Put me back ride

about

This is a re-mix / re-do of a song from my album "Natural Disasters" (2008).
The original song was written after it was recorded.
I got Jesse, Fred and myself to drum for 6 minutes over the same tempo with nothing but a click track. I then took all those drum tracks and edited it to form the foundation of what would become "Piggy:Back:Ride".
Then, years later, I took those drum tracks and created a new song. This one, actually.

lyrics

you like the trance with the vox
a little chicken pox
when toys stay in the box but I don't
you like the Band for the Weight
distance on a date
waking up at 8 but I don't
you like a polka dot tie
that's heavy on the rye
Bender more than Fry but I don't
you like the Mondays for the blues
breakfast with your booze
the Leafs because they lose but I don't
you like to drive the middle lane
piercings for the pain
rainbows for the rain but I don't
you like a show about a crime
showing up on time
mimicking the mimes but I don't
you like to count the sporty cars
shoot the boring stars
hop around the bars but I don't
you like to say, 'I told you so'
suck back all the blow
count the falling snow but I don't
you like to travel in the spring
wearing diamond rings
piss on everything but I don't
you like to fake it with a smile
skip the second aisle
turn up every dial but I don't
you like to boss around the crew
tell them where to poo
make them look at you but I don't
you like to pass a lot of gas
insist on wearing masks
slap a little ass but I don't

I know you don't like it like I do (repeat)
