Kind of a '70s supergroup, if you can consider a mix of less famous members of well-known bands to be a supergroup.

Of the people who would keep us on our knees"

XTC. A pretty good album.

Somebody tell my mother I cried

Is the title "Mechanical World"?

A sad tale on Spirit, Randy California the guitarist, drowned after saving his son during a rip tide in Hawaii.

A guy's personal name, I believe.

You're correct about the San Francisco part...

I got the password
I got persuasion
A proposition for invasion of your privacy
Give yourself away and find the fake in me

this whole room smells like piss
but in the dark my dog's a star
your name is at the top of my list
and I know where you are

"Oh dear, Miss Morse,
I want you.

This may strike you oddily
But I want you...bodily...

“She looked in the cupboard
And found the eyes
In a suitcase.”

Trouble Every Day is/was one of my favorite Zappa songs - the lyric went through my head when I saw the Good video last week.

You can tell me, baby, what is that stuff?

...So rap it to the beat.“

I used to be a Pharisee
Cynical and wise, telling rich ungodly lies of humanity

(Hint: '60s San Francisco psychedelic band who had one of the 1st hit songs to come out of SF)

from a band known for its lyrics, but not known for its harmonies.

You don't learn everything there is to know in school."'

(Hint: San Francisco '60s band that S.F. disc jockeys "Big Daddy" Tom Donohue & Bobby Mitchell discovered & recorded on their Autumn Records label)

We were liars in love
And we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
