Butthole Surfers - Cough Syrup Lyrics
She played for the Angels
I played for the tribe
The summer had been stolen and the bases were all loaded
There was big money on the line
Big my all the time yeah
I can't walk so I guess I'm gonna stay at home
They can have my legs just leave my head alone
I was in the kitchen
The year was in the fall
A friend of mine had told me that there were no point in mopin'
No there were no point at all
There was big fire in the hall, yeah
There weren't no points at all
I can't walk so I guess I'm gonna stay at home
They can have my legs just leave my head alone
I'll keep my eyes just take these tears away
Lock, stock, and barrel all the dogs were gone to feral and the car ran like a broken perculator
His liver had gone hard and he wouldn't mow the yard
There was big money on the line
And I heard that his brother was a viking
He liked to solve a problem with a gun
If you want to know the facts you gotta teach him how to act
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I'd rather be a sailor than a fighter
I'd like to sail a ship into the sun
If you wanna know the truth you gotta dig up Johnny Booth
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I know that your mother is a martyr
I heard she's got connections with the mob
If you wanna learn the fight you gotta drink up all the light
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I'd rather be a matchstick than a lighter
I like to see the wood curl up and burn
If you wanna touch the sky you must be prepared to die
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I hate cough syrup and I hate the food in Europe
And I hate cough syrup it's true
You wanna know the truth you gotta dig up Johnny Booth
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I hate cough syrup it's true

This woman looks like almost every middle-aged female librarian that I've ever seen, and a couple of male ones too.
Looks a lot like the old ladies who worked in the 5 and dimes watching to make sure kids didn't shoplift.

My High school journalism teacher freely admitted that she lost her mind seeing the Butthole Surfers on acid. She also introduced me to Fad Gadget, and early Ministry.

Does the woman on the album cover have connections with the mob
I'd rather be a sailor than a fighter, I'd rather be a matchstick than a lighter
Probably easy to steal....
pleasure me with claws of milk, goddess
Worst album cover ever
His liver had gone hard, and he wouldn't mow the yard
R. I.P Dad! Slow suicide is so fun to be a witness to.
Mighty Morphine Powder Raiders
The singer Gibby told a story once about the band in their early days, they were waaay behind on their rent/bills etc. and then one of them suddenly came into $5,000.00 of "found money" which they immediately went out and spent on band equipment......

surprised no ones pointed out the album arts for cream corn from the socket of davis while the songs from electriclarryland
Maybe my new favorite drug-song...And I like that it's wordier than a lot of other Butthole Surfers songs.
I'm just not sure if I'm wearing pants.
Cough syrup makes me cough.
I met this lady on Craigslist
Looks like the church lady👿
They can have my legs just leave my mail alone
Yeah!!!!!
Have they chopped his legs off?
This is so so so fucking good
I need this cover on a Tshirt
Lol but no lie dxm was a pretty great drug. I still seldom use it when I can't get mxe. Fuck ketamine it's too short acting it's the crack of disassociatives.
Hilarious ... if you get one please tell me where to pick one up too 😁😆
Go stand in the corner!
Still one of the best bands ever
Let’s play a show you lazy fuckers.
She played for the angels
I played for the tribe
The summer had been stolen and the bases were all loaded
There was big Money on the line
Big my all the time yeah
There was big MONEY ON THE LINE
I can't walk so I guess I'm gonna stay at home
They can have my legs just leave my head alone
I was in the kitchen
The year was in the fall
A friend of mine had told me that theRE WERE NO POINT IN MOPIN'
No there were no point at all
There was big fire in the hall yeah
There weren't no points at all
I can't walk so I guess I'm gonna stay at home
They can have my legs just leave my head alone
And I can't talk so I guess I got nothin' to say
I'll keep my eyes just take these tears away
Lock stOck AnD barrel all the dogs were gone TO FERAL and the car ran like a broken perculator
His liver had gone hard and he wouldn't mow the yard
There was big MONEY ON THE LINE
And I heard that his brother was a viking
He liked to sOLVE a problem with a gun
If you want to know the facts you gotta teach him how to act
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I'd rather be a sailor than a fighter
I'd like to sail a ship into the sun
If you wanna know the truth you gotta dig up Johnny BooTH
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I know that your mother is a MARTYR
I heard she's got connections with the mob
If you wanna learn the fight you gotta drink up all the light
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I'd rather be a matchstick than a lighter
I LIKE TO SEE THE WOOD CURL UP AND BURN
If you wanna touch the sky you must be prepared to die
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I hate cough syrup and I hate THE FOOD IN EUROPE
And I hate cough syrup it's TRUE
You wanna know the truth you gotta dig up Johnny BooTH
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I hate cough syrup it's TRUE

