Angry Little Paul Heads

 


Angry Little Paul Heads

 This song makes reference to the ex-boyfriend who appears in the song on August 26th ("He Cleaned Out My Insides With Bleach"). One day, I got really stoned and was playing my guitar, making up a bunch of songs. Suddenly, I looked at my keyboard and the little speaker on it looked like it had an angry little head on it - an angry little head that looked like my ex-boyfriend's angry little head. It was an angry little Paul head. 

I started seeing angry little Paul heads everywhere - in the texture of the carpet, in the microphone I was usin' - angry little Paul heads were everywhere. I wasn't hallucinatin' or anything like that, though - it's more like my mind was seizing upon the features of the objects around me and constructing angry little Paul heads out of them.

The lyrics are:

One day I got baked and I saw something that surprised my eyeballs
And I did a double take – what the fuck? Is that my dumb ex boyfriend, Paul?

One day I got baked and I did see
Angry ex-boy friend heads around me
My eyes were making things look weird
I thought, “should I get some beer?”

Angry little Paul heads are in front of me

Why did my eyeballs make Paul-heads
Out of the various objects
Inside of the room around me?
Oh, my, this was quite astounding

Angry little Paul heads are in front of me

That was really strong weed that gave me an ex boyfriend head in front of me
I did not really need his face right there, heck, no, I do not want to see it
What is he doing there in my subconscious?
Now I am aware there is no fondness
For the memory of this ex boyfriend
Now it's clear and I see he was a dead end

Angry little Paul heads are in front of me
