This song was released in 2000 on sElf’s fifth album, Gizmodgery. It is notable for being recorded only with children’s toy instruments, as are most tracks on the album.
The lyrics describe someone who goes on a very unsuccessful blind date with an eccentric woman named Cindy. The narrator tries to...
[Verse 1]
Mystery date and you can't be late
You thought it wouldn't go any deeper
Stalling and stalling to the voice of debate
Laugh at her jokes and then leave her
You can't get out
Well maybe she's pretty and maybe she's rich
You got to keep an open mind
[Spoken]
"Hi, my name's Cindy and I'm a transistorosexual"
[Chorus]
Now it's all run amok
For the next five hours you're fucked
[Verse 2]
Fallen in a well and you can't get out
Thought you couldn't fall any deeper
You learned about love and the opposite sex
That there's fucked up people
You try again
Maybe she's pretty and maybe she's rich
You got to keep an open mind
[Spoken]
"Hi, um, my name's Cindy... and... I'm your blind date and i'm really blind"
[Chorus]
Now it's all run amok
For the rest of your life you're fucked
Now it's all run amok
For the rest of your life you're fucked
[Outro]
La, la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la
La, la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la, la la
La, la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la
