't Kan verkeren

Kijk, toen End Times uitkwam was ik er niet goed van en kribbelde ik dit neer:

I need a mother is just about the most painful song E's come up with until now. Hearing it for the first time - on my bike to work - I really got angry with him. Things like that should remain unspoken. :-(
"I have to laugh when I think how far it’s gone, but things aren’t funny anymore."

Ok, ik denk dat het niet goed gaat met E. Want het is niet funny.

Maar zie nu! En luister! What fun! Nooit zo veel zin in dansen gehad ...

Nooit zo hard met een Eels plaat gelachen. Want al het (humoristisch) negatieve wordt compleet uitgebalanceerd. Meer zelfs: bij wijlen gaat E- geheel hilarisch - helemaal compleet over the top. Yup.

Baby Loves me	What I have to offer
Record company hates me	What I have to offer
the doctor says I'm sick	well, there's a lot
The bad girls think I'm just too nice	Now I'm a modest man
And the nice girls call me dick	but look at all I got
Policeman flashes the red lights	For all the wear and tear
Coach says that I'm weak	I look OK
Teacher says I'm not too bright	I got good manners
Bodybuilder calls me pipsqueak	and I make good good pay
The neighbors don't like my flowers	What I have to offer
The waiter don't like my tip	well, there's so much
The librarian shushes me	I care and need your really
Travel agent canceled my trip	tender touch
Minister says I'm a demon	I got a pleasin' disposition
Dietitian says I'm a pig	And I don't care about
Warmhearted say I'm freezing	football or fishin'
Promoter won't give me the gig
My tired body is breaking down	What I have to offer
The world is ending soon	well, check it out
It's all crumbling at my feet,	I've learned some things
not sure what to do	and I know what it's about
	I'm quite discerning and
	I’m pretty smart
	It takes an awful lot to
	win my heart

When Mark Everett is sad, he makes me happy. When Mark is happy, so am I!
