EDO wrote this song in the wretched Winter of 1992-93 after reading “A Fan’s Notes” which is a fantastic book. YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK.
Wikipedia tells us “Frederick Earl "Fred” Exley (March 28, 1929 – June 17, 1992)…was an American writer best known as the author of the fictional memoir A Fan’s...
FOOOOOOORE
For 48 long years
He's drunk and whored and fought
He's written three good books
That's not a lot
Frederick Exley, Fredrick Exley
No one knows your name
And if you could hear this song
You'd probably say
"FUCK YOU!"
It was the winter of my despair
I was so upset
I wanted to jump off a bridge and end it all
Then I read your horrible book
I was so relieved
I knew I had a long way down to go
For 48 long years
He's drunk and whored and fought
He's written three good books
That's not a lot
Frederick Exley, Fredrick Exley
No one knows your name
And if you could hear this song
You'd probably say
"FUCK YOU!"
It was the winter of my upset
I was so depressed
And then I read your horrible little book
Henry Miller, Arthur Miller
All those other Millers got nothing on you
You are the king of all the assholes
For 48 long years
He's drunk and whored and fought
He's written three good books
That's not a lot
Frederick Exley, Fredrick Exley
No one knows your name
And if you could hear this song
You'd probably say
"FUCK YOU!"
And if you could hear this song
You’d probably say “FUCK YOU!”
And if you could hear this song
You’d probably say
“FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, AND YOU!”
