In the official news release, the band shares that “‘Eucalyptus’ came to life in a burst of charmed spontaneity during a tour stop at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY.”
“I’d sent that song to Matt so long ago I’d forgotten about it, but he’d come up with lyrics and asked me to play it as we...
Eucalyptus Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What about the glass dandelion?
What about the TV screen?
What about the undeveloped cameras?
Maybe we should bury these
What about the last of the good ones?
What about the ceiling fans?
What if we moved back to New York?
What about the moon drop light?
[Chorus]
You should take it, 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, I'm only gonna break it
You should take it, 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, you should take it
[Verse 2]
What about the rainbow eucalyptus?
What about the instruments?
What about the Cowboy Junkies?
What about the Afghan Whigs?
What about the Mountain Valley Spring?
What about the ornaments?
What if I reinvented again?
What about the moon drop light?
[Chorus]
You should take it, 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, I'm only gonna break it
You should take it, 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, you should take it
You should take it, 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, if I miss it, I'll visit
You should take it, 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, you should take it
[Post-Chorus]
I don't want it
I don't care
I don't want it
[Bridge]
It wouldn't be fair
It'd be so alone
Without you there
It wouldn't be fair
It wouldn't be fair
There's nobody home
I'm already there
It wouldn't be fair
[Chorus]
You should take it, 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, I'm only gonna break it
You should take it, 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, you should take it
You should take it, 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, if I miss it, I'll visit
You should take it, 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it
[Outro]
It wouldn't be fair
It'd be so alone
Without you there
It wouldn't be fair
It wouldn't be fair
There's nobody home
I'm already there
It wouldn't be fair

What have the artists said about the song?
We rehearsed it twice without ever having had a demo and played it to the audience that night, and what you hear on the album was partially recorded during that performance. It’s got this raw, immediate feeling, and it made sense to leave the rough edges instead of trying to perfect them. “Eucalyptu...
