RIP Shannon Hoon
Lyrics:
(On my way in!)
Oh, dirty, dusty dresser
The day looks like a Polaroid
A fantastic price tag
Slash her right in half
And take both pieces home
Like Pete
Flea Market Pete
He'll get the best a meat
On that table...
Where I just want to pull up a chair and eat
My heart is racing faster
Than a laboratory mouse
I like making something out of nothing
Crawl in right inside of it and callin' it my house!
Like Pete
Flea Market Pete
He'll get the best a meat
On that table...
Where I just wanna pull up a chair and eat
But I'm not that hungry right now
I'm a not that hungry anyhow
And if ya don't mind!
And if ya don't mind!
And if ya don't mind!
I ain't got time to eat like my friend over there, Pete...
Flea Market Pete!
He'll get the best a meat!
On that table...
Where I would like to pull up a chair
I'd like to pull up a chair
I'd like to pull up a chair
I'd like to pull up a chair
...And eat.
I believe this was recorded at Kingsway Studios in 1994. This track was part of a compilation of Shannon’s acoustic demo’s that were given to his mother, Nel Hoon, some time shortly after his passing. She eventually shared the acoustic album in it’s entirety with The Blind Melon Forum back in 2008. So we can all thank Shannon’s mother, Nel, (and The Blind Melon Forum) for gifting us with these hauntingly beautiful and rare recordings!
