R. Stevie Moore- Can't Afford No Food (1979)

www.rsteviemoor...
i can't afford no food
don't make enough income
come see if you can see my ribs
i'm too hungry to live
and i'm not asking for you to give
me nothing
i can't continue this
won't be around too long, long
see if you can go on a diet
i am forced to try it
and i am slowly but surely dying
see if you can lend me a five
just to keep me alive
so i can sing you a song tonight
one last line
i can't deny
i cancer vibe
as appears on
quits

the most underrated artist ever

[@rsmko]

bless you

[@astonmargolis-dias7089]

WOW Awesome that this chunk from wickerman was used for this

[@jacksonfritts2988]

Wicker man and Moore

[@kyleronson1]

@lnklttr the genius of it is that on a page on his site, the lyrics do say "cancer vibe". I'm sure he was aware how much it sounds like "can't survive", and how either of those things are kinda related. pretty damn brilliant

[@flyingcardinal]

I love this one

[@lnklttr]

@kyleronson1 Wow! I stand corrected, thanks for clearing that up. Brilliant indeed.

[@squealmoanhowl]

those are volume swells, probably done with the volume knob on the guitar or a volume pedal.

[@Brock2097]

Wow, sounds like Robert Fripp on guitar

[@blunderspublik]

Gently Stevie, gently Stevie...

[@jimmyjoefine]

very cool

[@Jopeal]

I'm not high enough for this right now.

[@lnklttr]

Last line sounds more like "I can't survive" than "I cancer vibe".

[@TheMightyHartley]

Yes, it is. :-)

[@auxnull]

He was insulting the video. The video is from the film "Wicker Man" has nothing to do with Mr. Moore. The video didn't really fit, but it was a good idea. Just needs to be synchronized.

hahahahahahahaha cancer vibe

[@mushyhsumx]

''I cancer vibe''! Wth does that mean? Hahahahaha.

[@sarcofaygo6218]

Homonym for "i cant survive", and alluding to him having the vibe of a sick person
