Name: the whole thing
Duration: P00H02M00S
Description: this was somewhat inspired by a creepy semi-regular customer at the deli years ago. he'd left a heinously misspelled note of affection for a hugely uninterested waitress. she passed it around and one of the cooks teased, "tip you? hell, he wants to give you the whole thing!", and we all had a laugh. ta-dah! a song title.

this was somewhat inspired by a creepy semi-regular customer at the deli years ago. he'd left a heinously misspelled note of affection for a hugely uninterested waitress. she passed it around and one of the cooks teased, "tip you? hell, he wants to give you the whole thing!", and we all had a laugh. ta-dah! a song title.

lyrics

he knows what needs to be said
but it's all stuck in his head
he'd yell it border to border
but she only wants to take his order

oh, she don't know what she does to him.
oh, she's just waiting for that second wind.
but when she comes back and he gives her the tip
he says,"you deserve the whole thing".
and he thinks...ain't that clever, now?

late at night he's on his wife
but thinking 'bout that waitress.
he rolls and sighs, she rolls her eyes,
they lie stone still on the mattress.

he's in for lunch next tuesday
but he's in a state of dismay
his latest love has left disgraced.
but this new girl's got a real cute face.

oh, she don't know what she does to him.
oh, she's just waiting for that second wind.
but when she comes back and he gives her the tip
he says,"you deserve the whole thing".
and he thinks...ain't that clever, now?

"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!
