I guess before Jed left he wrote some poems
He didn't write 'em for anyone in particular
I suppose I can show you guys one
Okay, here it goes

You said I'd wake up dead drunk, alone in the park
I called you a liar
But how right you were

Air-conditioned TV land, twenty grand, walk to the bank
With shakes from the night before
Staring at the tiki floor

Mitch
High school wedding ring, keys are under the mats
Of all of the houses here
But not the motels

I try to sing it funny like Beck, but it's bringing me down
Lower than ground
Beautiful ground

Beautiful ground

Beautiful ground

Beautiful ground

Beautiful ground, yeah

Test tones and
Failed clones and
Odd parts made you

    Very cool song. In case you haven't seen it yet, some guy made a killer music video for it on his Apple ][. You can watch it here: live.watchmactv.com/

    this is the most weird and beautiful song/poem i have ever heard, and its fantastic. Just looking at the lyrics, they're not that great but the music and atmosphere of the song (and the whole album) is brilliant also 'broken household appliance/national forest' is awesome too

    This is a very pretty song - very sad - and done almost perfectly - has to be one of my all time favorites. the rest of the album had some other good songs but not a patch on this. Is it about failure and diissapointment?

    A followup to "Jed the humanoid". A robot that gets drunk and dies. The lyrics between the two songs connect pretty well anyway. You can form whatever impressions you want about what this song is supposed to represent beyond the literal meaning.

    This song is brilliant! I love the bass line paired with the synth. I love the verse "high school wedding ring........." This whole album is the best album to come along in awhile.

    quntomytemple - i don't believe jason was making fun of beck? he says 'try to sging it funny LIKE beck'. seems to me that's the way he's trying to sing and because he can't it's slowly bringing him down.. In many interviews grandaddy have made reference to beck and how great he is anyway so i'm positive there's no negativity intended.

    This, stray dog and the chocolate shake, and the warming sun are Grandaddy's best!
