100% thought those were the lyrics.

I just realised in RVM he's saying "enmity gauged" not "empty gaze"

Just listening to Spenno's 'Black Market Avocado' and came across this doozy:

"Make myself a pact, not to shut those underpants just for today... I am free"

Y'know, I bet those were Mike's original lyrics before Ed modified them.


Mike's make more sense, and are clearly more honest.

I listened to Lightning Bolt today.

From "Infallible":
"Put your faith in big hens."
"All good things come to a hen."
"Somehow it is the biggest things that keep on slipping right through our hens."

From "Let the Records Play":
"The hen, the hen!"

(though on further thought this sounds more like he's saying "the hen, clucking!")
