"Telephone Conversation" lyrics
Hello? Hello, Abby Normal looking for male, female drummer?
Right
Is that you?
Yep
What's this Abby Normal shit?
Name of the band
Oh, is it really?
Yeah
It's the name of the group, huh?
Yep
Yeah, what kind of music you guys play?
Uh, it's like a cross between all different styles
What's your name?
Tim-Dog
Yeah, wait
My name's Tim, but they call me Tim-Dog
So, what, are you originally from Seattle or something?
No, I'm originally from Buffalo
I lived in Seattle for a while
But, I was just doing junk
Hanging out, just fucking around
Yeah, yeah
Just doing the scene and stuff, so
You, uh, played any like, uh, Buffalo bands before?
Like, before you moved up to Seattle?
I was in a grime metal band
Uh, huh
Called Ripping Hammer
Yeah
It was pretty cool, we were doing that for a while
Then I was in this, like, weird-
Weird, like, techno band
Mhm, mhm
Really fucked up techno, that's when I was into drugs
Like, getting all kinds of fucked up diseases and shit
I'm OK now though
It's good to wear condoms
It's good to wear condoms, yeah, but you know
Won't protect you from crabs
Well, yeah, you get crabs? Big deal
[?]
Totally
Ha ha
Just fucking scrub 'em
So, uh, what've you got, the bass-
The bass drum?
Uh, the toms, the floor, a kick... and a snare
Can you, uh, play like-
See some of the stuff-
I can play anything, dude
It's like real-
Crunchy
It's mellow, man
Mellow?
Like, mellow funk?
Um, yeah, like a couple funk tunes-
Do you guys play fast tempos with odd time signatures?
Uh, huh
Cool
Some of the stuff is like-
Have you ever heard of a band called Napalm Death?
Yeah
You have?
Yeah
See that's kinda cool, I'm into that too
Yeah
They're- they're awesome
You know, we've got some songs that are, like, heavy
And you can mosh
That's cool, I love moshing
It's- it's such a good thing to do
Especially when you're on heroin
Moshing while you're on heroin is the fucking jam
'Cause everybody's moving, but you're not!
Uh, huh
You're just getting so loud
Yeah, yeah
It's really weird, I mean moshing on like-
Twelve hits of acid
Ha ha
Dude
Never did it
Fuck that, fuck that
People were melting
Alright, you wanna get together?
Yeah, yeah what's your name?
Uh, they call me Nigel
Nigel, they call ya'?
Yeah
That's cool, my name's Tim-Dog
I'll call you back tomorrow, dude
Alright
Maybe we could get together tomorrow or something?
Alright, that might be cool
Alright, Tim
Alright
