    I found this topic and I was geared up for them, but I clicked on the link and it was dead (phone went dead).
Anyone know what the lyrics are to Oxen?

P. S.  He dedicated the show to someone or something
called (what sounded like ) "Viz Marquee" - ever heard of
that/them?

i wanted to see your holy laugh(could be mouth or something else, any other guesses would rock)
i wanted to feel the air come out
dirty thoughts occured to me that
could've had em if i wanted

but all i could think of was last summer
and the one before that

should've known better
all those old letters
i always wanted to read
woulda been nice if my
old devices would've
just let me be....

how could i know?

see you ridin home (home is a tentative guess, could "bright and old")
your nicotine filled smile
lay that down and roll with me now
air goes in and sound comes out now
and all i can think of is last summer
and the one before that

should've known better
all those letters
i always wanted to read
woulda been nice if my
old devices would've
just let me be...

how could i know?

and the band was probably Biz Markie
The river is moving. The blackbird must be flying.

Thank you, Tom!   That was quick.   I would definitely think
it's "home" on that second verse, at least that's what it
sounds like to me.   This was the first song they played in
Dallas last time and it's always been a favorite.    Never heard of Biz Markie.    Thanks again.

"oh baby, you..... you got what I neeeeeeee---eeeeed.
But you say he's just a friend, but you say he's just a friend.
ON BABY! Yoooouuuu...."

 That's Biz Markie.

and listening to this song tonight, I was struck by the way Jim sticks the final T in "that" from this verse:

but all i could think of was last summer
and the one before that
