Taken from "Under The Bushes Under The Stars" 1996
"To remake the young flyer
yes we must define his high desire
stand erect and not detect
the anythings that we could not admire
from a long line of highmen
number one, is that the one to send?
to restore all the trial
this and then the national pride so proud
a question to the lunatic
does your day seem like night
does your world go to heaven?
gallant men dash forth
he takes his place
he ends the laughter of the slaughter daughters
takes his softness from his hand and goes
to remake the young flyer
yes we must define his high desire"
A wonderful Tobin Sprout song with a very distinctive guitar sound. Languid and beautiful from the classic Guided By Voices album.

Now that the University of Dayton has gone crazy in the wake of their tournament success, I'm wondering if there are any GBV songs that are specifically about the U of Dayton, or the Flyers. To Remake the Young Flyer seems like it might be, but probably not. Certainly not overtly so. Any thoughts?
