The thread title is too dangerouse. It could lead to banning.

Uranian spokespersons today reiterated the statement
that, “ Uranian Auroras are for peaceful porposes,
and that any attempts by Earth leaders to portray
them as weapons would be considered threatening
and war like. The Uranian people look forward to
working with the Earthlings into their future
such as if might be.

I Wanna Kiss Her (We’ll Always Have Uranus)

by Tim Cavanagh
available on: Dr. Demento’s Mementos, Eccentric LP/Picture Disc/CS 8912, 1982 (out-of-print)
Sounds Like Fun, Hits & Giggles Records HG4321, 1996 (see The Demented Address File)

I was ridin’ on a train to Austin, Texas,
When a very lovely lady sat next to me.
When she got up to eat,
She asked if I would hold her seat.
I was more than happy to,
And now there’s more I’d like to do.

I wanna kiss her but, she won’t let me.
I wanna whisper sweet nothin’s in her (r)ear.
I wanna hold her behind...closed doors and more.
I wanna kiss her but, she won’t let me.

When she returned, she said she was an actress.
She showed me an album of pictures of her opening, which she’d been sittin’ on.
She seemed as sweet as she could be,
But I could clearly see
She was the kinda girl who stole men’s hearts,
Then wrecked ‘em.

I wanna kiss her but, she won’t let me.
I wanna whisper sweet nothin’s in her (r)ear.
I wanna hold her behind...closed doors and more.
I wanna kiss her but, she won’t let me.

Well, I’ll never forget that train ride down to Austin.
We shared a seat, and we shared our tales.
But as my heart tries to leave her behind,
Regrets are all I find,
‘Cause I’d hoped I’d get that girl
In the end.

I wanna kiss her but, she won’t let me.
I wanna whisper sweet nothin’s in her (r)ear.
I wanna hold her behind...closed doors and more.
I wanna kiss her but,
I wanna kiss her but,
I wanna kiss her but,
She won’t let me.
