Tell em All....

[mrblasty]

My best stab at this:

mine eyes can see the glory
of a common little whore we dressed in leather just to fool ya talkin faster than telulah
to an organ grinder tyrant now I'm dressing like a chimp
I'm a high class fire hydrant
I'm arrested, call my pimp
and tell em all...to go to hell

tell em all out to lunch til sunday

tell em all go to hell
tell em all I need a tv in this cell

one manager is pumping flesh in swank italian suits
while his partner is hard at rest in 100 dollar boots
they booked a gig in south dakota and a tractor pull in france
sent the post office our photo
and they're learning us to dance

and tell em all go to hell
you can tell em all
well out to lunch forever
tell em all go to hell
tell em all
I need a tv in this cell
oooh all is well
oooh all is well
oooh all is well
far as I can tell
far as I can tell em all go to hell

tell em all out to lunch forever
tell em all go to hell

That makes more sense.

IF I'm arrested call my pimp

This is my favorite on 3 o'clockreep, would love to hear the whole thing. It sounds like it's from the DTAS era, like some of the other parts of the record.

When I hear this song, along with Portland, Wake Up, We Know the Night, and the demos, I think to myself that DTAS could have been so much better than the original release (if in fact Tell Em All is from this era).

Sounds like two hundred to my ears.

Roger that on DTAS...if you haven't read the 'overproduced' thread, you should. You'll agree.

DTAS is rather overproduced, but for some songs it really seems to work. Talent Show, especially, sounds so powerful.
