“Thick and Thin” is one of several songs from a 1983 rehearsal session, The Happy Sounds of the Crowd, by a pre-Guided by Voices band called The Crowd.
It was first publicly released in 2015 on Suitcase Four, credited to The Crowd.
[Verse 1]
Would you bring my brain back again?
Pictures black and white
Tryin' to get a clearer vision
Understanding fading like the sunlight
I know something isn’t quite right
You’re getting photos of the distribution
You had my head wrong way 'round
[Chorus]
We try to make our plans stick through thick and thin
Something must go wrong to make us think again
[Verse 2]
You saw me today in the laundromat
Washing my own clothes
I put my shoes on, read the paper
Ordinarily, I suppose
I separate my pants from clothes
You held me in your hands and left me exposed
The sick emotion to exist
[Chorus]
We try to make our plans stick through thick and thin
And something must go wrong to make us think again
Oh, we try to make our plans stick through thick and thin
But something must go wrong to make us think again
Thick and Thin was written by Robert Pollard.
Thick and Thin was produced by Guided by Voices.
The Crowd (Lo-Fi) released Thick and Thin on Fri Nov 20 2015.
