Clutch - Texan Book of the Dead

[AngryTheBeard]

SO YOU WANNA KNOW PARADISE? YOU WANNA KNOW HELL? YOU WANNA DRINK THAT COOL, CLEAR LIQUOR BETTER DIG A LITTLE DEEPER IN THE WELL MY MAN! - Bands that sing stories in random context are infinitely more worthwhile than those who predictably sing about girls, or girls who sing about boys. Seriously, do we need more of that guff? Or are we mature enough to appreciate musical artistry at it's finest? "Modern day pharisees fat with espressos"... PAY MORE ATTENTION YOU SWINE!!

[KitchensLady]

@AngryTheBeard I know what you mean. You can really tell they read, you know? Their lyrics have substance and a randomness that only comes from being intelligent and well-read. They're great! Too bad there aren't more bands like this.

[luv4thebox]

@KitchensLady Seriously! have you read some of the crap that people post? wow! If I did not know what a word meant I would have to look it up before deciding I had some ideeah what was meant. Then again Clutch is my 3 year old's fave! he doesnt care what is said only what it feels like. :) and he loves the way it feels CLEARLY!

[faeriedust1]

I haven't heard these songs in AGES seems like! Clutch ROX! :)

[wasupp134]

i like turtles

[ChewstonIsBallistic]

@wasupp134 Face Palm....

[w35m4n]

Clutch use religious and mythological references in their songs all the time, doesn't mean they believe it. They're telling a story.

[MrAbagaWeed]

It is written, I have spoken... So put this in your pipe and smoke it!

[slurpyjerk]

Everyone arguing does know that the Necrinomicon isn't a real book right?

[reangerer]

@slurpyjerk HP Lovecraft made it up.

[MasterSh4ke]

rthym has a striking resembalance to A shogon Named Marcus

[theProtoSapien]

Is it weird that clutch gives me a hard on?

[poopfist]

@theProtoSapien I was going to say it makes you gay but I thought you wrote CHURCH, not CLUTCH--- LOL!

Being hard for Clutch is not weird at all!!!

[benmarvin57]

@poopfist but havin poop on your fist is extremely gay

[poopfist]

@benmarvin57 Not if it's girls poo...

[thomas2321221]

So you say you want to go to Heaven, Well I got the plans. It walks like the Sasquatch And it breeds like Kubla Khan. In original dialect, It's really quite cryptical. There are many copies around, But this my man is the original. It's given me powers, But kept me low. Many have scorned this, Modern day Pharisees fat with espressos. Be leary of Timothy, Clear light and all that. If you want light go stare at the sun. Hell, that boy don't know crap.

[thomas2321221]

@thomas2321221 If you want to know Paradise, And you want to know Hell, Want to drink that cool clear liquor, Better dig a little deeper in the well. If you want to know Paradise, And you want to know Hell, Want to drink that cool clear liquor, Better dig a little deeper in the well. You want a mantra?You want to know? You want that mantra? Well here you go. One for the money, Two for the show, And a knickknackpaddywack Give the Lord a handclap.

[irvingcsaltzburg]

@thomas2321221 It's "If you want to know paradise, you OUGHTA know hell" and I'm pretty sure he says "knick knack patty whack give a dog a handclap." This isn't some fruity christian rock song buddy.

[thomas2321221]

@irvingcsaltzburg i had trouble understanding so i got it off a website, it says that on a bunch of different lyric sites i compared it to three sites

[Trench777]

@irvingcsaltzburg You're kinda stupid. Thx

[irvingcsaltzburg]

@Trench777 Not that I particularly care what some pathetic moron I've never met thinks, but just out of curiosity how am I kinda stupid? And why are you thanking me? Are you even replying to the right person you fucking idiot?

[Trench777]

@irvingcsaltzburg Hahah...see, you truely are stupid, but thats ok, lil guy. This song is a mockery of the Necronomicon, thus the name. Go back to your bile & hate, now. You're excused.

[irvingcsaltzburg]

@Trench777 Okay so apparently you think this song has something to do with the Necronomicon. Again, how am I stupid? I was correcting some other guy on the lyrics because he misquoted Neil. I don't know why that suddenly makes you compelled to share your worthless fucking opinion about the song with me, because I really don't care. Are you really so desperate for attention that you started trolling me for no other reason then to tell me what you think the song's about? What a loser.

[Hyenashowl]

@irvingcsaltzburg Actually, I think it is "give the Lord a handclap" because the song is about a crazy Texas preacher who thinks he's got the answers in his own Bible translation (which is really the Necronomicon). But you're right on the "you oughta know hell" part.

[badoocee]

irvingcsaltzburg, Thanks for explaining a bit of the nature of this track. Much appreciated.

[irvingcsaltzburg]

@badoocee Hey thanks that means a lot considering my only intention was to correct someone on a few misquoted lyrics. If you got something out of that then good for you, I guess?

[pagandec]

I was going to look for a new job today. But I found Clutch instead. Now I can't get out of the house...

[mynameispolak]

Knick knack paddiwack give the dog a handjob?

[Metalmaniac365]

@mynameispolak That's what I heard...

[RazzerKirk]

[86blockhead]

i dam near droped my beer when thay did this live .

[crookedhorns1]

this song makes want to break shit to

[AmbrilAP]

I saw them open for Sepultura in 1994. Fear Factory was also on the bill, playing first before Clutch. Fantastic show.

[lesterawilson3]

@AmbrilAP - sure it wasn't Fudge Tunnel on that bill? Saw them with Sepultura and Fudge Tunnel in Toronto around that same time. Good show...

[RusttheFuzz]

@lesterawilson3 Fudge Tunnel.....a band that combines all my favorite metal sub-genres. Unfortunately, they aren't as good as say Godflesh, Sepultura, Melvins, or even Prong for that matter. They're not bad, but I feel they just lack something.

[jjcale1111]

@RusttheFuzz They are not agressive ... possibly too mellow - in terms of their vibe - not their musical style.

[LadyofWar1980]

I'd love to see these guys live!

[thunderkist]

knick, knack, patty-whack give the dog a hand-job!

[SoldierSide77]

@thunderkist - ROFLMAO!!!! I thought that's what he said too! I was like What the fuck? It's actually "hand clap", not hand job...I still laugh every time i hear this song though! =)

[TheNiTtAa]

Oo-ee, oo-ah-ah, ting-tang, walla-walla, bing-bang" es de la cancion witch doctor de alvin y las ardillas

[BexleyHi]

Ther are many copies around, but this, my man, is the original.. yeah..

[tremold2043]

hah..clutch is the shit!

[OrcristLOL]

[Hynes96]

[bobdole92]
