so i retreat i concede i absconed i suscede i fall away from this world i give up completely my little plant shine in the sun my little plant shine in the sun shine in the sun catapillar creeps cross the dewey leaf golden ridges swan up the upper bows i wouldn't feel so alone on my internal streets but i know that you're really gone my little plant shine in the sun my little plant shine in the sun shine in the sun i turn the corner my internal streets i see he's riding she once asked you how can anyone know anybody i wouldn't feel so alone i know that you're fully grown

i know it's me i know it's me i know it's me i know it's me i know that the upper edge of your mind is the sun and the sky i know the edge of you i know that the upper edge of your mind is the sun and the sky i know the edge of you i felt so damn bad love drips and gathers in the sand now my eyes have seen just what my hands have done and where the protesters bodies were laying the grass has turned to hay i know it's mean i know it's mean i know that the upper edge of your mind is the sun and the sky i know the edge of you floating so high i felt so damn bad love drips and gathers in the sand but now my eyes have seen just what my hands have done i know it's mean she was almost happy but i broke her heart it's the same story for so many so cruel

about

in san antonio texas erik sanden (the unables, the mechanical walking robot, buttercup, demitasse) started a dial-a-song. people called from all over the world just to hear a new song every week by calling 210-pet-able. erik started out alone, but soon enlisted the help of his friends to write and record a new song every week on a cassette 4 track which he would then mix onto an answering machine cassette tape. the songs were all done in one session with borrowed and improvised equipment like trash cans with tambourines on top of them, and without the aid of computers.
these are the songs which i (wilton) helped erik to make for dial-a-song during a span of two or three months. i mostly played drums, bass and did harmony vocals, but i did occasionally write parts and sing lead vocals.

-note that each of the 9 songs costs one dollar and the album whole album costs 8 dollars. this makes buying the whole album cheaper.
