Kissing the Pink “Maybe This Day”
One bit in this song drives me crazy. The lyrics “Over the garden wall, she said: let’s go to the party.” Just sayin’, “... let’s go to bed” was right there. Pocket ace. Can’t go wrong. Too forward? “let’s get some bread.” Happy now? It rhymes, I heard you like rhymes. My rhyming schematical is drizzatical, practical, tactical; your rhymes are flat, gnat, shat. [FX: burnt] Bonus w/“bed”: when you’re humming along you can start singing The Cure right afterward. We’re all winners here. Except for you and your sub-optimal rhymes. Devastating callback. I am sorry. [FX: hug]

There’s a bit on the “Last Lion of Albion” episode of Song Exploder in which the Farfisa is mostly isolated and somehow I mentally stitched that part into the track itself. “Be the something you wish to something! Make an inept remix!” [FX: throws note on top of mountain of paper; fire]
