Twist and Doubt (spoken version # 2))

Sometimes you just wanna turn your diddley bow around and bang on it, y'now? Video here.

recorded live at the Pink Cow, Shibuya, Tokyo, on November 12, 2010

TWIST AND DOUBT

i been double spaced and indented
more than halfway circumvented
put on trial and sent away
on charges patently false
like a bad dream in panorama
i had to listen to sweet home alabama
the night they were playing that
beautiful tennessee waltz

come on, come on, come on, come on,
come on, baby now...
twist and doubt

my daddy sent me out in the pouring rain
with a half a book of matches and some cellophane
he said someday son you'll thank me for being so mean
since that day i've relied on my luck
and look at me now i got a big dump truck
i'm gonna drive it up to west virginia full of jelly beans

come on, come on, come on, come on,
come on, baby now...
twist and doubt

i thought it was time for me to make amends
so i invited all my friends
for a little get together
to celebrate my success
but it seems the party was a total loss
nobody liked the twinkies with the dipping sauce
and they all spilled wine on my x-ray gingham dress

come on, come on, come on, come on,
come on, baby now...
twist and doubt

See, that just confirms to me that you need an effing whamola. GET ONE! I'm not sure which version of this song I liked more; and I feel like a bad person for not catching the Beefheart reference the first few times.
