DAAS Song Lyrics

        Ok, now we all know that DAAS are THE greatest band around, so I thought "Hey! I'll put some of the lyrics to their songs on my homepage, and people will know what they're singing!" Good thinking Malky, right? Wrong. But hey, they're here anyway, and as soon as I get them, I'll be putting some DAAS mp3's up here to, and expanding the lyrics list. I shouldn't need to say this to anyone who's listened to DAAS before, but to those who haven't... (why not, by the way?) some of you may choose to take offense to some of the lyrics here. Yes, choose. There is no such thing as something being offensive, it's how you react. These songs are all of a comdey intent, and if you choose to take offense, then you are silly, and should go back to reading Waiting for Godot or watching Catchphrase.

 

* Krishna (Riding Shotgun on the Stagecoach of my Life).


Set 'em up, break 'em down
And pass the cup around
It's the last that we will share for quite some time
I've shaved my hair - wear a dress
I've left my bonny wife
I've got Krishna riding shotgun on the stagecoach of my life

[Chorus]
  My sweet lord rama rama
  Got my ticket to Nirvana
  It's a commune just left of county Cork
  Share a pint with me lord Shiva
  As we read the Bhagavad Gita
  I'll have Krishna riding shotgun on the stagecoach of my life
        -of my life

Well I used to be a cattle prod for Jesus
And L. Ron Hubbard took me in some too
I was a moonie, loved Charles Manson
But they are not as handsome
As the godhead whose skin is shining blue

[Chorus]

Hari Hari Ha Hooray!
I chant it every day
with my virtue tucked proudly in my lap
And I pray all night to Krishna
'Cause he's a damned good listener
And he never ever ever answers back

[Chorus]

And when Irish eyes are trying to make the Pommies pay
We'll get Krishna and his shotgun to join the IRA
	the IRA - the IRA
Hari Hari Ha Hooray!

* I Want to Spill the Blood of a Hippie.

These are the 2 different versions I've heard. The first is from Icon, and the second from Live in N.Y            

 

Version 1:

 

Well I flipped my wig in the Valley of the Dolls
Went on a teenage rampage, what a trip trip trip
This psychedelic retro that they don't understand
Open up your mind, button up your lip lip lip

'Cause I'm sick - of conversations with people I despise
I'm sick - of free love and always quenching my desires
I'm sick - of groovy, dig it, and like wow
I'm sick - of it all I want to crush kill destroy

I wanna spill the blood of a hippy
I'm eager to stone a stoned child from the 60's
I wanna switchblade to cut their lovebeads
An enema, not love. That's what the world needs now.

My body is a temple, it's a sacred site
She's chanting mantras she's a loser lost in space space space
She's jacked into the junk she's got a velvet head
She's not high on life she's off her face face face

I say no more - "Alice when she's ten foot tall"
No more - "Blowin' in the wind" or "I shall be released"
No more - I got this headache, honey what's the use?
I'm gonna get a gun and make my own kinda fun

I wanna spill the blood of a hippy
I'm eager to stone a stoned child from the 60's
I wanna switchblade to cut their lovebeads
An enema, not love. That's what the world needs now.

Version 2:
I had a date at eight with a girl called Fleur
I had to meet her parents, what a trip trip trip
They offered me a joint, a cup of miso soup
And some tofu magic mushrooms oh how hip hip hip

Then I saw her - with a poster of Jimmy Hendrix on the wall
I saw her - change from a schooldress and into a sarong
I saw her - saying cool, dig it and like wow
Then I sawed her - in half, I can't tell which piece I want

I wanna spill the blood of a hippie
I'm eager to stone a stoned child from the sixties
I want a switchblade to cut their lovebeads 
Genocide not Genesis (YUK!). That's what the world needs now

We've had enough of farting vegetarians
Open up their mouths and feed 'em meat meat meat
Get all the buskers, dole bludgers and the junkies
Back on the crack and off the street street street

Well I say no more - "Alice when she's ten foot tall"
No more - "Blowin' in the wind" or "I shall be released"
There's a hippy in my house, he drives me mad
It wouldn't be so bad if he was someone elses dad

I wanna spill the blood of a hippy
I'm eager to stone a stoned child from the 60's
I wanna switchblade to cut their peenies
An enema, not love. That's what the world needs now.

