Spoon In Your Sink

SPOON IN YOUR SINK
Friday was black, Monday was blue
Frank never shooed the dooby-dooby-do
Climbing the ladder but the ceiling's getting taller
Are the rewards getting bigger or are our hands getting smaller?
You're the eye of my wink
I'm the spoon in your sink
Give me 'Bonjours'. So long, 'Sayonaras'
There's 'All Our Yesterdays' and precious few 'Mañanas'
Is the glass half-empty or half-full?
Dunno, duckie, I imbibe from a swimming pool
You're the bubble in my drink
I'm the spoon in your sink
Oranges for apologies
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug, chug-alug
Cup hands for sausages
Slug-a-thug, hug a slug, tug a rug
Ask Tom & Jerry, inanimate on the Somme
They'll tell yer, World peace will cost a bomb
Digging a trenchcoat, cigarette slim
Dress me in a nutshell, point and say 'That's him!'
You're the matter of my think
I'm the spoon in your sink
You're the sauce of my kink
I'm the spoon in your sink

The Go-To Guy

THE GO-TO GUY
Wanna lead the team? Really wanna score?
Wanna be on one instead of all fours?
Don't wanna grow old but don't wanna die?
Can't get it together? Get the go-to-guy!
Wanna paint the town red? Wanna draw the blinds?
Wanna find the pay to pay the fines?
Shakin' at the weigh-in looking' for a Way Out sign?
Telescopin' hope you find the go-to guy!
CHORUS:
Did you do it for a laugh
And get paid with a cry?
Call in the go-to guy.
Oh, you know X
If you wanna know Y
Q & A the go-to guy.
Wanna be in a tree happy and free
K.I.S.S.I.N.G.?
It's a magic spell, Cyclops won't believe his eye
Blink and you'll miss him. It's the go-to guy.
Wanna go up in estimation? Down in history?
A household name like… lavatory?
Want statues in your honour? Be immortalised?
Well, you know that you're gonna go to the go-to guy.
CHORUS:
Did you do it for a laugh
And get paid with a cry?
Call in the go-to guy.
Oh, you know X
If you wanna know Y
Q & A the go-to guy.
Wet behind the ears
Dry between the thighs
Rub shoulders with the go-to guy.
Wanna knot the ties
Where true love lies?
Get a bligh from the go-to guy.

Come Clean

COME CLEAN
I can shine your car
Wash my brain
Make your record clean
Give my spuds a strain
I can brush the hair
Of your night mare
Wash my hands
Of the whole affair
Hi Jean, in the laundry
You can come clean with me
I can clear my desk
Arrange a date
Dust your bust
Wipe the slate
Shred the sheets
Fill the sack
Sponge the stains
Off your dirty mac
Hi Jean, clinically
You can come clean with me
Hi Jean, biologically
You can come clean with me
I can glaze your eyes
Make the smut emerge
This dirty sud
Won't purge the urge
Drain the bubbles
Shift this stuff
I'm in a vacuum
And it sucks
Hi Jean, in the laundry
You can come clean with me
Hi Jean, clinically
You can come clean with me
Hi Jean, biologically
You can come clean with me
Hi Jean, insanitary
You can come clean with me

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

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.
