You don't have the lyrics to Swallow My Pride? Well, here's what I hear from the 10/1/75 version. It's probably the worst song FZ ever wrote. The opening riff and pre-verse theme are vaguely remniscent of those in Camarillo Brillo.

Foggy G, "The Songs That Were Played," We're Only In It For The Touring

1975: What to say about this song? It sounds like a cross between "Camarilo Brillo", "T'Mershi Duween", and "San Ber'dino". This upbeat number starts off with a short FZ guitar riff, highly reminiscent of the guitar opening on "Camarillo Brillo". The lyrics, sung by Brock, are pretty lame- "You can swallow my pride, get it all inside"- with additional lyrics being similar sexual innuendos of a pretty lame sort. After the two verses of lyrics, we get a short boogie jam, reminiscent of the middle portion of "San Ber'dino", with no soloists just the band chugging along. This leads into the "T'Mershi Duween" sounding section, in which each band member plays a short riff on their instrument. Kind of like "Musical Hot Potato", in which each band member passes the riff onto the next member. This then returns us to the boogie jam, which quickly loses its head of steam (purposely), and segues into the always next "Any Downers". Not a great song, and essentially the same each performance, but definitely worth hearing.
