I recall a time when we were lovers
Before you, I hadn't any other
when the bad times came along
I turned and you had gone
From the start, I loved you, I was wrong

Falling out, it's the end.
May as well have never been
The cards are up, the chips are all cashed in
You won't see me again,
Don't consider me your friend
Falling out, look away, it's the end

Always thought of you as my big brother
Never knew we couldn't trust eachother
Two faces I could see
As you shook my money tree
There's no more you and me
Let it be

Falling out, It's the end
And I lose another friend
The cards are up, the chips are all cashed in
You won't see me again
Don't consider me your friend
Falling out, look away, it's the end.

Falling out, It's the end
may as well have never been
the cards are up, the chips are all cashed in
You won't see me again
don't consider me your friend
Falling out, look away, it's the end
Falling out, look away, it's the end.

More likely an exchange between former lovers. Could be gay but that's not my read although it could be interpreted that way.

I like this song, but my favourite song of ween is "Waving my dick in the wind". Rebecca and Bill, please play that!

I seriously doubt that P. F. Sloan and Steve Barri made very much money from the original release back in 1966. Highly likely that Imperial (label) made 95% of the profit off of it.

I hear Paul Heaton (The Housemartins & The Beautiful South) very strongly in that voice, but given the difference in music & geography I'm clearly a long way out {#Stupid}

Seldom, but you do... This however is not one of them.  It's about two different people

That's one way of looking at it - the song could also be directed at two different people; a woman and a man

WEEN!!  I wonder if these guys will ever get recognized for their clever lyrics and compositions.  Even though alot of their music has easily recognized influences, they do an incredible job of making it their own.  And then again, some of their stuff is just bizarre. They have a huge catalog of songs and so much of it is great.  Where's the props?

i second that! Like from this cd: Exactly Where I'm At Even If You Don't Bananas and Blow Stay Forever Ice Castles The Grobe Are all RP'able. Stroker Ace - might be... probably too fast of a rocker though. i just mention it cuz its one of my favorite ween songs... especially when they do it live! And Gener pulls out the Bullhorn...

You still don't. Ween is the most chameleonic 6 or 7 bands I've ever heard. :) Some further examples would be "Dr. Rock," "Banannas and Blow," "Ice castles," and "God In my Bed." -PL-
Posted 20 years ago by phil-light    [ Reply ]
Hmm. This is Ween? I can see how someone might think it sounds like Sir Paul. Plus it's got that trite skiffle sound to it.
Posted 20 years ago by ChardRemains    [ Reply ]
actually thought it was Paul McCartney singing this song at first

Posted 20 years ago by samiyam    [ Reply ]
I think they got typecast a little with the success of "Waving My Dick in the Wind" and before that :"Pushing Little Daisies". Those songs would be the most famous (in the broader sense) Ween songs got a fair bit of play on radio when they were released and so nowdays when the name Ween is thrown about, those songs come to mind. And so it makes it difficult when presented with a song as diverse as this to comprehend - this is the same band.

this is indeed a great song, as is most Ween what is amusing is how convincing they are, any genre they pick up (of which there are dozens), they seem to fit right in, the whole time making fun of whatever they sound like. It's not imitation, it's mocking. But a friendly, respectful mocking. If you can understand that. PLAY MORE BIZARRE WEEN SONGS!!!
Couldn't agree more. This reminds me of my dear dead friend, Eric, who forced ween upon me. A lot of people seem to think of them as a "novelty act", but there's much more. Please play "the Argus" off the new album.

Posted 22 years ago by juliek33    [ Reply ]
DEANER! GENER! These guys are amaaaaaazing live... saw them this year and in 2000 here in Vancouver. Without qualification the best shows I have ever seen. I am constantly amazed by the range of Ween's music. Seems they cover more territory in each album than a lot of bands do in a career... and they've done harsh pseudo industrial and sea shanteys and c&w and rock & roll and... and... and..... Praised be th'Boognish!
