(written in ‘march 2010’)
(recorded final version in 2014)
written for ‘sacdawg suicide’
because originally i called wrestling ‘grappling’
(like the shallcrosses)
my best lyrics to date
combined with “and i went down swinging”
(wrestling –> baseball)
(winter –> spring)
and “ann brown”
(opening track of “karate” song cycle)

*SOLO CLIPS*
FALL 2017:
(IG)
(dekalb station)
(3rd verse)
******************************************************************
fantasy:
hit home run at philips field
(but i’m still expected to do the strikeout walk of shame…)
(the old man trying to teach me a lesson in inferiority complices)
(getting hit by a pitch courtesy of gregory morganoff in a scrimmage @ ost field)
(but old man as first base coach insists i stay at the plate)
(“don’t back away”)
(the little chubby jewboy wasn’t even an intimidating pitcher!)
(i actually never hit a home run @ ost field)
(cue “roshina (may we meet again)”)
(*to montage of middle school romances*)
“goodbye valley view…”
(sung with golden boy jeffrey bassman @ valley view graduation)
(a cappella)
(although i was just getting ready to master the guitar)
(he sure wasn’t!)
(he couldn’t fucking sing either)
******************************************************************
(according to british “reviewer”:)
“there’s certainly enough raw materials on offer to create something great (the unbelievably catchy vocal at the end of “Grapplers” is enough evidence to support that), but in this form it’s perhaps not rewarding enough to endure repeated listens in an attempt to find snippets of brilliance.”
******************************************************************
(boy E to the old man:)
you’ve got your grappler, i’ve got my disease…
(the old man to boy E:)
you’ve got your stripper and i’ve got me a tease…
(*these two stanzas are reversed upon repetition of the verse*)
all matterfactual eventually learn
all hypocritical perpetually burn
you either come clean baby tonight…
’cause there’s a wildcat right out of sight
or else the wild one rides outta sight…
you gotta…
(whine whine)
all intellectual…
(whine whine)
all egotistical…
you gotta wind it down to nothin…
then we’ll all go crazy tonight…
you won’t go easily, i’ve wasted my time
you and your ego never fall into line
i don’t come easily, i leave in a flash
now don’t come near me or my radial stash
you don’t know nobody as dangerous as me
but i’m as friendly as we sly ones can be
you either come clean baby tonight…
or else the wild one rides outta sight…
you gotta
(wee wee)
turn off your television…
(wee wee)
load up on ammunition…
meet you monday morning, but we all go crazy tonight…
we all go crazy in a matter of time…
we’ve got our scripts but still we make up our lines
even the straightest line eventually turns
even the wisest one eventually learns
you and your weary one have wasted the day
i’m not so cheery but I like it that way
you either fly like an eagle tonight…
or the wild bird rides outta sight…
all reciprocal…
(repricicropal…)
NOTES:
“don’t know how heartbreaking your silence could be…”
“you don’t know nobody as dangerous as me…”
“my concrete lady…”
