lyrics
I thought all day, I thought it good. I thought a lot like Robin Hood.
I thought the way I thought I should about the Little Man.
I thought it strange birds could not fly. On that day they just dropped out of the sky.
I thought I came that day to cry about the Little Man.
He dug his grave atop a hill shaped like a skull that’s standing still.
He drank his beer; swallowed the pill that killed the Little Man.
Now here I stand. I stand to fall. Some might think that this isn’t good at all.
But I’ll admit I never felt so tall about the Little Man.
I stand for you and I stand for me. I stand for friends and I stand for enemies.
I stand right here and here I stand for the Little Man.
He dug his grave atop this hill shaped like a skull that’s standing still.
I’ll drink his beer; swallow the pill that killed the Little Man.
I thought the way I thought I should about the Little Man.
I thought it strange birds could not fly. On that day they just dropped out of the sky.
I thought I came that day to cry about the Little Man.
He dug his grave atop a hill shaped like a skull that’s standing still.
He drank his beer; swallowed the pill that killed the Little Man.
Now here I stand. I stand to fall. Some might think that this isn’t good at all.
But I’ll admit I never felt so tall about the Little Man.
I stand for you and I stand for me. I stand for friends and I stand for enemies.
I stand right here and here I stand for the Little Man.
He dug his grave atop this hill shaped like a skull that’s standing still.
I’ll drink his beer; swallow the pill that killed the Little Man.

"His music is playful and simple, but most importantly
portable - ukelele strums, glockenspiel plunks, kiddie-Casio key strokes, flutes toots, and small cymbals make up the core pallet of sounds, all of it contributing to the miniature, hand-held feel of the tape."

by remambranFirst saw Mallory play in 2011 as HEAVY FLOW, flash forward 3 years later and a friend of mine is suggesting Remambran to me at a show in LA. Mallory shows up out of nowhere! Small world.

by razors / nathan maNATHAN MA and RAZORS are just nuts-o good songwriters. Full guitar rattling drum battling ensembles on a classic Unread tape. Really though, look up these guys - total sweethearts.
