released: 1985
label: giorno poetry systems

there have been some folks talking about you on the streets. they say that you like husker du. they say that you like sonic youth. they say that you like that guy from the swans. y'know. the singer guy. what's his na- michael gira. that's the one. i knew that it would come to me eventually. is all of that true? are you a person that....likes stuff? i never took you for one of those types. i have something for you then. you can't tell anyone where you got it because then everyone will just be expecting me to have stuff for them as well. i'm just going to lay it on the ground and then i'm going to run away. why am i running away? when people see someone like me running they always expect the worst and then they start to freak out. it's the little things,y'know? you gotta treat yourself.
