lyrics
Mr. Coolidge
I'll pretend to be your friend
I will smile from at my podium
when the moderator says your name
to alleviate the tedium
of the intro to the first debate
Though they don't know
what my actuary's preminitions show
I'll let it go
You can have this one today
Mr. Coolidge
I'll pretend to be your friend
I'll politely send condolences
when I hear what Harding's left to you
and attest to your courageousness
as the obligation crushes you
"Four more years!"
Look who got himself his own term
"Keep it cool!"
One you sort of had to earn
Run away
Aren't you glad that Hoover's got you?
Easy prey
Nothing left for me to do or say
Mr. Coolidge
I'm afraid your time has come
After everything we put you through
Do you think you'll leave a legacy?
Will the things that you had tried to do
measure to what Hoover's left to me?
Still, I'm glad you were alive to hear I won
I'll pretend to be your friend
I will smile from at my podium
when the moderator says your name
to alleviate the tedium
of the intro to the first debate
Though they don't know
what my actuary's preminitions show
I'll let it go
You can have this one today
Mr. Coolidge
I'll pretend to be your friend
I'll politely send condolences
when I hear what Harding's left to you
and attest to your courageousness
as the obligation crushes you
"Four more years!"
Look who got himself his own term
"Keep it cool!"
One you sort of had to earn
Run away
Aren't you glad that Hoover's got you?
Easy prey
Nothing left for me to do or say
Mr. Coolidge
I'm afraid your time has come
After everything we put you through
Do you think you'll leave a legacy?
Will the things that you had tried to do
measure to what Hoover's left to me?
Still, I'm glad you were alive to hear I won

Vile Tyrant and the Middle Men
by Naeemah MaddoxThis is probably the best rock record of the 10s, Naeemah shreds on guitar, flute, violin AND vocals and her melodies go to incredible places

The Cashmere Cassette
by Carol Cleveland SingsThomas of Carol Cleveland Sings graciously allowed me to use the first verse from his song "Blink At Surprise" in the song "Target." Fine frenetic bedroom pop, the nicest Geoff you'll ever meet.
