about

the lyrical kernel for this song came from one of anderson's scratch lyrics during an i,crime jam. he's the best impromptu lyricist i've ever had the pleasure of writing with, i might add. the stuff that guy comes up with...anyway, the atmosphere i was going for was in the realm of the Band in the first portion. the instrumental portion was an afterthought more to give the "story" some sort of closure.

lyrics

take off your clothes you're standing too close.
i smell your lavender, i smell your peppermint gum.
you see me standing here too close to let you run.

i see you're putting on airs you shouldn't wear.
i see your fashion sense, i see you letting me watch.
you know this air's too dense for us to stick around.

we should go outside, inhale that warm night air
run my hands through your hair.
we're standing much too close.

take off your clothes,
take off your pretension,
let your hair fall around
release your apprehensions.

we should go inside, out of this warm night air.
i'll wait for you there.

"The Door Opened; You Got In"
by Pewter Cub

one word: atmosphere. after hearing these songs live and digging the feel of the "demo" versions it's nice to hear it all in a cohesive package. somewhere between the raveonettes and charletons UK. wctm gold!

George Washington's Teeth
by The Oscillating Fan Club

chock full of fun rock rumpus' equal parts 13th floor elevators and ventures; weird, charming and just a bit obtuse. glad to hear the songs sound just as good recorded as they translate live. wctm gold!
