| All Your Jeans Were Too Tight Written in late 1992/early 1993, this only appeared on the "No Alternative" compilation which came out in the autumn of 1993.This version was recorded while on the road in June of that year in Canyon Fall,MN. It was never performed live to my knowledge. |
| Everything I say sounds clumsy and dumb
Trying to make you feel better Is like trying to trick St. Peter Tuesdays and Thursdays I remember The Star's well drink special A well cheap as the tide Like that one that swallowed you up Yeah, you could really get f~cked up You and I brawl To give me all your clothes I looked like a fool To give everything away I put my flowers in your window To hide a world nobody would ever prize And all of this vanity would be funny If it didn't hurt so much You and I brawl All you and I had to throw away Was a cowardly pile of sheets And a heartbeat that couldn't carry you To want something better The street screwdrivers were like TNT And he said, "Your agony Is such an obvious barge to tow." That not even a mother could drop And he took his advice he said, "Drop your disappointment Like you drop a grand piano." You and I brawl To give me all your clothes But all your jeans were too tight And why did you paint your bathroom black I can understand liking Barbara Streisand But I'm not sure about the soundtrack from Diva And what was up with the tanning salon I'm sorry I said anything about the tattoo But did you really need another earring And I hope that you know that I really loved you And we had a good time, didn't we? |
