on "30 Degrees Everywhere" Jade Tree Records 1996
lyrics:
I was sad enough last Saturday, I woke you to talk but you didn't have much to say. You came to to two cherry cokes, came to to coke. In the morning, when the wind is still warm, and the rivers still coming and following. The Astor hotel is black in the windows, black in the hall. Since we left separately. A country letter, straight from a widow: come in the nighttime, to the back porch, throw rocks at my window, and climb the terrace to the landing. This house built cleverly for you and me. (you sound like young love)

I'm this guys friend, but basically.... Man Overboard is my favorite band. These guys... wonderful song. Great job, just fucking fantastic. But Man Overboard did a great cover on it. And if you don't agree its fair, but come on, it couldn't of been that bad. >_>12 years ago

@gomer1021 Although I must admit I've driven myself crazy trying to figure out any Promise Ring song, and most Cap'n Jazz songs....I believe that he's being literal when he says 'came to to two cherry cokes"....however in a later song on this album, he mentions outgrowing a shirt from to many sodas...so who the fuck knows. I'm convinced this whole albums based on sex, love, and pot. That's just me though....12 years ago

To each their own, but this is one of my favorite albums and no other band can cover the songs in it without sounding like complete ass to me.12 years ago

lol @ people talking about the Man Overboard version. It's a joke. This kind of song isn't meant to be covered. Part of the appeal is the rawness. Not to mention, the Man Overboard lacks the quintessential sound necessary for this genre of music. Also, Man Overboard is joke. Promise Ring? Fucking pioneersRelated Videos