* It's a Broad Lick Nic.


It's a broad lick nic
And I'll tell you while I'm able
Or I'll smash your skull if you're not
Drink enough Black label
It's a hard mans drink
And though the bottles broken
Put your money on the table
Strain the glass through your teeth

So we grew up mean lean
Kings of the street scene
Without a mothers guiding hand
To keep us clean
Down your rum
We'll take life as it comes
And all you blue rinse critics
Lick our literary bums

I drank my first pure malt
Before I was three
I smoked a pack of Dutch cigarettes
My pappy left for me

And I romanced a little lass
Who was twelve years my elder
At the age of six I held her
That year I also bed her
So before I was seven
My first child was born

I told a pack of filthy lies
As a politician
I heard my own confession
As an act of contrition
I spent ten years as a Trappist monk
In a village in Tibet
And I walked up Everest naked
Just to win a bet

Well I severed my leg
To win a one legged race
And when I won, I stitched it
Right back into place
I've fought Mohammed Ali
I've seduced Mata Hari
I've even worn a sari
When I impersonated Ghandi

And I dare any man here
To call me a liar
(Liar!)
But I swear I've seen Ezekial
I swear I've seen Isiah
Toasting marshmellows
In Beelzebub's fire

And we're mad mad mad
Dangerous to know
We never give a tinkers cuss
About the seeds we sow
And we stay up late
And never be forlorn
And when the morning comes around
We'll kiss the crack of dawn

We took the whacks from Kerouac's
And dusty Dostoyevsky's
And when all was said and done
Booze was all I had left me

For all the worlds great thinkers
Are all a looooaaaaaooooaaad of pus
And if you ask us how Zarathustra spoke
He spake thus,
Drink drink drink
Drink until you're drunk
Drink until you can't stand up
'til you're roly-poly stunk
'til your bladder bursts
'til you throw a fit to curse
'til they lift you up still comatose
And slamdance in the hearse

We're good, good, bad, bad
Ugly as sin
We mix up cough syrup
With our gin
So take your medicine
I pray that when I die
There's someone else around
To kiss my arse goodbye

Yes, I pray, I pray, I pray that when I die
There's someone else around to kiss my arse goodbye

* Dead Elvis.


I was floating through the cemetery late last night
When I saw a ghost who was outta sight
He said 'Down in the graveyard there's a party going on
So get down (get down) six feet
And sing a spiritual song
Everyone's invited we would be delighted
If you grabbed your favourite corpse and came along'

[Chorus]
  You don't move your arms and don't move your legs
  You just do the Dead Elvis
  You don't grind your pelvis it's the dance of the dead
  You just do the Dead Elvis

Your old hound dog's sniffin' at your tomb
Tryin' to find a bone that ain't been consumed
You can't jailhouse rock in your blue suede shoes
You just do (do do) the Dead Elvis

I bet you're lonesome tonight in your hole in the ground
Old Shep's all shook up and he's pissed on your crown
No one's crying in the chapel, so get wise (get hip)
There's some pretty heavy shit going down and you're it

Priscilla was delighted
All Dallas was invited
To poke fun a your corpse and kick your dog

[Chorus]

It was a terrible day, when you had your cardiac arrest
They tried to find your heart but couldn't cut through the flesh
You can't Viva Las Vegas when there's no viva left
You just do do do
The Dead Elviiiiiiiiis
You're dead Elvis

* Commies For Christ.


