The Eagles Dirty Laundry



Arguably the BEST band in HISTORY; (yes...probably tied w/Pink Floyd, Ray! lol! :-D I LOVE this band!!!!! I gave myself the BEST birthday gift that I had ever gotten, by taking myself and a friend of mine out to see Eagles for my 40th birthday...already 8 years ago, now! (My how time flies!) I paid $150/seat and I have NEVER regretted it! What I saw, that night, were some old rockers who STILL had it after 40(!!) YEARS!!! How many bands can boast that kind of a record?! Not many!! Guaranteed!

I, immediately, loved them from the first time I heard 'Their Greatest Hits' album! I was HOOKED!

And...then, came their newer stuff...like this song. I LOVE their lyrics; always so poignant and true! Anything that Don Henley touches turns to gold; how I LOVE that man! If you've never heard much of the Eagles, give 'em a listen; you won't be disappointed!

Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick em when they're up
Kick em when they're down
Kick em when they're up
Kick em when they're down
Kick em when they're up
Kick em when they're down
Kick em when they're up
Kick em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You don't really need to find out whats going on
You don't really want to know just how far its gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick em when they're up
Kick em when they're down
Kick em when they're up
Kick em when they're down

Kick em when they're up
Kick em when they're down
Kick em when they're stiff
Kick em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When its said and done we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!
