In 1995 TISM released this song & Michael Jackson died of a drug overdose in 2009. Prophetic, a sign or an omen?
๐ถ I drank the slab that Bon Scott drunk
I injected some of Hendrix's junk
I booked a seat on Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane
Mama Cass's sandwich, I ate the same
...
Where'll I get my next drug action?
Odds on it'll be Michael Jackson ๐ถ

BIG Carl Douglas sample: criteria met ๐
๐ถ Come back DJ
They'll suss why you came
Double-decking in the cubicle
With DJ underage
...
Hurry, put your cans back on
They've started lobbing theirs
I think De Rigueurmortis
Has started setting in
...
But you're still out the back
With some private school girl
Doing blow with slim boy's fat ๐ถ

๐ถ Dylan Thomas was a piss head
Jackson Pollock was a prick
Norman Mailer hates women
It's an end of season trip
Heroes seem so from a far
But if you meet 'em you'll think twice
Genius is different from the rest of us
Most Of Us Are Nice! ๐ถ

Tom Lehrer's "I Got It From Agnes" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6qFG0uop9k) is the 1960s version of TISM's "I Rooted a Girl Who Rooted a Guy Who Rooted Shane Crawford" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IXyDhR5xxQ)

Song: Schoolies Week

๐ถ Lucifer's got issues with paradise
So he blocked the view with miles of high-rise
Car yards far as the eye can see
& a million teens who think they're free
Devil don't need fire & brimstone
His place is full of kids with mobile phones
You still get weeping & gnashing teeth
But that's just bad 'E' & too much lemon Ruski
In hell it's always
Schoolies Week ๐ถ

๐ถ Husbands sat in discrete cafes
And flirted with their wives
"I'll give you head," all girlfriends said
"Don't worry," said the guys
...
The teachers' faces paled
They wouldn't have been in trouble
With a cop from New South Wales
"I'm taking you back home right now
Don't dare not call me pig
And you can explain why you were caught
Drug-free to your kids" ๐ถ

๐ถ Life is full of problems and here's the remedy
Denial works for me
There's a freight train coming loaded with anxiety
You're tied to the tracks, don't worry (Denial works for me)
Why put off till tomorrow, responsibilities
They'll just come back to haunt you (Ignore them totally) ๐ถ
Oh, a rock band blending pop and psychedelia with traditional instrumentation?

๐ถ... Who'd flatten you with mindless glee when they got really newted.
Behind the bottleshop you'd see the roughest justice done:
Yeah, it was assault and battery - but with a sense of fun,
And a drink together after, when the ambulance had come... ๐ถ
Double TISM week, lucky you.

Someone's left their lights on in the car park of love.
...
Now it's advertisements, and pop videos will whine โ
We can't afford the beauty of a silent quarter time! โ
So, returning to our cars, just like lives and years,
We turn the key, only to find the love has disappeared."

๐ถ Being healthy, it's carcinogenic
And life's a game show called It's Epidemic
Why aren't crocodiles vegetarian?
How come Atilla wasn't a honey?
Why didn't Hitler stay a librarian?
Why don't people find rock bands funny?

You want asylum? Instead, you end up in one ๐ถ

21 years ago I bought my then 5 year old son a #TISM t-shirt (that was only being sold in children's sizes) that had the lyrics to "All Homeboys are Dickheads" written on it.
"Oh what a beautiful shirt, what do those words say?... why would you put that on a child?!?"
...because it's funny. He loved that shirt, though didn't get the joke back then of course.
He gets it now and here he is at 26, wearing the shirt I bought at the last gig and holding the one from 21 years ago ๐