My tag's Tall Tim
    (no need to shout)
I said that's my name
    (so don't wear it out)
You see me here, I'm running hot
I'm a juicy hamburger 'cos I got the lot
I got a bone the size of a Tyrannosaurus Rex
Only one thing, I want your sex

My name is Tricky Ricky, if the situation's sticky
Then I'm your man, I got a plan
I used to be a brickie
I don't give a damn about what you say
And if you don't like that you'd better walk this way
    (Rock it Tricky Ricky, gonna rock it to the left
     Rock it Tricky Ricky, gonna rock it to the right)

My name is Paul, I'm the best of all
'Cos I'm in your face like a can of mace
    (bullshit!)
I'm a groove lick, love child, king of the verse
You mess with me boy, you leave in a hearse

Your God is a nothing God
Is a mealy mouthed God
Is a weak arsed God
My God is a really tough God
Is a straight line God
Is a good ole boy
Your God drinks peach nectar
Eats boiled fruit
Can't fart out loud
My God arm wrestled Khruschev
Eats meat, farts with pride
Hey, Hey

Commies for Christ
Hammers and sickles and the word's not flesh - it's steel
Commies for Christ
'Cos he's the man that carved the lamb - and made us feel
Commies for Christ
I'm having a sexual fling with a red under my bed
Commies for Christ
Drank too much altar wine, it's gone straight to my head

Take Marx, take Christ, take drugs
Take Marx, take Christ, take dr dr dr dr dr drugs

My God is a vengeful God
Is Cecil B. de Mille
He kills for the fun of it
    (Rep rep repetition, rep rep repetition, yo, yo)
Your God been around for too long
Can't get down, is an aging hippy
    (Hippy, hippy, skippy, skippy)
    (Tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch)
God, Hey

Commies for Christ
Go get some long knives to carve up these loaves and fishes
Commies for Christ
Support the cause or else someone could get vicious
Commies for Christ
'Cos he's the word you've heard - The truth, the light, the way
My God ain't risen, 'cos he's sleepin' in today

Take Marx, take Christ, take drugs
Take Marx, take Christ, take drugs
Commies for C C C CC CCC Coca Cola
Amen

* Skinhead Skippy.

There is a British version of this song, based on everyones favourite glove puppet and is titled Skinhead Sooty. It is that version of the song which is included in DAAS's Dead and alive CD.


Skippy's all grown up he's not a joey anymore
He's interested in getting pissed and passing out on the floor, Oi!
He glassed Mat Hammond with a bottle of stout
And threw a dart in Sonny's eyes before he ripped it out
Who's that walking on air?
Bouncing down the street without a care?

It's skin head Skippy, the killer kangaroo, Oi!
With blood soaked bovver boots and a racist attitude
A mean fucking mother's son
Not afraid of anyone
Got the others on the run
Here he comes, here he comes
Skippy the skin, Oi!
Tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, Oi!

Skippy's got a tattoo and he's gone and shaved his head
He's dating wallabies half his age
And getting them into bed
He says his old friends are all miserable pricks
They're married now or dead and gone
Or mentally sick
Who's that walking on air?
Bouncing down the street without a care?

Well Benji got the snip and tuck and now he's sniffing glue
 oh shit  that's great Flicka
Milo and Otis died at least eight times over
aah, woof, meow, oh, ah, doh, oh - that's eight
Rin Tin Tin blindly humps the leg of his owner
Hey Rin Tin Tin, what's that tune
Last Post. Damn, splinter! Ow!
Flipper became sushi
Mr. Ed loves drag
Lassie's a transvestite
And Gentle Ben, Gentle Ben's a fag
Who's causing havoc on the docks?
In a pair of bright red braces and cherry red docs!

It's skin head Skippy the fascist kangaroo
With a blood soaked Stanley knife
And a racist attitude
He'll wait until you're all alone
Crack your skull, break your bones
Send the pieces to your home
He's the one
All in fun
Skippy the skin-head
Oi, oi, oi, oi, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, Oi!

* Stimulate My Penis With Your Hand.

(The lost Gilbert & Sullivan song from The Mikado.) Only about 10 of these verses were played during their shows, the additional verses come from the DAAS Songbook, where even the guys thought a little censorship was in order (hence the ****). However that could have been deliberately done to allow our imaginations to fill the gaps; or maybe with a little careful erasing, and holding the book up to the light we could work out the missing words?


Loudly let the trumpets bray
Tum Tum Tara, Tum Tum Tara

Ladies and gentlemen we present for you now the lost songs of
Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado". These songs were censored at
the time by Queen Victoria herself because of their intense
political and revolutionary nature. We present them to you now,
translated from the original Japanese.

