Lyrics

Bile and Rage [Fire and Rain]

Just yesterday morning, they did a Kornheiser show
Sonsabitches, still haven’t put the podcast up
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,
this show stinks is who I sent it to
I've heard bile and I’ve heard rage. I've read columnettes that quickly found their end
I've heard Richard Sherman rants he’d then amend, but I hope I never hear the John Wooden story again

Won't you look down upon me, Nigel, you've got to read my email please
I know I’m sending you ten every day
I’m a loyal little and my time is at hand and to make it clear I won't just go away
Oh, I've heard bile and I’ve heard rage. I've heard hockey talk that I thought would never end
I've bought Kind bars myself cause I knew no one would send, but I always thought I'd hear Stephen Hunter again.

Been listening every morning time, Tony’s crew is loads of fun
Lord knows when the hot air blows your eyes will roll around.
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk to Richie and Bob Ryan
Little’s dreams and mailbag themes can make an awful sound.

Oh, I've heard bile and I’ve heard rage. I've seen sunny days that Kevin said would end
And I've sung some words James Taylor has not penned
but I always know that I’ll listen, Tony, time and time again

Know I’ll listen time and time again.
I’m sure I’ll surprise Mike Wilbon next time around, now.
Know I’ll listen, know I’ll listen, this is your mail bag...

    Thanks Joe. Maybe I should resend it in hopes of a Jingle-palooza. It is another full length special, way long for the show, but I always thought if they faded after the Stephen Hunter line it'd work. Love Ann Hornaday, but do miss hearing from Stephen Hunter....

    Jerry, I thought the same thing about length (I had just written the line in the Desperado track "oh let's fade out, there's no time for the whole song") but with this one I wrote it one big gush and just had to do the whole song. Big thanks to you and joethehammer for the feedback and kind words. Keep jingling'....

    This is preposterously long but I love it. I was laughing out loud on my drive home this evening listening to some of these hilarious lyrics. Very well done!
