somehow i missed this song over the years. you know, i know it, but... it never made much of an impact until today. then it hit me! wow. sad and funny. just really simple and pretty. i don't know what else to say. it's on 'vampire on titus'. 4-tracked. the best way to record a song. and those great intertwining vocals at the end. as gorgeous in their own way as 'god only knows'. take a listen to this one. it just might make your day.
Jar of Cardinals
Droves of growers rolling by
In the trees and way below
Simple factors foiling time
Never did we seem to know
She was high and I was low
Sitting in our bungalow
Eating something wonderful
Never ever getting full
Nests of crows are hoarding coins
In the competition zone
Hush now seedling, don't you cry
Maybe I'll be coming home quite soon for you
Quite sinful you...
