You're The Special

Taken from "Delicious Pie And Thank You For Calling" 2003

"Try real hard to be special
'Cause you're something
And you try so hard to be special
It feels new 'cause you're new
That's what happens when you think like you
Hide, it strong
And you know it
'Cause you knew it
Before she or he or me or you
or them and us and them
and you and knowin it
You're showing it
'Cause you're blowing it
Very gradually
Very sadually
'Cause we won it
And we grab it
But it's slipping away from it"

A fastly strummed obscurity from the "Hardcore UFOs" Boxset. Is this pointing out someones self conceit that they think they are better than they are. Most definitely. Its Bobs "Your So Vain". Something about the vocals reminds me of Sebadoh or Sentridoh oddly enough. Wouldn't it be odd going to a Restaurant and finding out that you were indeed the Special.
