Trapped in a mine that had caved in

[baldguy]

And everyone knows the only ones left
Were Joe and me and Tim

When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale
Were Joe and me

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?

Hungry as hell no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, "I'll take a swig
And then there's some for you."

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?

I must have blacked out just around then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around
To finding Timothy

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?

Timothy...

4. I thought the theme for today was "creepy 70's songs"

5. Creepy, yeah, but this creepy?? n/t

[baldguy]

6. Yeah, but just think -

Some time around 1970 or so, some record exec looked at this and thought it would be a good idea for one of his groups to record it & play it on the radio.

and it's a REAL catchy tune!

7. I have never heard it

I can't really say that I want to hear it, either. :)

The same guy that brought you the "Pina Colada Song".

"Timothy" by The Buoys...

3. You're kidding me, right?

I can't believe that! What a difference from "Pina Colada" which was so treacle-y.

Boy, that is one creepy song.
