Thread Starter Zooooooooommmmm!!!!        I had a bad experince with the C.I.A. and now i'm gonna' show you my feminine side from the album "Zoom Daddy" Words by Terry Taylor, Music by Terry Taylor, David Raven and Tim Chandler ©1988 Broken Songs the ways of love weave a tapestry non-linear threads of mystery revisionist strands of history are the ways of love the ways of love blow a cold war wind that kicks you out and brings you in we're counterspies and specialty men in the ways of love a shady past, the financier of letter bombs and phony beards (the ways of love are kiss and tell) a cheap disguise for a tender soul your coup d'e'tat, my overthrow (a smoking gun, the bullet shell) i had a bad experience with the c.i.a. no they wouldn't let me show her my feminine side she got busted undercover for the f.bi.i. she was concealing all her glory and her masculine pride it's a covert operation and we're d.o.a. on regulated doses of love's cyanide the ways of love are an alchemy of cryptic code and anarchy the paragon of a parody are the ways of love a camera in a boutinniere a poison tip on a wired brazier (ways of love are covert plans) here loyalties are second guessed and removed with extreme prejudice (to infiltrate the everyman) i had a bad experience with the c.i.a. and now i'm gonna show you my feminine side you got busted undercover for the f.b.i. and now you're gonna show me your masculine pride it's a covert operation and we're d.o.a. on regulated doeses of love's cyanide the ways of love are a dossier of tramps and thieves and runaways a ransom note with a price to pay are the ways of love the ways of love are a secret sauce of sacrifice and grievous loss a crown of thorns and a double cross are the ways of love the ways of love the ways of love these are the ways of love When I first got this album and listened to this song (Christmas '03; I got alot of TST music that Christmas), I didn't like it, lyrically or musically. When I listened to it again, I latched on to the phrase "ways of love." I appreciate it much more now after repeated listenings. 01-05-2005 22:36 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom This one takes a little time to grow on you. The lyrics are amazing and the play on words is some of the best Terry has done. I think you could listen to it a thousand times and still find little things that jump out at you and make you say that's cool __________________ http://www.google.com 01-06-2005 11:03 Eis Official Impasto Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 3,470 Location: One too many mornings and a thousand miles behind...

I think you could listen to it a thousand times and still find little things that jump out at you and make you say that's cool That's kinda funny. I liked this one from the get-go, which I got from RadRockers since the DA webstore didn't have any. Maybe I just enjoy plays on words and don't mind the weird, whereas dorf likes the weird and takes a bit to get the word plays? Anyway you look at it, it's just total brilliance and cool. It also seems funny to me that so many like OE over ZD and at the same time like the Alarma Chronicles stuff more than the stuff after DFBB. I just don't understand that. Oh well, to each his own. __________________ Got a few miles left ...

Back then I was listening to a lot of bands like Collective Soul and The Alter Boys and Uthanda and that kind of stuff. Not that I didn't have all the Terry stuff up to then but ZD was from a direction I had never heard before. The rest of the CD hit me a bit before the first song and Nightmare At The Elks Lodge did. They were slow and like a thick goo needed some time to sink into the deepest part of my brain But, After 6 listens, I was ready for The Residents __________________ http://www.google.com 01-06-2005 11:47 jiminy Tallowy Tamale Registration Date: 11-16-2002 Posts: 9,494 I like Collective Soul saw a live show- it was well done. They threw in Revolution, and Crazy train in the songset It was the Disciplined Breakdown tour- I still enjoy their first three works.... "Used to be all I ever wanted to learn was wisdom , trust and truth but now I ever really want to learn is forgiveness for you." great song- (and going the way of the Residents is good, and ZD is great preparation........) __________________ jiMinY theres nothing to EVER put here that will please everyone-let alone anyone. 01-06-2005 12:10 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom Coolness. I still like collective soul. They are DA fans __________________ http://www.google.com 01-06-2005 12:12 carl Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 6,960 Well, I like that Collective Soul ARE DA fans, anyway.... Although to be fair, I've only heard the first album.... __________________ 01-06-2005 12:18 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom They are all pretty good. I have not heard the new one. __________________ http://www.google.com 01-06-2005 12:20 jiminy Tallowy Tamale Registration Date: 11-16-2002 Posts: 9,494 really? that is coolness! I only knew them as Beatle and Ozzy fans....... they are not terribly original, but theres something about their delivery thats darn catchy. plus they speak a good brand of Christianese. I don’t believe in The sorcerers or the preachers. I just believe in you. And I don’t believe in The scholars or wise men. I just believe in you. sounds a lot like I've listened to preachers I've listened to fools I've listened to people- who make their own rules.. __________________ jiMinY theres nothing to EVER put here that will please everyone-let alone anyone. 01-06-2005 12:20 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom Yup, I believe there is something about it in Daniel Amos--Our Personal Favorite World Famous Hits __________________ http://www.google.com 01-06-2005 12:23 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom Mr. Sharky from the album "Zoom Daddy" Words by Terry Taylor, Music by Terry Taylor, David Raven and Tim Chandler ©1988 Broken Songs mr. sharky and his boys are smokin' cigars they came knocking on my door three days ago now they're spread out on my matching couch and love seat they thrash and nibble at the bait around my soul sharky drinks my wine and works my lap computer as if his presence really had some kind of worth i serve them tuna balls and those little cocktail weiners sharky casually asks me if i like to surf chorus fatten up boys! some day, i'll stop feeding them (chomp that chum, got a taste for blood) hack it up boys! i pray, i'll stop needing them (grab that grub, chew it, do it to a nub) fatten up boys! one day i'll set them free out to see (chomp that chum, got a taste for blood) now sharkey's all concerned, he wants to know what's eating me fatten up boys! some day, i'll stop feeding them (chomp that chum got a taste for blood) hack it up boys! i pray, i'll stop needing them (grab that grub, chew it, do it to a nub) fatten up boys! one day, i'll set them out to sea (chomp that chum, got a taste for blood) sharky takes and sharky gives just about enough to let you live, yeah thought i had luck enough to fall from sharky's favor but he assures me that the check is in the mail he's breathing hard, his smile is cavalier and vicious wearing that suit of razor blades with those florshems on his tail mr. sharky and the boys are getting restless they've got junky eyes, and i'm another fix sharky likes to hear me beg for second chances so he can tell me that he'll fix it in the mix chorus so i'll act friendly with that squaliform card shark and his voracious cartilaginous breed pretend to be his loyal pilot fishing yard guard the chub soup recipe for his predatory need yeah, we all got our needs, all got our needs get down, get down, get down, so get down, get down on your knees now sharky makes a slight adjustment to his aqua-green toupee then flosses up all his bloody gums and teeth and all the while he's laughing at my naivete and folly cos' man, you know, that's just the nature of the beast now all this time my harpoon is concealed, it's loaded up and ready the net's overhead, and there's a mickey in his drink yeah, they think they've fooled me with all their pig-latin shop talk i smile and sign the papers with some disappearing ink it's a feeding frenzy we're all fat and friendly they've got the cash to lend me now and i've still got some dreams but it's a cordial slaughter and gettin' harder and harder to keep treadin' on in the dangerous waters and to keep my own nose clean, so fatten up boys fatten up boys fatten up ow! fatten up ow! fatten up ow! __________________ http://www.google.com 01-06-2005 12:26 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom I love Mr. Sharky.
