about

This song was written in 1988 and first appeared on The Bud Collins Trio "Watching Channel Zero" album. There have been many different versions and mixes of this song but this is the closest it has ever come to sounding how I always thought it should. The totally meaningless lyrics were written by simply joining words that sounded good together.

lyrics

the verbose recipient and the debonair probe the elastic xylophone and the conjugal wheeze the tenuous legacy and the quiescent frontier the succulent grimace and the mottled boutoneire you know when that lawn patrol comes 'round you'd better have your grass cut down I don't wanna know what happens if they catch you and when that psychedelic snowblower goes by don't you look it in the eyes there's nothing it can do that could help you you just don't know the ominous toboggan and the haughty refreshments the nimble anachronism and the impudent yodel the somber pomegranate and the gabardine lobster the clammy vestibule and the belligerent sandwich you know when I look into your eyes I see emptiness and waste I see the blank look on your face when I tell you you know we're playing by my rules I don't have to tell you what they are I can even change 'em on the way if I want to there's no point to miss
