Music & Lyrics by Garland Jeffreys. From the album "Escape Artist". GRAVEYARD ROCK They carried him away In a Cadillac hearse And what was worse They showed no mercy I remember that day When he had the curse After chapter and verse He died an alcoholic Graveyard rock That's what they call it in the neighborhood Graveyard rock That's what they call it on the block Graveyard rock I bet you really never thought he would Graveyard rock I hear the ticking of the clock It was so tragic Another painful story And just a-like magic Out the 21st story They say the deed was done A when they sealed that coffin It happened quite often In the crash of '80 of '81 Graveyard rock Mash it up Now there was no glory No ceremony His epitaph told me He was no phony They buried that casket It went six feet under And rain nor thunder Can hide nor mask it There ain't no laughter No hereafter There ain't no big fun In the crash of '80 of '81 Graveyard rock

Don't Call Me Buckwheat - Garland Jeffreys

04:55
Don't Call Me Buckwheat from the "Don't Call Me Buckwheat" album released in 1992. It's time to bury the 'N' word along with all the other racial slurs. I was inspired to write this song after a very upsetting moment: I was at Shea Stadium watching the Mets vs. Houston, Dwight Gooden vs. Nolan Ryan. I was sitting in foul territory in left field. I got up to get a few franks and soda for the guys, walking and watching the game and going down the steps, all at the same time. I was probably blocking the view of people--and one guy says, "Hey, Buckwheat! Get the f--k out of here, Buckwheat!" I had never heard the word used before like that; I was shocked. I turned around and I was just frozen. I kept walking and I was on line and feeling really uncomfortable. I said, "Don't call me Buckwheat" to myself, and I went home and wrote the song. It just brought back my whole childhood, all the name calling. I grew up in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn in a very mixed-race community: Jews, Irish, Blacks, Italians and Spanish, K--s, M--ks, N-----s, W--s and sp--s. You heard those words a lot. I would cringe when I heard the "n------" word and I still do. The whole usage of it today in rap disturbs me to no end. Kids don't know the real meaning and how it feels to hear it. It got to the point where you knew you'd hear it almost every day from someone.
