Beck - Sissyneck

For themesong, a music meme. See here for details. The theme for today is (and here’s the calendar of themes) what the hell is this song about?

I love Beck. Love him with all my heart. Every album. Even the ones you hate. But sometimes I’m singing a Beck song and I’m all “Beck, what in the FUCK are you going on about here?” but that thought passes quickly and I sing they lyrics as if I know what they mean because even when he writes stuff that sounds like he took a dozen spam emails, put them in a blender and made lyric soup out of them, Beck always makes it sound good. 

File this one also under: good mood songs.

If I said to you
That I was looking for a place to get to
‘Cause my neck is broken
And my pants ain’t getting no bigger

I got a stolen wife
And a rhinestone life
And some good ol’ boys
I’m writing my will
On a three dollar bill
In the evening time

All my friends
Tell me something is getting together
I got a beard that would disappear
If I’m dressed in leather
Now let me tell you about my baby
She was born in Arizona
Sitting in the jailhouse
Trying to learn some good manners
