They Might Be Giants - Ana Ng (Live)

Make a hole with a gun perpendicular
To the name of this town in a desk-top globe
Exit wound in a foreign nation
Showing the home of the one this was written for
My apartment looks upside down from there
Water spirals the wrong way out the sink
And her voice is a backwards record
It's like a whirlpool and it never ends

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

All alone at the '64 World's Fair
Eighty dolls yelling "Small girl after all"
Who was at the Dupont Pavilion?
Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there?
Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire
To the horn on the pole at the bus depot
And in the back of the edge of hearing
These are the words the voice was repeating:

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge:
"I don't want the world, I just want your half"

They don't need me here, and I know you're there (don't need me)
Where the world goes by like the humid air (world goes by)
And it sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks until it goes away (it goes home)
And the truth is, we don't know anything (don't know)

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

Thanks Jeff. I'll have to check out 'Wall of Voodoo'. I think EP's are weird. They are hard to find and it's confusing when you try to put a band's discography together. However, I agree that EP's tend to have as it turns out, Cabbagetown is in fact a real place. "a quite dilapidated part of inner-city Atlanta, and yet the description of dogs and porches is actually completely accurate as Cabbagetown is one of the few remaining parts of that city that is a throw back to its more rural vibe."

I love this fuckin song, man. It's the first song I learned on guitar that I could play and sing at the same time. Good cover. I agree with the comment from the other video about your covers having the same kind of energy as the original demos. Great work.

In my post, I meant "...full size LP" of course, not "full size EP." D'oh. This pre-dates even the CD era. I think bands who were too new to attract a label's interest in releasing a full LP might've been able to get them to cut an EP as a compromise...?? Not sure. In any event, they tended to be slightly less "mainstream" that the subsequent debut LPs. Ah, no cabbage growing in Cabbagetown, then.
