I have nothing but questions
|
I need answers, those would fill me up
|
I know when I’m being catered to!
|
I know when I’m being catered to!
|
I will not settle for the lowest common denominator!
|
Hello my friend, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time
|
We have reason to believe that your soul is just like ours
|
Did you ever get the feeling you were just a little different?
|
Well, here’s our web page, you’ve finally found a home
|
Good people give good advice
|
Get a job, eat an apple, it’ll work itself out
|
It’s a phase (It's a phase!)
|
It’s chemistry (It's chemistry!)
|
It’s your own fault (It's your own fault!)
|
Well don’t listen to us
|
We’re just people too
|
I’ve been waiting all my life
|
I’ve been waiting for some real good porn
|
Something with meaning
|
Something fulfilling
|
I’d like to make my shame count for something
|
I feel so empty trying to explain this
|
His name is William Onyeabor, he’s from the 70s
|
And when I wake up in the morning
|
There are people sleeping on my couch
|
Well, I’ll have something to say about that one
|
Free people give free advice
|
Let go of the pain, let go of the fear
|
But if I let go of that
|
What will still be here?
|
Will I find out
|
That I am just people too?
|
Please say that one more time?
|
Um, yeah, I mean, uh, the intent was to sort of go back to these periods and,
|
and revisit them a little bit, especially with Teens of Style. |
You know,
|
with Teens of Denial it was sort of contemporaneous when I was writing it.
|
You know, and what I was experiencing at the time. |
And, uh, I guess I was just
|
out of my teenage years when I was writing things for Teens of Denial.
|
I didn’t really feel like anything had changed. |
So, um, yeah I guess, you know,
|
the two of those albums together are sort of, they’re both an exploration of
|
past feelings and how they connect to the present and what I’m doing in the
|
present tense
|
I’m sorry, you’ll have to say that again
|
The connection must be bad. |
Um, can you try one more time?
|
Ahh. |
Um, when I was starting out, I, uh, recorded vocals in my car sometimes,
|
uh, just for the sake of privacy |
