So, wow! Crazy! Its been awhile but between the darkness, shitty, nappy bathrobe, litter boxes of intoxicating cat litter, thunder snow, locked threads, jail, bannings, warnings and having to find the new venue, well, is it a wonder? So here we are. In the back room. The side stage, if you will. A little darker, perhaps, but more intimate. With red table cloths and candles. I like the mood. Degenerates out here at Kermit's, together to mourn, for a bit, the passing of my turtle, despite the uncomfortableness of it all. Right? VIPs, elitists, degenerates and the cliques you all belong, or not, to, together for the show. So, without any further ado, I bring you, the fans, the rest of Halifaxxx's Motown/Funk set list! We're going to start it out slow and work up to the bass, cuz its all about the bass, all about the bass. Thank you! Its nice to be back and good, no great, to see y'all here tonight! We might be missing a few but they're with us in spirit, Can you dig it? I knew that you could! Okay, so here we go. Chester, dim the lights, please. And don't forget to tip your bartender and waitresses. Okay............

I've heard elitists say that
Too much of standing in line is not good for you, BB
Oh no
But I don't know about that
There's many times that we've stood in line
We've shared lawn chairs and made lines move slow
It doesn't seem to me like it's enough
There's just not enough of it
There's just not enough
Oh oh, BB

[sung]
My degenerate, I can't get enough of your line BB
BB, I don't know, I don't know why
Can't get enough of your line BB
Oh, some things I can't get used to
No matter how we try
Just like the more you give, the more we want
And BB, that's no lie
Oh no, BB

Tell me, what can I say?
What am I gonna do?
How should I feel when everything is you?
What kind of line is this that you're givin' me?
Is it in your elitism or just because you're a VIP?

BB, all I know is every time you're here
We feel the clique
Somethin'smokes
We scream your name
Do whatcha got to do [?]

BB, we can't get enough of your lines BB
BB, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
We can't get enough of your lines BB
Oh no, BB

BB, if we could only make you see
And make you understand
BB, your VIP lines for us is all we need
And more than we can stand
Oh well, BB

How can we explain all the things we feel?
You've given us so much
BB, you're so unreal
Still we keep loving you even in Cali
More and more each time
BB, what are we gonna do
Because you blow our mind

I get the same old feelin' every time you're here
I feel the line move
Somethin' moves in the line
We scream your name
Do whatcha got to do [?]

BB, we can't get enough of your lines BB
Oh no, BB

[spoken]
BB, let us take all of our lives to find you
But you can believe it's gonna take
the rest of our lives to keep you VIP

[sung]
Oh no, BB
My BB, we can't get enough of your lines BB
Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
Can't get enough of your lines BB
Oh my BB, we can't get enough of your lines BB
Oh BB
We don't know, we don't know, we don't know why

We can't get enough of your VIP lines BB
Oh BB

Thank you, thank you, thank you very much! Its nice to be back!

Halifax2TheMax

Thank you! Okay, this next one goes out to all the bromances, or should I say Brahmances developing out there but especially for imalive:

Now, I'm craving your place in line, is this real
Tempers rising, I don't want to feel
I'm in the wrong place to be real while in line
Woahh and I'm; longing to shove you
just as far as a place in line, maybe two,
Phhhhtttt-ing and scolding and holding you down
Please let me shove you
with all my might

Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
Our turtles a-won't disappear

Oooh! And- after the opening act has been played
All our illusions were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade

[Layering Chorus]
LA-LA-LA-ETC
After all our reasons why
All the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons muuuur-der was ne'er decide

And, longing to shove you for one night
Please let me shove you with all of my might, baaaaby
OOOHHH, Baby!

Reasons, the reasons that we hear,
The reasons that we fear
Our turtles a-won't disappear
Oooh! And after the shove games have been played
All our lines were just a parade
And all the reasons start to fade
And, in the morning when I rise,
No longer feeling hynotized by the degenerate elitist fucks
For no reasons, our reasons, our reasons
Have no pri-ii-de

[Layering Chorus]
LA-LA-LA-ETC
After all the reasons why
All of the reasons were a lie
After all the reasons turtle’s murder was ne'er decide

[Phillips last solo]
Heeehhhhh, Ooooh, yeaahhh, Oohhh Baby,
I can't find the reasons
That my shove won't disappear
Can't find the reasons
Why I shove you ,my baby, my dear
Can't find the reasons
Wanna shove you all night, right out of line
Can't find the reasons
Gotta hold ya down, real hard
Can't find the reasons
Baby- yeah,
For my tears
Can't find the reasons
Why I shove ya....whoa, whoa, whoa shove ya, shove ya

Oh yea, now we're gonna pick it up a little!

Halifax2TheMax

You know, sometimes you've got to be careful. Ya know? Like when you're trying, trying so hard, to keep your place in line. Just working at keeping your place in line and sometimes you've got to have eyes in the back of your head or know, really know, who your friends are. Hit it!

(What they do)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place in line
The elitist back stabbers (back stabbers)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place in line
The elitist back stabbers (back stabbers)

All you degenerates who have someone
And you really care, yeah, yeah
Then it's all of you degenerates
Who better beware, yeah yeah
VIP's out to get your place in line
A few of your buddies they sure look shady
Blades are long, clenched tight in their fist
Aimin' straight at your back
And I don't think they'll miss

(What they do)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place in line
The elitist back stabbers (back stabbers)
I keep gettin' all these visits
From my VIPs, yeah, what they doin to me
They come to my house
Again and again and again and again, yeah
So are they there to see my turtle
I don't even be home but they just keep on comin'
What can I do to get in the right line
I wish they'd take some of these knives out my back

(What they do)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The elitist back stabbers
(Back stabbers)
Low down, dirty

(What they do)
(They smile in your face)
Smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes tell lies like being on the list (back stabbers)
(They smile in your face)
I don't need low down
Dirty degenerates (back stabbers)

This place is jumping! Hey bartender! A round for everyone! Moving right along.................

