pardon me while I kiss this guy

[wickedflea]

I always thought the first two lines of KISS's "Black Diamond" were "Out on the streets for a livin', bitch has only begun." Come to find out it's "picture's only begun." What the hell kinda sense does that make? Well, I guess it's no weirder than some of the lines in "Deuce" and "Goin' Blind."


"Deuce"

Get up
And get your grandma outta here
Pick up
Old Jim is workin' hard this year
And baby
Do the things he says to do
Baby, if you're feeling good
And baby if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce

Honey
Don't put your man behind his years
And baby
Stop cryin' all your tears
Baby
Do the things he says to do
Do it

Baby, if you're feeling good
And baby if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce

And baby, if you're feeling good
Yes baby if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
Yeah

i've often wondered about this little nugget from adam ant...
In days of old, when ships were bold
Just like the men who sailed them
and if they showed us disrespect
we'd tie them up and flail them

read it out loud. it makes no sense! we'd tie up the ships? what?

do you remember that book "excuse me while i kiss this guy" which was about mis-heard song lyrics?

yeah, anyways, i'm the biggest KISS fan in the elm city. did you know that "Nothing to Lose" is about ANAL SEX!?!

again you rock my face

Yeah, I need to check out that book! There's a website (at least one), but it's kind of fucked up.

I can't believe you mentioned "Nothing to Lose." I always had a vague notion that it was about anal sex (the "back door" line, y'know), but yesterday right before I made that post I was looking at all the lyrics to the first album and read all the words to that song for the first time. I thought, "Yep, ol' Gene is talkin' about some butt sex, all right!"

I dig "Goin' Blind" too. I've never been able to figure that one out. :)

That was early KISS, right? Before they could afford the good shit?

Just askin' is all.
