lyrics

I plucked her from the frying pan
and placed her in the file
I taught her how to hurt herself
and taught her how to smile
she signed up for the honors course
full knowing all the while
that she was just in debt to lust
and she was not the best I’d ever have

She served a purpose in my life
as something to ignore
she had the sheer audacity
to ask for something more
she made her case for happiness
I told her it’s a bore
she’d always be a fool for me
and she was not the best I’d ever have

She made no resistance
should’ve kept her distance
thanks for your devotion
but I’ve no emotion left for you

She broke her chains and vanished
and she learned the master’s game
she found a way of breaking me
by dropping the right name
and in the end I’d have to say
it’s all a crying shame
‘cos I was just in debt to lust
and I was not the best she’d ever have

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