Well I happen to love it
Thanks Donald
Leave my mail alone?
Thank you Tronald, very cool
I love Gee’s linctus don’t you?
That lady on the album cover looks like she wants to speak with my manager
That lady IS my manager!! 😱
She definitely has a haircut that says "I didn't order that."
fave b-hole's tune...no doubt! CLASSIC!!!
I used to smoke pot with a Johnny Booth. We blazed that shit every day
I'll keep my eyes, just take these ears away.. love it
Although mudjackers are people too.
That lady looks like every right winged evangelical Texas woman from the 50's. I was there....I should know. My grandmother was a Texas long haul trucker. Not a mudjacker.
LIBARIAN LADY WITH THE GLASSES IS HIGH OCTAINE BONER FUEL CAN'T LISTEN TO THIS SONG WITHOUT RUBBONE OFF THINKING OF HER ACCUSING GLARE
Never has Helvetica been used to better effect in album cover design than by the Butthole Surfers.
That harmony at 1:55 tho!
Love the cover
If you wanna learn to fight you gotta drink up all the light.
"and i heard that his brother was a viking, he liked to solve a problem with a gun."
Surfin' 2018
snuggled up next to her under the covers, she's a real love
Little known fact, she is judging you for not loving this enough
This woman gives me dandruff
when i first heard this i couldn't stop playing it, guess you just connect with certain tunes!
I piss on the toilet paper in public restrooms
I lost my virginity to the woman on the cover of this. I get triggered whenever I see it.
Fuckin' STUUUUUUUUD!!
Did she do it doggy?
one of the most underrated bands ever........ always an insane party.....
is it just me or is the chorus a little like "i saw an x ray of a girl passing gas"?
She played for the angels
I played for the tribe
The summer had been stolen and the bases were all loaded
There was big my arm a line
Big my all the time yeah
There was big my arm a line
I can't walk so I guess I'm gonna stay at home
They can have my legs just leave my head alone
I was in the kitchen
The year was in the fall
A friend of mine had told me that the work upon my only
No there were no point at all
There was big fire in the hall yeah
There weren't no points at all
I can't walk so I guess I'm gonna stay at home
They can have my legs just leave my head alone
And I can't talk so I guess I got nothin' to say
I'll keep my eyes just take these tears away
Lock stuck in barrel all the dogs were gone in farrel and the car ran like a broken perculator
His liver had gone hard and he wouldn't mow the yard
There was big my arm a line
And I heard that his brother was a viking
He liked to settle a problem with a gun
If you want to know the facts you gotta teach him how to act
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I'd rather be a sailor than a fighter
I'd like to sail a ship into the sun
If you want to know the truth you gotta dig up Johnny Boon
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I know that your mother is a farter
I heard she's got connections with the mob
If you want to learn the fight you gotta drink up all the light
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I'd rather be a matchstick than a lighter
I'd like to see your work go up and burn
If you want to touch the sky you must be prepared to die
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I hate cough syrup and I hate fruity (mirror?)
And I hate cough syrup it's screwed
You want to know the truth you gotta dig up Johnny Boof
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I hate cough syrup it's screwed
I don't know if it's the song or the picture but I cannot control the overwhelming urge to vigiourously masterbate to this song.
Napoleon dynamite has connections with the mob
Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh oh oh oh oh
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, oh
If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down
Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh
These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart oh oh oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh
If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
And so I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
And so I run to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa
One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa
"I'd rather be a matchstick than a lighter,
I like to see the wood go up and burn."
Now that's great lyrics folks.
“World curl up and burn”*
Does it mean? I'd rather trip on LSD over cough syrup? :)
If she finds your Final Fantasy 2 instruction booklet under the bed, you are going to get hit with a broom because you are going to hell for dabbling in black magic.
id rather be a sailor than a fighter.say no more, gibby.my first lessons in acid car driving, while my ears were growing and my eyes turned lysergig.but i never broke my car, hell yeah!!!
The woman in the pic reminds me more of mrs doubtfire
“I’d rather be a matchstick than a lighter, I’d like to see the world curl up and burn”. 🚬 “If you wanna touch this sky, you must be prepared to die!” ⚰️
melodic

