| Track 11: Thelma and Louise Were a Couple of Dishes |
| Written by: Bob Brown Date of Writing: July, October - December 2004; January 2006 |
| Notes I have played this song live just once (as of today, January 24, 2009), at Harvest Community Church in Fallston, Maryland, on July 18, 2006. It is the only time that I remember where a moron gig featured a stage prop--besides my wife Lisa on flute. I set up a small table, covered it with a table cloth and some plasticware. At the end of the song, I asked a small child in the audience to pull the cloth off the table. "Dish" is also an outdated term for an attractive woman. It took a lot of hard work to write this song--to work all of the tabletop items into rhyming verses, etc. But when I listen to this album, I almost always skip over this boring, repetitive song. Background Voice [1] "Don't you want to be a Pepper to?" [2] "He's the one standing next to Bono." |
| Verse 1: I'm a fork and you're a knife on the tablecloth of life Others--cups and mugs and glasses. Table set with dining masses. Chorus: Time pulls the cloth right off the table. Save yourself if you think you are able. (2x) Verse 2: Salad plates and napkin holders go rolling off like tumbling boulders Sugar bowls and pepper shakers [1], like lemmings, rush off to meet their Maker Chorus Verse 3: Gravy boats and serving spoons go saling off into their doom Saucers, trivets, and plates: Beware! Better get your hearts right, flatware. Chorus Verse 4: Center looks just like the ledge. Would you recognize the edge? [2] Now it's breakfast. Maybe supper. Going down or heading upward? Chorus: Time pulls the cloth right off the table. Save yourself if you think you are able. (2x) Like Thelma and her pal Louise who sailed right off into the breeze. |
