Drown
> As Rome Burns
A Song for a Son
Eye
Bullet with Butterfly Wings (abandoned immediately before lyrics begin)
BC: Hey Jeff.
Jeff: Yeah, yeah?
BC: I can’t remember the first line. What’s the first line?
Crowd: The world is a vampire!
Jeff: No, that’s not it, that’s not it.
BC: No no no no no. You know the original lyric was “the world is a custard”?
Jeff: How about that, that’s makin’ me hungry.
BC: Kind of in an English.... You guys got me so stoned up here, I can’t think straight! Is it April 20th, Jeff?
Jeff: Yeah, whoa, hey!
BC: Heh, right there it is, heh heh.
Jeff: Yeah.
BC: Hahahahahaha! We’re having a good time, thank you so much for being here with us.
Jeff: Truth.
Bullet with Butterfly Wings
United States / Star Spangled Banner / Moby Dick
BC: Like to take a moment to introduce the band to you, over here on the bass is Nicole Fiorentino. D’you want me to ask about the boots?
Nicole: I was just wondering if they were okay with this outfit tonight.
BC: Should we ask the audience? (audience cheers)
Nicole: I wasn’t sure [unintelligible as Billy talks over her].
BC: We were backstage and we weren’t sure, so...okay, those in favor of the boots with this outfit, say yay. (crowd cheers) Those in fav--not in favor of the boots with the outfit, say nay. (a few scattered nays)
Nicole: They have like six or seven nays...
Jeff: Wow, [1-2 unintelligible words], wow, wow.
BC: (deep growl) Nay, nay.
Nicole: ...that’s cool though, they’re honest.
BC: (normal voice) I’m the lone voter.
Foxy Lady (tease - Jeff plays a few seconds)
BC: No, you look great...every night. I’m so happy to be with Nicole. Over here on the drums, not as attractive but just as beautiful, Mike Byrne’s on the drums. (Mike gives Billy the finger) Oh! You wanna flip me off, huh? (Mike gestures at himself as if to say he didn’t know what he was doing)
Jeff: Whoa, whoa, hey.
BC: You’re in the rage of the song, you couldn’t help yourself? Yeah, he’ll learn. He’ll learn, he hasn’t hit the rock and roll wall yet. Don’t be callin’ me in the middle of the night when you need your mother, okay? Okay? When the two strippers have left your room and you can’t find your wallet, don’t fucking call me.
Jeff: (off mic) Haha!
BC: (to Jeff) You nam sayin’?
Jeff: (off mic) Oh yeah.
BC: He’ll learn.
Jeff: I sure do, I sure do.
BC: And on the geetar, Jeff Schroeder. Now the band last night, the band got to go see Kiss last night in San Antone.
Jeff: Fuck yeah!
BC: Not a lot of Kiss fans out there? Like to give ‘em a little Lick It Up or uh...?
Lick It Up (tease - Jeff plays the riff for 15 seconds)
BC: (high pitched) Come on, alright, yeah! (normal voice) Does he sing that? What’s he say there though?
Jeff: (off mic) Right here.
BC: (high pitched) Come on a-right now!
Jeff: It’s only “right now”.
BC: He wants her to lick it up right now? (Jeff shrugs) He doesn’t wanna wait.
Jeff: (off mic) No.
Somebody in crowd: We’ve all been in that situation!
BC: Haha, that’s right. We’ve all been in that situation.
Guy in crowd: YEAAAAAAH!
BC: Haha, yeah, I like this guy up here, he’s rockin’ hard. Fuck yeah. That’s what four years in the state pen’ll do to you, you just kind of unleash it when you get out. Lot of pent up...pent up stuff.
Same guy in crowd: YEAH!
BC: Hahahaha. Well, god bless you so much for being here with us on this hot, balmy night. (in Nicole’s direction) Somewhere in the audience, somebody was thinking, “Yes, it’s hot and balmy, shut the fuck up and play the next song.” (Nicole points at herself as if to say “Me?”) That’s you, heh. You want me to shut the fuck up, (pointing towards Mike) he’s telling me to fuck off, I can only trust Jeff.
Nicole: Yes, that’s what he does.
Jeff: Oh, let’s hang out, let’s just fuck around.
BC: Let’s just fuck around. Don’t make me play God of Thunder.
God of Thunder (tease - Billy plays the riff once)
BC: That’d be God of Thunder by Kiss. Anyway, this is my new song. Prepare to hear an instant classic. My songs usually fall into one of three categories: uh, instant classic, misunderstood gem or suicidal theme. This is an instant classic, this is called Spangled. If you like this song...if you like this song, you can go to Smashing Pumpkins dot com later and download it for free, it’s up there now. If you don’t like this song, you can go to fuckin’ hell and never return.
Detroit Rock City (tease - Jeff is quietly doodling with the riff)
BC: No, I’m just kidding! You can move to San Antonio. (crowd roars) They like that joke! They like that joke. Ha.
