I feel like an idiot but has anyone else by chance not noticed the artwork for all of the new singles...
Entitlement Crew b/w A Snake in The Shower (sunrise)
Eureka b/w Esther (high noon)
The Stove & The Toaster b/w Star 18 (dusk)
I would expect the same theme on further releases/hopefully something close to an album
I hadn't thought of that! If it's a pattern there, we could be up to a killer midnight double in a few months.
Clicks And Hisses have the complete lyrics up (they posted it about five minutes after my attempt on
18 Stars). I hope they don't mind I paste them in here as well.
18 STARS
I know we made plans to meet in Spokane
But the way I make plans you gotta take it with a grain of salt.
Got jammed in Alabama and I was trying to get all of it resolved.
I'm sure it seems like it's a perfect fit.
But trust me man 'cause I've been up in it.
And at dawn I had to crawl back home through the quicksilver sprawl.
To tell the truth if I were you
I'd rather sleep over than telecommute.
'Cause when you're in the same room
I think we make a much better connection.
Hemingway at Cafe Select.
Donna Summer in the discotheque.
Once you get good you can get it wherever you are.
Sloppy city in the upper deck.
Tripping hard on the self neglect.
Now let me hold the money.
'Cause he wants you to wait in the car.
Sorry I'm late I got caught in a mosh.
With this dude who said he used to play with Peter Tosh.
But he never brought it up again.
Once I said man I don't believe you.
I looked over this great expanse
And I saw some kid pissing on his parachute pants
In one split second I figured out that he was one of your crew.
The amphetamines did what the amphetamines do.
And she was chewing through her cheek at the National Zoo
And the dress she was wearing
Made a nice case for natural selection.
So Hold Steady at the Comfort Inn.
Mick Jagger's at the Mandarin.
One you get good you can get it wherever you are.
Notify the next of kin.
Mariel Hemingway with perfect skin.
And some creep with a camera who says he's gonna make her a star.
You gotta wait in the car.
Once upon a time I had a meeting with a man in a mansion.
He pulled a few strings just to demonstrate how it's all connected.
Disseminating from a central source.
Hemingway on the Ketchum porch.
Once you get good you can get it wherever you are.
So hit me back when it's back in style.
Star 18 on the rotary dial
Now let me hold the money
'Cause he wants you to wait in the car.
You gotta wait in the car.
THE STOVE & THE TOASTER
Let's just say they owe me a favor.
I did something for them.
What it is doesn't matter
Here's what's important.
It's gonna be easy
It's gonna be simple
Put it up to his temple
He's expecting our call.
Yeah they know our intentions.
They approve of our methods.
They consider us partners
Going in through the window
Leave through the terrace.
They still owe me a favor
What it is doesn't matter.
'Cause they've got earpiece dudes in a fortified fortress.
And a wholesale crew that does a pretty big business.
And I got something we can do in Las Cruces.
Got some new information from the chef and the chauffeur.
They put the stash in the stove. They keep the cash in the toaster.
Down in Las Cruces they don't play with jokers.
I hope I still know you when this is all over.
Take a flight to Durango
Take a car to La Quinta
Chevrolet Silverado
Sort of south of the entrance.
Drive it down to Las Cruces
Do the thing that we're doing
Push ahead to El Paso
Stay as long as we have to.
She's got a line on some guys that are kind of insiders.
Said she worked with the cook. Said she slept with the driver.
They know we're coming but they'll still act surprised.
Yeah they'll still act surprised.
'Cause there's just one way in and its a fortified fortress.
There's a way that it works. It's a particular process.
And I got something we can do in Las Cruces.
Got some new information from the chef and the chauffeur.
They put the stash in the stove. They keep the cash in the toaster.
Down in Las Cruces they don't play with jokers.
Split it three ways with the chef and the chauffeur.
Yeah, I've known those guys for a bit.
And it's sounding like they're pretty much over it.
We came in the kitchen and I knew it was over.
Didn't see any stove. No sign of a toaster.
Set up for the slaughter and shot in the shoulder.
Got pretty screwed by the chef and the chauffeur.