Loudly bang the sounding brasses
Bom Bom Babom Bom Bom Bom

Can we walk hand in hand through the park?
We'll whisper sweet nothings and love sonnets by the bard
It's a love I'll know will always last
If we walk hand in hand through the park

Shall we stroll along the promenade?
I shall buy you ice-cream treats and shield you from the sun
My heart beats louder than Venus did for Mars
Shall we stroll along the promenade?

Let us dine by romantic candlelight
We'll drink wine and whiskey and I'll get you slightly drunk
And if my hand slips, maybe you won't mind
If we dine by romantic candlelight

Shall I babysit for your sister Gwen?
I shall run round her house naked and try on her underwear
Oh! Have I said something wrong again?
Shall I babysit for your sister Gwen?

You look so lovely in your dress of pale chiffon
With its tight bodice and its lovely little bows
Oh please let me try it on
Please dress me up in pale chiffon

Can you staple-gun my genitals to the wall?
I wouldn't normally beg but I've been a trifle tense
We could both have a ball
If you staple-gun my genitals to the wall

Will you let me be your cocker-spaniel pup?
Punish me for disobedience, rub my nose in "it"
You can treat me rough (rough rough)
Oh! let me be your cocker-spaniel pup?

Push bamboo shoots up my arse
Beat me with piping while you wear a latex mask
I'm so shy I dare not ask
Will you push bamboo shoots up my arse?

Oh let me urinate upon your tongue
Let me give you a tickle with my little golden trickle
I will be your pee-wee chum
If you let me urinate upon your tongue

Oh, let me rub up against your thigh
Let me shoot my load and spray cum into your...(fa la la la)
I will be your very steady guy
If you let me rub up against your thigh

Can I fill your gutty-wutz with curdled cream?
Baby-gravy, a **** choker, a necklace made of ****
There's so much you'll be bursting at the seams
When I fill your gutty-wutz with curdled cream

Oh permit me to penetrate your arse
Push my red hot poker along the dirt shaft
I'm not the first - I will not be the last
Oh permit me to penetrate your arse

Let me lick your sticky sopping ****
Roll my tongue around your **** and kiss your ****
I'm so hot - Oh! I think you've got a rash
Let me lick your sticky sopping ****

We'll play with ****
A giant **** called **** I'm sure will do the trick
I will be your sweet little boy
If you let play with ****

[Everyone!]
Stimulate my penis with your hand
Help me reach climax with the back of your throat
I will be your ever-loving man
If you stimulate my penis with your hand

If you think this is an enjoyable operetta song, please feel free to browse the Gilbert and Sullivan WWW site :-)

* Mummy Dearest.


Hi ma, I've come back home
'Cause I don't like this world we live in
For all my faults and failures
Please tell me I'm forgiven
I want my old womb back
My cosy cubby-hole
I want to be your child again
Before I get too old

Mummy dearest, mother mine
It's me your baby boy
I know what's lacking in your life
That old maternal joy
So lets boil up some water
No need to get a nurse
It'll be just like the virgin birth
But only in reverse

Mummy dearest, mother mine
It's me your only son
Freud would have a field day
Trying to understand this one
Let's have a natural re-entry
Most doctors say it's easier
But I've brought a butchers knife
Just in case you want a caeser

It's not some old wive's tale
Or some unfortunate wisecrack
But you could use some extra weight
And I need to take a nine month nap
And I've been good, I've been good
Now I deserve a small reward
Don't want my birthday suit
I want to wear my umbilical cords

(You know, the ones with the jumbo flare with the spot of
blood around the cuff)

Mummy dearest, mother mine
Look what the stork brought back
I don't want no damp bunk bed
I want my foetal sack
I was a sad lonely child
I wish that you'd had twins
And if you can spare the room Ma
I'd like to bring some friends

Mummy dearest, mother mine
It's me your pookie bear
I don't want to hurt you
Or soil your underwear
'Cause you're my guru, my ma
My host, my home, my mentor
We could have a three course meal
If we boil up the old placenta
(Finger lickin' good ma)
