about

This is how I like a session to happen: I ran into Dave Boquist one night at the Turf Club, and we talked about the studio, how we "ought to get together sometime and record some songs." Dave said, "What're you doing tomorrow?" I said, "Nothing." He said, "Well, it's Good Friday, we should do it then." I said, "Okay, sounds good!" And we did four songs that day, just the two of us. One of them was this song...THAT version was released on "Inspiral Notebooks," my solo album..THIS version is one that I totally forgot about!

lyrics

BIG MOUTH

You planted a seed
If you water it, it shall grow
But don’t drown that seed
Keep an eye out for the healthy glow
Now I see you’re a-gardening
Hope your garden’s not vandalized
‘Coz you’ve heard about karma
And it’s got so many disguises

One night a bat
Crept in through a crack
Commenced to flying about
In circles throughout the house
Was it trying to get out?
You tried to catch it in a cardboard box
It bit your poor little shoulder
Now you’re frothing at the mouth

Remember the time
That we ran out of gas on the freeway
We were talking so much
Didn’t notice that we were running out
So young and in love
And we promised we’d always be friends
But that didn’t work out
Well, I guess that depends
Upon who you talk to
But nobody cares enough to talk to you
The way that I used to
How could she ever forgive me?

You got such a big mouth
And such beautiful scaly skin
And I’m not talking about fishing
And I’m not talking about gardening
