lyrics

Old Ugly House (D. Hoyer / J. Cuming)

Park at the hair salon. Don’t knock, just walk right in; broken windows, black mould, and your friends. If you see a guitar, pick it up, sit on the couch or behind the drums. This won’t last, but let’s pretend.

So what do you say when you’re passing by in the winter? That old and ugly house is uglier than you remembered. What do you say when it’s all done and gone?

Pour yourself a drink, if you can find a clean glass. Do a chin-up on the door, draw a dick on the fridge. You’re nodding off by the fire, the flame couldn’t stay awake. You’re pissing in the backyard, one last time.
So what do you say when you’re passing by in September?
That old and ugly house is uglier than you remembered.
What do you say when you’re passing by in December?
That old and ugly house is uglier than you remembered.
What do you say when you’re passing by in the winter?
“Hey, that ugly house… it’s uglier than I remembered.”

What do you say when it’s all done and gone?

Do you like GUITAR!?! If so, you will probably dig this great record. 1/3 abstract patchwork, 1/3 solid songwriting, 1/3 a sick band doing what they do Doug Hoyer
