Sometimes I feel like being wispy
And once in a while I feel like being dry
But we're doomed and we're drowned
By this feeling we surround
So I hope that I get old before I die
Ohhhhh
It's a long, long rope they use to hang you soon I hope
And I wonder why this hasn't happened
Why, why, why
And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt
And I hope that I get old before I die
Clear off the kitchen table darling
For on the kitchen table I must lie
I'm just tired for my wife
Served the banquet of my life
And I hope that I get old before I die
Ohhhhh
It's a long, long rope they use to hang you soon I hope
And I wonder why this hasn't happened
Why, why, why
And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt
And I hope that I get old before I die
Ohhhhh
It's a long, long rope they use to hang you soon I hope
And I wonder why this hasn't happened
Why, why, why
And I think about the dirt that I'll be wearing for a shirt
And I hope that I get old before I die
This has always been one of my favorites off the first album
ReplyDeleteI still to this day catch myself singing this song at least once a month
It's just such a brilliantly odd song
I love the line 'Clear off the kitchen table darling, for on the kitchen table I must lie'
It's so bizarre, yet it creates such a great imagery
I love lyrics that paint pictures in our minds
Plus this song is so catchy and happy
It also reminds me of Ren & Stimpy, although I'm not sure why
I enjoy when you post songs that I already know by heart
It's fun to just watch the video and sing along
I remember you and I(Chris) were hanging out with Nancy Sherrod
~and her friend (whose name I can't recall) during our Sophomore year
~ And Nancy made a tape of TMBG's first two albums and it was like a musical Christmas morning
I got my musical Big Wheel
What an amazing start to a career with those two albums
~ And then they released Flood
We were floored by the brilliance - Well played TMBG
They have many, many gems in their catalog, but this song is one of their best
Yes. It reminds me of ren and stimpy too. Because the song the lord loves a hanging is somenhow very simaler. Both songs are brilliant. Both songs bring me joy.
ReplyDeleteYes I remember that.
ReplyDeleteI just took Ziah to see them. I had to lie to get her in. The dude looked at her and said "is she 16?" I looked at her and said "Yes. Yes she is." I think I've seen them 4 times now. Maybe five. Their concerts are like big sing alongs.
