Back On The Chain Gang

I found a picture of you, oh-oh
Well, it hijacked my world at night
To a place in the past we've been cast out of, oh-oh
Now we're back in the fight
We're back on the train, yeah
Oh, back on the chain gang
Circumstance beyond our control, oh-oh
The phone, the TV and the news of the world

Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh-oh
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies
Put us back on the train, yeah
Oh, back on the chain gang

The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you
Well, I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
They'll fall to ruin one day
For making us part
I found a picture of you, oh-oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, oh-oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now I'm back on the train, yeah
Oh, back on the chain gang

Back to your youth (?, not sure)

They got a divorce and went back to the green, but you can never go back there again (Billy Joel, Scenes from an Italian restaurant)

Back on the Road Again

Please don't hate me mama for what I'm about to do
But the good times we've had together are just about now through
Please don't misunderstand me, I hate to see you cry
But I think that it might look better if I told you now goodbye
I'm back on the road again, it's time I leave you now
And maybe I'll see you next time, that I'm around
Until then I hope your happy baby and good times come your way

I'm back on the road again, I'm on my way
Well I've loved you since the day I met you and I'll love you till the day I die
But we both know the life I'm livin and we both know the reason why
That I've got to leave ya mama and I've got to leave today
But you know that I'll see you next time that I come through your town to play
ooh, bye-bye baby
ooh, bye-bye baby

back in the jeanstock

What you are if you forego climbing da "vine to Heaven", and instead return to speculating in Levi's, Lee, and/or Wrangler shares on Wall Street.

The famous fairy-tale got it all wrong --- Jack and his mother weren't merely poor to begin with, but they had previously squandered their savings on investments in big clothing-manufacturers. So after they'd spent all of the giant's gold, they had to go "back in the jeanstock" with the gold they could get from the enchanted goose's eggs, and the ticket-sales money they got from showing off the magic self-playing harp.

back of the oven

Something or someone so detestable that it literally has to go to the end of the line to be exterminated. Typically used in the context of something fascists would find absolutely abhorrent because it combines multiple hated attributes or despicable actions, like a mulatto communist, or transsexual child molester. From the old joke listed below:

Q: Why was the Black Jew sad?
A: Because he had to sit in the back of the oven.

Did you see that drag queen waving an Israeli flag and handing out dildo lollipops to children? Some real back of the oven shit there.
