New Fang
By Them Crooked Vultures
New fang,
No thang.
Had it made
To parade,
Found a sucker,
Now I want another.
Stand up,
Step aside,
Open wide,
Handing out and on
Until the feelings gone
Want to?
Yes, I do.
Wanna learn,
Taking turns getting carpet burns.
Loose lips,
Lipstick spit.
Come or go,
I think it's both I gotta know.
Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand,
I think you've got me confused with a better man.
Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand,
I know you've got me confused...
For a better man.
No slack,
Cadillac,
Couldn't quit,
Gums flap so
Here's your teeth back
Accept
What I left
Far behind in a time
When my mind was like a landmine.
Tailgate,
By the lake,
Too much, too young,
Every button gonna come undone.
Tightrope,
No joke,
Nothing left,
So you go baroque.
Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand,
I think you've got me confused with a better man.
Sometimes you break a finger on the upper hand,
I know you've got me confused...
New fang, passing over
No point waiting around for
New fang passing over
No more waiting around-ah
New fang, New fang
They can't wait, no-oh
New fang, newwwwww

I love this band, and that album, so much. In a very real way, it/they inspired the music that I've been writing ever since. Great live act, too. Cool all around. I remember having to record this Austin City Limits episode, and being so excited to watch it.
I wish they'd record another album.
I don't know what it is(and I know I'm in the minority)but I don't get the "greatness" that has been bestowed on Dave Grohl's drumming. I have tried and tried to listen to this album. I have never been a fan of Grohl's style. To me, he has no nuances to his playing. He just seems to be all arm-swinging and bashing. So, it's hard for me to get past the bashing style of drums. Don't get me wrong. I love what he does in Foo Fighters. His drumming just doesn't move me and if the drumming doesn't move me, it's kinda hard for the rest of it to sway me. Then again, that's just me. Glad you enjoy it.
