for now
your time will come before
the earth rotates winter
capricorn
i feel like this licorice
and she sticks so well
oh well
but it's still early
for now
your time will come before
the flat earth december
remember
he's so hard to hear
so will i outgrow
well if he says so
without looking right through it

To place the questions above with answers, Cap'N'jazz is a band originally formed in Wheeling, IL . At the same time chris was living in wheeling , so as braid became better known its basically a shout out to a great band that bred many others in its wake. So yes they were friends and everyone is happy ever after

isn't that Cap'n Jazz lyrics :D

Yeah the *ed part is indeed Cap'n Jazz. Someone change that. It bothers me.

yea from "we are scientists!"

I am assuming that Braid used these lyrics because in the CaP'n Jazz song "Yes, I Am Talking To You", Tim Kinsella sings "I'm dying to tell you I'm dying/I don't need a reason". These lines were lifted (with due recognition) from the Friction song "Auburn" for which Bob Nanna (guitarist and vocalist for Braid) was the drummer. Make sense? I hope so. I am kind of just pulling this out of my ass, so don't quote me on it.

There's also a Cap'n Jazz lift in "Niagara" by Braid, the line "Sugar, even odd smiles are in this season." is from "Que Serte!" on CJ's only LP. I'm assuming the two bands are buddies.
So, I love the vocal deuling in this one, much more pronounced than in a lot of their other stuff. Chris is in almost as much as Bob. The payoff is really good too. I love the way the guitars finally pull together on the closing part.

"yea from "we are scientists!" "
It's also in "Puddle Splashers"

cap'n jazz rocks. and so does braid.

Bob Nanna wrote those lyrics for Cap'n Jazz. It's in the liner notes of the Cap'n Jazz CD.
