Song of the day


Gene C

Recommended Posts

Hello,
 
please limit one post per day on this thread. It's 'song of the day', not 'song of the hour'! I think everyone will get more enjoyment out of it, knowing they only have to sample one or two suggestions per day. You're free to post on 'what are you listening to now' for you're daily play by play.

The Flaming Lips trying out some krautrock

 

 

 

There Should Be Unicorns
The Flaming Lips

 


Yeah, there should be unicorns
The ones with the purple eyes
It should be loud as fuck
Hope the swans don't die
There should be burning sun
And naked slaves
And if the police show up
We'll give them so much money it will make them cry
And forgive us
Yeah, there should be unicorns
The ones with the purple eyes
Not the green eyes
Yeah, there should be unicorns
The ones with the purple eyes
Not the green eyes
Yeah, there should be unicorns
The ones with the purple eyes
Not the green eyes
Yeah, there should be day glow strippers
Ones from the Amazon
Some edible butterflies
We put ketchup on
Some motorcycle stunts
That always crash
And if the police show up
We'll bribe them into helping us steal the light of love
From the rainbow sluts that live next door
Yeah, there should be unicorns
The ones with the purple eyes
Not the green eyes
Yeah, there should be unicorns
The ones with the purple eyes
Not the green eyes
At first there should be unicorns
The ones with the purple eyes, not the ones with green eyes 
Whatever they give them, they shit everywhere 
And it would be great if the moon was almost down
Like in a very red/orange state
Let's leave it like that for at least three hours,
Hovering just above the horizon
And if the police show up, 
We will give them so much money that they can retire from their shitty, 
Violent jobs and live the greatest life they've ever lived
And we will be high and the love generator will be turned up to its maximum
And we’ll get higher, when at last, 
The sun comes up in the morning and we will collapse under the weight of the ancient earth
And it will be inside me and it will be inside you
And it will be the end of the world and the beginning of a new love

More of the often inscrutable flaming lips

 

 

Ashes in the Air
The Flaming Lips


You and me, we're both so fucked up
You're fucked up in the good way and I'm fucked up in the bad
You and me, we thought we were so smart
We thought we could outrun them but they had robot dogs
You and me, we're both in the same hole
But you dream of ways of leaving and I get used to the cold
All the ashes in the air, you can hear us anywhere
All the ashes in the air, you can hear us anywhere, oh
You and me, we heard a sudden thud
But you ran in to save them and I didn't give a fuck
You and me, our egos made from fires
Burning all our flesh off 'til we're skeletons duelling with wires
All the ashes in the air, you can hear us anywhere
All the ashes in the air, you can hear us anywhere, oh
You and me saw the light of the ship get crossed
But it was up above us, it left us where we was
You and me have learned that love is true
If you ask me how I know it, I'll never lie to you
All the ashes in the air, you can hear us anywhere
All the ashes in the air, you can hear us anywhere, oh

Became a big Ghost B.C. fan around Nov 2015. Became an even bigger fan when I heard Dave Grohl had filled in for them a few times on tour as one of the "Nameless Ghouls". This song is off their up and coming album due for release this year.
