Big thanks to Geir for guitar. And when I wasn't happy with my own vocals, Geir did those for me too.

Ted: Bass, drum arrangement, keyboard arrangement
Geir: Guitars, vocals

Ted's analog stuff recorded on Micro BR.
Digital stuff in Garage Band
Geir's analog stuff recorded on whatever it is that Geir uses.
A celebration is in order. Let's go out and get some cheap red wine.
Congratulations: You finally found the courage to release your inner Philistine.

You wore your nails down, scratching and picking at the foil around the bottle stop.
Did it surprise you how easily it opened once you figured out the screw top?

Go get a manicure. Get a pedicure while you're at it. You can put it on your credit card.
Don't you feel better now? With those polymer extensions you can scratch and pick real real  real real hard.

You're cutting tin and breaking skin. You're a raptor with a TV remote.
You're watching shows, like normal Joes -- not an outsider reading Camus on a bloody sail boat.

Don't you feel better now?

[Repeat first verse]

Turn the ignition on the car you always wanted with the payments and mirror luck charm.
Your intuition was never keen enough to tell a handshake from a twist of the arm.

But did it work out like the astrologer said it would, was it in your astrological chart?
You threw the jerk out, with all of his pretentions, his bicycles and his African art.

Don't you feel better now?
Don't you now?

A celebration is in order. Let's go out and get the cheapest red wine we can find.
Congratulations: You finally summoned up the courage to release your inner Philistine.

You wore your nails down, scratching and picking at the foil around the bottle stop.
Did it surprise you how easily it opened once you figured out the screw top?

Don't you feel better now.

Thats some damn good lyrics, the whole song is a marvel, it soars and struts.  Hell of a hard song to sing, so many great words to spit out.  Well, I feel so good from listening to this, Ted and Geir, thats some combo.  Thats a song.
