What song was that? (: I know it reminds me of something, but I can’t think of what it is.

As far as I know it was just “springsong” off the old website. That’s the only other version I have. The only place he says that is the Wiki*, and I just had to look through the history to double check it - I still have a hard time believing Tom would refer to one of his own songs as nonsensical, (he actually didn’t) but he left it in his edit of the line.
The original downloaded as “springsong” but the link was labeled “Springsong”.




And DON’T ask me for it.


Lyrics (possibly):

Who’s your mother’s secret lover
sitting hiding undercover?
To play with Roman candles
hold on tight to my love handles
Maybe it’s my killer instinct
maybe it’s not me whose
jizz stinks (?)
Going underwater
underrated Jewish quarter
Flowers blooming
Clocks are zooming
Through the air
Piano tuning
Running, jumping
Mumble something nondescript
and who comes running
I’ll play a CD player
someday they’ll make you the mayor
who’s in charge of this whole farce
nazi hell is camouflage

Kicking, screaming
Nearly midnight
Things are clearer under moonlight

All the cats are having dogfights
Slowly losing all their eyesight

We’ll escape this shit somehow
Get your clothes we’re leaving now

Enchilada, handshake, plough
get your love, you have a row

Flowers blooming
Clocks are zooming
Through the air
Piano tuning
Running, jumping
Mumble something nondescript
and who comes running

I’lI thank you later
Heaven is an escalator
Everything is gonna change

Everything is gonna change


*Edit: I later noticed it’s on the bandcamp info too.
