Watermelon In Easter Hay

Lyrics

Central scrutinizer:
This is the central scrutinizer…joe has just worked himself into an imaginary frenzy during the fade- out of his imaginary song…he begins to feel depressed now. he knows the end is near. he has realized at last that imaginary guitar notes and imaginary vocals exist only in the imagination of the imaginer…and… ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway…so…so… excuse me…so…who gives a fuck anyway? so he goes back to his ugly little room and quietly dreams his last imaginary guitar solo…

(after the song ends)
This is the central scrutinizer…as you can see, music can get you pretty fucked up…take a tip from joe, do like he did, hock your imaginary guitar and get a good job…joe did, and he’s a happy guy now, on the day shift at the utility muffin research kitchen, arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully-charged icing anointment utensil. and every time a nice little muffin comes by on the belt, he poots forth…

And if this doesn’t convince you that music causes big trouble…then maybe i should turn off my plastic megaphone and sing the last song on the album in my regular voice…

    to me this is one of the top greatest songs of all time, and Frank's best song. Thank you, Frankie!

    I love this song so much. When they played it in Y tu mamá también, it was a great moment.

    I've been listening to Frank's music for over 45 years. Got me through some hard times and all-nighters and long road trips. No one else is so versatile and satisfying. Truly talent on loan from the cosmic intelligence masquerading as Great Nature or DNAlien. As they say 'awesome!'

    Watermelon in Easter Hay is the tastiest thing ever recorded, no irony here. Everytime i see Pictures of Franky's last days before he died, this song comes to mind and im almost about to cry!
