Taking Sides: Shakin' Stevens v. Sufjan Stevens

Je n'aurai plus besoin de cette maison
Je n'ai pas le temps de réparer les bardeaux
Je n'ai pas le temps de réparer le plancher

Je n'ai pas le temps de huiler les gonds
Ni le temps de réparer le fenêtre
Je n'aurai plus besoin de cette maison
Elle se prépare à rencontrer les saints.

Cette vielle maison commence à chanceler
Cette vielle maison viellit
Cette viellie maison a vu la pluie
Cette maison a vu le froid

R TOP - R A... - Ray Stevens Lyrics - The Streak Lyrics

(Reporter):
Hello, everyone, this is your action news reporter with all the news
that is news across the nation, on the scene at the supermarket. There
seems to have been some disturbance here. Pardon me, sir, did you see
what happened?

(Witness):
Yeah, I did. I's standin' overe there by the tomaters, and here he
come, running through the pole beans, through the fruits and vegetables,
nekkid as a jay bird. And I hollered over t' Ethel, I said, "Don't
look, Ethel!" But it's too late, she'd already been incensed.

(Chorus)
Here he comes, look at that, look at that
There he goes, look at that, look at that
And he ain't wearin' no clothes

Oh, yes, they call him the Streak
Look at that, look at that
Fastest thing on two feet
Look at that, look at that
He's just as proud as he can be
Of his anatomy
He goin' give us a peek

Oh, yes, they call him the Streak
Look at that, look at that
He likes to show off his physique
Look at that, look at that
If there's an audience to be found
He'll be streakin' around
Invitin' public critique

(Reporter):
This is your action news reporter once again, and we're here at the gas
station. Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened?

(Witness):
Yeah, I did. I's just in here gettin my car checked, he just appeared
out of the traffic. Come streakin' around the grease rack there, didn't
have nothin' on but a smile. I looked in there, and Ethel was gettin'
her a cold drink. I hollered, "Don't look, Ethel!" But it was too
late. She'd already been mooned. Flashed her right there in front of
the shock absorbers.

(Chorus)
He ain't crude, look at

5 out of 5 stars well, have you heard music from the 90s?, August 29, 2004

Reviewer: C. Cunningham "corey cosmos" (san mateo, ca united states) - See all my reviews

... or any music by pavement or even their post-pavement projects? then you better own this. this is the single greatest recording of that era. nevermind "nevermind", or screw that album by whats-their-names that probably came out on that great label or any other band from the "half cocked" soundtrack. you're crazy. think of an album like this being a feature in entertainment weekly and rolling stone now-a-days. it couldn't happen. it'd have to have a crappy house or disco beat (and *thats* post punk, eh? [circa 2004]) on it's best song. i think those gentlemens knew the price of an orange juice LP and a swell maps 45. and god bless them. also, this album is very stoney. also i drank too much when i wrote this (and i'm over the age of 13, thanks).

also i'm a moron, so take that into consideration before you buy this classic. matador is making all the money off it anyways and they are putting it into awful music and have been since years and years, no? although they picked up (probably) a few albums that other labels put out that were decent. right? don't deny that, come on! i know you bought that belle and sebastian album. admit it, i know you aren't a transvestite, so i won't say a word! but really, what about the interpol cd you sold three weeks back because you heard the new one was bad and you wanted to jump ship? you know they had a flag on that one! no, no don't try to say you think they're lame, because i saw that haircut in december 2003 and it had a very black very skinny tie that went with it you fathead. i'm just kidding. anyways, later days, give yourself indie rock!
