This was one of the first songs I had to go back and change the lyrics because I got the geography fucked up! I was mimicking "Answering Machine" by the Replacements off of LET IT BE. I played this live until Ochster solidified himself as the SFP drummer. I was also trying to tell a sorrowful tale along the lines of another Replacements song, "Little Mascara" off of TIM. The open B minor would hurt my lil fingies when I played this acoustically.
This was recorded during the same session as "Agenda." I was very proud of this. Honestly? Joe Gallagher is the only other guitar player I'll play chords behind. I was glad to hear him rock out here. I remember when we released this as a 45 we got feedback that Staten Island's college station played it muchly. This is me realizing that youthful rebellion turns into simply acting like an asshole at some point.
I wrote this between the Baltimore Colts and the Baltimore Ravens. It's my first, and almost only recorded, rapping. Even so, I write a lot of raps but they come out like singing. Everything always comes out a little differently (or even a lot!) than what is intended. This is the Dennis Barth Circle 9. Joey Joe Joe playing his old GEE-tar with the Egyptian symbols, and Pork on drums. This was the 9's first time in the studio. It was the first thing I recorded that turned up an a CD.

You never know quite what to do
You shut up when I'm in the room
You lead me around by the tongue
I see it all clear as the sun
You love me when I play guitar
Then throw me away in the yard
You lead me around like a dog
So lead me around like a dog
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do
All right yeah
You lead me around like a dog
So cook me some breakfast tonight
I'll hold you if you got to puke
I'll hold you 'til you feel alright
Puke puke puke puke puke puke puke puke puke puke puke puke puke
Alright yeah
Lost on North Avenue my job took me there everyday
A different world a new country I found out today
It's like I'm a foreigner born in the u s of a
Tension so thick you can cut it I'm here anyway
Driving on back to my home where the radio's free
Crank up the Velvets and Ice Cube and vintage PE
Pop in the Replacements and drift to a van on the road
Every once in a while I just want to explode
The magic of music's a cascading ballet of junk
Stuck in the middle of metal and country and funk
Sometimes I feel lost when I'm writing I want to be Neil
Every musician I know they just want to be real
Yeah
All of these labels for music mean jack shit to me
Subconsciously divide and conquer the will to be free
I don't want no purists around me it's forrest or trees
Give me a forrest and watch me sink into the leaves
Sinkin deep
Yeah, sinkin deep
Ah-oo lord
Ah-oo lord
sinkin deep
Yeah sinkin
Sinkin deep
Here's some chips and dip
Have a nice party, son
I can see it clear as day
All smiling cakes and fun
Bring my chips and dip
To your party later on
I got some peanuts too
For your happy birthday song
Here's a dirty card
Don't show it to your mother
Here's a briefcase and a check
When's last you saw you brother?
Take my stuff on back inside
It's yours now take it light
Yeah and don't drink too much beer
When you're partying tonight
No
I come from overseas
My dad and me no way
And I didn't see him die
My plane was late that day
My old house like a wall
I ain't ever left them doors
Look how they've wrecked my yard
I left my home
What for
So I got my kid chips and dip
He turned 25 today
I took him overseas
You should really see him play
My son looked kind of sad
When I said goodbye
But I taught my boy one thing
A real man never cries
(That's wrong)
Now I don't ever look back
When I drive my truck away
And I hardly see my kids
Except on Christmas Day
So I walk on up them steps
Take my shoes off and lie down
On my stinking single bed
On the lonely side of town.
When I look in your eyes
The clouds leave the skies
My pain starts to wane
So I'll say it again
Say you love me too
It's good making love
Feels so good making love
Tell my buddies roll on
I'll catch up later on
But we all know I won't
Something I just won't do
They're all down at last call
While I'm in bed with you
Say you love me too
All of my life
I searched for what's true
Without even looking
I found it in you
I guess we both know it's right
Even though we m,ight fight
It's a timeless affair
It's like wind in the air
Because when I look in your eyes
The clouds leave the skies
My pain starts to wane
So I'll say it again
Say you love me too
