Lyrics:

My little lumberjack
You don't watch your back
In fact I never want you to leave
My heart was falling and you didn't try to catch it
Behind your back and you were holding a hatchet
Stop your talking and help me rake up leaves
Oh oh oh oh

Poor little me
Poor poor poor so poor because of she
Carved her name into my living tree
Climbed up to the top so she could see
Poor little me
Poor little me
Poor little me

I had a heart attack
You made a cordwood stack
Stacked up so high I can't see
My heart was broken and you kept on stakin'
Grab that ax and keep on wackin'
Quit your splittin' and sweep up my debris
Oh oh oh oh

Poor little me
Tied a mood swing on my loving tree
Way too heavy the branch is getting weak
I tried to swing and I skinned my little knee
Poor little me
Poor little me
Poor little me

Poor little me
Pushing and shoving all around my loving tree
You put on your kiss off boots
Walked all over my deep emotional roots
Poor little me (poor me)
Poor little me (little me)
Poor little me (x5)

You guys should be in the rock hall of Fame. Amazing song writers with amazing structural music.

[JayLeePoe]

This is the best part about music, within a few measures it can sound as fresh as classic no matter what year it was made. People like this don't write these songs for the year they're released, because people get to comb over the years and enjoy things like this. Such a solid garage rock sound.

[prariedogg]

Love that you guys are still rocking! I play your music all the time on my drive to work with my two year old daughter, and she cheers when you songs come on.

[mrgreen]

Only the half number of strings as other bands, and it just flows.... excellent.. love it

[jasoncornish]

How does this only have 64K views and 631 likes?!!! I weep for the state of music today when they do not recognize an awesome song

[MsDeeke]

I've loved these guys since my freshman year in '94

[darlekfunk]

When I was 12, I went to Warehouse Music to sell your CD back to them. The clerk took the CD, looked at me, looked back at the CD and then frowned. He gave me back the CD and in an upset tone, as though I had killed his parents, said, "We have too many of these. Why the hell would you think we didn't have so many of these? There's no way I am going to take this!" I told him I was just a twelve-year-old and then apologized. Long story short, I still have your CD and they're out of business.

[MrJahn]

I've seen them in Seattle for the past 4 years, simply AMAZING!

[Volts]

Watching Chris in this video reminds me of a kid. It's like watching a six year old play guitar, and that's good.

[thinkdif]

Needs more 2 string, 1 string, and no string guitars. Maybe cowbell.

"I got a brand new cymbal supplier... They're really good, they're Sa-bi-an...
They're great, they're Sa-bi-an!"

[Cyko..]

Those cymbals look great. They're great they're Saybian!

[kniazzy]

Still got it, guys!
Cannot wait for the album :)

[jeterhune]

Always amazed by the sound you pull out of what is basically one guitar and a drum kit.

[baroncalamityplus]

Awesome new album guys. Several of the tracks are now my all time PUSA favorites. 

[gta]

All these years and still the most awesome band ever! 
Cant wait for album!!

[maxbouvatte]

[SuperPhil-]

I can't wait! This track has been on constant replay since you guys released it. : 3

[samuelelora]
