| 1. Pincushion
I been stuck, so I asked her why
She gave me acupuncture as her alibi
Shook my soul, and stole my dough
Left my condition down a deep dark hole
I'm a pincushion, gotta face the facts
I'm just a pincushion, do everything she ask
I get nailed every now and then
I get my mojo w |

В 1994 году на свет Божий выходит очередная работа бородатых мастеров хорошего настроения из Техаса - "Antenna". В ней дружная группа немножко освежила направление музыки - поменьше клавишных, чуть больше сырости и гитарных гитар, больше живого в звуке. Смена формулы повлияла на пластинку положительным образом. На обложке нас встречают минималистично нарисованные члены коллектива - нескучный ход, кстати, очень хорошо отражающий характер музыки.
Начинается пласт сразу с нетленки - выстреливший сингл "Pincushion" - качающий рифф, мягкие соло в стиле Гиббонса, едкая лирика о незадачливом подкаблучнике. Идеальный кандидат на главный радио-хит и вечную прописку в сет-листе. Кроме звуковых изменений, чего-то шокирующего в рамках ZZ Top здесь не будет - продолжение линий предыдущих альбомов, старые традиции, исполненные всё так же мастерски. Есть очень романтичные медленные элементы, такие как "Breakaway" или "Cover Your Rig" (которая, кстати, наставляет юным слушателям о несомненной важности контрацепции), есть множество игривых блюзовых номеров, например, "Fuzzbox Voodoo", есть и дополнительно наэлектризованный классический рок в "Girl in a T-Shirt". Вокал Билли Гиббонса всё еще настолько же колоритен, у Дасти Хилла заметно едва уловимое старение голоса, которым он отметился сразу на трёх песнях, включая титульную "Antenna Head". Барабаны Фрэнка Бирда стали звучать более естественно и свежо по сравнению с предыдущими альбомами, практически полностью записанными с драм-машиной. В целом вроде бы старомодной группе освежение звуковой оболочки пришлось очень к лицу. Весьма интересны также "Deal Goin' Down" и чуть ли не фанковая "Lizard Life". - небольшой кусочек 90-х за авторством волшебников. В общем и целом градус фирменного коктейля ZZ Top не слабеет до самого конца на то время самой длинной пластинки техасцев.
"Antenna", даже со всеми легкими нововведениями, остаётся верен духу группы и вполне соответствует неповторимому каллиграфическому почерку ZZ Top. Альбом оказался весьма успешен в чартах, быстро став платиновым, и, по моему скромному мнению, является лучшей работой из всех, выходивших между "Eliminator" и крайней пластинкой на текущий момент - "La Futura". |

I'm a pincushion, gotta face the facts
I'm just a pincushion, do everything she asks
I'm getting pricked around and punctureated
I let my ya ya down, I got penetrated
I'm a pincushion, gotta face the facts
I'm just a pincushion, do everything she asks
I'm a pincushion, gotta face the facts
I'm just a pincushion, do everything she asks
2. Breakaway
It's a chemical attraction I just can't slide by
Every time I look into my baby's eyes
I'm helpless, so helpless, so I surrender
There's a visual attraction and she's branded my soul
Simply can't deny it, she has control
I'm helpless, so helpless, so I remember
She won't let me breakaway
She won't let me breakaway
I said break away, yeah, ah yeah
We were working it though, baby we had a groove
Movin' to the moment when we make our move
But it happened, something happened
And I'm not lying 'bout the pain
She won't let me breakaway
She won't let me breakaway
I said breakaway, yeah, oh yeah
I want the answer, I want my stuff
I'm dealing with a feeling deeper than love
But I'm helpless, so helpless, but I remember
She keeps saying breakaway
Something's saying breakaway
Telling me to breakaway
Keeps on saying breakaway
3. World of Swirl
I hit the street running, had an angle in mind
Looking for a shelter, doing double overtime
I get a little crazy, but I won't be denied
Gotta find the time that takes the inside outside
Tumbling, in a world of swirl
Rumbling, in a world of swirl
In a world of swirl
Everything's hazy, everything's a blur
Isn't it amazing? Checking outta where we were
It's so unpredictable, at the end of my rope
Gotta skate the ledge outta this kaleidoscope
Tumbling, in a world of swirl
Rumbling, in a world of swirl
In a world of swirl
In this cloud of dust, you've got to keep steady
Hang on you must, you better get ready
Over the ledge, ripping the curl
Riding the edge off into to twirl
Tumbling, in a world of swirl
Rumbling, in a world of swirl
In a world of swirl
4. Fuzzbox Voodoo
I went down with the fuzzbox
Grinding a pound or two
Say I'm down, with a fuzzbox
Pounding and a workin' it through
And because you've got fuzz
Go on and do what you wanna do
I down down with a fuzzbox
Checking out what it could do
It was step-2, blue voodoo
Fuzzed another hour or two
Just do it man
Go with yo' hand
Once you understand
Got to do what she wantcha to
Now lay down on your hot spot
Listen what I'm tellin' you
Said leand down witchu hot spot
Hit chu with the blue voodoo
Just do it dude
Everybody do
Once it's understood
Talkin fuzzbox blue voodoo
5. Girl in a T-Shirt
Some girls gotta get coco chanel
Some get the luck of the draw
