Lord Only Knows

Beck - Lord Only Knows

You only got one finger left
And its pointing at the door
And youre taking for granted
What the lords made on the floor
So Im picking up the pieces
And Im putting them up for sale
Throw your meal ticket out the window
Put your skeletons in jail

cause lord only knows its getting late
Your senses are gone so dont you hesitate
To give yourself a call let your bottom dollars fall
Throwing your two bit cares down the drain

Invite me to the seven seas like some seasick man
You will do whatever you please and Ill do whatever I can
Titantic, fare thee well, my eyes are turning pink
Dont call us when the new age gets old enough to drink

cause lord only knows its getting late
Your senses are gone so dont you hesitate
Move on up the hill theres nothing dead left to kill
Throwing your two bit cares down the drain

Odelay, odelay, odelay, odealy odelay, odelay
Just passing through
Odelay, odelay, odelay, odealy

Going back to houston
Do the hotdog dance
Going back to houston
To get me some pants.....

Odelay is Becks best album. And deserves to be put in the classic album list. I heard it with in the first week of it's release flying in a plane and knew then it was a masterpiece by the time I landed. His other albums are very good. He likes change and that is good. Keeps you guessing. But I still come back to Odelay.

u hardcore beck fans need to be a bit more realistic when it comes to his albumography. yeah i really want to jam out to a bunch of sound effects... beck writes great f*****g songs everyone seems to like his stupid softie indie crap albums. Odelay is the best in my opinion. P.S. The Information is my second favorite. so go take music theory again and realize why Beck got a little sick of turning nobs on his Korg.

@maximum1954 .......very wrong buddy, did you miss Mellow

Gold (and that's only on the mainstream).......don"t get me wrong, this album is one of my fav's but Beck was spreading his awesomeness around way before Odelay

@SammyRaiGuy this was the last album I listened to/enjoyed by Beck. Stereopathetic Soul Manure was also awesome.

Guys, I hate to disagree here, because I LOVE Odelay. But Midnite Vultures is Beck's best album.

Hands down.
