Oh, naughty sneeky
You're so perceptive and I wonder how you knew
But these finks don't walk too well
A bad sense of direction
And so they stumble round in threes
Such a strange collection
Oh, you headless chicken
Can those poor teeth take so much kicking?
You're always so charming
As you peck your way up there
And these finks don't dress too well (Oh, no! Oh, no!)
No discrimination (Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!)
To be a zombie all the time (Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!)
Requires such dedication (Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!)
Oh please, sir will you let it go by?
Cos I failed both tests with my legs both tied
In my place the stuff is all there
I've been ever so sad for a very long time
My my, they wanted the works, can you this and that?
I never got a letter back
More for me, bless my soul
More for me, bless my soul
More for me, bless my soul
More for me, bless my soul
More for me, bless my soul
Oh, perfect masters
They thrive on disasters
They all look so harmless
Till they find there way up there
But dead finks don't talk too well (Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!)
They've got a shaky sense of diction (Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!)
It's not so much a living hell (Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!)
It's just a dying fiction. (Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!)
This album was one of a few that helped get me through my high school years. Still sounds great to me today.
Sorry if it sounds too "weird" for some of you.
you and me too. It's almost like we went to the same school.
What a blast from the past

I'll let my rating speak for me.
If that's a 10 you're in good company :)
Which is not always a synonym for likeable…
Always best perhaps in the album context of the closing 3 songs:
3."Dead Finks Don't Talk" Paul Thompson, Busta Jones, Nick Judd, Eno4:194."Some of Them Are Old" 5:115."Here Come the Warm Jets" 4:04
A fine medley.



"I like to play it. But I can't take the racket."

::raises hand::
Although admittedly I hadn't heard it until here.
I think you can't overlook the fact that this song made in 1974, and was WAY ahead of its time.
Can those poor teeth take so much kicking.
To be a zombie all the time
Requires such dedication.
THANKS BILL


Package me up in that wierdo box as well Mr. Beach ... .this is pure genius from a time and date when I stared for hours at the LP trying to figure this out. And freakin' out to the music .... and well .. you get the picture ..

When you think about it, 35 years old is pretty amazing. Most folks wouldn't be able to put a date to most of Eno's work. Even the Beatles' music, as well as the Stones, etc. is generationally obvious.

Truly bizarre, but I'm with Bob on this one. Somehow it works. It may require that one be a survivor of the 70s to feel that way, (if anyone can be said to have "survived" that bizarre decade) but pretty cool.

You haven't heard weird until you've heard Farmer Gabriel* by Moebius, Plank & Mayo (which was sorried immediately when I uploaded it to the LRC). More chicken references, too.

I'd like some sharp pointy sticks to jab into my ears now, please.
But, as others have said, thanks for the warning, bill. Now stop please? :)
...i thought it was frank zappa until i checked...

Please!! And Cindy Tells Me. (Agreeing with another prior comment)
I sorta like it though.
"I was just a broken head
I stole the world that others punctured
Now I stumble through the garbage
Slide and tumble, slide and stumble
Beak and claw, remorse reminder
Slide and tumble, slide and stumble
Back and forth and back to nothing
Keep them tidy, keep them humble.
Chop and change to cut the corners
Sharp as razors shiny razors
Stranded on a world thats dying
Never moving, hardly trying.
I was just a broken head
I stole the world that others plundered
Now I stumble through the garbage
Slide and tumble, slide and stumble."
Now that's what I'd like to hear on RP!


Ew. Just EW.

If that's a 10 you're in good company :)
I gave it a TEN. Thanx RP!
