about

Taken from a session recorded by Geoff Streadwick at 40 oz Sound, Winter 1995 that resulted in five songs. These songs were planned for release on a second 7" but mostly went unreleased.

lyrics

I walked up and down like a magnet
That street was the goddamn polar pull
No help for a jinx I couldn't shake
Shades pulled, no money for a milkshake
Early in the evening
Of 24 hours of bad luck
Broken off engagements
And wondering to wake you up
I thought I saw this sort of crown
Of white light bulbs around her head
When she was watching the t.v.
I wasn't sure if it was real
Or if I was hallucinating because I needed sleep
Deep steps click special effects
Four in the morning and no destination
Yeah!
Nearing the conclusion of 24 hours of bad luck
Pumpkin pie forever
Keep the mistakes, I am crushed
Turn off the tape recorder
I don't wanna talk about it
Anyone can listen to themselves cry
I spoke in a low and quiet tone
"There is something you should know."
