I'm so excited I can't finish my food, I bite my lip when I think about you All my dreams are leaking into daytime, I'm trippin out when I think about you All the shit I'm lacking in my life, I forget about when I think about you I'm alright with dyin, I'm alright with dyin, I'm alright with dyin when I think about you Girl you make it easy to be satisfied All I wanna do is play with you all night Though you're not the one for me You make me temporarily happy Gnats and flies are buzzin round my eyes, I got rotten vision when I think about you Elevator stingers in the tips of my fingers, I get up too fast when I think about you There was something I been meaning to do, I just blow it off when I think about you I'm alright with dyin, I'm alright with dyin, I'm alright with dying when I think about you

If you're afraid (be afraid) If you're afraid (it's okay) It's okay to be afraid Get with the goblins Get with the goblins You're not supposed to be a god nah nah You're not supposed to be a god nah nah nah When you got no place you can hide Put your enemy on your side If you feel like you're gonna die Put the enemy on your side

Juice U 02:51
Wipe the sweat from the holy brow I'm gonna pray to the holy cow I'm gonna drink from the holy teat I'm gonna grow big big white teeth I'm gonna juice you Listen once, listen twice, I'm gonna give you some life advice Follow follow follow follow follow your thirst If you never do it'll only get worse

Someday I will die But I still got a lot I wanna try I never saw Paris, I never saw the Louvre I never thought it would ever end so soon Let me stay Oh, oh, oh Let me stay Someday I'm gonna go But I still got a lot I wanna show Have you ever looked up at the big white moon Did you ever think that it would end so soon

My uncle was a monkey He never loved nobody He spoke a monkey language He crossed an Arctic land bridge We are the very first humans High school (I never heard of that) World War (I never heard of that) Wal-Mart (I never heard of that) Heaven (I never heard of that) Do you know where we came from? Do you know where we're goin? High school, World War, Wal-Mart, Heaven

Free Dumb 02:07
I wanna be your little bitch I wanna die in a little ditch Knock the eyes right out of my head Neck stuck in the fence until I end up dead They say it's a lie (but it's not a lie) Sometimes in your life you find it but mostly you just walk behind it I wanna be where you have been I wanna ride in your mini-van I wanna see what you have seen I wanna climb in your family tree They say it's a lie (but it's not a lie) Sometimes in your life you see it but mostly you pretend to mean it Freedom of mind will be mine but not until I'm over the hill Freedom of mind will be found but not until I'm deep in the ground Freedom

about

Big Bill's debut EP. It was a magical time for us. Our first time in a studio -- it was in a house, and everything about the experience was riveting and exciting. Hearing your music played back for the first time with any fidelity is an amazing experience. Everyone should start a band just so they can make a record and experience that. Nearly 10 years later, the one we still play most regularly is Post-Coital Tristesse.

Available on cassette on Fleeting Youth Records as a split with Basketball Shorts (SOLD OUT):

about

Big Bill Austin, Texas

Influenced by the deadpan irreverence of The Monks and Talking Heads, Big Bill is known for their darkly comic, nervy take on punk rock. Though their brain-altering live show remains a huge part of their DNA, Big Bill's music has evolved across many lineup changes, stretching from the rawest, weirdest punk into shades of country, new wave and even quasi-classic rock. ... more
