"Me and the Skirts"

I try so hard to get to you
But it never really seems to matter what I do
Stand on my head bend over backwards too
Some times I talk until my face turns blue

Oh what a pity
Oh what a shame
Me and the skirts always turn out the same
A little bit angry
A little bit tame
Me and the skirts always turned out the same

What were you thinking when you saw the light?
Were you surprised to find the world outside?
I felt so sorry for your little head
Was it depressing to display (something that rhymes with head)

Oh what a pity
Oh what a shame
Me and the skirts always turn out the same
A little bit angry
A little bit tame
Me and the skirts always turned out the same

Oh what a pity
Oh what a shame
Me and the skirts always turn out the same
A little bit angry
A little bit tame
Me and the skirts always end up the same

I'm 98% sure this is all correct, it's based on what was sang at the Attic in Chattanooga on 10.18.02. I recorded the show, but the quality is very bad, so I'm going to re-do it when they come to knoxville next Thursday. I'll try to get a recording up if someone hasn't already by then.

Thanks a gajillion! Now I can sing along with authority on Nov. 16th!

the best part about this song is that rollum is singing too, and he's great. i laughed at him a lot tonight: he's always making faces, and doing amusingthings while he is taking breaks. besides, his grandma was there tonight. how cute is that?! she stayed the whole time too!

After further listening, I realized that the last line in the second verse goes,

"Was it depressing to just lay in bed?"

Now I'm 99.9% sure about this one.

Much thanks Bowl of Fire... you have made a dream come true

You're very welcome...

I like chocolate chip cookies...

Well if you make the trek to M'boro in November, I promise you will have some delicious chocolate chip cookies...

Anyone have any idea what this songs about? It confuses me.

It's about ladies. Beautiful, elusive ladies.

I relate to it in an ironic way...

Why? Do you have twin girls you can't get through to?
