Meat Puppets - Pieces of Me (2000)

Once I was something but I can't remember
Whatever that something should be
Once I was something but I can't remember
Whatever that something should

Mostly I'm scattered with castaway matter
The usual stuff that you see
Hours and hours of televised time
And occasional pieces of me

Once I was something but I can't remember
Whatever that something should be
Hours and hours of televised wind
And occasional pieces of me

I still got the hole where my heart was
And the head where my mind used to live
The rest of my body was once kidnapped by aliens
Who took most everything I had to give

[ Meat Puppets Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
There's palm trees and milky machine guns
And sunsets that melt like a gem in the sea
Hours and hours of televised wind
And occasional pieces of me

And I still got the hole where my heart was
And the head where my mind used to live
And the rest of my body was once kidnapped by aliens
Took most everything I had to give

There's palm trees and milky machine guns
And sunsets that melt like a gem in the sea
Hours and hours of televised wind
And occasional pieces of me

Once I was something but I can't remember
Whatever that something should be
Hours and hours of televised time
And occasional pieces of me

Still remember the day i bought this album.. back in 2000 i believe. Few songs stuck out on the first play through but at one time or another i fell in love with all of them. Very diverse mix of songs, some reggae sounding, some rap, some classic meatpuppets grooves, and some very touching melodies. Always thought this song was prob the all around best song on it. Push the Button and Wipeout are also top notch. Also like Endless Wave and Armed and Stupid

This album didn't sound trendy at all at the time but it was (and is) amazing despite the critics!
