Open call

Posted on by

I want to send out a call to my pals: send me your songs. send me the tune that when you hear it something goes off in your head, something makes you think in whirling skeins of thoughts. send me your dream- scream- and cream-songs, send me the shit that makes you want to punch a baby or baby your baby. something like that.
Do it thus:

Artist
Song
Album
(give me links for them if you can)

Lyrics

Commentary/pictures/covers/nude photos of you with a macaque etc

I’ll post one song from each of my friends, whenever you send it.
love, g

    I Don’t Wanna Grow Up.

    When I’m lyin’ in my bed at night
    I don’t wanna grow up
    Nothin’ ever seems to turn out right
    I don’t wanna grow up
    How do you move in a world of fog
    That’s always changing things
    Makes me wish that I could be a dog
    When I see the price that you pay
    I don’t wanna grow up
    I don’t ever wanna be that way
    I don’t wanna grow up

    Seems like folks turn into things
    That they’d never want
    The only thing to live for
    Is today
    I’m gonna put a hole in my TV set
    I don’t wanna grow up
    Open up the medicine chest
    And I don’t wanna grow up
    I don’t wnna have to shout it out
    I don’t want my hair to fall out
    I don’t wanna be filled with doubt
    I don’t wanna be a good boy scout
    I don’t wanna have to learn to count
    I don’t wanna have the biggest amount
    I don’t wanna grow up

    Well when I see my parents fight
    I don’t wanna grow up
    They all go out and drinking all night
    And I don’t wanna grow up
    I’d rather stay here in my room
    Nothin’ out there but sad and gloom
    I don’t wanna live in a big old Tomb
    On Grand Street

    When I see the 5 o’clock news
    I don’t wanna grow up
    Comb their hair and shine their shoes
    I don’t wanna grow up
    Stay around in my old hometown
    I don’t wanna put no money down
    I don’t wanna get me a big old loan
    Work them fingers to the bone
    I don’t wanna float a broom
    Fall in and get married then boom
    How the hell did I get here so soon
    I don’t wanna grow up

    this is my fucking theme song as I fight through my life at the moment. Life sucks, growing up sucks, but we all have to do it.
