CRUISE CONTROL
(Words and Music by The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco)
Travel in Cruise control
Authority on the mind
Call on the CCHR
Seeking to undermine
Follow the Dianetics
Something to help ease the pain
Sipping a Coca-Cola
It's syrup for the brain
It's syrup for the brain
Use propaganda, destroy reputation
Cancel the order, for public relation
Old father Hubb wages stubborn pursuit
Cut down to size, shrink respectable suit
Forces of madness have won
Bailey expressed in a letter
Lapsing into a coma
Bailey never got better
Bailey never got better
Use propaganda, destroy reputation
Cancel the order, for public relation
Old father Hubb wages stubborn pursuit
Cut down to size, shrink respectable suits
Miscavige must have misgivings
Inviting Ronson today
35 miles south of city
Musical chairs to play
Musical chairs to play
Straight from the mouth of a hopper
The velvet as blue as can be
As broad as a moor & as wily
When will I ever be free
When will I ever be free
Use propaganda, destroy reputation
Cancel the order, for public relation
Old father Hubb wages stubborn pursuit
Cut down to size, shrink respectable suits

THE LEGEND OF JOSI & THE JUKE
(Words and Music The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco)
Home on the grange where he covers the ground
Steed is engaged and she won't make a sound
Snakes in the grass he will slide until dawn
The legend of Josi and Juke has been born
Miniatures rattle inside of his glove
It's soup for the soul lets him show you the love
Scatter the fox he will ride until dawn
The legend of Josi and Juke has been born
This is the east so show me your teeth
As wild as the west and as mean
At Leyton Lagoon he'll stow in the flume
The chlorine can't keep them all clean
The chlorine can't keep them all clean
Riding alone just like Cushman before
He packs enough heat to burn holes in your door
Asunder the rats he will pipe until dawn
The legend of Josi and Juke has been born
This is the east so show me your teeth
As wild as the west and as mean
At Leyton Lagoon he'll stow in the flume
The chlorine can't keep them all clean
The chlorine can't keep them all clean
I was born a cowboy, I'd never ride a horse
It's all about the boots and hat and what you ride of course I'll die a cowboy, but cowboys never cry
I was born a cowboy, cowboys never lie
I was born a cowboy, cowboys never lie

LIST SONG
(Words and Music The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco)
Taking steps, touching hearts
Catching breath, making starts
Falling down, standing tall
Breaking bones, climbing walls
Feeling great, talking brave
Cheating chance, breaking waves
Healing hands, killing time
Mending hearts, friends of mine
Mending hearts, friends of mine
Jump into the river
Cling on to deadwood
Pulling the trigger
Wishing you could
Swim to the mainland
Dry in the sun
If love is the answer
I love no one
If love is the answer
I love no one
Making plans, empty task
Cry for help, scared to ask
Bridge a gap, cover tracks
Moving on, stepping back
Jump into the river
Cling onto deadwood
Pulling the trigger
Wishing you could
Swim to the mainland
Dry in the sun
If love is the answer
I love no one
If love is the answer
I love no one
Watching clocks, counting sheep
Priceless words, talking cheap
Closing time, ringing bell
Up or down, time will tell
Up or down, time will tell
If love is the answer
I love no one
If love is the answer
I love no one

BREAKFAST OF KINGS
(Words and Music The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco)
All human life at his table
Gather the great and the good
Not all of us receive the calling
But all of us misunderstood
Always a chair at his table
Never remember a name
Not for a shoulder to cry on
Just to apportion the blame
I'll take a drink with you
I'll take one without
For the fire in my belly that just won't go out
I'll take a drink with you lets wash away sins
We'll live forever
To breakfast of kings
We'll live forever
To breakfast of kings
Step up to the bar lets be honest
Too early to write off the day
There must be a hole in my pocket
Bring out the horses to play
I'll take a drink with you
I'll take one without
For the fire in my belly that just won't go out
I'll take a drink with you lets wash away sins
We'll live forever
To breakfast of kings
We'll live forever
To breakfast of kings
All human life at his table
Gather for feast of the doomed
Step over the stumbling wounded
Or feed with a withering spoon
I'll take a drink with you
I'll take one without
For the fire in my belly that just won't go out
I'll take a drink with you lets wash away sins
We'll live forever
To breakfast of kings
We'll live forever
To breakfast of kings

The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco Essex, UK
In 1957, Harley Earl designed the most beautiful automobile the world would ever
see.
By 1960 the tail-fin was all but extinct.
In 2013 Harley Earl appeared to Essex chancers David Myers and Malcolm Moore in a dream.
‘Create melody and meaning that will allow the human race to move freely and without drag...
Be aer-o-dy-NAS-mic.
Be The 1957 Tail-Fin Fiasco’.

Mr. Saturday Night
by Julian Velard
Worth the entrance fee for 'Fellow Americans' alone. Also, he has the word 'Fiasco' prominently featured on the cover of his 'Fancy Words For Failure' album. We think it's a message.
