Ode to FKO 2000
Lyrics: Maureen S. O'Brien
Music: Bill Sutton, "Cruiser Dreaming", 
as played by Phoenix on THE ONLY BLOODY ALBUM BY THEM I HAVE, WHICH
I'VE ONLY PLAYED SIX TIMES IN THE MONTH OF MARCH ALONE, AND.... 
<muzzle suddenly drops over filker's mouth and is only removed after 
the opening notes of the song sound and she suddenly calms down enough 
to sing>


I'll never visit other planets
 or go to space, 
 and what's worse --
I'll never see Phoenix, because
 I am cursed!
I moped, lacking their CD,
  as they played at FKO.
My God, why can't you let me know!

CH:
Phoenix? Coming?
I was humming, when I 
Could've been up by Toronto,
Not my stereo?
MP3-ing
Isn't being there, and I 
Have to scream up at the heavens,
"WHY DID I NOT GO!"

Yeah, I guess I should pre-reg....
 Except -- oh, yeah --
 I was broke.
(I live on the edge,
 And my
 Pay's a joke.)
Then, I had sinusitis.
 Now I've health and money too,
But what the hell good does that do?! 

CH:

On the cosmic scale of things, 
 I guess it's
 still okay.
Coulda been Mary Frost-Pierson,
 eatin'
 toxic PB&J.
But my body doesn't listen, 
 and my soul is in a snit,
And...come to OVFF, guys! Yeah! That's it!

CH:

Note: Phoenix itself did not play at FKO -- only several 
members thereof. Despite my offering of "The Breast and 
Wings Value Combo", the designated joke name for the group 
making this appearance was Feen.
