come on everybody listen to my story about this society and working for a living working for the company the boss made me angry and then finally I told it to shove it I said "goodbye" to my colleagues and then they wished me luck on my way out in the parking there were hippies looking to jump start their volkswagen hippie vans I said "that's fine under one condition you let me tag along in your travels" after a week of riding through the country wild and care free I wondered about income so I asked someone where we got our food from and our clothes and food and money the answered "our dad's trust fun" those these hippies were independently rich and wealthy I was not I rode home back in the city my stomach was empty without a degree from the university lookin' for more employment sittin' in the dug out with the other players then it came to my brain if you can't be the you gotta join them if you can't join them make your own grow your own

Anthill 02:11
lyrics
buy track
people were cannibals a long time ago before shopping malls and atomic bombs throwing stones at the skulls of the kings and queens ripping them from their thrones eating their flesh and bones now we know that is wrong so we eat the animals drive our car, sing a song, then go home play ping pong little girls play with dolls, little boys shoot their guns teenager drink alcohol gang bangers neanderthals the anthill is smoking just sand no trees a wasteland of nothing

Ode to the Hovel 05:33
lyrics
buy track
like a queen bee who has never stung I got lazy so I quit my job royal jelly dripping' from my tongue I went to sleep woke up a slob now I sleep in a little bitty shack I call it a hovel black widow spiders slipping' in the cracks my pillow is a shovel (sleep through this) roadrunner with a lizard in its beak runs across the desert sand spiraled eyed cuckoo freak tail feathers like a Chinese fan (feel the breeze)

about

This album was recorded in Albuquerque New Mexico in 2005 and 2006. It's the second experiment at seeing how stripped down a rock band can get. In comparison to the "Red Record" before this, "An Orange Album" is even more stripped down in that there is no bass guitar on this album at all! Just the two voices of "Fast Heart" Martin Stamper and Roblyn Crawford accompanied by an acoustic guitar, snare drum, hi-hat, and a tiny splash cymbal. Why strip down so much? For playing on the street. Imagine if the "Violent Femmes" had no bass player and Gordon Gano played harmonica and taught his Pippy Longstocking how to play the drums.

[AOAV] = An Orange Album Version. This song appears in other forms and versions on other Fast Heart Mart albums.
