Pick Up

Solex Pick Up歌詞
1.Athens, Ohio

And I listened to her
Without trying to come up with an excuse to leave
She used to laugh so hard at
Something she thought of on the toilet
That she just about fell off the toilet seat
Wasn't snowing out anymore
But every once in a while you could hear a car not
Being able to get started
All too easily, all too easily, all too easily
She might have been the
Usual sort of
Landlady smelling
Of washing-soda
And backing-powder

She was one of these very tall
Round-shouldered
Women, she was
About six-four with lousy teeth. She
Came over to me, and gave me
These two playful as hell slaps
On both my cheeks
I gave her the wrong idea perhaps
She shouldn't be allowed to watch
Any and every program
All too easily, all too easily, all too easily
She might have been the
Usual sort of

Fifty-three miles
Miles an hour
In a forty mile-zone and attempted bribery
Mary Springer married Jerry
And everything
Smelled as if she
Had loads and loads
Of Vicks nose-drops


2.The burglars are coming!!!

Picked with a hairpin
I saw you come on now Eddy, Eddy, Eddy!
Picking it come on now Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie
The refrigerator is right there, right there, right
When you were
Young you had
Bones to chew I know

I saw you come on now Eddy, Eddy, Eddy!
Picking it come on now Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie
The refrigerator is right there, right there, right
When you were
Wish I had
A brick served
A brick served with cream

I said
And a
Chinese
Take away
Is food
For the
Gods to
You am I right?
Besides

I saw you come on now Eddy, Eddy, Eddy!
Picking it come on now Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie
The refrigerator is right there, right there, right
When you were
Young you had
Bones to chew I know

I saw you come on now Eddy, Eddy, Eddy!
Picking it come on now Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie
The refrigerator is right there, right there, right
When you were
Wish I had
A brick served
A brick served with cream


3.Randy Costanza

He's got a generous
Smattering of charm yes
Maybe some day
He's able to

Spot me a mile
Away

He said with a grin to show
He was kidding so and so
What to do do do do
What to do do do do
I'm confused tu tu tu
Nothing new tu tu tu
Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu

Made great faces and frowns
Standing there naked with
His cute undies
Every weekend
Undies in both his
Hands

He said with a grin to show
He was kidding so and so
What to do do do do
What to do do do do
I'm confused tu tu tu
Nothing new tu tu tu
Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu

Well I stood with my back
To that old kitchen rack
He said: 'I'm bad'
Well I wish I
Had a response to
That

He said with a grin to show
He was kidding so and so
What to do do do do
What to do do do do
I'm confused tu tu tu
Nothing new tu tu tu
Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu


4.Escargot!

Well I cannot take you
Anywhere, but it is no fun
Going without you, hon
Well I can use figures to prove
Anything, Tapes and such
You bought to play
Along with

You're the sort of guy one runs into in London
If you must drive at a crawl like this
You should be in the near side lane
I sometimes think the only
Thing to
Do with
My car
Is to
Push it
Over
A cliff
A cliff
Richard

Think you could get high on
Water if you believed
It was
A somewhat tasteless rum
I've come to look
After you
It's just as
Well by the
Look of things

You're the sort of guy one runs into in London
If you must drive at a crawl like this
You should be in the near side lane
I sometimes think the only
Thing to
Do with
My car
Is to
Push it
Over
A cliff
A cliff
Richard
Push it
Over
A cliff


5.Chris the birthday boy

Well he had insisted
On paying for the meal but
His jaw dropped when he saw
The bill, the bill, the bill, the bill
And suddenly he is
He is just about at vague as you can get
Without being actually invisible
I have to keep this body going
He must
Have thought

Well he had insisted
On paying for the meal but
His jaw dropped when he saw
The bill, the bill
But if
Someone
Jumped the queue he would give them a sharp crack
On the head
With his enormous wooden
Brown wooden spoon
Where do you think
Where do you think
He's going with her
Handbag? handbag

Well he had insisted
On paying for the meal but
His jaw dropped when he saw
The bill, the bill, the bill, the bill

And suddenly he is
He is just about at vague as you can get
Without being actually invisible
I have to keep this body going
He must
Have thought


6.Oh Blimey!

