The Bottom Line More songs should quote Vasco de Gama.

(This song has the simplest structure, and perhaps prettiest melody, of any song I've written. My crossover hit single.)

GUIDED BY VOICES
by Brian Block
--------------
Guided by voices
through mimetic neon choices,
we came in search of Christians and spices
and those big guns that glue on Everyday Low Prices.

On the road of life,
there are passengers,
and there are drivers,
and there are roadkill, guided by unsmelled words
that are patently absurd.
Say hello to Buffalo Bill,
he'll make you a nice coat.

Do I dare to eat some peaches
when my can opener is angered speechless?
Do I dare to send forth awfulness
when I'm free to do what you want, any old time?

On the road of life,
there are passengers,
and there are drivers,
and there are roadkill, guided by gun-held words,
efficiently deterred.
