Street Corner Serenade

Yeah you're, you're about to go insane
Cause your woman's playing games
And she says that you're to blame

Keep On Smiling

Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives - Country Star




Lukas Nelson & The Promise Of The Real – “Alcohallelujah”

Sunday fun day

Headache Monday
Buddy got a good wife, holding for dear life
Was a time she dug him, but she won't even hug him
She got tired of boozy lovin'

Father, I must make me a confession
Forgive me, Father, for I've been inspired
I got bars and bars of melodies and memories
May this spirit lift me ever higher

Can I get an alchohallelujah?

This is the sort of music my second wife listened to.

She died on her 55th birthday, 17 years ago... and that 17th anniversary is coming up in a couple of weeks.

I don't think there is any exact (cultural) English equivalent.

Trying to think of a more hard core verse in a rock song and I'm stumped. There's Zevon, and there’s everybody else.

"Nuclear arms in the Middle East
Israel is attacking the Iraqis
The Syrians are mad at the Lebanese
And Baghdad does whatever she please
Looks like another threat to world peace
For the envoy

Things got hot in El Salvador
C-I-A got caught and couldn't do no more
He's got diplomatic immunity
He's got a lethal weapon that nobody sees
Looks like another threat to world peace
For the envoy
Send the envoy"





"His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest
But of all the Thompson gunners, Roland was the best
So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead
That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head

Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in
He found him in Mombassa in a barroom drinking gin
Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg."


Warren Zevon "Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner"

"Lear jet S.W.A.T team
On a midnight run
With the M16
And the Ingram gun
We parachute in
We parachute out
Death from above
We're screaming now

Where the pay is good
And the risk is high
It's understood
We'll do or die
Stun gun in hand
Where the gun is law
From Ovamboland
To Nicaragua
Strength and muscle and jungle work

Three young men
In a Russian truck
With a little MAC-10
Sent 'em running to the huts
These few young men
The few who dare
To battle in hell
Le Mercenaire!"

Jungle Work has always been my favorite Zevon song, but wherever you got those lyrics from, they've got a couple of typos in them:

It's "Sten gun in hand" instead of "stun gun", the Sten gun being a WWII era British submachinegun of a very cheap, mostly stamped sheet metal, construction. Likewise, the verse about the "MAC-10", while undoubtedly referring the the Ingram MAC-10, actually says "with a little M-10 - see 'em runnin' to the huts!"

Also the line that says "we parachute in - we parachute out" may not make sense to some - how on Earth can you parachute OUT? What it is referring to is the practice of wrapping the dead in their parachutes in lieu of a body bag. "Parachuting out" is being carried out by your comrades wrapped in your own parachute, dead as 4 o'clock on a Thursday afternoon.

-----------------------------------------------
Due to events of the past couple of weeks, and some unprecedented - to me - medical shit being perpetrated upon my august personage, this one is rapidly climbing my Zevon favorites list:

Made the mistake of grabbing the lyrics out of Goog search page vice an actual lyrics site. Thanks for the correction and I did not know about the "we parachute in - we parachute out" lyric line. Now makes better sense to me.



I like your climbing to fav too! It reminds me of another song in that era, but my mind is drawing a blank ATM. Maybe Joe Walsh.

Beer and weed going on.

A choir singing a Metallica hit. Felt like I was walking down a one-way corridor into the maw of a cult.
