This was going to be a track for Owen’s much bigger project, “Heartland”, but unspecified things didn’t quite work out, and it was taken down and made into an instrumental. The lyrics, however, were released on his fan boards, though the song itself doesn’t include them.
The day I lost my virginity
I made a pot of chicken noodle soup
Cracked the eggs into a swirling mess
I ate half and I chucked the rest
The day the doctor gave me pills
I smirked like a kid with chewing gum
As if the plague was a college acceptance
Or the memory of a brilliant threesome
A letter came in from St. Germain
My mother washed away by two weeks of rain
The Singer took away my family
But all I felt were his glowin’ arms around me
During Easter dinner, the dog died
And I failed, I failed, I failed
And I couldn’t even lift the spade
