uuugh... I though the Tall Dwarfs made some pretty gross vids but this bunch of freaks are truly more disturbing... suits the track.

Hey! Me too!

Woo hoo, great minds think alike(haha)

Submitted by Minuteman on Sun, 2002-01-13 00:18.

Yeah, you couldn't say my mind is to great

Submitted by Megaccino on Mon, 2002-02-18 15:20.

Ditto... where can I get the lyrics??

Submitted by Minuteman on Sat, 2002-02-23 21:48.

Yeah, why the hell didn't they put it in the Gready Sleeve?

Submitted by Megaccino on Sat, 2002-03-02 21:04.

They're on Fiona McDonalds site (They're identical, but HC version cooler)
But her site is Java or flash or something & can't be copied & pasted. Dammit, someday I might get around to typing it out.

Apparently Tadpole is doing a cover of George on their next album.

Submitted by tali on Tue, 2002-01-15 12:18.

that sounds like somthing theyd do, they love george

Submitted by Minuteman on Wed, 2002-01-16 23:27.

How do you know that?

Submitted by Megaccino on Mon, 2002-02-18 15:21.

Damn, trust Tadpole to go stealing & probably ruining a good song

Submitted by Nana on Sun, 2002-02-24 02:33.

re tadpole cover of George, saw them doing it live, had whole room singing along, Tadpole have policy of covers being of other NZMusic some of the stuff quite old.... bringing to new set of ears xclent.

Hey, why does my copy of Greedy look different to the one on the sight?

Submitted by robyn on Mon, 2002-02-18 06:02.

Because the album cover pictured is not "Greedy" by the Headless Chickens, it's "Greedy 4 Life" by Mista Rodd. Uh-oh.

Any one else see that thing on No. 8 last night on them?

Submitted by Minuteman on Wed, 2002-04-03 00:07.

Yay! Just found out they have a Greatest Hits CD coming out some time this year!

Submitted by Megaccino on Tue, 2002-04-09 21:15.

Coooooool, as long as George is on it, I'm there (ps, has anyone found the lyrics yet?? Copy & Paste-able ones??)

Submitted by tali on Sat, 2002-04-13 23:16.

if you go to www.fionamcdonald.com and lyrics, then click on the first album, then number 6 - you have the lyrics for george.

Submitted by Megaccino on Sun, 2002-04-14 19:53.

Yeah, I said that above... But you can't copy & paste them.

Submitted by tali on Sun, 2002-04-14 22:32.

Submitted by Megaccino on Wed, 2002-04-17 17:34.

You know you don’t love me, but you still want to touch me
Feel my body, well it makes you feel ugly
Want to use me, emotionally abuse me
Show the rope and dangle it above me
Want the truth and nothing but the whole truth
Same goes, but I’m looking for the real proof
It’s on the floor on a little piece of paper
That I named but I’m never going to need it (I’m not too sure on this line)

It would seem that you’re no good at deceit
It would appear that you’re lying, you cheat
Want to shrink to the beings in the corner?
Wonder how cause it feels like torture
Spare me your week apologies
I don’t care for the way they make me bleed
Can’t find a reason and you won’t explain
You’ll be sorry if it happens again

Let’s make a deal, or I’ll hurt you, you know

Beat a path to my door
Why, why, why
Say all the things you said before
Why, why
Tell me the gospel according to you

You know you don’t love me, but you still want to touch me
Feel my body, well it makes you feel ugly
Want to use me, emotionally abuse me
Show the rope and dangle it above me
You know you don’t love me, but you still want to touch me
Feel my body, well it makes you feel ugly
Want to use me, emotionally abuse me
Show the rope and dangle it above me

Let’s make a deal, or I’ll hurt you, you know

You haven’t a notion and you haven’t a clue
You have to know that I cannot trust you
Now I know too well your ways
Now I know I’ll always pay

So I sit in my room, not daring to move
Never raising my voice and thinking of you
And I’ll try to imagine that we never met
Try to pretend and I’ll try to forget

