R. Stevie Moore - Thinking

R. Stevie Moore mimes. Song originally from 1978, this remake from 1988. Appears on http://www.rsteviemoore.com/cd/warning.html

THINKING

i do a lot of thinking
thinking 'bout the way i think
concentration's great, i think
i don't think i'm unthinkable

i do a lot of drinking
thinking 'bout the way i drink
hanging my head in the sink
i don't think i'm unsinkable

i'm deciding topics to discuss
with myself
and i find so many subjects i can't think
oh no no no no no

i don't do much conversing
cursing 'bout the way i curse
conversations with my nurse
i don't talk about my thinking

i do a lot of wondering
pondering 'bout the way plan
do you have a goal, young man?
i don't think about my thinking

situation comedy tonight
with myself
it's a situation comedy tonight
oh no no no no no

simulation tragedy tonight
with myself
it's a situation comedy tonight
oh no no no no no

one of my all-time favorites. distinctly aching. the re-make is every bit the equal of the original, with some brilliant additions to the arrangement.

come to think of it he very much is a low-fi version of harry nillson. Both lyricly more low-fi, but still rhymy and some what non sensical. but also take nilsson's sound and play it a bit worse and also, record it worse. But that's what's great about r. stevie.

Give it up for those high 'no's! Who else but Stevie!
