"Met her when I was a drum cadet.
Sold her the skins off my second set- yes!"
"Asshole- royal blue velvet rope.
Castles? We never had any of those."
"I was in a three piece band, but there were no strings;
only winds, and skins, torn flags.
The burnt, burnt match- we light the burnt match.
We light the burnt match, and stick a flag on it."
Does anyone else think it's awesome that this song is about the painting "The Spirit of '76" by Archibald Willard (three-piece band, no strings, only winds and skins) and is called "Circa 1762"?
