"The Swish" lyrics
"The Swish"
Pills and powders, baby, powders and pills
We spent the night last night in Beverly Hills
This chick, she looked just like Beverly Sills
We got killed
Tights and skirts, baby, skirts and tights
We used to shake it up in Shaker Heights
This chick, she looked just like Patty Smythe
She seemed shaky but nice
She said my name's Rick Danko, baby
People call me One-Hour Photo
I got some hazardous chemicals
So drive around to the window
She said my name's Robbie Robertson but people call me Robo
I blew red white and blue right into a tissue
I came right over the counter just to kiss you
I came right over the counter just to kiss you
Ginger and Jack and four or five Feminax
Psycho eyes and a stovepipe hat
A ray of light through tight white rayon slacks
We got cracked
Shoes and socks, baby, socks and shoes
We spent the night last night in Newport News
This chick, she looked just like Elizabeth Shue
We got bruised
She said my name's Steve Perry, baby
People call me Circuit City
I'm so well connected
My UPC is dialed into the system
She said my name's Neal Schon but people call me Nina Simone
Some people call me Andre Cymone
'Cause I survived the '80s one time already
And I don't recall it all that fondly
So hold steady
It was a blockbuster summer
Moving pictures got us through to September
They made a movie about me and you
They made it half nude and half true
It was a bloodsucking summer
I spent half the time trying to get paid from our savior
Swishing though the City Center
I did a couple favors for these guys who looked like Tusken Raiders

Teenage Fanclub - "Everything Flows" We get older every year
But you don't change
Or I don't notice you're changing
I think about it every day
But only for a little while
And then I feel it
I'll never know which way to flow
Set...
Spoon - "Don't You Evah" Bet you got it all planned right
Bet you never worry
Never even feel a fright
Bet you got it all planned right
Never fit to worry
Never even feel a fright.
Single sleeps alone
And I know you...
The Mountain Goats - "The Mess Inside" We took a weekend, drove to Provo
The snow was white and fluffy
A weekend in Utah won't fix what's wrong with us
The gray sky was vast and real cryptic above me
I wanted you
To love me like you used...
The Menzingers - "Your Wild Years" Long for the words with hearts and wings
Something familiar when you miss everything
You rest your head against the window pane
Feet on the dash through a steady rain
I drove you home while you slept...
Superchunk - "Hyper Enough" If it weren't for those lofty currents you're riding on
You would not exist
If it weren't for the flashlight shining in my face
Maybe I could resist
I think I'm hyper enough as it is
I think I'm...