if you wanna know the truth you gotta dig up Johnny Booth.
Rub A Little Bit 'Tussin On It

She looks like a composite of every school teacher I had first through fifth grades.
You're definitely old school!
I was choca-block . Up her then
They can have my legs, just leave my mayo alone
She played for the Angels
I played for the tribe
The summer had been stolen and the bases were all loaded
There was big money on the line
Big money all the time yeah
There was big money on the line
I can't walk so I guess I'm gonna stay at home
They can have my legs just leave my mail alone
I was in the kitchen
The year was in the fall
A friend of mine had told me that there were no point in mopin'
No there were no point at all
There was big fire in the hall, yeah
There weren't no points at all
I can't walk so I guess I'm gonna stay at home
They can have my legs just leave my mail alone
And I can't talk so I guess I got nothin' to say
I'll keep my eyes just take these tears away
Lock, stock, and barrel all the dogs were gone to feral
And the car ran like a broken perculator
His liver had gone hard and he wouldn't mow the yard
There was big money on the line
And I heard that his brother was a viking
He liked to solve a problem with a gun
If you want to know the facts you gotta teach him how to act
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I'd rather be a sailor than a fighter
I'd like to sail a ship into the sun
If you wanna know the truth you gotta dig up Johnny Booth
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I know that your mother is a martyr
I heard she's got connections with the mob
If you wanna learn to fight you gotta drink up all the light
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I'd rather be a matchstick than a lighter
I like to see the world curl up and burn
If you wanna touch the sky you must be prepared to die
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I hate cough syrup and I hate the food in Europe
And I hate cough syrup it's true
You wanna know the truth you gotta dig up Johnny Booth
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I hate cough syrup it's true
yur mother is a martyr...
.....
Good job, except I'm pretty sure he says, "I'd rather be a matchstick than a lighter. I like to see the wood curl up and burn."
I’m so fucked right niet
Why is Harry S. Plinkett's wife on the album cover?
One of the most underrated bands of all time.
Is this song about a desperate guy who is sick of living a routine life so he goes all in on sports bets and is just sitting in his house getting fucked up on cough syrup waiting for the checks to come in the mail, knowing that someone in the mob will shoot him since he can't cover the losses? I don't know anything about how betting works but that's what this song seems like to me. a guy who just put it all on the line. "i'd rather be a matchstick than a lighter"
3:02pm 6/15/2018 2100 park place going to Vulcan neighbourhood walmart tonight like every fri since my birthday last tim e I tried to contact deth row record's ... my # 206-291-7047 .....
This song really sounds like REM to me, not a bad thing but I thought it was interesting
The tune I can see, but REM could never write such masterful lyrics, those guys suck.
I agree, no relation.
They are both dated. But I still like The BHS.
Did yall know the surfers literally stalked rem in the 90s for a giggle
“If you believe they put a [maggot] on the [brain]”
