I wrote a song with RandomKoolzip and SouthoftheBorderPaul.
Cadigan of Shame:

Liberal arts student in the corner
wears his cardigan like an anchor of shame.
He dresses sharply.
He knows just what to say to you.
He knows the way to play the game.

He dances slowly on the sofa wearing nothing.
He bleeds a tiny little spot upon the floor.
He doesn't seem to notice all the people
and how they look at him.
He doesn't care.
It's not Harvard anymore.

The days at Prep School passed in the blink of an eye.
He wonders how the sofa looks so dead
and so alone.
He stares at it and thinks a while.
The books he's read don't talk to him.
They don't even know his name.

He walks on the baseboard of the apartment.
He looks at the wndow and slowly cocks his head.
The people, they all laugh and smile and jest
and they run in flashing circles around his eyes.
He hates them.
Why won't they leave him alone?
HE'S WEARING THE CARDIGAN OF SHAME!!!

1. I like those lyrics.
I don't like making comparisons, since art should be judged on it's own merits, if at all, but.....

They remind me of Gang of Four lyrics. And I'm going through a GOF phase right now. So I'm diggin' them.

5. Yes, the keyboard part....
was genius. I mean, it brought this whacked-out, Ricky Martin-on-meth, choadrageousness to the mix. Plus, I played it...I rest my case.

Hey XNASA, I've heard lots of great things about GoF but have heard very little of their music. What album should I start out with?