And she felt in her pockets and
Pulled out all... nananana
That was inside
A handful of
Bits and bobs nanananana
On the table
Oh blimey!
All shiny
From suntan
Some coins and
A ballpoint
Oh Shiny

She was facing me and
Walking backwards, and I
Could see her eyes growing
As round as saucers yes

Fresh as a rose
On the day of
The battle, or whatever that
Poem is
Truly sweet
All Shiny

She was facing me and
Walking backwards, and I
Could see her eyes growing
As round as saucers

And she felt in her pockets and
Pulled out all... nananana
That was inside
A handful of
Bits and bobs nanananana
On the table
Oh blimey!
All shiny
From suntan
Some coins and
A ballpoint


7.Dork at 12 o'clock

And there I stood
Facing a
Remote control
Camera
Well well

Did he come back
Did he come?
Did he come back
Did he come?

This argument is right out
Of his greatest hits
Just because
Well well

Did he come back
Did he come?
Did he come back
Did he come?

That stuff gives him a bang
There's nothing like that man
Just a ???

And there I stood
Facing a
Remote control
Camera
Well well

Did he come back
Did he come?
Did he come back
Did he come?

And we both caught a cold
That's what I've been told
And we both caught a cold
That's what I've been told
He had me glued to my
Seat with this crap


8.Superfluity

I'll be right back
Don't forget the cognac
Makes you warm inside somehow
???
So delicious
Tu tu lu du lu
And nutritious
Tu tu lu du lu
Superfluity
Tu tu lu du lu
And delicious

Or else she pulls
The shades down
There she goes
There she goes
Parties at home
Buffalo's roam

So delicious
Tu tu lu du lu
And nutritious
Tu tu lu du lu
Superfluity
Tu tu lu du lu
And delicious
And delicious

She settled on
The cold floor
Feeling it
Become warm beneath her as
She went to sleep

So delicious
Tu tu lu du lu
And nutritious
Tu tu lu du lu
Superfluity
Tu tu lu du lu
And delicious


9.That'll be $22.95

He was back
On the track
Coming at her
Acting more
Like a girl
Than ever
Coming at her
He was back

He straightened his curls
He straightened his curls
Moving his shoulders
Veiling he's
Balder
He knows but
Quite a fuss over a haircut

He was back
On the track
Coming at her
Acting more
Like a girl
Than ever
Coming at her
He was back

Nobody would know
About it but us
He just is
My dear
Supermarket
Cashier
Never went
During lunch breaks to the gents

He was back
On the track
Coming at her
Acting more
Like a girl
Than ever
Coming at her
He was back


10.Snappy & cocky

I slapped a pound note
Down on the counter
'Make that three I ordered and make it snappy, sir'
'Make that three I ordered and make it snappy, sir'

And they thought I looked
The other way when
They were standing
They were standing in the lee of a slag-heap, making water
And I'm glad I did

I slapped a pound note
'Make that three I ordered and make it snappy, sir'
They are quite touchy
About anything
Like that personal
Stuff I had simply pasted the new photo over the old one
And I'm glad I did

And they thought I looked
The other way when
They were standing
They were standing in the lee of a slag-heap, making water
And I'm glad I did


11.Another tune like 'not fade away'

She looked as though she
Might be
In shock
Please open the door
I had to knock
Wish I could see her
Feet on the floor

The old routine
I'm not sure I
Know what you mean
Till she's drip-dry

I had to wait
For her classmate
To fill me in
On her last date

The old routine
I'm not sure I
Know what you mean
I swear I could hear
Her hum a tune
Another tune like
'Not fade away'
I guess she could look
At it that way
Not fade away

The old routine
I'm not sure I
Know what you mean
Tu lu tu lu tu lu tu lu...


12.Pick Up

Come on
You know
You're not
Like her

Got me on my knees
I'd never heard her say
Wished that I could stay
I'm like her maybe be be be be be be

But I
Love to
Catch up
With her

I want to oversleep
I'm in this way too deep
Wish that I could stay
I'm like her maybe be be be be be be

You can
Make some
Hay with
This kid

I'm in this way too deep
I'd never heard her say
That she's straight or gay
I love her maybe be be be be be be be


13.That's what you get with people like that on cruises like these...


I won a cruise
I'm on the loose, loose loose loose loose
Jump in a pool with lots of booze

In my bright blue suits
From Taiwan, China
And bright yellow shirts
With my collar spread open.

14.Five star Shamberg

He had
He had never done
Anything like that one
Oh my, five stars
I got him tanked up
Took him out in the car
Pass me this new tape

With a little luck we might get
An idea of what it is like
To get famous as Hawaii bums
Kind of sounds like I've played this before
Not this film edit, sure
You should play this when that lean-jawed guy
Tries shellfish in Hawaii
For the first time

With a little luck we might get
An idea of what it is like
To get famous as Hawaii bums
