new years was bloo moon they tell me...

new years was bloo moon they tell me...

By vic

Whadya know? Once inna blue moon everything just goes to total shit? Or everything works out? Or... ?
The hand of god appears of the scene and...
DEUS MACCHINA!
We are rescued from the sinking ship,
or lifted by our shirt collars and dropped straight in the jailhouse...
And the money is returned to its rightful owner,
The old lady in the shoe of course...
Makes the rent!
The kitties will not freeze!
And the angel grabs out of the very air the arrow
before Abraham Lincoln misses the apple completely
and so sacrafices his fattest lamb instead
To dance about the biblical stripper pole...
st john the baptist... head pleez!
Haha!
But no worries!
she eventually marries a basketball player with a burgeoning rap career...
...well somethin-somethin-happily-ever-somethin' anyway...
...somebody does.
Live that is...
...oil that is...
Black gold...
Jeb is movin on up
To the east side.
Well you can at least be guaranteed a 24 hr marathon of either the honeymooners or the twilite zone...
Aint that the truth....
Blue moon leaves me standing...
Without a dream in my heart...
Save us obama!
Help us baby Jesus new year!
St Anthony find my mind!
The pixies are asking, have they sold their soul?
Will they or not outlive dick Clark?
Dungeon master! Cast the 20 sided die and tell them if they detect magic...
One decade down!
Into the future i say!
Oh captain! My captain!
Dont look back!
They might be gaining on you...

Just hope...

Vic,
Ijust hope you were on dope when you wrote this. Or am I just way too squared Ican't get it?

cheers

Virginia Beach show

Hey Vic (and the rest of The Slackers!),
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but here goes nothing: I'm a huge fan of all of your music and I'm going to be at your Jan 31 Virginia Beach show. If I were to bring a vinyl copy of Self Medication do you think it would be possible to get the whole band to sign it? (you're still touring with the same line-up that recorded the album right?) It would absolutely blow my mind, but I understand if it's a bit much to ask. Anyways, let me know what you think if you get the chance. Thanks for all of the great music; I can't begin tell you how much I enjoy it and the happiness it brings me!
