I saw a girl
At the super market
and I wanna eat her fruit
Yes I do!
And I saw a girl
at the coffee shop
and i wanna be that big old book in her hand
yes i do.
I saw a girl
standing in line
and i wanted to be her meal
i wanna be her home
i wanna be her bed
i wanna be her pillow where she lays her halo

These ain't no tea party saucers
Delicate decorum and manners
And I bet you don't even like to drink tea
People who do are tree hugging faggots
You hate welfare
You hate medicare
Until you're on it.
Fiscally conservative
Forgot about military spending
Don't you know
It's a big part of it.
Dressed up
White make up
Replica revolvers
Red coats and wigs
I think of you as the...
British!

I
Don't have a single thing
To say
A discourteous, selective mute
And if you
Have something to
Contribute
Then speak up
We'll never, never
Get out of this place
With attitudes like that
And I can't even
Picture the pyramids
Drawn in the sand
Silently
And we
Could build a home
And you could be a pharaoh
And I'll be your priest
Unleash a swarm of plagues
And subjugate the peasant folk
With slight of hand
Mirrors and smoke
Oh these pagan ideas
Another victory like that
And we're done for
I don't have the dexterity
To be a god
Do you?
Let's ritualize ourselves
To ourselves
I am you and you are too...Too!

I was a snake
Just the other day
I beheld the fairest creature
And I had to
Speak with her
I had to show her
My wonders
And I put death on the table
I was just trying to help her
With up keep of that
Damn garden
I was a snake
And I was tempted
By that girl
I knew I had to kill it
So I killed it
not with my fangs
but with my words

Sly Roosevelt Huntington, West Virginia
Sly Roosevelt is a four member Alt Rock band from Huntington, West Virginia. Often described vaguely as “experimental indie,” their music plays with elements from a number of genres: introspective singer-songwriter lyrics sung in an abrasive punk-like style, swelling guitar riffs, complex structures, catchy pop melodies, progressive drum kit work and dance breaks. ... more
Sly Roosevelt recommends:
Gritty, agressive, energetic, and youthful: Rat Ship is your new favorite rel-ship because you can't quit loving them.

and Curtis and Fox
by Coyotes in Boxes
The production of this heartfelt rock album is just as novel, tidy, and well mannered as the fine young men responsible for it. We love this band and you will too.

My Second Debut Album
by Abbie from Mars
Experimental pop artist and WFMU radio personality Abbie from Mars re-introduces herself on this playful, idiosyncratic album.
go to album
Sweetly strange indie rock with a dreamy vibe and skittering rhythms sounds like it was made by angels.

Music that’s woozy and mysterious, like a warped 7-inch, played a speed too slow
