certainly the best band ever, if we can count Cravats/Dada Cravats Laboratory/DCL Locomotive/The Babymen/The Very Things as one multi-headed creature, and I'm going to, whether you like it or not
YOU EAT YOUR STODGY GOO AND YOUR TEETH GO BAD
YOUR BREATH SMELLS OF CIGARETTES AND THAT'S TOO BAD
YOUR DADS DRIVE MARINAS DOWN CUL DE SACS
WHILE YOUR SONS CREEP AROUND IN THEIR PLASTIC MACS
I HATE THE UNIVERSE
HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH THE HUMAN RACE
SWALLOW MY PRIDE, SUCH A BITTER TASTE
BEEN CAGED UP AND TIED DOWN TOO FUCKING LONG
THE PRESSURE SO GREAT CAN SO MANY BE WRONG?
I HATE THE UNIVERSE
2 MILLION YEARS AND WE REACH THIS PLACE
TURN AROUND AND STARE IT IN THE FACE
IF I DESPISE FOR TOO LONG,IT'LL BE TOO LATE
BUT RIGHT AT THE MOMENT ALL I CAN DO IS HATE
I HATE THE UNIVERSE
.......being the inane grumblings of a decrepit old punk rocker... whining about life with chronic fatigue, music I'm listening to, books I'm reading and random thoughts about how shit the government are.......

You're my only friend, you don't even like me (THE best song ever)
the best song ever written and performed by humans
teen angst never summed up more succinctly than the chorus to "My Pal" by God
and that there singer? 17 at the time. damn, man
to be a partyhead
something I could never do
I don't like no one
except for you
you're my only friend
you don't even like me
come on over to my house
I got a plan for you
you're not gonna come
but I want you to
you're my only friend
you don't even like me

one of the bestest songs ever
Saw this on Snub TV in 1989. Already like a bit of REM and a lot of indie, but this was instrumental in steering me towards music that was a tad less "raggghhhh fuck the government", as well as being a fucking spine-tingler of epic proportions.
sitting watching clouds go by
falling across a very wide sky
it's the night of the chill blue
and i'd like to say how I love you
but it's all been said in other songs
and if i try to say it new
then i'll say it wrong
so I think of you, the only one
i wish that it was just us two
but it's you and me and us - that's three
twinkling stars over foreign lands
silent camel train on desert sands.
Its the night of the chill blue
and I hope to god you feel this too
