This lass
Some fifteen odd years
Is widely known
To have spat
In her teacher's lap
And will not take it back
And now I see
How after all their crap
She rightly came to that
Some fifteen odd years
Is widely known
To have spat
In her teacher's lap
And now I see
How after all their crap
She rightly came to that

[ This sets the stage for Phantom Limb. We have a young school girl who unapologetically rebels against the system which has mistreated her. ]
The lyrics as they appear in the CD booklet:
This lass, Of some 15-odd years, Is widely known To have spat In her teacher's lap. But now I see, How after all their crap, She rightly came to that.
This isn't really a song... it's an intro to Phantom Limb. I kinda like it.
I like it it's very bizzare and more in tune with Chutes Too Narrow. Country rock? I definitely heard surf-rock when I first played it.
I think this song is awesome...just to short. For fun, earlier today I taught myself to play it in an acoustic folky, more traditional shins type style...and it is awesome. The chord progression is simple yet original...and the vocal melody, in typical shin's fashion, is great.
Falling down the rabbit hole, perhaps.
For now I see, How after all the crap, She rightly came to that.
This lass, some fifteen odd years, is widely known to have spat in her teacher's lap (and will not take it back)

is this song about THE pam berry? (black tambourine, glo-worm)
anyone know? black tambourine is one my favorite bands of all time...
Just saw The Shins in San Diego a couple of weeks ago, and James sang this lyric live:
"...is widely known to have spat in her teachers GLASS" (which actually makes more sense than spitting in the teacher's lap).
And oh yeah, the show was GREAT.
ElvisAteMyDonuts is right about the lyrics except that it's "after all THEIR crap." At least, that's what the liner notes say.
