Description:
The Lavalamps of Hippie Death.

We're just another Pixies rip-off band, trying to get our foot in the door.

The last minute of this goes on for 20 minutes live.

P.S. I quit my old band, Lavalamp and the Laughing Leprechauns, shortly after MJ's Woodstock. And if nothing happens with CBGB's, I'm going to drop the Hippie Death band and go back out as a solo artist......I can't stand my drummer!

Lyrics:
I Can’t See Your Face

As I look in the corner
I see nothing at all
I can’t hear any noises
Your name, I can’t recall

I can feel, but I can’t see your face

Maybe it’s an illusion
A spider in my brain
Gotta’ be a conclusion
Throw my heart in the rain

I can feel, but I can’t see your face

As I look at the ceiling
Count the holes in the floor
I have come to this number
400,044

I can feel, but I can’t see you face

As I think of a reason
I don’t remember this time
I SEE YOU
Maybe lost in confusion
Maybe losing my mind
I SEE YOU

As I think of the reason
I don’t remember this time
I SEE YOU
Maybe lost in confusion
Maybe losing my mind
I SEE YOU………….

I quit the band &mdash 05/03/08 - 02:58:23 AM
Last night, I quit the band. The drummer and I had it out (He was on peyote again). I said this is a punk band, not Peter, Paul and Mary. Anyway, the bass player and the guitarist went with the drummer, leaving me, once again, a man without a band.

Let me roll it to you &mdash 05/03/08 - 02:49:39 AM
Hope I don't roll to far. I never used to have the heart to sing punk. I used to prefer just breaking the b-string on my guitar.

Thanks bro,

LL

[ Reply to This ]
wha? &mdash 05/03/08 - 07:20:37 AM
Breaking the B string has been a favorite pastime of mine for years hehehe

Great song Dave. I love that ending - it caught me off guard and totally tripped me out. Cool lyrics.

great build and break - and perfect loose vocals. Cool bass and everything else is really good too. I'd give you guys a gig.

[ Reply to This ]
Thanks for the gig &mdash 05/04/08 - 04:47:36 AM
Right Bud, thanks for giving us our first gig. Too bad the band has already dumped me.

But, thanks a lot.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and taking a listen. Glad you liked it. Just punkin' out.

Wheee! &mdash 05/04/08 - 11:56:35 AM
It's the Adolescents on Special K. Psychedelic punk is a poorly explored genre, but I like this. Some of the best lyric work in the challenge yet.

Thanks for the good word about the lyrics. I really appreciate that. And thanks a bunch for stopping by. It was a fun challenge.

Dave

[ Reply to This ]
I think the best &mdash 05/04/08 - 09:43:26 PM
lyric in the whole challenge so far may be "As I look at the ceiling, Count the holes in the floor, I have come to this number, 400,044" - genius! Great track. The Pixies are a bunch of time-travelling rip-off artists who dropped out of a wormhole, skipped back in time and have been trying to replicate the coolness of this track ever since - and failing. This rocks. Nicely done. Peace.

Made my day &mdash 05/05/08 - 12:15:46 PM
Came home today and saw what you had written and thought, "I'm glad that someone listens to the lyrics. Thanks man. Made me feel good.

Although, sometimes I hope people don't look too deep into them. Sometimes, they're just nonsense, ya know?

LL

[ Reply to This ]
great &mdash 05/05/08 - 05:34:32 PM
this is even better than when I saw you guys play the Dead Boys re-union at the Mudd Club.

I think I remember tying to forget to remember that gig.

So yer band turned &mdash 05/05/08 - 07:18:46 PM
...their backs on ya, did they? Buncha bedwetters is what they are. This snarls, and slaps some great lyrics across the face to boot. I'm another guy enthralled with the "As I look at the ceiling..." verse... that one's immortal. Should be spray-painted on the side of the Voyager space probe so that other civilizations across the gulf of space can get a hint of what we're really all about.

[ Reply to This ]
Spray paint &mdash 05/06/08 - 03:31:57 AM
I spray painted that on my car, now everyone thinks I'm crazy.

I re-counted it's really 400,046.

Live from Dave's living room - a big slab of nastiness! You sound like Iggy on this Dave! Total rawk!
