lyrics

I wouldn't want to wear the shoes
you wore the day I lit your fuse
and turned your reasons to remains
I wouldn't want to wear the shirt
you wore as you discovered hurt
how could I bear to see the stains

my sickly smiles won't save the day
blood on the tiles will never wash away

you didn't make it very far
the day you crashed your mother's car
I drove six blocks to take you home
I parked the car and walked inside
and fell asleep with you beside
but woke up terribly alone

and this apartment's far too small
I cannot find a place to hide
I could've sworn I saw your ghost
but they tell me you haven't died

and so I find you in this place
reflecting on a life's mistakes
because there's nothing else to do
this has to be some kind of test
'cos when I look at all the rest
I see they're not at all like you

GET RUDE!
by Dan O'Connell & The Cast Of 1,000s

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records

Songs From Your Face
by Jeffy

Jeffy makes four-trackin' fun. Each cassette he sells has a one-of-a-kind collage for art. Rubberstamp Records
