the meat puppets myspace says $8 dollars in advance $10 at the door it also says they're doing instores at the mpls fetus and the st cloud one so hopefully they'll do one here too!

Swimming Ground
The sun is up and beating down
Hot enough to melt the ground
A little water would do us good
The clouds'd help us if they could
They'd send showers of pouring rain
Get everything wet again

We could go and float around
In our favorite swimming ground
The best place I ever found
Wasn't close to any town
Was a little swimming ground
Everything just floating around
Out to lunch and out of town
Pretty close to falling down
A little water would do us good

If there are any big Meat Puppets fans out there, I just acquired a copy of the impressive "Dexterity" bootleg -- 16 songs recorded Aug. 17, 1986, at the Roxy Theatre in L.A. and "released" in '93 on Holy Records -- if anyone's interested in a trade. Cheers!

The Meat puppets wrote the song "lake of fire" which was covered on Nirvana Unplugged and included the lyrics


I knew a lady who came from Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
And she flew away howling on the yellow moon
