CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH!!!!!

"YEAH!!!!!"

Run the lip off sunshine shore
Betray white water
Delay dark forms
Slap young waves on wooden bones
Don't touch the laughter and away we go

Away we go

CLAP YOUR HANDS!
But I feel so lonely
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
But it won't do nothing
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
But I have no money
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
Are you up to something?
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
Where's my milk and honey?
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
But I just look funny
CLAP YOUR HANDS!
I'll just wait awhile

As time alone stands still for some
Stuffed sailor up with eyeball sun
And if by castle ship should stray
It has like you no chosen fate for
It's tongue-tied caboose that leads
This ragged lad, this finger-flipping
Mom and dad (for what is worth some
Aimless steer?) And should mouth
Confuse my foggy mirror and reveal
What is not there I shall take this
Unbound train away...

-This is the first track off of Clap Your Hands... self-titled album, and it's probably the best song on there, although it does have a very different vibe than the others. I like this song a lot, and I like this band a lot. THey have some pretty cool things to say -the lyrics are fairly abstract, but good- and for some reason every time I get drunk I want to hear this album. It's just THAT good.
If a band can get to that Point; well, it's a good thing. That drunken impulse stems from something very real and very strong inside of me... it's sort of like a reverse lie-detector, showing my real musical lusts when I get some liquor inside me. There's also a simple kind of melodic hook that is present in all of their songs -I would call it an 'aura' or simply, their 'sound'- that just keeps me coming back, constantly singing the wobbly lyrics: in my sleep, in my car, when I'm working out. Scratch that, i haven't worked out in a while... probably since I discovered this band.

SO at that, I'm gonna go find a REAL job with REAL MONEY!!! Yeah.... back to the grinder. Later hombres.
