Vega, Suzanne - Fat Man & Dancing Girl Lyrics






I stand in a wide flat land
No shadow or shade of a doubt
Whore the megaphone man
Met the girl with her hand that's
Covering most of her mouth

Fall in love with a bright idea
And the way a world is revealed to you
Fat man and dancing girl
And most of the show is concealed from view

Monkey in the middle
Keeps singing that tune
I don't want to hear it
Get rid of it soon

MC on the stage tonight
Is a man named Billy Purl
He's The International Fun Boy
And he knows the worth of beautiful girl

Stand on the tightrope
Never dreamed I would fall

Monkey in the middle
Keeps doing that trick
It's making me nervous
Get rid of it quick

I stand in a wide flat land
No shadow or shade of a doubt
Where the megaphone man
Met the girl with her hand
That's covering most of her mouth

Does she tell the truth?
Does she hide the lie?
Does she say it so no one can know?
Fat man and the dancing girl
And it's all part of the show

Stand on the tightrope
Never dreamed I could fall

Monkey in the middle
Keeps singing that tune
I don't want to hear it
Get rid of it soon

Monkey in the middle
Keeps doing that trick
It's making me nervous
Get rid of it quick

    AND ITS ALL PART OF THE SHOW YA KNOW

  2. S.... B....

    Well, every song I’m listening to is a criticism of capitalism today.

  3. B.... ....

    This album is superb

  4. L.... C....

    This song is the shit.

  5. s.... b....

    I agree with wmfivethree and bluestate69 .

  6. b.... ....

    this album is also timeless. mainly because it didn't sound like anything else at the time, or anything else you hear today. its beyond ahead of its time. she and producer mitchell froom made a great team, so its no surprise they later married. now i will have to check out nine objects, so thanks for the recommendation!

    b.... ....

    nice summation of album-yes, get Nine Objects and any other album you might not have from Vega, she is a rare talent!

  7. w.... ....

    Agreed. This is probably my favorite of hers and one of my favorites, period. It creates its own unique sub-genre of industrial-folk fusion, self-contained in the album! Then came Nine Objects, which redefines jazz and lounge, hybridizing it with folk and electronic. Some purists dislike these two discs, and reject them as "artificial". I always respond that they are merely innovative, and bring a deep authenticity to aritificially PRODUCED music, which is the point. She is truly an original.

  8. O.... D....

    Befuddled as to why this song has only 4181 views...really great song ^ ^

  9. b.... ....

    99.9F was an awesome album. she did something completely different than her previous efforts. the mark of a true artist!

  10. W.... B....

    this is the first record I ever bought :-)

  11. t.... ....

    I haven't heard this in forever. Very cool.
