about

This is one of the last numbers in Objects. In the show I didn’t play guitar, on the recording I don’t either. I was always trying to get the guys in Fist to let me put the guitar down and just sing. Well on this one I sang and danced. I did a real number, rolling around on the floor and making a real spectacle of myself. This is probably the most fun song I have ever done. I didn’t write the words or the music, but I did sing lead vocal so that counts, right?

I think it’s probably the best singing I did on recording. It’s not that great but I’m not trying anything fancy. I need to do more like that but I have a hard time controlling my urges.

lyrics

A little called anything shows shudders.

Come and say what prints all day. A whole few watermelon. There is no pope.

No cut in pennies and little dressing and choose wide soles and little spats really little spices.

A little lace makes boils. This is not true.

Gracious of gracious and a stamp a blue green white bow a blue green lean, lean on the top.

If it is absurd then it is leadish and nearly set in where there is a tight head.

A peaceful life to arise her, noon and moon and moon. A letter a cold sleeve a blanket a shaving house and nearly the best and regular window.

Nearer in fairy sea, nearer and farther, show white has lime in sight, show a stitch of ten. Count, count more so that thicker and thicker is leaning.

I hope she has her cow. Bidding a wedding, widening received treading, little leading mention nothing.

Cough out cough out in the leather and really feather it is not for.

Please could, please could, jam it not plus more sit in when.
