Hobbit on the Rocks Lyrics
Hobbit on the rocks
There's an old Virginian vibraphone
With a calculated gait
And a man who thinks he's Al Capone
With a cumber bund and cape
Don't criticize what a vicar would prize in you
And talk to the man if you feel he needs talking to
And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
And the fish upon the docks are dying
There's an orchestra in rococo
And an insulated dwarf
And the ships are sinking in the sea
As they sail from the shores
Don't criticize what a vicar would prize in you
And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
And the fish upon the docks are dying
And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
For the grunion in the sand entwining
Don't criticize what a vicar would prize in you
And talk to yourself if you feel you need talking to
There's an old Virginian vibraphone
With a calculated gait
And a man who thinks he's Al Capone
With a cumber bund and cape
And talk to the man if you feel he needs talking to
And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
And the fish upon the docks are dying
And an insulated dwarf
And the ships are sinking in the sea
As they sail from the shores
And the fish upon the docks are dying
And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
For the grunion in the sand entwining
And talk to yourself if you feel you need talking to

I read that this was a "mailing list" song on the Toad site before they changed it. What does that mean?
I don't know purejoys, but this is my least favorite Toady song.
Toad used to send out tapes of unreleased tracks to the folks on their mailing list, each tape contained 2 unreleased songs and this appeared on their 1992 tape. it was recorded during the "Fear" sessions and Glen Phillips, their lead singer said "it's a nonsense, gibberish song written in five minutes" it gave them an excuse to have fun in the studio and play around with an XTC styled arrangement
i love the line "and talk to yourself if you feel you need talking to". I would defnlee include this song as one of my favorite Toad songs though.
Possibly the most fun song in the entire world.
