off of any old tree you please
And every last one [...]

Twenty to One

Angie | September 5, 2009

I didn’t go outside today
and I smoked twenty cigarettes today
and I’ve been kind of high
all day
I’m getting closer
to doing what I did yesterday
except today
I have less money
My cat has scabs all over his skin
He might have fleas
He might just be a masochist
and he don’t know how much of a symbol
he has become for me
Me and [...]
