(Submit New Primus Lyrics) (Submit New Primus Lyrics) J.T.F. | Reviewer: T.Roy ------ About the song John the Fisherman performed by Primus Wow! I really have fun with this one on Guitar Hero but I never really payed much attention to the lyrics after the first chorus. Until now. It's like a short-form "Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" or "The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner". Very cool story. My Dad and Primus! | Reviewer: Tiffany Chance ------ About the song American Life performed by Primus my dad listened to this band a long time ago, and a few weeks ago i found a tape of this band's and listened to it... too bad that it had my kind of music over it!!! Cite Klont | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sgt. Baker performed by Primus Amazing song by an amazing band. Pioneers of experimentation in modern "rock" bands. Bloody good. Primus Sucks! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sgt. Baker performed by Primus Les Claypool is so awesome at bass. This is one of my fav's because of the bass and lyrics. But I have one question how does one rape a personality? lyrics | Reviewer: Vlad ------ About the song John the Fisherman performed by Primus primus, as you can probably tell, take their music much, much, much more seriously than their lyrics. Still, this is a great song. One of my favorites. simple song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Mary The Ice Cube performed by Primus funny song, in a sad way....I like how the song (on the surface) is about his love for an ice cube but really it's just a simple song about his desparity to find true love (that's what I get anyways....) John The Fisherman | Reviewer: Black Tooth Grin ------ About the song John the Fisherman performed by Primus A really sharp bouncy and surreal song. I love the homage to Rush's YYZ at the start of the song on the Suck On This live album. Just a generally fun song. Incorrect lyrics and a broken web site ... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Antipop performed by Primus ... make for continually incorrect lyrics. I tried to submit a corrections, but I get an error when I try that. Anyway, "by running into grain" makes no sense. I'm aware this is Primus, and that is their specialty, but for a song like "Antipop", wouldn't a phrase like "I run against the grain" (this is a slang phrase that means "I'm anti-commercial/ANTI-POP") make a little more sense for a lyric? Guitar Hero 2 | Reviewer: Roniel ------ About artist/band Primus Hey,In Your Song,John The Fisherman,It's So Easy Because I Only Did Medium! John The Fisherman | Reviewer: Less ------ About the song John the Fisherman performed by Primus I love this song so much. I've always wanted to be a marine biologist when I grow up because I love the ocean and sea. This song really has a big inpact on me. I always think that if I die doing what I love to do, then I'll die in the ocean's waters. I absolutly ador going fishing and I thank you Primus fo coming up with this song. It's also great on "Guitar Hero II". -Leslie Ann Primus and Macbeth | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song My Friend Fats performed by Primus Good song, im using it to describe the book Macbeth by Shakespeare in english class... lmaool Yes Sir! | Reviewer: jake ------ About the song Sgt. Baker performed by Primus I thought it was supposed to be a new look at Sgt. Baker from Full Metal Jacket - one of his most famous likes is "Texas, You're from Texas? Boy, only things in Texas are Steers and Queers and you ain't got no horns boy so what does that make you?" fishin round | Reviewer: Mike ------ About the song John the Fisherman performed by Primus What does this song mean? It's about a kid who chooses not to follow the norm. Instead, he finds interest and comfort in the skills of fishing, something unusual and different. With a dream of being a professional fisher, John becomes one, a lonely fisherman who is eventually eaten up by the thing he loved most, the sea. Written in his younger years, Les Claypool's typical redneck, tweeked out perception of reality delivers a dull, yet a metaphorically clear message on life. With his insane popping bass and the abstract whines of his bandmates guitar, musically this song is a powerful and aggresive, catchy tune. Inovative and creative, towards the dynamic of Primus, this song is one of my favorites of theirs. Though the music and the lyrics are both very bold, I feel the intensity and surrealness of their music distracts the listener from the actual words of the lyrics. However, for intent listeners and Primus fans, the lyrics of the song, once heard and understood, personify the music and the perception of Primus as a band. "...said tommy the cat..." | Reviewer: drumking422 ------ About the song Tommy the Cat performed by Primus This song is a lot of fun to listen to. All the instruments contribute evenly throughout the song, and the lyrics are simply fantastic. It's as if they were written as a paragraph, then said over the music in no particular rhythm. This song highlights Primus' ability to make a song out of the things you wouldn't usually make a song of... but when it's finished it shows more talent and creativity than any other 'conventional' song. 10/10 fer shure! Yes Sir!, Yes Sir! | Reviewer: Radle Vox ------ About the song Sgt. Baker performed by Primus In my opinion this song brings to light Primus at their highest point. The slightly sarcastic and driving bass line, accompanied by an even harder drum beat, pull this into one of Les Claypool's finest works. Everything that we all love about Primus, the bassline that makes no sence, the busy drums and the guitarist going off on his own tanget, are all put into this song and is found all throughout the album. As for the lyrics. It is clear that they display the mis-conception of miliary life in America. It is as if Claypool is saying very sarcasticly "This is what it's really like...". All in all, this song is easily one of my favourites and never stops me from shouting "Yes Sir!, Yes Sir!" along with it. 8/10.
