Banned from the End of the World
(Live @ YoYo-A-GoGo 1999)

Song is from YoYo-A-GoGo 1999 compilation CD/LP.
Official lyrics to this song come with The Hot Rock album;
I have modified them so that the lyrics posted here
reflect what I actually hear the band singing in this version of the song.
Because that took me time and effort, please do let me know
if you would like to use the lyrics I have posted here on your site.
Or even just reference my site on yours. Thanks!

band's spoken intro:
it seemed like we had 2 options for being consistent with the show... one, one we had thought about, which would have been, um, to take our clothes off like Old Time Relijun. but it seemed, it seemed like the safer bet would be to actually have a special guest play tambourine on the next song. so without further ado - Ms. Heather Dunn! (pause) she said she was standing by, but maybe she's left the building! we'll play the song, and she'll, she'll make her way... (pause) and Ms. Nikki McClure! (all right! and on the right Ms. Nikki McClure.) all right! dueling tambourines - you decide.
