Lord Of Overstock

Taken from "Under The Bushes Under The Stars" 1996

"straight to the lord of overstock
who spoke for the millionth turn
said "don't be late for the superdeal
we'll save you a lot
and take every cent you earn "

following tips, his overfed rats
said "trust in the king of overstock
invest in his wisdom and learn
there's less to go around if everyone counts,
but if you've got the money to burn,
then you will be in always good faith
for what you are worth
in heaven on earth!" "

A classic song from classic period Guided By Voices. A massive song with larger than life lyrics. A song without a proper chorus but feels like it has one. Its crazy how many songs Bob write that don't have proper Choruses but feel like they do. Genius.
