about

David uses marching band drum sticks when he plays, and the impact is pretty impressive. This song is a great example of that. He lays down some crushing drum work in this depiction of the type of person we've all had to deal with at one time or another. The guitar was a Stratocaster. The Clavinet and Hammond B3 gave the tune some nice bite. - Tenk

lyrics

when you walked through the room the eyes rolled
the host must have been beholden to you
the one naive person that spoke with you
grew weary before the night was through

you bragged about the car you drive
I doubt you know what the payments are
you're a product of parents that had the means
to create a monster, they admire from afar

your fly is down

bragging about your delusional conquests
you nearly cleared the room
in the corner they quietly skewered you
because that’s what kind people do

why don’t you climb into that beautiful car
and drive into the sunset
and ponder the who and the what that you are
for the sake of those who've seen behind the curtain

your fly is down

"The two mainstays throughout are sections with an often subtle but distinct jazz flavoring applied to them, sometimes from bass and drums, on other occasions by way of the keyboards, and here and there we are treated to almost purebred jazz-oriented music too. The other red thread throughout, albeit perhaps on a slightly lesser note, are quirky, subtly atonal instrument details" Progmessor 5/2021 ... more
