Beck - Bonfire Blondes Lyrics






I'm so weary of taking up space
Sending junk mail to the whole human race
Stole my genome from the salt of the earth
Weighed my brain for to see what it's worth
Lights out, they're throwing blondes at the bonfire
Beauty's burning but my backbone feels so cold

Little girl with the protean hands
White lightning that she got from Japan
Fingernails on the tasergun
Mannequins just melt in the sun
Say hello, they're throwing blondes at the bonfire
Plastic melts, but souls only wear away

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la

Now the bonfire's burning my face
Generic rails that I like to deface
Landladies turn to pillars of salt
Like missile silos where the alpha males go
Bombs away, they're throwing blondes at the bonfire
From the ashes, all that's left is a heart of stone

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

    I want to start by saying that I love Beck. But I think maybe he was listening to a lot of Talking Heads "Psycho Killer" when he wrote this. Anyone else agree?

    g.... ....

    Yeah.... if you take away Tiny Weymouth’s rolling bass lines and David Byrn’s shaky paranoid voice.

  3. M.... G....

    Gamma Ray is overrated. I'd pick Orphans to Gamma Ray. Better yet, this to Gamma Ray. (let the thumbs downs begin.)

  4. s.... ....

    Timebomb + Electric Music and the Summer People = This

  5. T.... ....

    Thumbs up if you've got the 7"!

  6. C.... ....

    @zeikoru That's also a B-side.

  7. G.... B....

    plastic melts like our souls on a Gamma Ray

  8. C.... ....

    this is better than gamma ray

  9. h.... ....

    July 8th, '08 - AKA Beck's 38th birthday.

  10. z.... ....

    true, but his normal songs are great too. Take a listen to Vampire Voltage No. 6

  11. C.... N....

    im not gonna confirm or deny anything but i that that he may be. im not 100 % sure, but im right there with you, I want something from him really bad

  12. t.... ....

    So he won't do an album with new material of his own? as much as i'd love more and more deluxe editions.. i'd like to hear new beck!

  13. C.... N....

    im apart of a forum that gets his updates. hes doing a full sonic you cover cd and also just released a one foot in the grave delux cd and the modern guilt delux cd

  14. C.... ....

    beck = constancy

  15. C.... ....

    where did you heard that ??

  16. C.... M....

    awesome! where did you hear that? i cant wait for it to come out!

  17. C.... ....

    his bsides rock, i hardly like his other songs at all, weird

  18. C.... N....

    no no hes already recording another one

  19. C.... N....

    cant wait... and i agree. so many of these should have been on the cd

  20. h.... ....

    It's amazing how awesome a lot of Beck's B-Sides are. This one and Half & Half were great ones from Modern Guilt.

    And don't worry guys, I heard there's going to be a "Modern Guilt - Deluxe Edition" coming down the road soon. If that's the case then I'm pretty sure all the B-Sides will be on there. WOOT.

  21. C.... N....

    awesome. should have been on modern guilt

  22. m.... ....

    I am digging this song. :P
