Bloody Gina is the nice lady who lives next door
Just think about it.
This woman is in charge of torturing you.
And this is her. The real her. With this sick grim little I swallowed your goldfish smile.
She says she is just a normal middle class American.
Like, no big deal, right?
This makes things a whole lot worse, you're thinking.
This makes things a whole lot worse, you're thinking.
She's torturing you, and telling you
This is what normal Americans do,
And the only difference between her and the rest of them
These normal middle class Americans,
These normal middle class Americans,
Is that she's allowed to do these things
And they are allowed only to think of doing things like these
And for some of them even that is enough even more than enough
Though for others, nothing would ever be enough
So that once those others are put in charge of torturing you
In that precise methodical knowhow-in-this-department way we have
The torturing department that is
Which is practically our middle name
In that precise methodical knowhow-in-this-department way we have
The torturing department that is
Which is practically our middle name
You'd better watch out if you know what's good for you
But if you've reached this point it may be
That nothing is good for you, or could possibly
Ever be good for you
Any more.
This woman wants you to believe she did everything she did
For the best of normal American nice lady next door reasons
And would be happy to go into more detail about it with you sometime
Say when she's torturing you
She says she had to do it because of top secret normal duty rule
#1212 which she can't ever tell you about due to loyalty
To you forget what and
You believe her.
She says she never knew
Never had a clue
And is now in charge of torturing you.
OK you think.
Maybe it's not Bloody Gina after all.
Just your imagination playing tricks, running away with you.
Maybe it's just some nice normal middle class lady.
Like, after all. Come on now. No worries.
What's to be scared of, right?
Still there's a certain suspense.
You can hear the clock on the wall ticking
Though there is no wall
And no clock.
Then you look up.
That took some nerve.
And she's in the cell with you and the two guards.
And she pulls off the hood.
And Jeeeeminy Crickets!! No!!
Gina!! Not you!!!
All of a sudden I'm starting to feel Totally Normal!!!
I swear it, Gina!
Just - no more, PLEASE!! OWWWW!!!

The Beatles: Run For Your Life (Rubber Soul Outtake)
ReplyDeleteI love that track.
ReplyDeleteGina is where it's at. Drumpf is just the effing sideshow.
Gina's bringing it all back home, baby.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much fellows. Why is it the light must always come from without, anymore. The light within seems to have been buried under that bushel. That'd be the one right over there, I believe. What's that you say? That bushel looks more like something deposited in panic from the back end of the Beast 666 as he was being whisked out of town during the cleanup sweep in preparation for the opening of King Bibi's shiny new Temple of American Asshats? Drumpf of course - the Israelis are saying today he is a "god", not quite the same thing as "God", but surely way up high in the Flexible Instant Mythological Pantheon Suitable for All Ceremonial and Military Occasions - will dispatch Empress Vonk and Consort Jared, with the special holiday candelabra kit secured in carry-on, and Bloody Gina closely observing the pouring-in of the packing-peanuts, while he, Lord Teeny Tiny Hands his imperial self, will be doing miniature golf, going over his Nobel peace prize for orange cheetoh chimps acceptance speech notes one more time and having a hamburger, back home. But uh, "home" is where, please? A country club? An aircraft hangar? A military base? A campaign rally?
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps "home" would be the source of the original Ur-Infestation, The Outer Boroughs, where it's thought funny to say, Haha, that's ok, we can ignore that old coot McCain, he's so dying!!
(And yes Duncan, great track that Run For Your Life, Nov 1965 the lads at peak production, Lennon already the demanding aggro niggler, famously hated the track, possibly probably giving too much away as it does, but then, if not to give and receive gifts, what were we ever to be here for?)
Twin woodboys arrive dawn this a.m. as Friday bagels being baked. Just back from hospital seeing Fitz & Teddy (Fitzgerald Peter and Theodore Kent Woodman) as we officially move tomorrow rain-soaked to the "other" Berkley. Krazyville+ as the gang finds a future together. Tom Clark will be required reading for all. k
ReplyDeleteVelly big news k. Have just studied numerous imposing shots of the competition. Royal Oak Mausoleum looks solid but maybe a little weak on the pineapple nut. Further down Woodward maybe? For the fennel specialty types (picky-picky)?
