The 13th track on Bee Thousand. From an interview with Robert Pollard, the song’s writer, on “Queen of Cans and Jars”:
We decided to just do a shitload of [songs], so we could play around with it and analyze it and over-analyze it and all that kind of stuff—try
to come up with some kind of meaning...
[Verse 1]
To see the light and try but fail
On jagged seas that can't be sailed
And sought to lead but always trailed
Asked questions anyway
[Chorus]
And all around the breeding grounds
The nymphos sweetly played
The queen of cans and jars will keep them safe
[Verse 2]
To be so keen on global trend
To be so tight on how and when
To scratch and claw until the end
To work for each new day
[Chorus]
And all around the hunting ground
The dead were on display
The queen of cans and jars will keep them safe
Queen of Cans and Jars was written by Robert Pollard.
Queen of Cans and Jars was produced by Robert Pollard.
