Ezra Furman - Ready Teddy Lyrics

there are literally no words to express my admiration of ezra furman. i am literally in awe

Gorgeous musician

I love you

Everybody talks sarcastic
Everybody's in the know
I think I might do something drastic
If they don't let me go away from it all
But I can't afford a jet plane
And the price of gas is high
There's nowhere that I can run to
When I feel so sick and shy
Gonna make a big noise to the sky

Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll
And if she smiles at me in the snow
Baby, I'm ready to rock, rock and roll

And I whispered that I loved her
In the ancient photo booth
She's just got one of those faces
That demands the truth
She likes Ted Hawkins too
And the truth is just a mole rat
Crawling underneath the earth
It is naked and it's gnawing away at the world
And it hurts so bad I could cry
But they don't allow no crying
In the cold straight world of men
So I build my little fortress
'Til I can get even

Teddy, I'm ready to rock and roll
I can see now, she's an angel
Flying in my bedroom window
I'm ready to rock and roll, ready to rock and roll

The Sax makes me happy

Is ezra the songwriter

Lovely lovely tune

What if I wanted to talk to him?

I love this song!!

SHE LIKES TED HAWKINS TOOOOO!!!!!

Nick Cusmano That’s my favorite part. Love me some Ted Hawkins too!

The trumpets reminds me The Edge of Glory of Lady Gaga :) !

I was lucky enough to hear the whole KCRW interview and show rolling down Whittier Blvd in Pico Rivera in a diesel truck thinking to myself 'THIS is American rock and roll.' Turned it up, left it playing when I got to the job site and everyone loved it.

he sounds like he would be good in a remake of rocky horror show. He sounds like Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff :)))

Eine Mischung aus Jagger und Young - wunderbar!

Ezra is so fucking great. I secretly want my daughter to marry him!

Lura Lacy too late hes engaged. Boom

Awesome ! I caught the Coachella Internet Live stream quite by accident on 4-16-17 and was immediately intrigued by this awesome music..loved it right away..look forward to this great band stopping in Houston

does anyone know the notes for the sax riff?

a, b, c, d ... etc.

THis outfit!!! Truly an icon

gotta love that yarmulke

I saw him at end of the road (England)

I heard this song on the radio over the summer and instantly fell in love with it

One day he's gonna be a superstar.

Damn!!!! Yes! ♥ I found another gem today!

Weak outtake not worthy of Ezra after his brilliant Perpetual Motion People album. The lyrics, superb on that album, are a total non-event here. This is only as good as the tracks of the albums that preceded that one.

Saw him @ H-Bowl Sunday night -- stage patter was so arch and flat out funny -- nice name drop on Ted Hawkins

Whats a name drop

Geniale...!!! His voice is absolutely fantastic...

He is truly an unrealised genius

Is Ezra wearing a yamulke in this video? <3

Probably. He's very proud and devout about his faith.

+Bee Round I'm beginning to see that. Saw him referred to as Reb somewhere. I was fortunate to hang out with him for a bit in Portland, but the conversation didn't turn to matters of faith.

A few words from guteshoerenistwichtig: https://guteshoerenistwichtig.wordpress.com/2016/08/10/da-geht-was-ezra-furman-big-fugitive-life/

By the way, it's totally worth going to the station's website and listening to the whole thing. The interview is hilarious. "Has anyone ever told you that I've got beautiful blue eyes?". Lol.

Too funny. And the bit where the interviewer thought Mango and the Mangroves were an actual band! :)

What, who.. who are these. It's great. cheers guys

This is awesome! I can't wait for the EP coming out in August

is this artist a man or a lady?

Dude, if you think we weren't answering, you need to read the thread. We all said the same as you, basically.

Velcom Cs did you guys come here to listen to the song or to invalidate Ezra Furman's gender? leave him alone

Geoff Wilde your thinking of sex. Gender is a social construct.

@Shelley James a dress? I dont get why people thought so

i love ezras music its so fantastic and groovy i always look forwards for the next song coming out!!!

It certainly is

EzraFurmanFan hey 👋 remember me off instagram

@Emily Lawson OMG hey !!!!

What a unique voice

Jules Cordonnier not unique but definitely reminiscent to the great legends of the past ( particularly Ziggy and Lou Reed).

atsuya k Don’t forget Gordon Gano from the violent femmes. He sounds almost exactly like him. I do love Ezra Furman though.
