You slept in your overalls
After the wrecking ball
Bereft you of house and home
And left you with sweet fuck-all

    Original is better (faster pacing), but still -- favorite band A + song I love + by favorite band B = giddiness.

    in this ditty, the author (not God, per se, but the songwriter - shoving forcably aside queries on vatic voice) muses on the dilemma of time and no time, never enough though it lies about in piles (unless I'm lying), no heaps, several out back, more on my hands than I know what to do with. Maybe I should attempt to extract pickle sunbeams, again. No, last time what a dreadful mess. As tears, so years.

    I'm afraid this is the song on To:Elliott From:Portland I routinely skip. Although I do love the original and the Decemberists. This version is just such a dirge - the tempo is so slow uneven I keep thinking it's going to peter out - the original was 2:46 and this takes 4:25! >>|
