He is the boss of me
He gives me hugs and sugar lumps
When my heart's gone bitter
He is the boss of me
He makes me coffee and
I write him a letter like I'm a poet or an ancestor
He is the boss of me
He tells me where to go, so I go, I just go
He's never done me wrong but he never wants to sing my songs
Cause he is my walrus and I am his blubber, his lover

He is the boss of me
We walk until we hit the shore
Then we walk more, he walks more than me
He is the boss of me
My left foot walks to the rhythm of his
We march like we are children in an army club
He is the boss of me
He gives me a sensual touch and marks a trail of human blood he calls angel dust
The pearl in his hand is the jewel that will make me a man
Cause he is my walrus and I am his blubber, his lover
The pearl in his hand is the jewel that will make me a man
Cause he is my walrus and I am his blubber, his lover

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
