lyrics

This is a particular favorite of mine. The choruses somehow try to reimagine those kind of meters I loved in songs like "Fast Robert", "Don't you ail, flash to the steam" by Spratleys Japs, while the verses are more straight sixties funky oriented... the guitar intro was originally written in 2007, while the coda was improvised during recording, in a period during which I was listening to a lot of "Fractured"-era King Crimson... What it's wrong with my times?

This song has been heavily re-arranged live, and it's often played at almost half the speed, totally acoustic and with piano and flute galore...

And if you're asking what the lyrics are about, you just need to know that one of my favorite albums is "Commercial Album" by The Residents...
