WATER DUCK BACK
Come on, you finger-waggers, you naggers and you slaggers
Water duck back, water duck back
Ridicule me, you giggling gaggers, dress me head to foot in daggers
Water duck back, water duck back
In the human race, you’re a non-starter
Get up, get out, get happy, get Carter
When you shut up the world gets 10% smarter
All you phoney moany groaners, you stickers and you stoners
Water duck back, water duck back
All your heads are solid boners; a drone of brain donors
Water duck back, water duck back
I tell a joke and I’m accused of stealing it off Jim
Get your facts straight, dimwit, I’m the one who told him!
Bottle clinkers, IQ shrinkers, single out joined-up thinkers,
Water duck back, water duck back
Dressed up in your blinkers, do I give a tinker’s?
Water duck back, water duck back
You’ll find when you find something to place belief in
There’s an army of boots racing to kick your teeth in
Water duck back, water duck back

Hello, can I help you?

HELLO, CAN I HELP YOU?
Hello, can I help you?
What do you want me to say
About my friend who died today?
Conversation becomes a monologue...
Hello?
You’re not going to see me
Wailing poor poetry
With a tear-stained guitar strumming
And if you want me to do
A breakdown in public view
You’ve got another think coming
Hello, can I help you?
You know how it is
And if you don’t, you will
Tiptoe through this emotional minefield
Grief is that hole love falls down
When it has nowhere to go
Hello?
It’s not a good time
Is it ever a good time?
But there will be good times again
Hello

Gener's Gone: The Final Demo Recordings of Gene Ween (2009-2011)
by Aaron Freeman
This is a low-level slow-burning marvel of almost nonchalant brilliance. Often, one finds beneath all the FX and gloss there's no song at all. Aaron Freeman has an ocean of depth beneath the surface.

Hijack!
by Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders
The sixth album by the Australian indie stalwarts pairs Ladder's velvety baritone with upbeat—yet faintly haunting—art pop arrangements.

Geneva Freeport
by Absolutely Free
This EP (which features Meg Remy of U.S. Girls) is punchy dance-punk that operates at a low, insistent simmer.
