gift registry

Lyrics

what's all this hootenanny
all the books from the library
all the dishes we've got to clean

in this apartment that's pretty small
but just right for the two of us
which we really like because

we use what we have
and we have what we need
and we need to stay light so we can move

please see our gift registry
most of it is ethereal
not a lot of material

we use what we have
and we have what we need
and we need to stay spry so we can pounce, well there's one thing...

you'll notice we're pretty low-fi
and maybe you hear some noise
that's not an aesthetic choice

it's related to our technology
not exactly the cutting edge
more like the other edge

we use what we have
and we have what we need
but it sure would be nice to hear some high frequencies

we use what we have
and we have what we need
and we need no moss so we can roll, rock and roll...

This is really great, you two! I love all the layering, how each of you does two different octaves. It sounds different from everything else you've done and gives this tune its own special texture. Lots of good lyrics here, I'm partial to the "ethereal/materal" rhyme, "spry" and "pounce" are well-played, also. Finally, kazoos are always welcome. Excellent! Gabemcelwain 15:51, 10 June 2008 (PDT)
