From ANDRAS JONES: Making a record requires a team of folks. The sound part has always been in my wheelhouse more than the visual aspect of record making. I’m just not really a visual person so I asked Peter Jesperson if he knew someone who could oversee this part of the project. When he suggested GREG ALLEN of Omnivore Records I was thrilled. I love Omnivore so I knew Greg would be great and he was. This session finds him contemplating his mortality and his legacy, particularly the future of his prized automobile, a 1967 Volvo 123 GT.
Spin The Bottle
She likes playin’ spin the bottle
with her groovy crew
He has mistresses in towns from
Jacksonville to Kalamazoo
and when they meet
in bed or on the street
they always take a break
to say,
“How do you do?”
Because she believes in full disclosure
Everything’s allowed
While he requires privacy and
doesn’t take much comfort from
the crowd she keeps
so when they part
is when their lives burst into art
His inside his room
and hers out at the orgy on the dune
Well if you were a happy couple
do you think you’d know it?
Think of all the happy couples
that you know
who blow it
by stayin’ together
She’s got issues
He’s got fears
She’s got tissues
He’s got beers
and after one too many
years another year goes by…
but when they talk about themselves
to the emotional children and intellectual elves who
seem to be the norm
they congratulate themselves
that they did not conform
Well, if you were a happy couple
Just…
think of all the happy couples
who stay together…
She likes playing spin the bottle
