Daniel Johnston - I save cigarette butts.

"I Save Cigarette Butts" begins with a great line ("I save cigarette butts for a poor girl across town") and then details the story of Daniel losing his girl to a guy that took her to a wrestling match while Johnston's Rocket 88 barrels through. After distracting the listener with mentions of Frankenstein and a dream where angels spill beer on Jesus, it turns out that the "wrestling match" isn't exactly Greco-Roman.

Songs of Pain is the first album by Daniel Johnston, recorded on a simple tape recorder and released on Compact Cassette. Johnston recorded these songs in the basement of his parents' house in West Virginia.It was recorded in 1980 and 1981, and handed out to friends by Johnston. It was rereleased on cassette by Stress Records in 1988, and on Compact Disc in 2003 by the label Dual Tone, together with More Songs of Pain as Early Recordings Volume 1.
