Lovage

you and me are a disease and the germs are spreading
use me like listerine, keeping your breath fresher
feel the stroke of your paintbrush, my blank sheet of paper
i'm your book of the month, read the fine print later

we'll invent new four letter words
you are the bitter, i am the sweet
run through the fields, sing with the birds
you are the griddle, i am the meat

i'll turn you on like the electric company
you are the bitter, i am the sweet
flick on the switch and light your pilot light
you are the griddle, i am the meat

you and me are a disease and the germs are spreading
use me like listerine, keeping your breath fresher
feel the stroke of your paintbrush, my blank sheet of paper
i'm your book of the month, read the fine print later

we'll laugh away our golden years
you are the bitter, i am the sweet
we'll line the clouds with silver tears
you are the griddle, i am the meat

you and me are a disease and the germs are spreading
use me like listerine, keeping your breath fresher
feel the stroke of your paintbrush, my blank sheet of paper
i'm your book of the month, read the fine print later

you and me are a disease and the germs are spreading
use me like listerine, keeping your breath fresher
feel the stroke of your paintbrush, my blank sheet of paper
i'm your book of the month, read the fine print later

you are the bitter, i am the sweet
you are the griddle, i am the meat
you are the trick, i am the treat
you are the circus, i am the freak

you are the bitter, i am the sweet
you are the griddle, i am the meat
you are the trick, i am the treat
you are the circus, i am the freak

- Lovage, "Book fo the Month"

One of my workmates wants me to listen to the Lovage album because she says it's incredibly sexy. Usually she listens to Mariah Carey and Jill Scott. She hadn't heard of Mike Patton before Lovage. :D

That's brilliant! You know that Mike Patton and Mariah Carey used to be an item, right?

Maybe your workmate will pick up his next album, Peeping Tom. It's apparently got Norah Jones on it!!! He says he's got her spouting all kinds of filth. Then again, before she was famous she used to run with the Rugged Man.

Lovage is pretty damn sexy, almost in spite of itself. It's ridiculous. Didn't the "Chest Rockwell" intro tip her off? How about Afrika Bambaataa's bit, where he gives the tip that to avoid STDs all you need to do is change your socks every day?

Not long now to PT!!

Apparently there is a new Lovage album in the works too.

When is PT due out? I'm tempted to pre-order the fucker.

Oh yeah, I heard that RA track where he mentions hanging with "a lounge singer named Norah" ... it's a free download somewhere on the web. betterpropaganda.com probably.

I knew this chick named Norah, a lounge singer
A year later, she a 6 Grammy award winner
