Lately I've been letting spiders live
Each day I find a few more shits to give
Everything's connected
You're just not at the center
We all contribute to the telethon
But there's just one drunk presenter
Lately I've been nicer than my norm
We all just need to make it through the storm
When you get dejected
You must try not to forget
A friend is just a stranger
Who's got stranger since you met
So when you see a spider
Let it live!
Go sit down beside her
You're relatives!
Yesterday I did not say a word
Though no one behaved the way I preferred
I could have objected
But I chose to let it slide
You never know what's going on
In all those other people's lives
So when you see a spider
Let it live!
Go sit right down beside her
You're relatives!

It's the essence of TMJ to follow up a smart song about the need to forge new memories with a killer that grooves on everything great and awful about the 1970s. Brash, confident, and deeply pleasurable -- and its vibe is punctured by the new old b-side's warning "living backwards in time/losing your mind." As always, TMJ has it all ways, beautifully. Alan S
