about

This song was written in either late 1987 or early 1988 and first appeared on the first of two 1988 double-album cassette releases by The Bud Collins Trio, "Kongsoontorncharden". I don't recall spending much time on it, so I believe it came together very quickly, as did many things during this very creative and prolific period. The intro dialogue is from the original 1960s Star Trek series episode featuring the space probe 'Nomad'.

lyrics

I don't like looking at my past mistakes I can't stand to see the mess it makes why should I suffer if I can do without I'll just take out my bottle and white it all out sure you can see it if you hold the page to light but put it on the desk and it looks alright the old parentheses and line just don't do it for me I'd rather erase it entirely well yeah sometimes it gets out of hand I should just crumple the page and start all over again I start thinking about it then I look at my watch dip in that brush and wipe out that splotch so what if it gets a little heavy so what if the page cracks and breaks who cares if it's hard to write on just a little dab is all it takes all it takes you say if I used pencil I wouldn't have to worry well when pencil smudges it looks pretty sorry you know I'm getting pretty tired of arguing with you so you'd better get lost or I'll white you out too
