TFT: Warren Zevon


 

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Werewolves of London
Warren Zevon
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walkin’ through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was lookin’ for the place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein

Ahoo
Werewolves of London
Ahooooo
Ahoo
Werewolves of London
Ahooooo

If you hear him howlin’ around your kitchen door
You better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again

Ahoo
Werewolves of London
Ahooooo
Ahoo
Werewolves of London
Ahooooo

He's the hairy handed gent
Who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor

Ahoo
Werewolves of London
Ahooooo
Ahoo
Werewolves of London
Ahooooo

Well I saw Lon Chaney walkin’ with the Queen
Doin’ the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walkin’ with the Queen
Doin’ the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin’ a pina colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect

Ahooooo
Werewolves of London
Draw blood
Ahooooo
Werewolves of London


Lawyers, Guns and Money
Warren Zevon
Well I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians too

I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers guns and money
Dad get me out of this

I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and the hard place
And I'm down on my luck
Yes I'm down on my luck
Well I'm down on my luck

Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers guns and money
The $hit has hit the fan

Send lawyers guns and money

Send lawyers guns and money

Send lawyers guns and money

Send lawyers guns and money

  3. That song should have stayed on the wet cocktail napkin and then put where wet cocktail napkins usually wind up - in the trash. Where do you find this nonsense?

  4. Can't say these make it to my list of favorite songs however I will say that Werewolves of London is one that Wade has in his collection of downloaded songs.