Halifax2TheMax

"Turtle City"
Uh, what's happening BB?
They still call it the GA Line
But that's a temporary condition, too.
Can you dig it, BB?

To each his reach
And if I don't crap, it ain't mine to have
But I'll be reachin' for ya
'Cause I love ya, BB.
Right on.

There's a lot of Turtle cities, around
We've got Newark, we've got Gary
Somebody told me we got L. A.
And we're working on Atlanta
But you're the capital, BB

Gainin' on ya!

Gainin' on ya!
All up around your turtle neck, heh heh

Hey, BB!

But on the positive side,
You're my piece of the rock
And I love you, BB.
Can you dig it?

Hey, uh, we didn't get our forty acres and a Turtle
But we did get you, BB, heh, yeah
Gainin' on ya
Movin' in and around ya in the GA line, woot!

Gettin' down

Ah, elitist to elitist

The last percentage count was eighty
You don't need the list when you got the lawn chair
Are you up for the downstroke, BB?
Turtle city
Are you with me out there?

And when they come to cut the line on ya
Tell 'em to make sure they got their imalive pass
And don't be surprised if Last 12 Exit is in the VIP tent
Reverend Empty Glass, Secretary of the Treasure
SDxxxxx, Minister of Education
Who Princess, Secretary of fine arts
And Miss Hedonist, the First Lady
Are you out there, BB?
A Turtle city is no dream

Halifax2TheMax

So, as someone famous once said, don't be an, well, you know what I'm saying without me having to say it, ha, ha, ha, ah, huh! Hit that bass hard now, ya hear!

Lists, lists, lists, lists, lists [6x]
Some elitists got to have it
Some VIPs really need it
Listen to me y'all, do things
Do things, do bad things with it
You wanna do things, do things
Do things, good things with it
Talk about lists, GA lists
Talk about GA VIP lists
Wine and crumpets, yall

For the love of GA lists
Degenerates will steal from their mother
For the love of GA lists
Degenerates will rob their own brother
For the love of GA lists
Degenerates can't even walk the street
Because they never know
Who in the world they're gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty Sharpie, GA lists

For the love of GA lists
Elitists will lie, Lord, they will cheat
For the love of GA lists
Elitists don't care who they hurt or beat
For the love of GA lists
An Elitist will sell their precious body
For a small piece of paper
It carries a lot of weight
Call it lean, mean, mean green

Almighty Sharpie

I know lists are the root of all evil
Do funny things to some pretty ordinary people
Give me a Sharpie, elitist can you spare a place in line
Lists can drive some people out of their minds

Got to have it, VIPs really need it
How many things have I heard them say
Some degenerates really need it
How many things have I heard them say
Got to have it, elitists really need it
How many things have I heard them say
Lay down, lay down, a degenerate will lay down
For the love of lists
All for the love of VIP lists
Don't let, don't let, don't let lists rule you
For the love of lists
Lists can change ordinary people sometimes
Don't let, don't let, don't let lists fool you
Lists can fool degenerates sometimes
Degenerates, don't let lists, don't let lists change you
Lists and places in line will keep on changing, changing up your mind

Phew! Alrighty, almighty then! Wow! Feel the love! Okay, we've got one more to blow the roof off the mother and then its on to the next stop. Eric's Basement out on Route 9. Oh yea! Don't forget to tip your bartender and waitresses. they're all working hard for the dollar! And don't forget, its no fun unless its locked.

Halifax2TheMax

Wow! You've been great! I mean it! Its awesome to be back and well, I don't know. the feelings are overwhelming! No place I'd rather be than Kermit's with you good, kind folks out in front. Well, until I get to Eric's Basement. Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you! Crank that bass and raise the lights! Dance on the tables everyone!

Wanna buy a new lawn chair
But the price ain't right
Be a downside cheaper (yes it would)
Start standing in line
They're making lists out of nothin’
Got the degenerates crying
Lines gone up higher
Got the VIPs lying

And if you look you will discover (yeah)
Lord, its a real Turtle for ya yeah.
Got to go to a VIP line

And then the light's come on

Lord, its a real Turtle for ya (yeah)
make you wanna run for cover back under the tent
And if you look you will discover (yeah)
Lord, its a real Turtle for ya yeah.

Someone wrote an album last night

I'm Minister of Education?

Empty Glass

Normally I don't mind winter. In fact, I prefer winter to summer. That being said, I'm ready to kick winter in the ass and get to some warm temperatures

What does it mean when if you are spending more time in the bathroom for piss breaks than in the pit?

If it's you, I would say: go see a doctor. If it's one of your co-workers, possibly drugs/alcohol or the need to text in private.

What are your thoughts on a place using the New York name outside of the NY area? I for one can't stand seeing Philly Cheesesteak places outside of the Philly area. A steak sandwich isn't s Philly Cheesesteak. I'm not saying they can't be good, but it's never close to tasting as good as what you're claiming.

Did I make any sense there?

badbrains

Just woke up in LA to hear all the rage about Halifax writing some killer songs. Wow, I'm honored my friend. Fucken awesome. They will hit #1 on the charts no doubt! Thanks for the love my friends! Supposed to be 73 out here in LA, gonna wear some shorts and smoke some killer greens! Sorry east coasters with your -20 degrees.

Hahahaha, this shits funny. You should've seen what Scott told me before I flew out yesterday. Something about planes crashing as I'm walking on the plane. If that doesn't deserve an A word, I don't know what does. Fuck the PM, that one deserved a straight text. Haha
