about

Recorded live on Radioactive Lunch, hosted by Adam Roufberg on WVKR

lyrics

Pictures from my salad days oppress me now in
countless ways.
Every day supremely bored, intoxication was its own
reward.
And the styles! Turquoise ruffled shirts, tuxedo style,
with cuffs undone, And bolo ties for everyone
as we sang “na na na na na.”
Salad days in dressing drowned, all dumbed down by
dunderheaded clowns.
Tripping face and Nashville tuned, synchronizing
sundials to the moon.
Oh, the drugs! So content to be a certain kind
Of friend indeed: The crucial one who brought the
weed,
and they sang “na na na na na.”
If you really cared, You’d grow out your hair
at least as long as I grew mine.
Ten black turtlenecks In my kitchenette,
drying over my chairs all night. Would you fight your
drummer
Just to get him to wear one until he walks out the
door,
saying that he can’t take no more of Beatles songs
and being poor?
Salad days in summer haze gave way to falls in
browns and greys,
and folding shirts for a fuck named “Fred,”
Cursing my nose every time it bled, which was a lot!
And even though nostalgia has become my stock
and trade,
I don’t rehash the plans I laid.
I just sing “na na na na na.”
