The Dandy Warhols - ...The Dandy Warhols Come Down (1997)

I'd love to hear the original version of Come Down, but this album kicks ass on its own, so I don't mind. The songs are sharper ("Hard On for Jesus" rocks) and the drones are dronier ("I Love You", I do). Definite step up from the already phenomenal Dandys Rule OK.

"Pete International Airport" and "The Creep Out" are instrumental.

"Be-In"

In my room, alone in my room
And I'll be here for a while
And can't you see
I'm holier when I
I'm feeling good enough to try?

All the drugs that you bring
If they're antiquated beyond belief
Might just be good enough to get me high

Am I, am I
My only, only, only friend?
That I am, I

Am I, am I
My only, only, only friend?
That I am, I

In my gloom, I'm only in my doom
And I'll be in for a while
I used to think
While I'd sit and wait for the phone to ring
That I'd be happier if just, am I

Am I, am I
My only, only, only friend?
That I am, I

Am I, am I
My only, only, only friend?
That I am, I

Only, only, only, only
Only, only, only, only
Only, only, only, only
Only, only, only, only

Only, only, only, only
Only, only, only, only
Only, only, only friend
That I am, I

"Boys Better"

Boys had better beware
You could seem to color your hair
Or on a wig, you already spent
All the dough to cover your rent

But not so cool, man, if you care
For all the other boys caught in your bleach-job hair
And girls better beware
Boys, you better, you better

Boys had better beware
You could seem a wasted affair
And like a bitch, you already spent
All the dough you promised your friends

But not so cool, man, if you care
For all the other boys caught in your bleach-job hair
And girls better beware
Boys, you better, you better

(Boys said
She had
Like, God's hands
Amen)

Oh man, it's not fair
To all the other boys caught in your bleach-job hair
And girls, you better beware
Boys, you better, you better

"Minnesoter"

Yeah, I could rock her
Like a doctor
If I found a way to get her off first

I could own her
The crazy loner
If I found my way to Minnesoter

Yeah, in a slumber
I'm sawing lumber
I saw my baby dance a Latin number

With her shirt off
Man, her skin's soft
But in a mood, she'd rather if I jerked off

If I found my way to Minnesota
Minnesota

Yeah, I could rock her
Like a doctor
If I found a way to get her off first

Well, I could own her
The crazy loner
If I found my way to Minnesoter

Yeah, if I found my way to Minnesoter
Yeah, if I found my way to Minnesota
Minnesota

"Orange"

If I look down this road
It's not so old, I know
Ain't it white like snow
But somehow painted in gold?

And when I'm lost and torn
A soldier of orange, I
Like a roll-in snow
On a doctor's show, I

If I look down this road
It's not so old, I know
But ain't it white like snow
Somehow painted in gold?

But when I'm lost and torn
I'm a soldier of orange, I
I like a roll-in snow
On a doctor's show, I

But when I'm lost and torn
I'm a soldier of orange, I know
But like a roll-in snow
On a doctor, full-time show

"I Love You"

I love you

I only just met you before
But I can't understand, you don't want me more?
You maybe think I'm too smart and weird
But that should only make you want to hear that

I love you

You make me feel really unsure
But that should only make you feel secure
Although we've only known each other a bit
Already I can't sleep at night and I feel like shit
That's right

"Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth"

I never thought you'd be a junkie
Because heroin is so passé

But today, if you think that
I don't know about depression and emotional pain
You're insane, and you're a fool
Who hasn't paid attention to a word that I say

In a way, I can't help but feel responsible
I always knew that you were insane
With your pain, but I never thought you'd be a junkie
Because heroin is so passé

Heroin is so passé

Nowadays, you never thought you'd get addicted
Just be cooler in an obvious way
I could say, shouldn't you have got a couple piercings
And decided maybe that you were gay?

In a way, I can't help but feel responsible
I always knew that you were insane
With your pain, but I never thought you'd be a junkie
Because heroin is so passé

Heroin is so passé

"Every Day Should Be a Holiday"

Summertime
If I was getting paid
For getting drunk
And getting laid

I'd grab a phone
To call you up and say
"Quit your job
'Cause I got it made"

Anytime
Baby, let's go
Every day
Should be a holiday

Super cool
The Dandy's rule, okay
Got the dough
And got the raves

Anytime
Just call me up if you
Got the sun
'Cause I got the waves

Anytime
Baby, let's go
Every day
Should be a holiday

Anytime
Baby, let's go
Every day
Should be a holiday

Anytime
Baby, let's go
Every day
Should be a holiday

Anytime
Baby, let's go
Every day
Should be a holiday

"Good Morning"

In my good, good morning
I'm up before what the sun can bring
Early morning, and
Everyone like a shiny thing

All my angels
Appear before my window saying
"Good morning"
In my good, good morning

In my good, good morning
I feel before my thoughts all spring
Am I conscious or
Is this my unconscious being?

No more like a dream than a
God before my conscience saying
"Good morning"
In my good morning

In my good, good morning
I'm up before what the sun can bring
Early morning, and
Everyone like a shiny thing

No more like a dream than a
God before my conscience saying
"Good morning"
In my good morning

"Whipping Tree"

You've got me
All tied up to the whipping tree
But, oh, my friend
I'm just glad to be in love again

My dear, it's queer
I know low and I know fear
If it's real, I feel
I'm not a man enough to handle it still

"Green"

You opened the door
I left myself in-between you and me
I only believe what I want to

I guess it's because I'm greener than green
Only because I'm green
Only because I'm green

I came up to your floor
You were dressed just a little obscene
And it shut me down
Quite sexually, like a pre-adolescent

Because I'm greener than green
Only because I'm green
Only because I'm green
Only because I'm greener than green

Only because I'm greener than green
Only because I'm green
Only because I'm green
Only because I'm green

Only because I'm greener than green

"Cool as Kim Deal"

Hey, there's nothing in my art
I'd rather be cool than be smart
Hey, what I'm thinking of
I'd rather be cool than be loved

Here's what I feel
I just want a girl
As cool as Kim Deal

Hey, I thought that you were, though
Well, I've had it too, had it rough
Hey, I don't care if I'm wrong
'Cause right always takes too long

Here's what is real
I just want a girl
As cool as Kim Deal

Here's what I feel
I just want a girl
As cool as Kim Deal

As cool as Kim Deal

"Hard On for Jesus"

Oh yeah, Jesus
You got me going
And I know just like I know
No way of knowing

I gotta have faith
I gotta believe
That the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings
Come and set me free

Oh yeah, Jesus
You got me going
And I know just like I know
No way of knowing

I gotta have faith
I gotta believe
That the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings
Come and set me free

Jesus
