Traffic on a Sunday

from My Lair by Steve BLaque

/

about

one of my personal faves and dating to 1988 and my former band The Repromasters. This song was written from phase outs while driving a cab and is nothing more than a bunch of join the dots ideas. There's no real narrative and the locations are probably all very divergent, simply a piece that says more about having a thought and not having to defend it, though from time to time the image of a neighbor clamoring for a title that invokes the C word comes to mind...neighbors where would unbroken sleep be without them?

lyrics

Traffic on a Sunday
Steve Blaque

traffic on a sunday
makes life like a monday
what r the fucker's
doin' on the road
sunday driver
won't be told
coz he's full o' shit
n' thick as a brick

dancer
on a tv screen
got a body
that moves
to
the
beat machine
in a way that i like it
oh yeah that's good

fighter
with the bloodied face
got cuts on his eyes
takes a look around him
and then he dies
Benny Paret

traffic on a sunday
makes life like a monday
what r the fucker's
doin' on the road
sunday driver
won't be told
coz he's full o' shit
n' thick as a brick

radiator's hot
4 people shot
2 on thursday
1 on friday
don't ask me when the others
bit the dust
coz my radiator's hot
gotta get to the shop
oh yeah

love n' death go hand in hand
says the fat man from bananaland
you gotta respect that
you gotta respect that



when yer mum says bye
but you say hi
to the pretty girls
u know yer healthy
when the car you drive
makes all those guys
wanna kill
oh yer wealthy
oh yer wealthy

stupid fuckin' man
with his stupid fuckin' mower
cuts his fuckin' grass
at half past six
stupid fuckin' woman
with her stupid fuckin' phone
makes her fuckin' noise
now yer all alone

didn't you kill yer mother
didn't yu kill yer brother
didn't yu kill yer sister
didn't yu kill yer father

life on earth is hell
give me a sabotage shell

pretty little lady
with the long dark hair
got oriental eyes
to hide that disguise
she's in love
with a married man

actor moves his head
like a horses head in bed
screams out in vain
you don't feel his pain
you don't feel his pain

traffic on a sunday
makes life like a monday
what r the fucker's
doin' on the road
sunday driver
won't be told
coz he's full o' shit
traffic on a sunday
makes life like a monday
what r the fucker's
doin' on the road
sunday driver
won't be told
coz he's full o' shit
traffic on a sunday
makes life like a monday
what r the fucker's
doin' on the road
sunday driver
won't be told
coz he's full o' shit
