Liner Notes

Had to whisper again because of a houseguest, but it kind of fit the mellow groove.

Lyrics

He didn't know his own strength until he kicked a rock
and knocked the moon right out of its orbit

He pulled the arms right off his opponents in the tug-of-war

He sneezed and caused a hurricane that destroyed the entire state

He punched a punching bag and sent it shooting through the air, where it tore a hole in the sun

He played jump rope and cracked the Earth in two

He blew out his birthday candles
and sent them flying over into China
where they thought they were under nuclear attack
so they started WWWIII

What a lovely, mellow, trippy and delightfully strange folk song! I love the image-dense lyrics and the delivery of them, and that's a wonderful alt-tuned guitar sound.

Which big, clumsy child could be meant by this text? Who has no idea what his behavior is causing!
Poetically implemented, very beautiful guitar playing (as always) and this quiet whisper and the double vocals make the whole thing mysterious!

even with the lyirc sheet as a guide, i got lost a few times. but asa strictly sound adventure, i kind of liked it that way. the lyrics still stand, and read along with the music, even if not in congruency with then, they are both humorous and frightening. there are people who do not understand their own ower and destroying the world is well within their reach.
