"I was pissing on the flame, like a child with cash, or a king on cocaine. I've got the world by the balls, am I supposed to behave?" So good. FJM is my fucking hero.
the best stand alone single song on the album, dont get me wrong there are other great songs on Pure comedy, but this one takes the cake...and the water ;)
Dance like a butterfly and drink like a fish If you're bent on taking demons down with only your fist And I've never known anyone who could lose himself in a bigger paper bag The weaker the signal, the sweeter the noise Hunching over an instrument that you now employ Like the Starvation Army needs a marching piano in the band Are you feeling used? I do Oh, I was pissing on the flame Like a child with cash or a king on cocaine I've got the world by the balls Am I supposed to behave? What a fraud What a con You're the only One I love It's easy to assume that you've built some rapport With a someone who only likes you for what you like yourself for Okay, you be my mirror but remember that there are only a few angles I tend to prefer I'm only here to serve Oh, I was pissing on the flame Like a child with cash or a king on cocaine I've got the world by the balls Am I supposed to behave? Oh, I was dancing 'round the flame Like a high-wire act with a "who, me?" face I was living on nothing but water and cake What a fraud What a con You're the only One I love One I love One I love

For me that's Ballad of the Dying Man, but this is up there too yeah
@@stefanopellegrini7094 my favorite is birdie, but this one is definitely up there
I've fallen in love with this one song. Initially, it didn't register but now I get it... arguably the best song on Pure Comedy.
I have listened to all FJM's albums many, many, many times and I still am finding myself getting into each song more and more.
the chords in this song are achingly dark
wow- this song is fantastic live!
He's just fantastic
what a nice little live gem!!!
bellissima canzone!
I've got the world by the balls.
¿Am I supossed to behave?
❤❤❤
The weaker the signal
The sweeter the noise
Hunching over an instrument that you now employ
Dance like a butterfly and drink like a fish
If you're bent on taking demons down with only your fist
And I've never known anyone who could lose himself in a bigger paper bag
The weaker the signal, the sweeter the noise
Hunching over an instrument that you now employ
Like the Starvation Army needs a marching piano in the band
Are you feeling used?
I do
Oh, I was pissing on the flame
Like a child with cash or a king on cocaine
I've got the world by the balls
Am I supposed to behave?
What a fraud
What a con
You're the only
One I love
It's easy to assume that you've built some rapport
With a someone who only likes you for what you like yourself for
Okay, you be my mirror but remember that there are only a few angles I tend to prefer
I'm only here to serve
Oh, I was pissing on the flame
Like a child with cash or a king on cocaine
I've got the world by the balls
Am I supposed to behave?
Oh, I was dancing 'round the flame
Like a high-wire act with a "who, me?" face
I was living on nothing but water and cake
What a fraud
What a con
You're the only
One I love
One I love
One I love
Im only here to
King on ??
Whho me just water
One i ..
I suppose to ...what a fraud
