Monday Song Lyric

In the Phish post earlier today I referrenced things changing in 1994.

I guess it wouldn't be complete without mentioning that I spent a large part of the year living in London where I parited it up and really got into the indie-soul-acid jazz thing (which was already taking up - via Shockra - a large part of my musical attention here in the states). One of the bands that had the most impact on me therer was Primal Scream.

In 1994 - while touring behind Give Out But Don't Give Up (my southern readers will dig the cover) - Melody Maker described them as a british version of the Black Crowes and when I saw that they would be playing with George Clinton I made sure to check them out. Now, Primal Scream was - along with Oasis - one of the biggest bands in England at the time. In fact, they were headlining the show but when they came out at the begining announced to the crowd that they decided to go on first cause they would be too tired to play if they had to follow the Father of Funk. We ended up stumbling out in a psychedelic daze about 6 am the next morning.

Anyway, Primal Scream hit it pretty big over here in the States with their 2000 release EXTRMNTR, which included the infamous Kill All Hippies (which, btw, is also a ring tone on my Razr now).

Kill All Hippies
Lyrics Primal Scream, M. Nelson

Hello this is gorgeous, anybody out there read me?
10-4 I read you.
My handles gorgeous, pretty vacant, eh
Subvert normality
Fuuuuuck you!
Punk is not sexual, its just aggression
10-4 old buddies
Destroy, kill all hippies
Anarchy! disco sucks
Subvert normality

You got the money, I got the soul
You got the money, I got the soul
You got the money, I got the soul
Cant be bought, cant be owned

You got the money, I got the soul
You got the money, I got the soul
Cant be bought, cant be owned
You got the money, I got the soul

You got the money (x3)
I got the soul
I got the soul
I got the soul
I got the soul
I got the soul
