From TOB's Denmark EP. Tab by Dan Marx. December 12th 2000. E-mail aktiondan*yahoo.com If you can figure out some of the lyrics, please e-mail them my way. This is my favorite TOB song to date. Especially after I painstakingly tried to figure out what the song was actually saying. The lyrics are so moving. I just imagine this crazy madly in love guy hanging from some water tank with a can of spray paint in one hand, devoting his dying love for this girl who doesn't want him. This is also another one of Oed's great songs. I find myself particularly prone to liking his songs more and more. Wonder why?
