Guttermouth – What If? lyrics
Dateline: the early 1970's,
the now world famous rock quartet The Doors
lead singer james morrison has recently died.
While down but certainly not out,
the surviving members desparetly tried
to piece together their broken lives.
Every option was considered,
a new name "the Windows", "the Walls", even "the Door Knobs".
Ultimately, the band opted to carry on under
the original Doors name auditioning new singers.
One young hopeful, a struggling art student from athens georgia,
Fred Schnider, who went on to front the hugely
successful b-52's tried out for this position.
The lyrical style of the young Schnider more
known for his quick wit and imprompto jams
was hard fought to match the well structured melodies
of the classic Doors numbers.
let's listen in...
love me 2 times, love me 3 times
i've got me a car it seats about 20 so hurry up
and bring your juke box money
gloria gloria
you're livin' in your own private idaho
livin' in your own private idaho
this is the end, this is the end
wammy kiss me wammy hug
revitalize me give me wammy love yea!
light my fire we couldn't get much hire
he was in a jam he's in a giant clam
