about

This tune uses one of the more graphic poems of E.E. Cummings. With its overt sexual imagery and language it serves as a great insight into angry love (or war-time gunners…you pick) .

This tune is unusual for us in that I did everything (not unusual in itself, but atypical for this project). I wrote it in the studio in 2006.

lyrics

the boys i mean are not refined
they go with girls who buck and bite
they do not give a fuck for luck
they hump them thirteen times a night

one hangs a hat upon her tit
one carves a cross on her behind
they do not give a shit for wit
the boys i mean are not refined

she walks with the mark of Eve,
serpent up her sleeve,
says everything's wonderful,
everything's alright.
give and you'll receive.

they come with girls who bite and buck
who cannot read and cannot write
who laugh like they would fall apart
and masturbate with dynamite

she walks with the mark of Eve,
serpent up her sleeve,
says everything's wonderful,
everything's alright.
give and you'll receive.

what do think it means?
what could it really mean?
I don't believe anything?
too smart to buy anything?


the boys i mean are not refined
they cannot chat of that and this
they do not give a fart for art
they kill like you would take a piss

they speak whatever's on their mind
they do whatever's in their pants
the boys i mean are not refined
they shake the mountains when they dance

she walks with the mark of Eve,
serpent up her sleeve,
says everything's wonderful,
everything's alright.
give and you'll receive.
