This song I came up with uh I can't remember exactly
What was I gonna do?
Wait, what was I gonna play?
Oh now I remember
This song I started off this song
I started off and I was reading somewhere said Alan Greenspan
Had played the saxophone, remember that guy?
And I thought maybe he was misunderstood you know
And I wrote that down Alan Greenspan might have been misunderstood
He played the saxophone
I wrote that down and I put it in my pile of shit that I write down
And I told myself someday there was gonna be a song about how Alan Greenspan could play the saxophone
And then I started working on that song doing onе line
And the next linе and just letting it come out, sorta stream of consciousness, I guess
And then we would take lines out and put new lines in
We were working on it for months
Then one day it occurred to me I was like
Hey Alan Greenspan uh he isn't even in the song anymore
And he was like shit he isn't, is he?
And then he, we were both like, so what's this about then?
You know, and we couldn't think of anything
Fuck, we don't know but there's, I dunno
There's lots of songs I don't know what they're about
And I like em so fuck it, you know
So I started singing this
The record company didn't notice that it wasn't about anything
So we recorded it and put it out
This is true I was then I went on the road and I was
I keep saying Philadelphia because I think it was there
In the Weekly Scene
There was a review of the record that we had just put out and it said that
This song was a song about a guy getting ready to rob another guy
Right?
And I'm like alright shit so I called my buddy I said
"Hey I think I found out what our song's about"
And he was like "yeah", that sounds good
That sounds good so
