I WRITE THE B-SIDES As recorded by The Eels (From the 2001 EP ROTTEN WORLD BLUES) [Intro] [Verse 1] I write the b-sides That make a small portion of the world cry I like the seaside And singing songs that make you not wanna die Throw a stone into the sea And wait for it to come back to me Better get out on the boat ’Cause someone told me that stones don’t float [Interlude] [Verse 2] I like to sit out back And look up at the squirrels in the trees They don’t like radio tracks And they don’t ever talk down to me Throw a nut up in the tree Gonna fall right back on me Well these guys know who they are And what they need’s in their own backyard Hoo hoo [Interlude] [Verse 3] I like to play in the snow I stick my hand in now where did it go? It might be mighty cold But that’s all part of not doing what you’re told [Outro]
