The painted cow ! Yeaaaaaaaaaaah!! You ain't stoppin' us now ! (Wonderful human beings) (HEY!) Yeah ! I am the junglist soldier Come On! The rocket launcher stopped ya! (HEY!) It's not a bird, it's not a plane ... It must be Dave who's on the train... Wanna wanna get'cha, gonna gonna get'cha! Tell 'em that I told ya Yeah!
The cadillac stood by the house and the Yanks they were within, And the tinker boys they hissed advice 'hot wire her with a pin', Then we turned and shook as we had a look In the room where the dead man lay, So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip to the land where his fathers lay....
Absolute quality record by one of the finest lyricists and bands ever imho; this track tells a story unlike the shite nowadays.
I also quite like the lyrics to the Manics tune 'Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayit’sworldwouldfallapart' however i cannot be arsed to post them.

Every mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to big John (Big John, big John) Big bad John (big John) Nobody seemed to know where John called home He just drifted into town and stayed all alone He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy And if you spoke at all, you just said hi to Big John Somebody said he came from New Orleans Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand Sent a Louisiana fellow to the promised land, big John (Big John, big John) Big bad John (big John) Then came the day at the bottom of the mine When a timber cracked and men started cryin' Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last, 'cept John Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, big John (Big John, big John) Big bad John (big John) And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove Then a miner yelled out "there's a light up above!" And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave Now there's only one left down there to save, big John With jacks and timbers they started back down Then came that rumble way down in the ground And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine Everybody knew it was the end of the line for big John (Big John, big John) Big bad John (big John) Now, they never reopened that worthless pit They just placed a marble stand in front of it These few words are written on that stand At the bottom of this mine lies a big, big man Big John (Big John, big John) Big bad John (big John) (Big John) big bad John Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Jimmy Dean

When I was a boy just about the eighth-a grade Mama used to say "don't stay out-a late with the bad-a boys Always shoot-a pool Giuseppe going to flunk-a school!" Boy it make-a me sick all the t'ing I gotta do I can't-a get-a no kicks, always got to follow rules Boy it make-a me sick just to make-a lousy bucks Got to feel-a like a fool And-a mama used to say all-a time...
What's-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect? What-a you t'ink you do, why you look-a so sad? It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place Ah shaddap-a you face! That's-a my mama, I can remember!

Yeah, alright, hold you See, this guy comes up to me His face red like a rose on a thorn bush Like all the colours of a royal flush And he's peeling off those dollar bills Lapping them down one hundred, two hundred And I can see those fighter planes I can see those fighter planes Across the mud huts where the children sleep Through the valleys and the quiet city streets We take the staircase to the first floor We take the key and slowly unlock the door A man breathes into a saxophone Through the walls we hear the city groan Outside it's America, outside it's America
So I'm back in my hotel room With John Coltrane and a love supreme And in the next room I hear a woman scream out Her lover's turning off, turning on the television And I can't tell the difference between ABC News Hillstreet Blues and a preacher on the Old Time Gospel Hour Stealing money from the sick and the old Well, the God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister I feel a long way from the hills of San Salvador Where the sky is ripped open and the rain pours Through a gaping wound, pelting the women and children Pelting the women and children Run, run in to the arms... of America
