This song was written musically as a way for judah to pass the time during his school guitar class one day but didn't get lyrics until a month or so later. Rick and Judah were exiting the local music store after having just blown a wad of cash on some cd's when Judah grabbed his chest and shouted "Ergh! Instant Buyers Remorse." The clerk at the counter didn't get it but Rick did and his neurotic little mind instantly got the idea that this lovely little perfect sounding soft song that didn't yet have lyrics would be a fine base from which to create a song based upon Judahs sudden proclamation. The Judester, not to be outdone, had already come up with the lyrics by the time they got to the car. Upon arriving at the house the duo rushed for their instruments and after listening to the pixies album they had just purchased three or four times they got down to perfecting the song. Unfortuanetly no more lyrics after the first four verses could be thought of and the band opted to go play mario kart and deal with this particular problem at a later date.
Shortly thereafter it was discovered that Ricks computer had limited recording capabilities and, The Instant Remorse Song being the only one they could remember at the time they decided to record it for posterity sans lead guitar. As a direct result of the band having learned of the recording capabilites within ten minutes of the first recording, they didn't yet know how to make the recordings more than a minute long. The song didn't have enough lyrics to warrant more than a minute anyway so this wasn't too bitter a pill to swallow. The song was recorded and sent off to the Lagophiles who happened to be online at the time and the response was overwhelming.
She said that she liked it.
Much buoyed by such an enthusiatic response the band rushed to record more and again forgot to add the rest of the lyrics. To this day the song ends lyrically after the shortest of short intervals and dissolves into one of the few jams that features rick on lead guitar. One may suppose that eventually the song will have more lyrics but between you and me, I doubt it'll even keep the ones it has.
