In the moonlight
Fighting with the night
It's a rip-off
Kissing all the slain
I'm bleeding in the rain
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Rocking in the nude
I'm feeling such a dude
It's a rip-off
Dancing in the dark
With the tramps in the park
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
See your baby's stud
Sliding in the mud
It's a rip-off
Bleached on the beach
I want to tickle your peach
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
See the girl dance
In her man-skin pants
It's a rip-off
Terraplane Tommy
Wants to bang your gong
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Gypsy girl's good
People treat her like a fool
It's a rip-off
The President's weird
He's got a burgundy beard
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
I'm the King of the highway
I'm the Queen of the hop
You should see me
At the Governors ball
Doing the rip-off bop
I'm a social person
I'm the creature in disguise
There's a man with a whip
On his silver lip
Living inside my eyes
I'm the cat from the alley
I'm the fleetfoot vodoo man
There's very little that's ever said
All of which I understand
Caught like a skunk
In space and time
It's a rip-off
If it's her's
Well it must be mine
It's a rip-off
Such a rip-off

Standing in the dock at Southampton
Trying to get to Holland or France.
The man in the mac said you’ve got to go back,
You know they didn’t even give us a chance.
Christ! You know it ain’t easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going,
They’re going to crucify me.

Underrated Beatles songs for our mods:
cortex:
Please don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping
jessamyn:
Flying (instrumental)
mathowie:
I'm fixing a hole...
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong
I'm right where I belong
I'm right where I belong
See the people standing there
who disagree and never win
and wonder why they don't get in my door

In the latest Vanity Fair, there's an article about Serge Gainsbourg that implies that he was a "never nude." I wish YT still had the Arrested Development clip, because that would've given me the impetus to make a FPP almost as bad as this one.

When I was a young man, I self-linked my site--
I lived the sad life of a spammer
From Ask Me's green background
To the azure up front
I linked my small blog all over.
Then at 2:36 the admin said "Son--
It's time for a banning, it's work to be done."
And in no time at all
My self-link was gone
And I knew my $5 was a'wasted.

I had a couple of double posts a while ago, but they were deleted. I'd sure like to read them again, but they've disappeared into the ether.
Also, I'm curious about the hidden MeFi; you know, the population of posters to the blue that are clueless self promoters or corporate shills or just plain drunk off their dupas at any given moment. There must be some record of those lost FPPs somewhere, right?
