Taken from "From A Compound Eye" 2006.
Lyrics Unknown.
Taken from "From A Compound Eye" and the honour of being the most played song on my iTunes and iPod, "U.S. Mustard Company" is a wonderful song and one of Bobs absolute classics, a simple uplifting track with some lovely guitar playing and vocals that are just perfect. Again, this song has a hint of R.E.M. in it and could easily fit onto "Out of Time" or "Automatic For The People" but is also so uniquely Pollard at the same time. This is the song to play to non-GBV/Pollard fans to get them into him. Where is the U.S. Mustard Company?

one of Todd Tobias's absolute triumphs
the sound is all his, to the point where he probably should have gotten a co-writing credit
a masterpiece
Far too many pieces make the puzzle absurd,
all of it completes when you can't hear a word.
In this situation when you're pressed and annoyed, headed for a climb that you wish to avoid.
If you never think about changing your view, and happily believe what I'm saying to you: If you may consider there is work to be done, readily accept I can turn you on.
Contain yourself, make yourself feel like it used to be.
Throw away your charts of progress, even though you might need them.
Though they'll not be there, you'll think you need them.
Contain yourself (x5)
"Throw away your charts of progress, even though you might need them." is one of my favorite lyrics of all time. feel free to update with these lyrics, they're legit.
One of my favorites on FACE and among Pollard's larger oeuvre. Classic simple riff opens up to a gorgeous first verse. Vaguely Lennon-esque vocally (to great effect).
Tobias did some nice work here, and Bob sounds inspired as all get out here. Pure quality- in fact, it's over too soon!
