Blues, Bb.

Murder, murder
I heard that it was murder
I got cold, murder

I couldn’t believe
It was her
Lying so cold, murder

Murder, murder
I grabbed her hand
It was ice, murder

So gentle
She was strong, she was strong
Blood in my eyes, murder, murder

rats, what are you all about
where’s your number at and
what has happened to the telephone

rats, what are yo on about
you keep me up all night
with your deep deep breathing

sheesh, can’t take you anywhere
you’ve never been there
but you already know the scene

rats, what are you all about
where’s your number at and
what has happened to the telephone

I don’t want to be your pizza boy anymore
You don’t want to wear me anyway

rats, what is this song about
where is the melody
What happened to the band

christ, I don’t want to hear
All of this noise in here
about Christian soldiers

damn, I don’t want to see
all of these fingers moving
from side to side

rats, what are you all about
where’s your number at and
what has happened to the telephone

I don’t want to be your pizza boy anymore
You don’t want to wear me anyway x2

guitar part

say I didn’t warn you
you never wore me
You thought I was an ermine

Say I didn’t lie for you
you never wrote me
You thought I was an enemy

rats, what a

I saw something in the corner
It had makeup on it’s face

you nosy little thing
I’ll show you nothing
I’m growling hunger pains
Sometimes we all misbehave

I saw something in the shower
It had red lipstick on it’s eyes

You know I’m hearing bells
They’re banging then they fell
You perverts get your hats off
Excuse me while I towel off

[Guitar]

I saw something in the sports car
With a visor on her head

You nosy little thing
I’ll show you nothing
You know I was at the dentist
I do not have to answer to this

You nosy little thing
You must be seeing things
You should be ashamed
I can’t say that I can blame you

Song 236: 20 WacksAugust 24

20 Wacks (not whacks) and I wish I had another shirt like this one.

METACOMMENT: I have a feeling not many people need/use the tabs and chords. I’m thinking of going back and formatting the posts with the lyrics directly below the song and then guitar notation would be below that. That way everything would be more usable for most people. Drop a line in the comments section and tell me what you think about that. I’m sure I only have about three listeners, but I’d appreciate your input.

Lip gloss, lip gloss
Come on get your salad tossed
Studded jeans, gaping mouths
Come on get your dollars out

Lip gloss, lip gloss
The party’s at Matildas
Big sunglasses hide your eyes
from the parting sea of trophy wives

Chorus:
My Little Joanie superstar
Her heart’s a deep, deep red
So weak, so pure
20 whacks, take 20 more
20 whacks, take 20 more

Finger in the wedding hole
How fast can your Jetta go
Orange tanner, orange head
You’re popping holes in water beds

Fist inside the raccoo

Verse:
I ran to the circus
I ran through the yards
I ran till the gas
ran out in my car

I sought out the devil
I sought out a farm
I sought out a woman
Who wouldn’t do me harm

Chorus:
And I never
Regretted nothing
Life is cold
It’s not my thing x2

I run from the docks
I run from the heavens
I run into our Father
At the seven eleven

I burst and I burn
I twist and I pout
It’s never my turn
I’m the one left out

Chorus
