I've been lost and now found my way
Take me down and safe
Show me the way
Take me places that I want to stay
Here's to today
Here's to today

I've been knocked but now I'm on my feet
Call or light up whenever I get in this deep
Take me places that I know from sleep
Let me sleep
Let me sleep

Head out
Fade out
Keep the light on
Turn it up

Head out
Fall down now
Keep the light on
Turn it up

I don't, cannot live with things you say
Guys don't want you to let it go anyway
Wake me tenderly and leave me to lay
Let me sleep
Let me sleep

Head out
Fade out
Keep the light on
Turn it up

Head out
Fall down now
Keep the light on
Turn it up

Here's to today
Here's to today
Here's to today
Here's to today

Probably; it was the Kentucky Fried Movie, after all.

Imagine having just rode your bicycle down the mountain, through the dell and over the hill.  This is victory music to my ears! Dank you bery much!!

When scanning comments I sometimes wonder how someone can possibly rate a particular song a "sucko-barfo" and other times I am in complete amazement at a song that receives a "godlike" rating....

I can't be the only listener who finds this singer's voice and styling to be exceedingly irritating, can I? I have not scanned the comments, but this is unpleasant to my ears!

 
Unpleasant to my ears too.

I like the way they make a guitar (or something else?) sound like a chicken.

That's Ben Ottewell—distinctive compelling voice.

"Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that."

I saw a Gomez concert once and three different members sang lead vocals.  They all sound quite a bit alike.  I like the guy singing on this tack best.

Great band live.  So dynamic, energetic and just plain loud.  This is my favorite album of theirs.

Rex Kramer.....hmmm.... Is this the guy from Kentucky Fried Movie?
Ah, you too were kicked in the head...with iron boot? Of course so, there's actually two ZAZ references, Rex Kramer - Danger Seeker! (KF Movie) and Rex Kramer "flying a plane is no different from riding a bicycle, just alot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes." (Airplane!) Prickelpit96, that was probably the best reference in the history of Radio Paradise, but some of us here, particularly me would like to buy you a drink and shake your hand... You're my people ;-)

Gomez has been my very best Radio Paradise discovery! We'd have never heard them on commercial radio in Lost Angeles. (but then again, I haven't listened to commercial radio in LA in years!)
Posted 16 years ago by sfearll    [ Reply ]
Bring ear protedtion to Gomez shows, trust me. It's good though...

I love this band! They slip in little surprises for us.
Posted 16 years ago by fingerpin    [ Reply ]
There was a ping at the end, suggesting a fade-in segue to Pink Floyd's Echoes (the abridged version, please).

THE BEST GOMEZ ALBUM . . . SO FAR!
Posted 16 years ago by horstman    [ Reply ]
Awwwwsome "This man needs to be taken to a hospital!" "A hospital...what is it?" "A big building with doctors and patients in, but that's not important right now" They also have a song called Steve McCroski! Fantastic band, although they seem to have lost their way after this album in my opinion...

I saw them play this summer and was taken with how much fun they were having. They really love what they do...also it's hilarious to listen to that big, gravelly voice come out of a skinny white boy :)

I thought this was an outtake from Tim Buckley circa "Greetings from LA".

I have absoloutely, positively NO clue what the heck ya'll are talking about here, but I had a fabulous time trying to figure it out! So witty, so obscure, I adore these kinds of comments. So much more intriguing than head banging into the wall and mud slinging. And I love this song as well. The day is brightening already!

Try bringing up the volume to about an 11 on this song and then read your comments again. If it hasn't done something to you by then, consider yourself dead inside.

RP seems to love Gomez. Can\'t for the life of me figure what the attraction is. Extraordinarily ordinary.