Let’s make a deal, or I’ll hurt you, you know

Beat a path to my door
Why, why, why
Say all the things you said before
Why, why
Tell me the gospel according to you

You know you don’t love me, but you still want to touch me
Feel my body, well it makes you feel ugly
Want to use me, emotionally abuse me
Show the rope and dangle it above me
You know you don’t love me, but you still want to touch me
Feel my body, well it makes you feel ugly
Want to use me, emotionally abuse me
Show the rope and dangle it above me

You know you don’t love me, but you still want to touch me
Feel my body, well it makes you feel ugly
Want to use me, emotionally abuse me
Show the rope and dangle it above me

Amazing what I’ll do to put off doing my Physics assessment, isn’t it?

Submitted by Megaccino on Fri, 2002-04-19 21:37.

Cool, thanks buddy :)

Submitted by Megaccino on Sat, 2002-04-20 22:33.

Ahhh, I seriously love this song. It's my #1 fave NZ song. Sooo cool & I love the guitar in the 'beat a path to my door' chorus.

Submitted by Minuteman on Tue, 2002-04-23 21:53.

And the last verse is cool, how it kinda yells it out...

Submitted by tali on Sat, 2002-05-04 01:59.

after some thought ive labelled it my no.1 fave song too...theres nothing wrong with it and you never get sick of it

Submitted by Megaccino on Sat, 2002-05-04 02:12.

*sigh* it IS such a cool song.... I listen to it @ least daily. Fiona's one of the few female singers I like, the others who attempt rock or alternative styles just come off as try-hards.

Submitted by tadpole_rock on Fri, 2002-06-07 23:16.

yay for the release of chicken hits next week!! george and cruise control will be featured along with many other wonderfull hits

Submitted by trystero on Tue, 2002-06-18 00:18.

Anyone picked it up yet? Is the remix disc any good (could have been a bit more diverse re : remixes - quite a few good remixes were included on singles, from memory).

Oh, & we can all start arguing about the tracklisting.

Submitted by vic on Tue, 2002-06-18 00:40.

yeah i picked it up two days ago...the first disc is great...the remix disc is...very average
could just be me..but i thought the remixes kinda ruined the songs

Submitted by iluvtheclean on Tue, 2002-06-18 01:12.

saw Chris M play at Arc the other night with Jay Clarkson ... man he has a great voice for a little guy ... they were both fantastic, though i was full of trepidation about their stuff sounding a lil quiet with the whole unplugged thing ... but luckily they both just revved up the shredding and shrieking :)

Submitted by trystero on Mon, 2002-07-08 23:32.

They're both playing at the David Eggleton "Versifier" CD launch, yay. I'd forgotten Chris M lives in Dunedin . . .

Submitted by Tama Drummer on Tue, 2002-07-09 02:25.

I like their cover of that Abba song 'Super Trouper' they made a shit song sound good!!

Submitted by Megaccino on Fri, 2002-09-06 19:11.

Covers rock. They usually make me appreciate the original more too. I dunno if even Headless Chickens can make me like an Abba song though...

Submitted by Old handWTF! on Thu, 2003-06-05 20:11.

Abba were pure pop genious

i like fernando

Submitted by iluvtheclean on Thu, 2002-11-07 17:52.

wow. a nice antidote/echo of/answer to "Cruise Control" - the experiment went wrong ... beautiful bittersweet song of regret. Freaky seeing what was left of the band sitting in the crashed car ...

Submitted by myshkin on Thu, 2002-11-07 20:26.

Very very cool song - but what are you watching?

Submitted by iluvtheclean on Thu, 2002-11-07 21:32.

Magnet vid dude! did you get a different impression yourself?

Submitted by myshkin on Fri, 2002-11-08 19:17.

Ah sorry, crossed wires here. I knew you were watching the Magnet vid, but you seemed to be watching a lot of Vids I'd love to be watching, was wondering if I was missing out on something like a TV programme.

Submitted by myshkin on Fri, 2002-11-08 19:21.

Actually forgot there were videos to watch on this site. Well clever, I am!
