And if they star-spangled us
How come we say Los Angeles?

I would love to hear Frank with a full band perform Abstract Plain.

Rhyme: House and mouse

Give me a blip
and I’ll totally flip

So true

His lyricism is as good as ever

I would love a version of Billy Radcliffe with no backing vocals
two reelers Posted - 11/29/2024 : 00:16:29
Billy Radcliffe didn't go to town
And when we looked up, he was looking right down
Catching blue in his eyes that were brown

Billy Radcliffe owned by the state
From his first breath to the cemetery gate
He was the first boy born in space

Billy Radcliffe very first one
He really had lived just a cursed son
A split in half man sang the cherubim

Billy Radcliffe saw what the Devil man he saw
He saw a spot of blue in black of the eye of the Lord Such a cruel love
Is the kind that has wrought oh Billy

Billy sadly didn't live long
He had to stay there because he wasn't too strong
He's stepping out the door, blowing up like bomb

Really a hatched man a light switch son
A split in half man sang the cherubim

Billy Radcliffe very first one
A split in half man sang the cherubim
I bet you cried when he died now didja


Now Billy Radcliffe saw what the Devil man he saw
He saw a spot of blue in black of the eye of the Lord, oh, Billy
Billy Radcliffe saw what the Devil man had
And I feel very bad for William Radcliffe

****************

Can it get any better than this? The topic/idea, the story, the emotions, the imagery - and all packed in this few and seemingly (but not really) simple rhymes.



I joined the cult of Souled American / 'cause they are a damn' fine band

All he thinks about is how he
Looks like Heroes-period Bowie

Don't you know they speak vaudevillian?

from this forum's tab section

the lyric makes sense in the context of vaudeville. A couple of guys known for smacking the shit out of each other (three stooges)

*wait a damn minute... are you just busting chops?

It's funny because 'violin' is actually in the lyrics of Two Reelers

Aerodynamics, smart Alec, phallic and panoramic

Lovely stuff

And one more couplet:

Like the reign of mastodon
Like the alleys of old Lyon

And I love the rhyme scheme in "My Life is in Storage." It goes:

AA
AB
BB

Like this:

I had a castle, I had no hassles
Now tears are tassles, you're sure to know it
Just when you blow it, then you can stow it

and this:

Come take a voyage to personal storage
And we will forage, leashes for my hounds
My tools for my grounds, speakers for my sounds

Not because it's brilliant but because it's Frank being Frank:

The desecration of this glebe
...
The last stand of Shazeb Andleeb

YES! Such silly brilliance.

johnnyribcage Posted - 09/15/2019 : 07:52:07
Pretty much every song has at least one killer rhyme. This one popped into my mind right away:

In division pelagic
You were choragic


I had a bad reaction to your public hobby writings.

Oh man, i remember that one blowing my mind back in 93. Great choice.

Has philosph / quaff / Romanov been used yet? I dig that one too.

The Russians just said no, you can't go bit too.
And the whole Happening outro is perfect, especially chills/bill.

Such a great song.




Yep, that one is a keeper. Pistolero is a great, and underrated, album. IMO.

Wanted it to go further in Album Survivor...
