about
Clint:
GEO was the first tune for a proposed EP called "The Fullerenes Transportate Their Transportation", though this was the only song we ever finished. It's also the only song that Ryan and I actually sat down and wrote together, which was easy to do because we were making fun of Bob's car.
For the synths on this tune, I had to sneak around MSU's Computer Music Lab (where I worked) and record on the downlow, because my boss was very suspicious I was using their Kurzweil PC88 for something other than practicing. (I actually recorded the parts into Windows Sound Recorder while listening to the backing tracks on a CDR.)
lyrics
i wish she'd say
she likes my car
she's gonna know
it sucks by far
little GEO
won't get me rollin to the bar
won't go past fifty
and won't get very far
my little GEO
i got it wholesale from my folks
i raced a soapbox and got smoked
be nice and please keep your little
comments to yourself
i wish i'd bought
with a little more thought
i was thinkin it was pure gold
but i can see now that it's not
little GEO don't represent
in the express lane or in the snow
roll em up shut it down
write it up sell it off
GEO's gotta go
50 on the freeway
40 in the city
15 quarts of castrol monthly
you know that that's shittacious
engine goblins gnawin holes in my GEO (in my GEO)
pull up get out
i'm parked by the road
she sees my car
trimmed in turquoise and gold
bondo at each seam
the upholstery smells of mold
she says its nifty
and now that car is sold
her little GEO
her little GEO
her little GEO
her little GEO
her little GEO
for there first album they kick fucking ass with it the only song i have to complain about is be born besides that everything in this album is gold even released just a friend with it shunterfunny
