“He was killed by a cellular phone explosion They scattered his ashes across the ocean The water was used to make baby lotion The wheels of promotion were set into motion
But the sun still shines in the summer time I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine I tried to change but I changed my mind Think I’ll have another glass of mexican wine.”

As much as I would like to think I could write songs, I don’t understand most songs enough to be able to. What the hell does that song mean? I’m doomed.

i cant remember if they played mexican wine when i saw them play at the bookstore. i suspect they did since it was 10 days after welcome interstate managers was released. and i vaguely remember drinking wine and listening to a song about wine at the same time. so did you end up buying the entire album or just a few off of it? after talking about it i still havent bought any.. but i think i will next week.

I bought the whole thing but the first four songs are all really good. Not sure about the rest yet.

I bought Peace & Love, Hackensack, Bright Future in Sales, Mexican Wine, & Red Dragon Tattoo. I already had Hat & Feet. Now I can’t get this out of my head:
Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont Open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant Got crazy karma, never harmed a single soul So if you want to join me then together we’ll grow old
