It's crazy how much I'm looking forward to Matt Mays & El Torpedo's new album this week, and it's ridonculous how much I love that new tune, "Tall Trees". I've been trying to figure the lyrics, and pretty much have it all figgered out, save for a couple or few words. After listening and listening today, I decided to try searching again (there was previously nothin' out there for it). While searching today, I came up with this gem: (play the song in the post below while you read for full effect)

You're on a leek, Gonna sing you a song
Two hundred years in the ground
Tall trees hangin' over the road
Feels like... they're starin' me doooowwwwn
It's in the way that they sway
It's the feeling I git
They just don't want me around
Tall trees hangin' over the road
Feels like... they're starin' me doooowwwwn
Who's gonna love you when I'm gone?
Sittin' leaves to the wind
I'll give her to you in a while
And find... Somebody new in the Spring
When the sun melts snow
And the water runs down
A little lol river flow
And I laid with your tissy
In the grass tonight
And watch him, gro... gro... GROW OH OH OH
Sleep in the weight thing... smilin' bin
Gimme a ride downtown
Tall trees hangin' over the road
Feels like... they're starin' me doooowwwwn
Tall trees hangin' over the road
Feels like... they're starin' me doooowwwwn
Tall trees hangin' over the road
Feels like... they're starin' me doooowwwwn
They're starin' me doooowwwwn
They're starin' me DOOOOOOWWWWWWWN
(Amazing guitar solo)
OW OH OH UH OH OH (Repeat)

Ow OH OH UH OH OH that hurts! That's too funny. Did they edit this at all? Did they look over it to see if it made any sense? Sure, some of it's right, but the wrong stuff is terrible... terribly awesome!

As a side note, I ordered the CD from his site a couple or few days ago... 12.99 plus GST. Not bad. Plus, there's supposedly a "really good chance" I'll get a signed copy. I'd damned well better! It's the main reason I ordered through him (that, and band support). After shipping, it came to over $19, whereas Future Shop has it on sale tomorrow for $9.99. I hope it actually arrives tomorrow or in the next few days, too. I'll keep ya posted.

MM has a new disc? Christ on a cracker, I'm out of the loop lately! I'll be picking it up for sure because I love me some Matt Mays! He is the Canadian Tom Petty.

I heard through my Island posse that you had made your way over to their (MMET's) website. :)

Although I didn't preorder, I'm looking forward to getting their CD!
