Downloads

Every once in a while, I put a new track into the small player down below there. If you like it, you can download it and do whatever you want with it. Play it on a podcast, burn a bunch of copies, send it to your Grandma - whatever. Just don't try to SELL it to your Grandma. That's all I ask. You can scroll down and read the lyrics if you like.

Breaking Up With George

I actually recorded this a long time ago - I rented a beer-soaked 4 track and FX box for a month. I came up with an album I called Snip...I called it Snip because most of the songs on it were under 30 seconds long. George is still one of my favorites.

Lyrics - Breaking Up With George

Pt. 1
So, I went down to the hardware store the other day and I saw - you wouldn't believe who I saw!
I saw George! Good old George.
I hadn't seen him for...well, a good 15 years as I calculated. But I could be wrong, I dunno.
But anyway, I said, "Hey George! Remember how we used to stick firecrackers up seagull's bums and blow them up?"
And he said, "My name is Harry. Please get away from me, sir."
Oops. I thought it was George.
So, I was down at the hardware store again and I saw this girl named Sally. But I wasn't sure if it was Sally because of the mistake I'd made with George, so I just went up to her and I said, "Do I know you?" And she was real insulted, you know, cause I know Sally really well! And she said, "Of course - it's me!"
I can't win.

Pt. 2

Hello. My name is George. And I just had the worst day of my entire life.
First of all, I was in the hardware store and this idiot I used to know from high school came up to me and started rambling on about how...well anyway, it's something I'd like to forget.
And...so I told him my name was Harry and told him to get away from me - and my girlfriend heard this and she came over to me and she said, "See, George. This is why. You're so dishonest." That's what she said - you're so dishonest. and I said, "This is why what?" And she said, "George - I have something to tell you."

Pt. 3

George - I've got something to tell you
George - I've got something to tell you
I'm breaking up with you - I'm sorry, baby
But I have to break up with you

George - I've got something to tell you
Wait , George - I've got something to tell you
When the family came over for dinner last weekend I slept with your half-brother. I'm sorry.
Hey - put down that knife. We're gonna talk like normal rational adults!
That's better.

That's my George...that's my George.