I got a girl lookin' naturally well
Hippest chick you ever saw
She like wearin' powder and paint
Wheelin' in a big Seville
She's big cheese with the maitre d's
Down at the bar and grill
Just a girl in a t-shirt
Girl in a t-shirt
Her reputation precedes her
In every boutique around
They get down on their knees to please her
She's throwin' that money down
Now don't get it wrong, please understand
She's barely keepin' up with the rent
But the finer labels and her car phone
Kepp her down to her very last cent
Just a girl in a t-shirt
Girl in a t-shirt
Everybody digs her, everybody try
Once you get past that femme fatale
Everybody knows she's fine
I had to get it and quit it and keep a cool head
It took me a pass or two
But her code's done cracked I want you to know
She's my baby through and through
Just a girl in a t-shirt
Girl in a t-shirt
6. Antenna Head
Old 61's my number on the highway
I'm turning up the v's on the airways
I'm tuned into some bad-ass transactions
It's the only way to get my satisfaction
Yeah antenna head, yeah antenna head
Antenna waves be burnin' up my radio
Mister deejay say it's the only way to go
Cranked up all the way my tube is turning read
Got a pocket full off cornbread just call it
Antenna head
Yeah antenna head
Yeah antenna head
Yeah yeah yeah antenna head
Yeah antenna head
7. PCH
I was out on the coastline
Getting a little shake
Do it every day
For mercy sake
Sometime surf's up
Sometimes it's flat
Eatin' up asphalt
Prowlin' like a tomcat
Stunned at what I see
Should I stay or should I leave
Too much, not enough pch
Too much, not enough pch
Feelin' kind of free
By the deep blue sea
A true blood blue slud
Hangin' on me
Wanna head north
But I might go south
Can't make up my mind
Cause I'm thinking like brian
I'm hangin' in and out
I'm pullin' up cause it's about
Too much, not enough pch
Too much, not enough pch
8. Cherry Red
Strange things goin' through my head. Oh!
Crazy things that I think she said.
Slides so slinky that it's gotta be real.
She just wanna know how to feel.
Cherry red, cherry red
She just wanna feel cherry red.
Cherry red, cherry red
She just wanna feel cherry red.
This town of killer tits is doing me in.
Tried to leave once wanna do it again.
But this one little thing's such a thoroughbred.
I'm addicted to the feel of her cherry red.
Cherry red, cherry red
Addicted to the feel of her cherry red.
Cherry red, cherry red
I wanna keep thinkin' 'bout cherry red.
Whip out a bottle of your favorite rave
I think you better tend to your cherry crave
Ain't nothin' stupid what we're talking about
Take a little twist and then you pour it on out
Cherry red, cherry red
Think you better tend to your cherry red.
Cherry red, cherry red
I think you better give me that cherry red.
9. Cover Your Rig
If you been out messin' and actin' a fool
You best be confessin' hey, don't be cruel.
Just callin' attention you probably know
Don't hold on to nuthin', it's time to let go.
Lay baby I want 'cha, I'm hurtin' so big.
Take out some insurance, and cover your rig.
We talkin' resurrection to shred your head.
That certain possession you keep in yo' shed.
Don't wanna confuse you, muddy up yo' mind.
Let nothing abuse you or come from behind.
Say baby I want 'cha, I'm hurtin' so big.
Take out some insurance, and cover your rig.
If there's ever a question, take care of yourself.
Use your protection, be respecting yo'self.
Make no obligations, you can throw 'em to the wind.
Blind infatuations, the means to an end.
Say baby I want ya, I'm hurtin' so big
Take out some insurance, and cover your rig
10. Lizard Life
I got the attitude
And that's all I ever say
Don't Have To Tell Nobody
How their tail ought to lay
Had a sudden revelation
The heights that i've sunken down to
And I don't mind I can't find
My way out of this witch's brew
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
I stumbled on the way around
My own reality
Gettin' right-tightly wound
Past the pale of normality
I like big loungin' every day
On the iguana side of town
The lizard love, it mighty deep
Talkin' way underground
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
I be a reptile all day
And it's so fine
Ain't no other way
Like a life minus mind
I prefer reclinin'
Beatin' that conga drum
And waitin' for a three-point landin'
On my sticky tongue
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
I'm livin with a lizard life
11. Deal Goin' Down
When the deal goin' down and you gonna take your chance
There's always just a mystery that locks you in a trance
No matter what the future brings you're booked, and lawd you're bound
Be steppin' softly when you know the deal is goin' down
When the deal go down and the noose is bein' tied
Aint no gettin' round it, fade back and let it lie
No matter what the future brings you're booked, and lawd you're bound
Be steppin softly when you know the deal is goin' down
No matter what the future brings you're booked, and lawd you're bound
Be steppin softly when you know
No matter what the future brings you're booked, and lawd you're bound
Be steppin softly when you know the deal is goin' down
Goin' down
Down, down
I'm going down
