Desperately Trying to Be Different
Wildlife Saloon Tales: A Quirky Journey of Desperation and Individuality
Lyrics
Lizzy the lizard
Lizzy, a character introduced as a lizard
Met an angry young snake
Encounters an angry young snake named Jake
With forked-tongue grace
Jake possesses a forked-tongue grace
By the name of Jake:
Jake introduces himself
A yellow eyed diamond back rattler
Jake is described as a yellow-eyed diamond back rattler
In the chill-out room
The setting is the chill-out room of the 'wildlife saloon'
Of the 'wildlife saloon'
Reference to a place called the 'wildlife saloon'
She admired his skin,
Lizzy admires Jake's skin
Jake said it was fake
Jake claims his skin is fake
And Liz said: who cares,
Lizzy dismisses the importance, stating it doesn't matter
It don't really matter!
Expressing indifference towards Jake's authenticity
A question to raise,
Pose a question about modern people's behavior
Why people these days
Comment on people being like slaves to trends
Like slaves to the craze
Describing the obsession with crazes
Are somehow hell bent
Suggesting a paradox of being determined yet content with spending
Yet always content with fortune's spent
Linking to the theme of trying to be different
On desperately tryin' to be different
Main theme: desperately trying to be different
Willy the weasel said
Introduce Willy the weasel and Sammy the snitch
To Sammy the snitch
Willy suggests going to the dogs (betting)
Let's go to the dogs
Betting on a greyhound
And bet on that bitch
Desire to gamble on a female dog
The greyhound
Description of the greyhound's running style
That runs like a panther
Successful betting leads to a big score
They made a big score,
They visit a Hi-fashion store with their winnings
Went to the Hi-fashion store
Purchase two suits of shark skin
They bought two suits of shark skin
Include luxurious items like furs, ermine, and mink
Furs, ermine and mink
Preparing for the next chapter in life
All decked out for the next chapter
All decked out for a new phase
Nancy the nympho
Introduce Nancy the nympho and Lola La Leech
Yelled at Lola La Leech
Nancy expresses a desire for a permanent wave with bleach
I need a permanent wave
Desire for a specific hairstyle to resemble a cheap German dancer
With lotsa bleach
Expressing the wish to look like a certain character
I wanna look like a cheap German dancer
Nancy could pass for a queen in a second-hand dream
She could pass for a queen
Reference to the 'wildlife saloon' ambiance
In a second hand dream
Describing the atmosphere inside the saloon
Inside the gloom of the 'wildlife saloon'
Conclusion with wolfwhistles resembling laughter
The wolfwhistles
Highlighting the reactions in the saloon
Sounded just like laughter
Continuation of the saloon atmosphere
