SOMETIMES
Slow but beautiful lyric....a favourite
song in the album.If everybody is being controled by a higher being, we
do things (sometimes) and it is because something else is controlling us.
Even though we don't know it.
HAIL, HAIL
Fast and energetic! Great single..About
the lucky ones. The ones in love
WHO YOU ARE
Not a very good song...can't understand
what he's saying.
IN MY TREE
A poetic approach...it is for you
to judge.
SMILE
Nice and simple...doesn't it make
you smile? thanks to denise--'the frogs'
remember the rearview mirror singles
by the frogs?
OFF HE GOES
Great acoustic...I like this song
if there's more power in it.
HABIT
Messy....About a drug habit. Some
say it may be about Mike and his short lived problem
RED MOSQUITO
Cool riffs and one of the best...here
Eddie plays the harmonica. About Eddie getting sick and, therefore, missing
some of the 1995 shows (he left in the middle of the June 24, 1995 show
at the Golden Gate Polo Fields in San Francisco, CA. because it was so
bad). He was hospitalized and couldn't sleep (food poising). He felt so
bad that it was like he was bitten by the devil and he (the devil) was
waiting for him to die.
LUKIN
Short and energetic song. Lukin
is in reference to Matt Lukin of the band Mudhonney. Eddie likes his refrigerator.
;-) The last part of the song is how a woman who follows Eddie around broke
into his house and claims that her son is Eddie's. She is a little nuts.
PRESENT TENSE
No comment. Next!
MANKIND
Stone's voice in the lead vocal...should
sing more often... great song
I'M OPEN
I reject this one.
AROUND THE
BEND
Just a mellow melancholy
