Diminishing Returns Lyrics

Cover art for Diminishing Returns lyrics by Harvey Danger

they lyrics seem a little wrong, and i thought they had them on the official site, but i guess not. perhaps they were with my download, but i deleted everything but a few songs, and this was one.

anyway, i think he says "the king of the swingin' moods" and "surround him as he/pounds a silver hammer" also "the boom's a bustout" like in the stockmarket. the rest looks right to me.

as for meaning, i actually look at this from a romantic relationship standpoint. perhaps because the first time i heard it, i was introduced to it by my ex, with whom i hoped to get back together.

i felt like he had all these grand ideas, about life and his own future, but i knew that we were good for eachother. or at least good enough, thus wanting to meet him at the point of diminishing returns. lol

i think these lyrics are genius.
