She awakes with a frown Netgirl is feeling down So she takes a walk downtown Round and around this crazy old town Round and around this crazy old town Round and around this crazy old Still the yucky feelings lurk as she stumbles into work She made it just in time Netgirl works at the five and dime Netgirl works at the five and dime Netgirl works at the five and dime Living in the shadow of Netboy No happiness, no joy Living in the shadow of Netboy No happiness, no joy Living in the shadow of Netboy No happiness, no doy As she mops the floor and stocks the shelf Netgirl peers deep inside of herself She doesn't like what she knows as far as herself goes. How can she go on in this day to day cycle of NOTHINGNESS Her brother is a hero throughout the land, Getting those greyhound races banned Living in the shadow of Netboy No happiness, no joy Living in the shadow of Netboy No happiness, no joy Living in the shadow of Netboy No happiness, no doy |
I was working at Willy St. Coop when I made this up. I believe it was the 2nd of 3 "Netboy" songs that we play, the others being "Old Crap" and "Netboy." All have to do with stopping greyhound racing, which was just getting going in Wisconsin at that time. Unfortunately, the practice still goes on, often with government giveaways to unprofitable tracks. Here it is at iTunes from our first cd Royal Jelly. Over the course of Your Mom, Your Mom SRO and The Coma Savants the song has taken on different sounds. Always a crowd favorite! The recorded version features a wah peddle on one of the organ tracks. Great headphone music.
