Mellow Gold
Beck (1994)
The album was once described by its artist as "a satanic K-tel record that's been found in a trash dumpster" was released 30 years ago today. Although I like some of his music, I wouldn't say that I'm a huge Beck fan. Still, the first track off of this album will always remind me of being a teenager in the 90's.
In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkeyButane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkieWith the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetablesDog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhoseKill the headlights and put it in neutralStock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise controlBaby's in Reno with the vitamin DGot a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seatSomeone came in sayin' I'm insane to complainAbout a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirtDon't believe everything that you breatheYou get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeveSo shave your face with some mace in the darkSavin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer parkYo, cut itSoy un perdedorI'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?(Double-barrel buckshot)Soy un perdedorI'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?Forces of evil in a bozo nightmareBan all the music with a phony gas chamber'Cause one's got a weasel and the other's got a flagOne's on the pole, shove the other in a bagWith the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-jobThe daytime crap of the folksinger slobHe hung himself with a guitar stringA slab of turkey-neck and it's hanging from a pigeon wingYou can't write if you can't relateTrade the cash for the beef for the body for the hateAnd my time is a piece of wax falling on a termiteThat's choking on the splintersSoy un perdedorI'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?(Get crazy with the Cheez Whiz)Soy un perdedorI'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?(Drive-by body pierce)
