There are bands, and then there are groups. And The Frogs, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, just a short shot north of America's Midwest, are a fine group. These days being in a band means as much about perception as calculation, but there is little manipulation in this group because you see, The Frogs just are; point is they exist. They shouldn't really, because they are either too good for rock and roll, or too politically incorrect to matter. But they are one of the greatest rock groups to come out of the 20th century precisely because they are too good for rock and roll, and too smart to care about caring. Fine tunesmiths, they craft memorable hooks out quite readily before stomping on them because they dare to exist. Nothing is sacred, but the reverence is there for the unspeakable uncomfortability that is at the heart of merging electricity and feeling and commerce. They have neither won nor lost, they persist. Deal with them before they put you in their sights and deal with you by ignoring what you care about. Their agenda is clear; to love, but never in the way you love. Their love is strong, willful, and brutish. make a wish, and they can make it come true. - Billy Corgan
Lyrics :
BELOW, BELOW (instrumental)
BOYS WILL BE BOYS
Oh boys will be boys
Oh boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Till they...
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Till they become men
And the men
The men become men by being men
And the men become men by beating aids
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Till they become men
And the men
The men become men by being men
And the men become men by licking aids
John Wayne kicked cancer
Beat me off, off and on
Beat me off as often
As boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys and become these men
And the men
The men become men by being men
And the men become men by beating men
And the men become men by beating
Men become men by kicking
By beating aids
G-a-y
How do you spell misunderstood?
G-ay, G-a-y
What can be wrong when it feels so good?
G-ay, G-a-y
I know I'm goin' in the right direction
Down this holy road of erections
Why does the sun light up the sky?
G-ay, G-a-y
Why does your smile light up this guy?
G-ay, G-a-y
Fulfilled in your soft sheets of satin
In your arms anything can happen
G-ay, G-a-y
G-ay, G-a-y
MAN, MAN, MAN
Man, Man, Man
Man, Man, Man
You don't belong with a woman
You can do better than a woman
Getcha getcha getcha a good
Man, Man, Man
Man, Man, Man
You can do better than a woman
Anything's better than a woman
Try it, try it, try it, try
I once was with a woman
I once was with a man
I once was with a woman
We all make mistakes
Man, Man, Man
Man, Man, Man
You don't belong with a woman
Anything's better than a woman
Try it, try it, try it, try a man
I once was with a woman
I once was with a man
I once was with a woman
Get your sexuality straightened out
Man, Man, Man
Man, Man, Man
BLUE IS FOR BOYS
If blue is for boys and pink is for girls
I'm wearin' blue
To track down a man, the best one I can
'Tis what I will do
Now I see one
Who looks kind and free
His eyes are blue, his thoughts are blue
His heart is too
He's lost in a land of stereotyped demands
What's he gonna do
Now he sees a man, he's lookin' at me
I'm in ecstasy
If blue is for boys and pink is for girls
If blue is for boys and pink is for girls
Now he sees a man
If blue is for boys
Blue is for boys and pink is for girls
I'm wearin' blue
I'm wearin' you
SICK OF AIDS
I'm so sick of aids
I'm so sick of aids
It's weighing' weighin' me down
I'm so sick of aids
I'm so sick of aids
It's weighing' weighin' me down
I'm so sick of aids
I'm so sick of aids
Now
THE DAY I GOT AIDS
This is not a happy tale to tell
Did you get my letter
I'm happy as hell
"Cause today I got aids
This is the happiest gay day of my life
Don't wait by the mailbox
Don't wait by the mailbox
This is my last letter
The day I got aids
This is the happiest day of my life
There's a sparrow sitting cross-legged on the fence
Playin' with a worm around his beak
He may eat it eventually
I can't keep anything down
I can't keep food down
I'm having trouble even thinking straight but...
This is the happiest day of my life
Hey hey hey
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
Baby's got a heart that's 5 days old
Oh baby, you'd better listen to your soul
Baby's got a heart that's 5 years old
Oh baby, you've got a white trash soul
That's what she said
That's what she said
Baby's got a heart that's 5 days old
Oh baby, you'd better listen to your soul
Baby's got a gun that's 5 inches bold
Oh baby, you've got a white trash hole
That's what she said
That's what she said
But she don't know
Baby's got a gun that's...
Baby's got a heart that's...
Baby's got a mind that's...
Fucked-up baby's got nothin'
Just got a white trash soul
That's what she said
That's what she said
And she should know
JIMI HENDRIX WAS A VIRGIN
Jimi Hendrix was a virgin
And he liked his virgins clean
Jimi Hendrix was a virgin
The best you've ever seen
Jimi Hendrix was a virgin
As defined by you and me
Jimi Hendrix was a virgin
Sex Machine
Jimi Hendrix was a virgin
Jimi Hendrix was a virgin
PULL A KURT
Can't seem to get my mind together
I'm gonna pull a kurt
And The weather be damned
Can't seem to get my mind together
I'm gonna pull a kurt
And The world be damned
Ka ka blam
Ka ka blam
IF U HATE ME, LOVE ME
If you hate me, love me
If you hate me, love me
Dressed in that dress that you wear
I can see that you care
Your middle finger's in the air
If you hate me, love me
If you hate me, love me
Every time I hit you I always had a reason
Every time I kissed you I always wiped off my lips
Every time I struck blood you'd think I had struck some gold
Every time you saw the doctor this was his advice
If you hate me, love me
If you hate me, love me
FAMILIAR
Yeahhh
They brought you flowers
They brought you weeds
When love goes sour, taste something sweet
Familiar peculiar
Familiar peculiar
Familiar peculiar yeah
Familiar peculiar yeahhh
There are no excuses
There are no mistakes
And where you wanna be
Is where you are
My homing pigeon is coming home
She came from heaven
That's why she's so, so
Familiar peculiar yeah
It's what you need
It's what turns you on
Makes a bird go tweeeeet
BRING YER LOVE 2 ME
Bring your love to me
Bring your love to me
Bring your love to me
Bring your love to me
Now you're gonna love me
Now you're gonna care
Now you're so aware that you're unaware
Bring your love to me
Bring your love to me
Bring your love to me
Bring your love to me
Every night I lie awake
Waiting, dreaming
Every day I'm half asleep
Waiting, dreaming
Now you're gonna love me
Now you're gonna care
Now you're so aware that you're unaware
Bring your love to me
Bring your love to me
Bring your love to me
Bring your love to me
DARK BALLADEER (Instrumental)
MY WIG IS CRAZY
My wig is tan
My wig ain't right
My wig is crazy all through the night
ANOREXIC, FLAPJACKS & BOLTS
Anorexic, flapjacks & bolts
Makin' love to you
Anorexic, flapjacks & bolts
Gonna see you through
I only eat one day of the year
And that's my birthday
And if you don't mind I'd appreciate it
If you don't bake me a cake
I'll blow the candles out in my hands
I only make one phone call
That's to the weatherman
And if he don't mind I'd appreciate it
If he keeps the wind to himself
I don't want to be blown down
"Squirrel Bunny Jupiter Deluxe"
