DiskothiQ - Rob/How I Spent My Summer Vacation (1994) [Wabana/Ore Limited, ORE 01, 7'']
|
What Does This 7" Sound Like?
|
There are two DiskothiQ songs on this 7", and they don't appear anywhere else.
"Rob" is a sweet song about former DiskothiQ member Rob Garlt. The "neighbor's car" thing wasn't as bad as it sounds, more of a he-left-the-keys-in situation. Anyway, it's a nice one.
"How I Spent My Summer Vacation" is as DiskothiQ as it gets. "you say the shame has made you sick / me, well, I just feel like a dick". Who among us...

A1. Rob
well by you know us as a power trio
but such wasn't always the case
there was a day when we were more than three
well there was a man who we could not replace
rob
he used to play guitar
and rob
he stole my neighbor's car
and i know we sound a lot better
and i know we're far better off
and maybe it sounds kinda stupid
but i
i miss rob
winners and losers, it's hard to distinguish
depends how you define your terms
for history chemistry p.e. or english
we've all got our own fucked-up lessons to learn
rob
he sure could drink a lot
and rob
he smoked a lot of pot
and i know we sound a lot better
and god knows we're far better off
and i know it don't make no difference
but i
i miss rob
B1. How I Spent My Summer Vacation
surprise surprise surprise
oh what's this now before my eyes
a more unlikely sight i could not have conceived of
you here at my mercy suddenly
i'm judge and jury
i'd gladly acquit you if only i could find the time 'cause
well the scars look good on me
and regret looks good on you
i think the stars are all agreed
there's little else that we can do
how was i to know
i deemed it unworthy of hope
to think that you could ever
want to see my sorry ass again
and how conveniently i use
your righteous stubbornness to prove
you cannot be too cruel
as long as you are right
right
you say the shame has made you sick
me, well, i just feel like a dick
the girl beside me on the spot
can't hold her head up
it makes no sense to worry now
these things have ways of working out
someday i'll come back home
til then keep this in mind
this time the stars are all agreed
i think it's time we start anew
