How about these?

Hi all,

I've been kicking around lyrics in my head for the better part of 20 yrs trying to figure out the song they came from. This past weekend I found a long lost audio tape that revealed the lyrics to be from two songs.

Also on this tape was a "shriek of the week" from 12/86 so both songs are at least that old.

They arent the best recordings, here are the lyrics I could make out from each song. If need be I can work on making mp3's.


First song: male singer, Joe Strummer comes to mind.

...im just looking for a story
about the ira

Lenny is in love and
he nearly lost his life
transexual from the transfer
sitting as his wife

(CHORUS, at least all I could make of it)

its a star studded scandal ohhhh
.........................
the messaihs after you ohhhh
..............................

now theyve all have a story ohhhh
..............................
some are ____ survivors ohhhhh
others gone to ground

gals come in to talk
but hes had too much to drink
threw up in the paino
cause he thought it was a sink
.
.
party wilsons on the line
saying listen johnny baby
that catch phrase is mine

_____________in conversation
renound throughout the land
use the calculator
we'll count whos the better man
.
.
fattys feeling frisky
orders more champagne
women run out screaming
oh no not again

(Chorus)


Second song: my guess singer is male, fast paced song

....filler up now before
the temp starts turning

souped up jacked up
cracked up stacked up
Louies got the _________
charlies got his back up

go
go
and dont it make ya feel good

says she is a _____
but sure likes the______
but somebody faints
sure aint the straight one

who buys the tickets
and who buys the clothes
puts the liquor in her stomach
and the powder up her nose
.
.
dont mind me honey
im just lookin
smelled your chicken
and i watched you cooking

souped up jacked up
cracked up stacked up
youre in the fast lane
and you need to be cleaned up

go.......................go
and dont it make ya feel good....
and dont it make ya feel good...


And there ya have it, thanks for looking....

The second one is definitely State Farm by Yazoo (Yaz). Not sure about the first!
