Remember me? Now blame the squirrel; I ain't up to explainin' this one. Well, where it came from at least. I must explain the tone, so I don't offend anyone who likes kids.  This is the uber-colourful ultra-paranoid style of Smith in his coked up days. Y'know, The Top? Wild, crazy, screwed up, PARANOID, utterly nonsensical. My fave album. Heh.ROBERT SMITH WAS EATEN BY CHILDREN He was making himself A teddy bear, But now he’s not going Anywhere. Robert Smith Was eaten by children! Isn’t that his spidery hair Being passed from little hand To little hand Over there? Robert Smith Was eaten by children! They followed him Because he was wild, But now he’s in pieces Because of a child. Robert Smith Was eaten by children! With gnashing teeth And glowing eyes, The children crept up In disguise. Robert Smith Was eaten by children! (I hate children. They’re so tiny.) Isn’t that his Muppet shirt Being torn and dragged All through the dirt? Robert Smith Was eaten by children! (I’m afraid of stepping on them.) He was from an age They did not know; Blink 182 is who They were taught to follow. Robert Smith Was eaten by children! An innocent mistake, Recorded for his niece. Now our dear Fat Bob, May he always rest in peace. Robert Smith Was eaten by children! Blink approached him meekly And he coloured between the lines, But poor Robert didn’t understand That he was out of time. Robert Smith Was eaten by children! It was the pre-teen punkling fans Who closed their ranks on him; Two heads shorter, but highly vicious, They made his future rather dim. Robert Smith Was eaten by children! He was making himself A teddy bear But now he’s not going Anywhere. Robert Smith Was eaten by children! -11-20-03- (dedicated to Robert Smith; I forgive you for working with Blink!) remember the sound |

LOL Mikey gets blamed for everything ~ and that is because he deserves it! Squirrels are notorious for making nests that we humans get entangled in.  BTW, thanks for the warning about children! From now on I will be more careful around them! ~ and may poor Fat Bobby rest in pieces! ~ I mean "peace"!  EA |
