The Dance of the Little Tin Gods

Liner Notes

#groovy

The lyrics don't make much sense, but sometimes I like it that way.

Lyrics

A broken taillight at midnight (it's outta sight)
a stop sign standing upright (it's red and white)
a tree flying a kite (it's rising high)
a left making a right (it's not right)

The little tin god (it's groovy)
the land of nod (it's sleepy)
the stubbed toe (it hurts)
the hot cup of joe (it burns)

You had a hunch (Quasimodo)
that you had to mulch (right before lunch)
you had to crunch (crunch crunch)
it all up (mulch mulch)

Thumbprint in the eye (ouch)
footprint in the sky (my oh my)
a foolish wiseguy (cosa nostra guy)
a ghoulish sci-fi movie (1950s B movie)

That syncopated guitar is great. This definitely makes me want to move. I love the lyric, of course. It makes as much sense as it should, I think. I don't know why, but 'crunch crunch' made me laugh. The whole soundscape is delicious. How can I play chaos guitar?

I think the lyrics are brilliant. The way it's sung almost makes it sound like it was painful to sing - very true/human sound - love it.

I couldn't resist that "groovy" tag. And this is, indeed, very groovy. The way the vocal lines wash in and out like the tide is very soothing but the glitchy guitar stops things getting too soporific. Lyrics are fun and the Quasimodo line is outstanding.

Something therapeutic about the nonsense - lol! Must be the beat! Lifts me up without needing to make sense of the words.
