There is no pain, my bodies drained
I never should of had that fourth slice straight
We gathered round, the lost and found
But my jerks of attention let me down
Well I took the first one,
And I pulled it back.
And what was once green
Had all turned black, had all turned black
And there was nothing left to say.
I'm ten foot tall, the world's so small
I know it all when I'm wasted
What you see, inside of me
Has been set free when I'm wasted, wasted.
I'm getting there, my constant stare
And I don't think I'll move from this chair
We've got them both, Archers of loaf
And the Stone Roses in the stereo
Well I took the first one,
And I pulled it back.
And what was once green
Had all turned black, had all turned black
And there was nothing left to say.
I'm ten foot tall, the world's so small
I know it all when I'm wasted
What you see, inside of me
Has been set free when I'm wasted, wasted.
I'm ten foot tall, the world's so small
I know it all when I'm wasted
What you see, inside of me
Has been set free when I'm wasted, wasted.
Wasted, wasted
Wasted, wasted
I'm ten foot tall, the world's so small
I know it all when I'm wasted
What you see, inside of me
Has been set free when I'm wasted, wasted.
I don't want to be straight, don't want to be straight
I don't want to be wasted, wasted, wasted, don't?

Shirtless jumping guy is Nick Cowie, who was a prominent band photographer back in the 90's. I'd forgotten he was in this.

I loved Slightly Oddway twelve years ago when it came out, it got many repeated listens, I was about 11. Anyway, dunno what happened to my copy, Jebediah and bands alike stepped aside as my musical infliuences changed, and I got older Anyway today at the cd store, I picked this baby up again for just $8.99. Classic. Takes me back listening again. Funny how things come full circle. Great band.

Yeah I think because it was an unearth comp or something, JJJ technically owned this version so they had to re-record for the LP.
Well....that's my understanding of it.
