SocietyFringePodcast's podcast

Through this podcast SFP is creating an extended universe through the use of guitar based pop songs. The tale is both episodic and serial. As of the COVID lock down the SFPeeniverse consisted of 7 Broadway style musicals. This is ambitious stuff. The conceit is that an '84 Chevy El Camino acts as a TARDIS catalyst connecting the characters to unlimited story telling opportunities.

LEAVE TOWN

 

He'll come looking before long

It's after sunset get along

It ain't worth it give it up

Locked and loaded saddle up

Heart is beating out of time

He'll come gunning by and by

 It's wide open

 

Don't go down

Just leave town

SHE

 

She had never seen America before, pure America, full of hatred, racism, religious intolerance, endless strip malls, and opportunity.

 

She never learned much at school, maybe how to blow marijuana smoke into a roll of toilet paper in the girl's bathroom. What she did learn had nothing to do with books, teachers, standing in line, none of that shit. What she learned was "always be on guard. If you see an opening do it to them before they do it to you. And when all else fails? Run."

 

When she was a little girl she thought of love as a mystery. When she got a little older she viewed it as a cruel liar. Now it's her life. Sex is sex. Druga are drugs. Eating ain't cheating. And hugs are shrugs. She says "I'm going to ride this palomino 'til I get to the promised land, 'til Jesus as the devil himself opens up her arms to me and says..."

 

"You're finally home."

50  "Ringo?" "Yes!"

55  "You know I have that 45?"

60  "We're awesome."

WEST MEXICO

 

West Mexico just feels so empty to me

Beautiful people sunning themselves

We've smoked up everything in town

We look like walking trash

Makes me and Charlene laugh

I want to fuck her in the sand

I want to fuck her in the sand

I want to fuck her in the sand

We're getting out of here, man

We're off to Asia

 

West Mexico feels a bit sadder to me

Like a barroom brawl in a library

Like a fish stuck up in a tree

Like somebody else's memories

Flashing straight through me

West Mexico seems so selfish to me

It's the edge of life to dreams

It's the edge of life to dreams

It's the edge of life to dreams

It's the edge of life in my dreams

And I see the lions on the shore

Like Poppa and the Old Man had done before

And I wonder "are they starting to roar

Or are they just starting to snore?"

Release me release me release me release me 

 

West Mexico I'm too tired to see

What's surrounding me

What's surrounding me

What's surrounding me

What's surrounding me?

Release me release me release me release me

I'M JOHN WAYNE

 

Bullet wound nothing new

I'm on the trail hot pursuit

That Indian punk that bitch of his

Going to rip their eyes out piss on up inside their skulls

I'm John Wayne

 

I'm born to kill so suit me up

The government recruit me up

I'm daddy-o I'm fucking gone

Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill

I'm John Wayne

 

I got the urge the urge to maim

I must inflict inflict my pain

Got my hands got my mind

Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill

All the time

I'm John Wayne

A REAR VIEW MIRROR

 

There's a window by a courtyard by a house

It's six hundred and thirty five pieces give or take

It's seen five families pass by

Now it can't reflect of the sky as the night time goes by

 

There's a bible by the window by the courtyard but now it's just ash

By the bible's a safe holding letters, it never held cash

By the safe is a little girl's doll

And the bones of a dog on the prowl

It likes next to the doll

Oo oh

 

There's a football by the doll it's deflated and caked to the earth

Over top of the house is a freeway, a modern world birth

Now last time the house just collapsed

It's usefulness gone now perhaps

Now it's muddy bike tracks

Oo oh

VEGAS MARRIAGE

 

Texas is fading fast

Look at them South Dakota plates

That Caddy is our next blast

Headed west suck the desert dry

The FBI ain't no match for me

Look at old Billy Redfoot fly

Charlene's face is in my lap

Blasting through the Vegas skyline baby

Gonna marry her tonight hope they don't need no birth certificates

 

I think the preacher's gonna die

He's choking up chunks of lung like chocolate pudding

Me and Charlene got to laugh

I'm glad she snagged some extra napkins from the diner

The organ player she's a whore

She gave Charlene her business card

The ceiling seems somewhat stained

Charlene said "How did those stains get up there?"

I'm gonna marry her tonight hope they don't need no birth certificates

I took her as my lawful wedded wife then I fucked her in the Cadillac

The future seems to be a shining beacon in the night

It is unwritten so a breath of newness flows through me like benign poison

Diamonds sparkle like a Mozart song we're tripping balls so say "so long"

We're in a psychedelic orgasmic euphoria
