I’m Gonna Explode
Lichen Throat
Here, in this green and pleasant land,
Something big is being planned.
No one knows the hour; no one knows the day.
Well, maybe Ike does, but he won’t say.
I’m gonna explode.
Messages are being sent in code.
Every second ticks by so slow.
Tension grows and grows and grows.
At the pilots’ briefing we’ve been schooled;
Our C-47s are being fueled.
Everybody is climbing aboard
For Operation Overlord.
I’m gonna explode.
Paratroopers are my human payload.
Straight ahead until we reach
Four miles behind Utah Beach.
Through the dark,
Through the fog,
Through the night,
To the drop.
Twin propellers are a steady choir
As I search the sky for tracer fire.
If we’re seen once we pass the coast,
This Gooney Bird is gonna be toast.
I’m gonna explode
If luck runs out before the drop zone.
When all these guys are out the door,
I’m headed back to the English shore.

Re: I'm Gonna Explode
I'm Gonna Explode
The Big Nasty
we mapped out like 25 routes to run
left at midnight and didn’t see anyone
ooooh wee now isn’t this fun
burning up like an ant, go get it done
stepping through the back lane, tripping the brain, we got
money in the pocket all aboard the train
give me a cup just to wake me up
and then end it, friendo, get ready to duck
punching through the drywall
this ticket’s going AWOL
fluid's running down like a motherfucking waterfall
chase 'em down the wrong hall
it hits you like a wrecking ball
stops you in your tracks smacks you down no you can't even crawl
you've gone and pissed off the wrong crew
you knew the truth it's ruthless there's nothing to do
you better sit the fuck up and comply with the code
you better pay attention cuz I'm about to explode

It's been building up for a while
Frustration piled high deep as a mile
I see you lying on the floor
Right by the ankles and right out the door
I'm gonna explode - More than you ever know
I'm gonna explode - C'mon let's go
Double turquoise jacket I hope you understand
I am not your father you know that you and me can't
Bumblebee...

Re: I'm Gonna Explode
I'm Gonna Explode
by Johnny Cashpoint
You’ve lost some weight, you say, that’s great
But all I see is a massive tree
I have a heart, I’ll play my part
But dear God, stop talking at me
Get off this rocky road
Or I’m gonna blow
And I don’t mean my load
I'm gonna explode
Don’t look this gift horse in the mouth
Your business is your business, see
It stays that way in my house
You're in need don't mean we agree
Get off this rocky road
Or I’m gonna blow
And I don’t mean my load
I'm gonna explode
I'm a grower not a shower,
Slow build to a blow,
Quiet, quiet, quiet
and then oh no!
Need to belong, go on and on,
No escape for the likes of me
Overstep the mark, get it wrong
Tell me where's your dignity?

Re: I'm Gonna Explode

Pigfarmer Jr
I'm all wrapped up in TNT
Gonna light the fuse, gonna take you with me
Don't bother asking for my demands
It's much too late, dontcha understand?
I'm sick and tired of watching the news
Of feeling ignored, of feeling abused
There's to many potholes in my road
My brand new shed won't pass the code
I'm too broke to pay what I owe
I'm so sick and tired I'm gonna explode
Maybe after this they'll start to listen
Maybe somebody will change the system
There's only two wires and a trigger device
Much more effective than guns and knives
I'm sick and tired of watching the news
Of feeling ignored, of feeling abused
There's to many potholes in my road

Hot Pink Halo

When you’re lost out there in the dark
When it’s all just berserk
Spreading out in an arc
When it’s all gone anarchic
It’s time to run
Keep close to the ones you love
Betrayal comes from ranks above
Listen up!
What’s playing on the radio
Is a sign of the times
But we’re already gone
Didn’t hear the warning
Didn’t hear the warning
Need to listen to the radio
So we can read between the lines
But we’re already gone
Tick tock tick tock
When you head out into the light
When you’re looking for a fright
Stepping left stepping right
When you’re trapped in the firefight
End’s nigh, time slows
Send away the ones you love
Because you’re
You’re gonna explode
Listen up!

Re: I'm Gonna Explode
I’m Gonna Explode
the mellfire trifecta
It was only a year ago
When the house next door to mine
Got bought by a corporation
Man, it feels like a very long time
It bought from a couple who
Were never all that friendly
But they weren’t there for profit making
That’s why they didn’t offend me
Calls to the city
Texts and emails to our councillor
Signatures, petitions
The corporation hired a stooge
To handle night events
Some with DJ, some photo shoots
For those with more money than sense
Guests park on lawns and sidewalks
Their litter fills our yards
They come and go throughout the night
Some from chauffeured private cars
Renters pay thousands
Airbnb hit the motherlode
Thought I had it under control
I think I’m gonna explode
One step forward, two steps back
Even after the ban, still no one can stop it
We’re left juggling this old pigskin
Everyone else seems to want us to drop it
Renters pay thousands
Airbnb hit the motherlode
Thought I had it under control

Re: I'm Gonna Explode
I'm Gonna Explode - WreckdoM
Detonation - blowing off some steam
Demolition - about to get obscene
Walk into the tavern
Man I'm gonna spend a buck
Just got paid and
I'm gonna play the jukebox
Heard a lotta talk but it never had an impact
Till I heard these words from a lady in the back:
"Dirt bike, knife fight, dynamite
Yeah, I'm gonna explode!
Dirt bike, knife fight, dynamite
Yeah, I'm gonna explode!"
Boom! Bam! Biff! Bang!
Boom! Bam! Biff! Bang!
Walk into the party
Man I'm gonna boogie down
When it comes to cutting rugs
I wear the gold crown
Suddenly a gent from the back of the crowd
Swings from the chandelier and declares aloud:
"Dirt bike, knife fight, dynamite
Yeah, I'm gonna explode!
Dirt bike, knife fight, dynamite
Yeah, I'm gonna explode!"
You have til the count of three.
One.
Two...
"Dirt bike, knife fight, dynamite
Yeah, I'm gonna explode!

Yeah, I'm gonna explode!"
