Big Head
(Meaux)
Mandolin, accordian and ambiant slide encapsulate the history of the band and bring the record to a beautiful, soft landing.
You came to town in your overalls
it was cute at first and you had
a ball
but it was all on you
you made a racket tried to wake
the dead
the second coming of pre-sliced bread
and you believed it too
Hey big head
now what ya gonna do
hey big head
ain't nobody after you
Take no account of the things you done
drove all your friends off one by one
when they were there for you
you're on a stage but you're dying there
you sing your heart out but noone cares
they don't care about you
Hey big head
now what ya gonna do
hey big head
ain't nobody after you
You mowed the grass and you drilled for oil
but a working man's just invisible
and that don't work for you
ain't made nothing yet you spent it all
you need a ladder just to take a fall
not just sad it's true
Hey big head
now what ya gonna do
hey big head
ain't nobody after you
You hurt the ones that you loved the most
now you walk around like you've seen
a ghost
but that ghost is you
everything here is as it seems
you got a nerve going chasing dreams
chasing something new
Hey big head
now what ya gonna do
hey big head
ain't nobody after you
