So it's settled. Isaac Brock is the greatest lyricist of all time

I'm glad we all agree on this matter.

And it's true we named our children after towns that we'd never been to
And it's true that the clouds just hung around like black Cadillacs outside a funeral
And we were done done done with all the fuck fuck fucking around
You were so true to yourself, you were true to no one else
Well I should put you in the ground
I've got the time
I've got the hours
I've got the days
I've got the weeks
I could say for myself I got the words but I can't speak
Well I was done done done with all the circ circ circlin' 'round

I didn't die and I ain't complaining, I ain't blaming you
I didn't know that the words you said to me meant more to me than they ever could you
I didn't lie and I ain't saying I told the whole truth
I didn't know that this game we were playing even had a set of rules

We named our children after towns that we'd never been to
And it's true that the clouds just hung around like black Cadillacs outside a funeral
And we were laughing at the stars while our feet clung tight to the ground
So pleased with ourselves for using so many verbs and nouns
But we were all still just dumb dumb dumber than the dirt dirt dirt on the ground
Well, wings on flames, kings with no names
Well this place just ain't got right air right now
You were so all over town but still so Crayola brown
Well you should run around yourself right now
And we were done done done with all the fuck fuck fucking around
Circlin' 'round

4. By the way, the other night I was watching American Beauty

and I may have "gotten" the song "So Much Beauty in Dirt."

I can't explain it, it's something you have to see the film and think about.

5. I'm ashamed to say I have not seen the movie

which is odd, because 1999 is one of my favorite film years (Green Mile, Cider House Rules, Sixth Sense, Blair Witch Project).

But I do have that EP, and I think it is just as surreal and hypnotic as The Moon and Antarctica. Not as epic, but they were doubtlessly having a creative explosion around the turn of the millennium.
