Taken from "Speak Kindly Of Your Volunteer Fire Department" 1999
"He who shits out magic may shine
for the good of a customs and calling
call him Max
send him a fax
charge him no tax
Pop Zeus
He who gives love to angry children
kids on the skid with baggy trousers
call him zerman find him a helmet
He will come crashing
Pop Zeus
Electric Newspaper Boy!"
The Pop Zeus! Good name for a Song (and the name of a certain Guided By Voices/Pollard Web Blog too). "He Who Shits out Magic May Shine!", This song is a bit a minor classic with a pulsing melody and a guitar lick that could almost be an Irish jig. Who is Zerman? You can see some of Bobs humour is this song with the "Electric Newspaper Boy" chant! Make me laugh anyway.

The great thing about this song is that when he screams "electric newspaper boy!" he makes you believe it! This is a great review project you have going here, thanks for doing it
