song of the day 01/04 Elvis ate America

[isabelle_guns]

Elvis...white trash
Elvis...the Memphis flash
Elvis...didn't smoke hash
Would've been a sissy without Johnny Cash


Elvis...didn't dodge the draft
Elvis...had his own aircraft
Elvis...having a laugh
On the Lisa Marie in a colour photograph


Elvis...under the hood
Elvis...with Cadillac blood
Elvis...darling bud
Flowered and returned to the Mississippi mud


Elvis...ain't gonna rot
Elvis...in a Memphis plot
Elvis...he didn't hear the shot
And Dr. King died just across the lot from...


Elvis...vanilla ice cream
Elvis...girls of fourteen
Elvis...the Memphis spleen
Shooting TVs reading Corinthian's 13


Elvis...with God on his knees
Elvis...owned three TVs
Here come the killer bees Head full of honey potato chips and cheese
Elvis...the bumper stickers
Elvis...the white knickers
Elvis...the white ******
Ate at king burger and just kept getting bigger


Elvis...sang to win
Elvis...the battle hymn
Elvis...the battle to be slim
Elvis ate America before America ate him


Elvis...


Elvis...stamps
Elvis...necromance
Elvis...fans
Elvis...psychophants
Elvis...the public enemy
Elvis...don't mean shit to Chuck D.
Elvis...changed the center of gravity
Made it slippy


Elvis...Hitler
Elvis...Nixon
Elvis...Christ
Elvis...Mishima
Elvis...Markus
Elvis...Jackson
Elvis...the pelvis
Elvis...the psalmist
Elvis...the genius
Elvis...generous
Elvis...forgive us
Elvis...pray for us
Elvis...Aaron
Elvis...Presley
Elvis.

I love this song. It's really good! That's all I have to say.

 

[ylimeU2]

Passengers...again.

Atleast I know I've heard this one. It gets stuck in my head if I'm ever unfortunate enough to hear it. I don't know about it, it is a very strange song. I just don't get it.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

It's about Elvis.

 

[innocent_eyes]

I never knew one damn word he was saying till I just read them...cool!

 

[biff]

I really love this one. Great, great lyrics, and such a funky sound.
Tremendous! Words from someone who really knew from Elvis. Look at the intricate detail of the words here....Brilliant stuff.

 

[xtal]

Can't believe he made "******" sound justified and cool. I cringe at the word, but in this song, it makes sense.

 

[intedomine]

Its brilliant, slots in nicely between the equally as brilliant plot 180 and corpse....

A sound to Bono is featured that we are not used to and that's a great thing for a u2 fan to hear....

 

[LMP]

It's a gr8 song but I always get it confused w/ "Elvis AND America"
