Here is HaveSomeSoma's and mine's take on Temporary Blues. If anyone knows the real lyrics, please post them.

I've got the temporary blues
Can't tell me about other blues to wear
I've got on a uniform
Looking at you when I comb my hair

Watch out here it comes
Temporary blues going to bring you down

The music is too loud
Temporary blues can't hear anything at all

I've got you every night OR I've got a weapon eye
I saw you open all the time OR I saw you working all the time
I know exactly what
What you're doing all the time

Watch out here it comes
Temporary blues going to bring you down
And knock you off your feet
The music is too loud again

I've got the temporary blues
Underneath these uncle shoes
I was waiting by your side
Then you gave me a newborn child

Watch out here it comes
Temporary blues going to bring you down
I'll wait around to find
Impossible to decipher

I'm going to bring you down
???
Under the something sign

------

Help is needed.

i dont think those are right.......

Well, they're the best that anyone has come up with. Any song about uncle feet and newborn children is fine with me.

Here's a new attempt, albeit at a changed version. This attempt is based on a recording of the 11-7 show. With at least two recordings of both 11-7 and 11-8, both including this song, maybe we can pin down lyrics to "a version" of this song.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Tradin' in my tennis shoes
Now I've got steel-toed boots to wear
I've got my own uniform
For you to ??? when I comb my hair

Watch out, here it comes,
Temporary Blues gonna bring you down.
One day we'll make a change
And try to turn this mess around.

I hear you in my eye
??? and you cry
I bet you're really serious
When you ???

Watch out, here it comes,
Temporary Blues gonna bring you down.
One day we'll make a change
And try to turn this mess around.

Go home...
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go...

Watch out, here it comes,
Temporary Blues gonna bring you down.
One day we'll make a change
And try to turn this mess around.

Watch out, here it comes,
Temporary Blues gonna bring you down.
One day we'll make a change
And try to turn this mess around.

Will

traded in my tennis shoes
for steel-toe rubber boots to wear
i've got my own uniform
funny net to wear upon my hair

watch out, here they come
temporary blues are gonna bring you down
one day i'm gonna make a change
and try to turn this mess around

this song is about my nine month stay as a temporary employee
at pillsbury. i have a hard time looking back on that period. therefore...
i still have not written a second verse.

wow, thanks.

And definitely, wow, and thanks...

Now I feel weird that HSS and mine's version has been read...

Matt!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!! Who is Peanut? How are your kids? How old are they? When will the new album come out? Soon I hope... I love your band! If Parrish and Roger got into a fight, who do you think would win? Have you ever thought of growing your hair out? I think it'd look cute. Is it "summer king" or "so my king..."?Why don't you write a song about your wife? Is your Gretsch modified, or are those toaster pick-ups original? Does Rollum ever help you write lyrics? I bet he'd be good at it. Why don't you play at Exit/In soon? I loved you guys at the Inferno. Do you still talk to Seth Timbs? Why did you change the words to "Idea of Growing Old"? To where did Jurley move? Was she real? How did you get your guitar to say "The Features" on it?

Genius. Everything we've all ever wanted to know boiled down into a mildly psychotic post...yup, pretty much sums up Features fandom

Ha Ha....

I like Toaster Strudel.



Thanks!

i love this song!! always have. i was extremely surprised to hear it the other night.

If you had been at the Wall Street show, you wouldn't have had to ask that question. And it rules by the way.

Does anyone feel guilty now for frequently requesting a song that obviously reflects a sad time in Mr. Pelham's life?

is it weird that i had a dream the other night that matt joined the message board and that his name was "pee wee pelham"? i think so.

(Edited by ray davies at 10:56 am on Dec. 9, 2003)

I kinda thought of that, but they have now played it at the past two shows without anyone (that person usually being me) screaming for it. I wonder if this is a sign that the band is starting to like the song again?

Ray, my friend; it's time you got help. We overlooked your brief time on top of the post list, we turn away, lip quivering when you post at 3:45 in the morning, but this has gone to far. Dreaming of Pelham joining the board? Pee Wee Pelham? You have a serious dependency problem, and we are going to get you help. You don't have to go thru this alone.

well, It certainly isn't a good thing.

So everybody believes it's him, huh?

just a random dream. nothing more....nothing less. it more than likely has to do with the fact that sadie mentioned pee wee herman earlier in the day and also seeing the features that night.......or im just going insane.

thank you, peace frog. i may have to seek out the help of daigle for this one.

It it is him, that's nice. If not, then somebody is having a lot of fun making up stories about Pilsbury.

(Edited by Sexy Sadie at 10:48 am on Dec. 9, 2003)

It is him. Daigle sayeth so.

Listen to my loyalist follower Carligua. Pelham hath cometh as predicted in the book of Daigletology.

p.3665 "The leader of the band of four will descend upon the board to speak of flour and water. Those pure of heart shall not fear. The doubters will tremble."

So sayeth me.
