Everything and Naught

[Bernd]

Everything and Naught

When hip-hop's selling perfume
And boy band's selling grief
The blues man's market life insurance just won't flip underneath
Jazz just chucks its concrete into transparent handkerchief
Everything is anything to anyone

The butchers sell you pantyhose
The supermarket sells you land
And the news really likes to read the news but he's also in a band
And feminism's fast asleep with a cock in either hand
Everything is anything to everyone

Modern, modern man is a man of many lives
So we decorate, we imitate, we duplicate their lives
It's the sound of octopuses giving infinite high fives
Everybody's business is show business

And the indoors wants you Oliver
And the outdoors wants you Audi
The bank they want a Tex or Hank
And the mic wants Pavarotti
Kitchen, garden, wardrobe, property in the sun
Everything is anything to everyone

The newsagent sells you holidays
The travel shop sells you sand
The local vicar saves your soul
But he also saves the damned
Nothing's black and white no more
Just permanently tanned
Everything is everything to everyone

Locate, locate, locate
Locate the victim's house
Swap their wives
And take their lives
And turn them inside out
Nothing left in closet
Nothing left in doubt
Everything is anything to everyone

Modern, modern woman
Is juggling many lives
Duplicating, decorating, imitating lives
To the sound of a million whistling wolves
From the ground of a thousand building sites
Everybody's business is show business

And the thin are getting thinner
And the big are getting bigger
Till 5 and 75 year olds worry about their figure
The big are getting bigger
The thin are getting thinner
Till everyone is looking at everyone else's dinner
And we shave our heads to make us look thin
Till the whole ****ing Earth's of fat bald skin
To the fitness instructors and the owners of the gym
I see piling down from the balcony of the trim
And there's your space, MySpace, their big mouth
Turns everything and everyone inside out
Your tube, Me tube, everybody spout
Everything is anything and naught is ****ing naught

Festive greetings to all

[bobsticks]

That's a lot of modern-day, hipster angst coming from a guy who surrounds himself with well-heeled dachsunds and Peak Consults. How's about a little somethin' somethin' to ease your disenfranchisement blues. Mebbe...





Peace mein freund,

A million whistling wolves

[basite]

good, but pretty 'heavy' to begin the day with

Festive greetings to you too

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

Didn't mean to put a downer on proceedings. Just watching the anual frenzy increasing to alarming heights gets me a little blue now and then.
The Sheperds Dog will soothe that.

Hope all are well.

Peace

A perfectly valid response, actually...and c'mon B I'm just playin'. I was misfortunate enough to get caught in the frenzy a few times this season and have pledged to become a hermt midway through December next year.

And yeah, "The Shepherd's Dog" may well cure what ails you. It seems to get better and deeper and smoother with each successive listen. It might even be, dare I whisper it, in the Top Ten of 2007.

Ditto on the holiday wellwishing for both you two.

Yep. Paul Heaton is one of the great Lyricists of our time. Well done Hiro.
I have no idea who the odd one out is.

Happy New Year to you too JRA

I can see several persons being out of place

JRA because his name starts with J, and the rest with B (but they're just names )
and Bobsticks because he's the only one not owning a turntable

Keep them spinning,
Bert.
