This song is about my sleep-dream life and dream-like real life as relates to this band. There are real-life vignettes and real sleep-dream vignettes here, the latter of which are the musical picnic with and phone call from Thurston Moore. - Hannah
The free noise section is a one-take session with various additional materials played by Luke along with drums, detuned guitar noise and bass noise filtered through synth and distortion pedals and played with the bottom of a bottle. We've never printed the words for this song before this Band Camp release, nor has this song been available for download. Thank you for listening.
lyrics
It was a night like any other: we rolled away across an ocean of sheets, away from the lamp and the damp and England's chilly shores. I landed on a hill, in the dark, wet grass against my ankle, and he was there: rubber face and ginger hair. And I was talking to the King of the Cool. There was a picnic, and a night sky, and he sang to me: Share my basket and I'll tell you where my lucky star is / Share my basket and I'll tell you you're my lucky star. And so on the radio, they asked us, is it a development deal? Well, I don't really think we're people that can be developed. But thanks for asking. Sometimes you pick up the phone, and a voice on the other end says, hey, this is Richard, I'm in London. Maybe we can go for a snack after the reading. So we watched the band from Oklahoma pack up their light show and their flashpots and hit the road. We're going to England soon, they said, adjusting their overalls. And so we braced ourselves and waited for the news of a Brett-Smiley pile-up on the M4. (Sometimes you pick up the phone and a voice on the other end says, Hannah? This is Thurston. We're going to Indonesia, and you guys can come, if you want. But you'll have to get your own asses over there.)
