TISM for President

[Freuds_Cat]

Are TISM the modern worlds answer to the ancient philosophers?

I say YES!! with gems like

Now its reputation time
If I'm a lyricist of any note
I've gotta come up with a punchline
Then again - maybe I don't...

and


I saw his body thrashing 'round
I saw his pulse rate going down
I saw him in compulsive throws
I said "I'll have one of those"

and even

Your mother gives the bathroom door
A final and desperate yankin' -
I been caught wankin'
"What's taking so long?!" she'd implore
'Cept here's something she's not seen before
Oh man, you been caught wankin'


or

Now I don't have to worry about a thing
As long as someone else is pulling my strings
My pop star can tell me what to know
I can get my political views from my youth radio
I can join the queues outside restaurant chains
Now I can do the Mexican Wave
Just tell me what's in and I'll make sure I fit
Just herd me into that mosh pit

Very limited TISM list you've got there ;)

If memory serves
Denial Works for me
He'll never be an ol man river
Been Caught Wankin'
and
Thunderbirds are coming out

Where's the 2potscrema!?
Where's the Morrison hostel!?
Where's the Defecate on my face?
or the Saturday Night Palsy!

You missed Schoolies week
and BFW

Tisk tisk.

It's novel. It's unique. It's shithouse.


To misquote another Aussie band: "I like their old stuff better than their new stuff"

[MoleTeaser]

TISM made me popular in Year 11 when I would sing Greg! The Stop Sign! to anyone and everyone. You can't polish a turd.

Don't techno for an answer.

Man I agree... but it was an impulse post and that was all I could leech out of my brain at the time..........how much u want????

I got plenty...............

Spurr, I reckon De Rigueurmortis is pretty good myself.... I think TISM are a particularly consistent band overall.

Dear Moby,

Having read you liner notes, I now violently oppose pain,
Death,
Famine,
Disease,
Slaughter,
War,
Youth Suicide,
Pollution,
Hitting your finger with the hammer,
Parking in disabled car parks,
The industrial military complex,
The death of innocent third world people,
Especially the children.

By the way,
I'd like to thank Mohammed and the Dalai Lama,
Safari suits and stating the fucking obvious.

All Homeboys Are Dickheads



I know his dad's abusive
And his mum prefers the daughter;
I know he's got an Attention Deficiency Disorder;
He's culturally excluded
And he's genetically inbred;
But the reason he's a homeboy
Is because he's a dickhead.

Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why he's a homeboy.
Tell me why, tell me why

Why, why, why, why

We all support empowerment
And positive discrimination
When your class, your race, your age, your face
Determines your social station;
A baseball cap and a love of rap
Might need sympathy - but, still,
Possibly a homeboy could be
A dickhead pure and simple.

Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why he's a homeboy.
Tell me why, tell me why

In the Brothers Karamazov
Here's what Dostoyevsky said;
"Know your enemy well enough
And you will pity them instead"
Pity soon will turn to love
Is what Jesus Christ once knew:
They changed their minds the day when
They met a homeboy crew

Great big cunt....great big country
Great big cunt....great big country

Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why ...

You will impress me when you quote
Australia - The World's Suburb.
no google boy :P

who can forget the classic 'defacate on your face'

i was upset when i found out they are a bunch of tie wearing accountants by day.

[jefah]

I meet one of them (who lived across the road from a friend of mine) and he was a teacher.:o


Does that make in a really cool teacher or a really boring rock star?

[Freuds_Cat]

Jefah I'm pro Dichotomy so I think its a good thing.

Hey I wonder what the Florida Police force that arrested Jim Morisson for less than 1 second of a flash would have thought of Ron?

Maybe it's due to "performance anxiety". ;)

I wouldn't call TISM an Underground band, they were commercial darlings in the mid to late 90s.
