This song makes me kind of sad and I don't know why. When I listen to it, I feel like an old DM fan from the nineties remembering listening to it as a teenager, even though I;m only just a teenager now. It's hard to explain!
********A sad song about dreams of a lost love. And it's about cat puke. I really do love The Dead Milkmen.******** I had a dream you came back to my house You changed your mind I had a dream you came back to my house To spend some time You said you'd only stay a week You brought two cats for me to keep And told me not to feed them tuna or they'd throw up I fed them tuna and they threw up For hours and hours and hours and hours I was amazed at all the stuff That came from those little bodies of theirs It was puffy like a sponge The color of the sidewalk And it smelled like the dirty rags beneath the sink I had a dream you came back to my house And robbed me blind You took my stereo, CD's, and tapes and books You left nothing behind I woke up and you were next to me But I knew it was just a dream I woke up again, you were a thousand miles away
Aww...played this for my girls the other day. They were cracking up at the lyrics. I'm like, "yeah it's hilarious but don't discredit my youth man...errrrrr daughters, you!"
dude it's like being back in the earliest parts of the ninties. fucking amazing. makes one think of old times. good times. innocent times of childhood. i can still remember... walking up those stairs, the thick smell of hair dye and cheap booze, the sonic blast of guitars and the galloping thump of the drums. the friends and punk show buddies i just couldnt wait to see again and time again. i thought it would never end.
I had a dream you came back to my house You changed your mind I had a dream you came back to my house To spend some time You said you'd only stay a week You brought two cats for me to keep And told me not to feed them tuna or they'd throw up I fed them tuna and they threw up For hours and hours and hours and hours I was amazed at all the stuff That came from those little bodies of theirs It was puffy like a sponge The color of the sidewalk And it smelled like the dirty rags beneath the sink I had a dream you came back to my house And robbed me blind You took my stereo, CD's, and tapes and books You left nothing behind I woke up and you were next to me But I knew it was just a dream I woke up again, you were a thousand miles away
The first and last verse are the core of this song and stand alone very well. All the stuff in the middle is just filler about cat puke. Man I love the middle part!
I had a dream you came back to my house You changed your mind I had a dream you came back to my house To spend some time I woke up and you were next to me But I knew it was just a dream I woke up again, you were a thousand miles away.
Ween's Cameo in "It's Pat". watch it they have "how its gonna be" its like a double whammy of good. ween + the dead milkmen in the same scene = awesome.
etchkid I have the, if I had a gun ep casingle almost, but I never got a hard copy of whole album :(. but it had silly dreams. and since I've heard it, it had been one of my favorite songs .
You took my stereo, CDs, and tapes and books-you left nothing behind!(this is perfect metaphor for the feeling you get, when someone you love, truly screws you over).
