Andrew Bird-Trepanation

I found this song here: https://archive.org/details/abird2001... I felt like this really cool early version of Fake Palindromes should be shared. Lyrics: It's funny to me watching all these young people trying to get together I see them scanning the room for their supposed romantic ideal They're looking for those with similar markations And a glance they'll try to steal But I've noticed an alarming trend toward specialization All these subcultures going public with their plea I understand people need a reason to get together God help us all if it turns out to be elective surgery When she says: I like long walks and sci-fi movies You're six foot tall and east coast bred Some night when we're together I'll tie your wrists with leather And drill a tiny hole into your head I once knew this girl Banana curls I could not comprehend the Things she said to me Casually I'd really be offended Now I'm all too shocked Like a god damned rock And I've grown quite weary of single's ads like stripes and plaids It's no fad, she really proved my theory [Chorus] When I saw her ad, I read it twice No heavy drugs, no body lice In search of non-smoking pet-loving clean-cut guy who's nice I think you'll do just fine I think you'll suffice [Chorus] We're the trepe-na-nation single's club of america! And it won't be long until we go worldwide If you're a clean living like-minded soul Wanna meet nice people with cranial holes And touch upon the truth that lies inside Artwork by Jay Ryan.
