This is the first in a mini song-cycle in this album that retells the story of The Wild Party, a “book length epic poem” by Joseph Moncure March
One time I went to just the best party!
The music was good, and the girls were pretty
The booze flowed and it lasted so long
It lasted so long!
I got a part time job around the corner
I think I was ah, telemarketing!
It evolved as the months went by
It involved no hierarchy
It moved and grew to a pitch so fine
Encompassing several houses!
It was impressive, extensive!
Who paid the expenses?
Denizens of the party all knew a special code
They tell you where to get in, they tell you where to go
It was changed twice a day
On weekends 6 times
'Cause any good party should be
A little hard to find
You could wander in by luck
You could be invited!
It could sneak into your house while you're not looking
All full of subletters and accidental applause
Part time posers and full time purists
The just wandering in
The already spoken for
The "This reminds me of Berlin"
The should have held out for more
The stares, the pairs, the affairs of the heart
The smiles and the piles of dirty black clothes
The flocking the knocking on strangers' doors
You want to come along!
It was inclusive!
Resisting it was useless!
And maybe that's why it lasted
Never could see past it
'Till I hooked up with this girl
Who crashed it
Boom!
The stares, the pairs, the affairs of the heart
The smiles and the piles of dirty black clothes
The flocking and the knocking on strangers' doors
Asking if you want to, want to
Impressive! Extensive!
Who paid the expenses?
Intrusive! Inclusive!
Resisting it was useless!
The World/Inferno Friendship Society released Just the Best Party on Tue Apr 02 2002.
