I came up with uh I can't remember exactly
What are we gonna do
What are we gonna play
This song I started up this song
I started off and I was reading somewhere say that on green span uh
I played the saxophone
Remember that guy?
And I thought maybe he misunderstood you know
And I wrote that down Alan wingspan might have been misunderstood
He played the saxophone
I wrote that down and I put it in my polish strip that I write down
And I told myself someday that there's gonna be a song about Alan wingspan that can play the saxophone
And then I started working on that song doing one line
And the next and just let nick come out and sorta stream of consciousness
I guess and then we would take lines out and put new lines in
We're working on it for months
Then one day it occurred to me I was like
Hey Alan wingspan uh he isn't even in the song anymore
ย
And he's like shit hid it didn't he?
And then he revokes like what's this about then?
And we couldn't think of anything
Fuck me I know but there's I dunno there's lot of songs that I dunno what they're about
And I like em so fuck it Yunno
So I started singing
Then next a record company didn't know they still didn't went about doing anything
So we recorded it and put it out
This is true I was then when on the road and I was like
I keep saying filled up because I think it was there in umm weekly seen
There was a review of the record that we just put out and it said that
"This song was a song about a guy getting ready to rob another guy"
Right?
And I'm like alright chill so I called my buddy I said
"Hey I think I found out what our song is about"
ย
And he's like "yeah", that sounds good
That sounds good so
