Cake, anyone?

Any fans of the band Cake? I'm just starting to really get into this band. I find their lyrics to be hilariously weird. Has anyone heard that song, "Short Skirt, Long Jacket"? hehe, you MUST listen to it. Guaranteed to make you giggle. Perhaps I will post the lyrics here if I can find them.

"Short Skirt/Long Jacket" (Cake)

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond,
I want a girl who knows what's best,
I want a girl with shoes that cut,
and eyes that burn like cigarettes.

I want a girl with the right allocations,
Who is fast, and thorough, and sharp as a tack.
She's playing with her jewelry,
She's putting up her hair,
She's touring the facility
and picking up slack.

I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket.

I want a girl who gets up early, (gets up early!)
I want a girl who stays up late, (stays up late!)
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity,(uninterrupted!)
Who uses a machete, to cut through red tape.

With fingernails that shine like justice,
and a voice that is dark like tinted glass,
She is fast, and thorough, and sharp as a tack.
She's touring the facility
and picking up slack.

I want a girl with a short skirt and a long, long jacket.

(na na na na.....)

I want a girl with the smooth liquidation, (smooth liquidation!)
I want a girl with good dividends, (good dividends!)
At Citibank we will meet accidentally, (meet accidentally!)
We start to talk when she borrows my pen.

She wants a car with a cup holder-arm rest,
She wants a car that will get her there.
She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen,
She's trading her MG for a white Chrysler LaBaron

I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket.

(na na na na na.....)

I don't know why, but this song cracks me up, so I have to post it. It's not even supposed to be funny I don't think. It's just the way he sings it. lol

"Never There" (Cake)
I need your arms around me
I need to feel your touch
I need your understanding
I need your love, so much
You tell me that you love me so
You tell me that you care
But when I need you (baby)
Baby, (you're never there)

On the phone long, long distance
Always through such strong resistance
First you say you're too busy
I wonder if you even miss me

Chorus:
Never there
You're never there
You're never ever, ever, ever, there
Never there
You're never there
You're never ever, ever, ever, there
(Trumpet Break)
A golden bird that flies away
A candle's fickle flame
To think I held you yesterday
Your love was just a game
A golden bird that flies away
A candle's fickle flame
To think I held you yesterday
Your love was just a game

You tell me that you love me so
You tell me that you care
But when I need you (baby)
Baby!

Take the time to get to know me
If you want me why can't you just show me?
We're always on this roller coaster
If you want me why can't you get closer

Chorus

okay I'm going to bed now...I've been on this website almost all day. how sad. lol

I will have to check them out! Thanks for sharing Phoenix!

I know htose songs.. I just didn't know who sang them. They're wildly addicting and I can't help myself from singing to them. Also, they don't put me to sleep (which most music does) another plus.

No Prob, Star! For some reason I really think when you hear their music you will really dig them. They are sweetly quirky like you!! lol 🙂

Gwendylyn, yes I agree, very addicting, and I have yet to hear a song they've done that depresses me! I like that. Even the more "serious" songs they do, make me feel happy for some reason...lol 🙂

Gwen, you don't need to answer this if you'd rather not, but may I ask your sign? I'm curious. Just say, "I plead the fifth" if you'd rather not answer. lol.

That's odd- it happened again, I posted and it didn't post but if hit back it says I posted. Maybe I'll talk to dxpnet.

Anyway, I'm a pisces if you haven't already seen from my other post on your weird astrology topic.

I like Pisceans...I should have known you were one, what with the "Metaphysics" topic! 😛

Yes, file a topic on the "how would you make this site better?" boards.

dxp will help you out.
