Have you ever said one thing when you really meant another? I said I wanted to be her friend, what I meant was I wanted to be her lover, wanted to be her lover. Have you ever said something when it wasn't what you meant? She said we might be lovers, what she meant was we'd never be more than friends, never be more than friends. She said she'd love to see me and could I come over later? What she meant was that she needed me to move her refrigerator, move her refrigerator. I said I was too busy but I'd be there in an hour. What I meant was I needed time to buy the champagne and the flowers, champagne and the flowers. And the chocolate. And the jewelry. And the gift certificates, I was there in half an hour. And standing at her doorstep, little bows on every package. Well, she meant it when she said she thought I might have over-reacted. I might have over-reacted. Well, I helped her with her housework and she said, let's go out walking. What she meant was she didn't want to have to listen to me talking. And so we went out walking. She said she'd love to hold my hand 'cause I wasn't like other fellas. What she meant was she was trying to make someone else get jealous, someone else get jealous. So there we were out walking and someone came running after. And judging from his size I'd have to say he played linebacker. For the Green Bay Packers. I told him to get lost and couldn't he see we're a happy couple? What I meant was he could have her 'cause she wasn't worth all the trouble, wasn't worth all the trouble. And the chocolate. And the jewelry. And the gift certificates, well I knew I was in trouble. 'Cause he punched me in the nose and then I said I hardly felt it. What I meant was, please don't hurt me again! But I guess he couldn't help it. And finally I just melted. Well I woke up on the sidewalk and I heard here say, you're my hero. ...As she kissed that other guy and I just felt like one big zero. So much for being the hero. So I hope that you've been listening 'cause I've been there and I've seen it. And no matter what you hear be sure to always read between it 'cause they don't really mean it. Yes I would have, if I dould have, but you should have known it's understood, what I meant was, what I meant was, what I meant was I didn't mean it.**********************FOR ITUNES DOWNLOAD, CLICK ON THE BUY NOW BUTTON!
**********************Since being discovered ranting and singing on a Brooklyn rooftop as a film crew was scouting locations for a video shoot of Pork Chop's holiday classic "White Trash Christmas", which went on to feature Larry, he has made quite a splash. His self-titled first CD received great reviews and excited word of mouth, with ever-increasing sales, downloads and airplay -- leading to guest appearances on several shows; and wonderful cover versions. Most notably, the vocal trio, THE ROCHES new CD, MOOSWEPT, features 2 of Larry's songs (one from the first CD and one from the new one). His videos are fan favorites and his live performances -- many of which are for various political causes -- are true events.
Larry is an adamant opponent of our traditional Two-party system. As he puts it, "After a party on Friday night and a party on Saturday night, I'm just gettin' warmed up!" (True to his beliefs the otherwise hard-to-track-down Larry can usually be seen performing live with his imaginary band the third Sunday of every month at Otto's Shrunken Head in NYC's Lower East Side.)While the moniker of "paranoid" came about as an overstatement of his views, there's no doubt that Larry is suspicious of the powers-that-be. He reminds us to never stop paying attention, and that a suspicion and questioning of authority is the true American way. As he sings it, "When all that's said should be read in reverse, solutions are meant to make things worse."Lucky for us though, Paranoid Larry's sense of humor and spirit of fun dominate his Party Pop sound. With great songs, terrific delivery, musicianship, and excellent production, it's guaranteed to tickle your funnybone, get your toes tapping, your knees knocking and the whole house rocking!Check out the songs, the videos, the CDs and the shows. And sign up to be one of Larry's friends.
His new cd, ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?, is available at www.cdbaby.com/paranoidlarry2
Enjoy it!!!! (while you still can)

You're saying that you need to keep the streets safe. But I don't want you going through my briefcase. And I don't want you searching my backpack. I'm running rather late so please step back. And no I won't empty my pockets. 'Cause somebody finally has got to say, Stop it! I've had it up to here! They're playing us with our fear. When the one thing we ought to be afraid of, is forgetting what we are made of. Ain't this the land of the free? This is the land where you can't search me. You can't search me. You can't search me. The touch of your authority is messing with me. You're leaving behind your emotional debris, along with your millions of microbes. And how do I know you ain't a psycho? Your X-ray goggles are over the top. And no I won't take off my shoes and socks, 'cause I've had it up to here! They're playing us with our fear, when the main thing we ought to be afraid of, is forgetting what we are made of. Ain't this the land of the free? This is the land where you can't search me. You can't search me. You can't search me. More and more often I see more cops, with automatic rifles and hand grenades. It takes all the fun out of taking a walk. They say that they need it to keep us safe. The reason they give aint the reason they've got. It's all in their game to intimidate. And all it takes is a word from the top. And martial law is locked in place. . . . I can'r help getting kind of jumpy, whenever they get kind of grumpy. They want to know why I look worried. I tell them I'm just in a hurry. They're telling me to empty my pockets. Well, somebody fin'lly has to get them to stop it. I've had it up to here! They're playing us with our fear. When the one thing we ought to be afraid of, is forgetting what we are made of. Ain't this the land of the free? This is the land where you can't search me. You can't search me. You can't search me.
