Here are 2 of my ultra faves:
- Love comes in spurts by Richard Hell
I was a child
who wanted love that was wild
though tight as slow motion
but crazed with devotion
insane with devotion,
a whole other notion
I was fourteen and a half
and it wasn't no laugh
Love comes in spurts (oh no, it hurts!)
Love comes in spurts (oh no, it hurts!)
Love comes in spurts (it always hurts!)
Love comes in spurts (oh no!)
I just can't get wise
to those tragical lies
though I now know the facts
they still cut like an axe
baby, love comes in spurts
in dangerous flirts
and it murders your heart
they didn't tell you that part, baby!
Love comes in spurts (oh no!)
Love comes in spurts (oh no, it hurts!)
Love comes in spurts (oh no, it hurts!)
Love comes in spurts (it always!)
Love comes in spurts (oh no!)
Love comes in spurts (oh no, it hurts!)
Love comes in spurts (oh no, oh no, oh no!)
Love comes in spurts (it always hurts!)
- I saw an X-ray of girl passing gas (Butthole Surfers)
Ten foot tall and the nurse stuck a needle in my arm
Well Uncle Doc's nurse wields a needle with ungodly charm
Walkin' down the hall the dentist LOOMED through the door
I Saw an X-Ray of a girl passing gas
The one shot theory got a query things got rolling at last
Hey, HEY hey daddy, why die in the war
Jesus Hitler Buddha Santa Mary Klaus Barbie (Rice Bore?)
Well Ben got arrested and the sky was the ocean that day
Words got twisted and history didn't know what to say
God dog sex death life and now I'm feeling old
These images were conjured up by talking on the telephone
I Saw an X-Ray of a girl passing gas
Oh my God it seems like just the other day
But it might have been one hundred years before
And I know there is no other way
We only have to wonder what it's for
Great song & great lyrics! Richard Hell rerecorded the tune with the Voidoids after he left the Heartbreakers. Meanwhile Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers changed the lyrics to make it "One Track Mind"
