A Trophy Mule In Particular

Taken from "Earthquake Glue" 2003.

"I wince when you map out,
how to get it together,
and collect my troubles,
and brave the weather.
unlocking a freak bag,
of stolen images,
an organized zoo,
and earthquake glue,
a challenge,
what to go for,
and celebrate.
with the stock market tumbling,
and the rock market crumbling,
so where am i now,
for i am a soldier,
a trophy mule.
i went when you map out,
how to get it together,
and collect my troubles,
and brave the weather. "

Almost the title track from "Earthquake Glue" one of the final albums recorded under the Guided By Voices name is a mini-epic of changing tempos and melodies. A love the bit where the song expoldes and the main riff begins. Good song for a good album.
