BULLHEAD

[rhett E rock]

i put this album on a month ago.  had it for a while and only listened to it once.  didn't think much of it.  one of my favorite Melvins albums now.  i'm going between that and Eggnog at this moment.

[idiotboy]

Bullhead, in addition to being my favorite Melvins release, is also in my 2nd favorite album of all time, right behind Black Sabbath's paranoid. Ligature is really the only less than perfect song on there.

Ligature IS Bullhead. That song sticks out as an even weirder, heavier tune than the rest of them on the album. I named my cat Ligature.

Here Liggy, liggy, liggy...

My cats name is 'twinkle-toes' - my wife named her that coz she is black with white feet. She is getting fixed on Friday.

[klump]

dudbean, i just realized that you are fucking with me about your cat in the Fucker Club thread.....doh.  

hehe, I name my cat a lot of things. I'm about to name it Its Shoved, because that song rocks. It is kind of poppy, but Buzz plays some wicked geeeeetar on it. A 'regular' guitar player wouldn't do half as much with it.

yeah, and live he goes totally jimi hendrix on it, that rules more than soap on a rope.

[svart]

i love that album

[Green Honey]

At this moment is my favorite either, especially the trio It's Shoved,
Zodiac and If I Had An Exorcism (does anyone have the complete lyrics).

These are my rough interpretations, but I think most of these
'lyrics' were made up on the spot.


BORIS

I'd like to take I like to feel wanted
Taken up and take them tall
I like to make a lot of generate the one-eyed mouse
Build 'em up and let 'em fall
Just lay 'em on and leave the linen tight
Taken up and take them tall
Generate, lay them flat like monkey man
Leave 'em built, right, stand 'em tie them down
It's like sin.

Boris likes a lot of little things to kick
Mix every single one that he could ever need
Boris feed
Let friend, spoon, friend, stone, lie
Let's make/take, let's feel wanted
Taken up and take 'em tall
My shake, mines monkey paddle
Boris knows and Boris likes it all
It's like sin.

It's a killer she's a killer maker
It reaches in and takes from the back of your mind
I'm not awake still alive
20 bucks has the back and see the lines
I got a small, got what they call the lack
A lack o' halfway cooked bullets on my own
I say I can't but I really mean I won't
In their arm or maybe up a nose
I see it all
See Boris has way of seeing through my eyes
He touches in a fashion, a master of mime
Manipulating me, my arms and legs and spine
He's got you pawed
I'm sinkin shoulder wake like a spin on through
Let 'em hum.


ANACONDA

I could sort of lore a lie
What tells a mine to my.

Raw soaked in malt it's a heartbreaker
Cuz she could lonely sell
Like moanin' worst in lie sin
Cuz she's a queen
Like he knows it sussin wonay laws
Cuz he's a hull singer
Little pigs and lick a little heartleaks
I just fought to enjoy.

I sony mine and lie still though
And I could suck a world through the same bill
Like sony was it won't it
Little queen
And little heart tick sender coffin loud.


LIGATURE

I can see you in like a rell
Like a man doe in law
And row
Like some dance stone in less
And row stole
I might nemo men coz
And lacks
Coz I can see you in like a bred
Check my memolee laws
And row sow
Low munned in south it now
And roast to sell
Coz my man'll be law
And row sow


IT'S SHOVED

For the love maze for me to show you
Look show
Can't even handwrite
I got somethin'
You got holy doll
I'm a leather man
Guarentee
Then when we caught a big pack of bad cats
Always raising paws
Always chucking tails
Kiss that little head
Make 'em Demerol
Eat some Petromalt
So they see


ZODIAC

Like the dead
We'll solve no dess
It's like a ??  let it
Lost in so
Like a pour-ess
Like a mow low led
Moss walls
Like a sez
A poor song yeah
Lost
In paradise
And rock a Thomas
At home
Walls moan like a ??  man
Like a tee sure one lag
Hoarse man
Like a toe this
Keeps only

Cost
In both solids
Like a warzone
Lost mole
And both san
...miracles...
Cross man goes like a toad
...only...
Lost...
Like...???????????
????????????

...Oh yeah
I forgot to get my pill
Got to go downtown...


YOUR BLESSENED

I like your hands
Mr Cancer see
Fell the timber
I felt you be
And if you were
Just like your will
We can end up
And we can turn up
And we can bleed

When man's only distant relative
Has descended on his own
You will know

Your blessened
I can feel your pain
You're man-like
You're friendly
You're me


COW

Cuz I can level, I can miss a low loaded
And I know it like a hunter san bow yed
Cuz I can low like a hundred well dole an'
'Til my below is like a heart-kissin' man.

[reluctantking]

Man, and I thought I was obsessed!

Most of the lyrics, or at least a good portion, are all goobly gook. He didnt have lyrics for some of those tunes and just did it like that.

I reembered that record was the turning point, they became less complicated and more simple. No one complained too much, except in Europe, where they were told that they "sold out".

Nice use of the ice bell, too!

[norecess]

Great job!

Unfortunately it seems to be impossible to figure out what the lyrics of the middle part of The Green Manalishi are.

[Green Honey]

The Green Manalishi

Now when the day goes to sleep
And the full moon looks,
The night is so black darkness cooks.
You come creepin' around,
Making me do things I don't wanna do.
I can't believe that you need my love so bad.
You come sneakin' around,
Tryin' to drive me mad.
Haunting all my dreams,
Making me see things I don't wanna see.

Cuz you're the Green Manalishi
With the two-pronged crown.
All my trying is up,
Are you bringin' this down?
Take all my lovers away,
Leave me here
Just tryin' to keep from following you.

[norecess]

Wow, how could I have typed The Green Manalishi? I guess I was confused because I was answering someone elses question about Kevin's custom kade bass. I actually meant If I Had An Excorcism, Buzz is mumbling something somewhere in the middle of the song. Joe sometimes sang it when they did this song live.

[luciano darkage]

i always thought by "boris" buzz was on about his dick

the lyrics seem to fit

"generate the one eyed man"

"build im up and let im fall"

"manipulating me my arms and legs and spine"

"he touches in a fashion"

and so on

[blipntime]

a lot of their lyrics, especially on ozma, seem to hint at buzz being bi-sexual.

[lord of heaviness]

i've always seemed to notice something about sexuality in some of those albums. especially when it comes to boris having something small, or a lack of.

[Reverend Ebeneezer]

a lot of their lyrics, especially on ozma, seem to hint at buzz being bi-sexual.

That Melvins is Gay site has taken on a whole new level of meaning for me now...ouch.

[klump]

thats a lot more interesting than listening to some moron complaining about feeling "so cold inside"

"sex rocks!"

[Vcavallo]

"i've got a small, got what you'd call a LACK"  i've always thought this was about penis size.  the next line doesn't really fit with that though.

something like, "a lack of half-way good, but it's all my own"

well maybe it does.
ozma is really sexual.  especially "a picture of jesus as an indian over my bed, as i play with parts of myself."  grunt grunt
