Song Wedgie

Song: Joker And The Thief
Artist: Wolfmother
Album: Wolfmother
Release: 2006

This song’s intro transitions from the sounds of Boston to Queens of the Stone Age to Black Sabbath - a recipe for an Atomic Song Wedgie. Wolfmother blew my shoes at Lollapalooza few summers back and features a Fat drummer with a capital F. Their new album drops this Fall and hopefully it will be half as good as their self-titled disasterpiece.

Lyrics:
I said the joker is a wanted man, He makes his way all across the land, See him sifting through the sand, So I’ll tell you all the story, About the joker and the thief of the night, Always laughing in the midst of power, Always living in the final hour, There is always sweet in the sour, We are not goin’ home, Can you see the joker flying over, As she’s standing in the field of clover, Watching out everyday? I wonder what would happen if he took her away? What you see well you might not know, You get the feelin’ comin’ after the glow, The vagabond is moving slow, So I’ll tell you all the story, ‘bout the joker and the thief of the night, All the people that he see in the night, Hold their dreams up to the light, The old beast is searching for sight, We are not goin’ home, Can you see the joker flying over, As she’s standing in the field of clover, Watching out everyday? I wonder what would happen if he took her away? I said the joker is a wanted man, He makes his way all across the land, See him sifting through the sand, Tell you the story ‘bout the the joker and the thief, I said, I’ll tell you the story ‘bout the the joker and the thief, I said, I’ll tell you the story ‘bout the the joker and the thief, Of the night
