...about bass G.A.S., it might've gone something like this:
"I WANT YOU" (AKA "Ballad of a Bass Fiend") by Bob Dealin'
The guilty Craigslist seller lies
The Ebay vendor coughs and sighs
Talkbass members say that I
Should refuse you
Your cracked headstock and neck too thinnish
They just do not begin t'diminish
This tale can have no other finish:
It's SO true:
I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey, I want you
The vicious lust that comes in waves
And makes us into auction slaves
That "one more bass" the junkie craves, it waits for you
Search results that interrupt
Me drinkin’ from my coffee cup
And ask me if I'll open up
My wallet for you
I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey, I want you
All my dollars, they’ve gone down
Savings, I don't tout 'em
'Cause no fat nest eggs have got "tone"
So I can do without 'em
Well, I don't care if it's "buy" or "trade"
There is a deal that must be made
She knows that I am not afraid to bid on her
Today, tomorrow, yesterday
There's not a bass I wouldn't play
I really don't know what t'say
But it doesn’t matter
I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey, I want you
Now your battered nut is not of bone
Your bridge saddles they can't intone
Though they try.
But I bought you even though he lied
He really took me for a ride
I guess I haven't any pride
And because I . . .
I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey, I want you
