(written February 1995)
Rather large time gap here, as the only compilation stuff that
came out between the mid-80's and the mid-90's were songs on
SST compilation albums that were taken after the fact directly
from the albums. By early '95 I was wide awake again and writing
furiously.
Which is to say I was writing a lot of songs, and I
was usually furious.
This is a particularly furious one, the only one thus far
recorded that was written for the "K2" girl ("K1"
we've met on "Awakening"). K2 was taking a shower while
I hammered this thing out one morning in about ten minutes. Sort
of a Kinks meet Nirvana thing, with a strange chord progression
at verse's end that I'm particularly fond of. The Last return
to Punk Rock - finally!
Lyrically, well, the words speak for themselves. And it's
all true.
I played it for Randall (former manager), who couldn't get
past the fake Kinks riff and wrote the song off as Joe not being
able to get out of the sixties. I don't play songs for Randall
anymore.
Beware of the last verse - there are naughty words.
This and the following two were quasi-released on a demo tape
in mid-1997. However, I believe they are currently [floating
around] as MP3's, since the sad fact of not having a label should
not prevent the listener on the street from having the opportunity
to hear the stuff.
