lyrics

-

He's having some kind of fit
He's rolling around on the
Pavement outside the shop

It's like he's
Being electrocuted
His eyes are wobbling
And he's making a funny noise

It's like his body is taking
Revenge on him
And people are standing around
And they're smiling

And they're
Throwing coins onto him
Like he is performing
But he's not performing
He's having a real fit.
He’s having a real fit.

(c)Shrigley

co-written with Billy Anderson, who sings the song

A most fascinating backstory: RSM requests music versions of David Shrigley lyrics. BA records a beat and sings randomly over it, using no instrument or key/pitch. RSM turns the naked melody into a unique Wilburyesque chord structure via REM-styled capo'ed acou guitars. then triples its length so it can be a real length song. Voila.
