Earworm: Wilco's "Candyfloss" -- Summerteeth album
"Candyfloss"

I'm the boy that looks excited
I'm the boy thats gonna fall apart
Candyfloss, I lie to myself
I'm the boy that eats his heart out

I know I should be more careful
I know I should watch where Ive been
Candyfloss and shes a safecracker
She kissed me first and then broke in

We slip and slide on the stay-together landmine
I make my mind up to never be myself
And every time I fake around
I live my life for someone else

Oh-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa-whoa

She's in the kitchen with bitter diamond drunks
(She's in the way)
I'm on the sofa hoping she leaves that punk cause
(I'm in the way)

I'm the boy with the poetry power
I'm the boy, smells like flowers
Every time I dick around
I live my life like I wasnt invited

Oh-whoa-whoa

She's in the way
I'm in the way

I'm the boy that looks excited
I'm the boy thats gonna fall apart
Candyfloss, she kissed me first
And I'm the boy, don't get me started

I know I should be more careful
I know I should watch where Ive been
Candyfloss, shes a safecracker
She kissed me first, then broke in

Oh-whoa-whoa

2. Summerteeth is just their best album by far.
And that particular song is one of my favorites off that disc.

3. It's a hidden track, too.
It's not listed on the album cover.

9. That, or "Being There"
But you can't go wrong w/ both.

In the Jay vs. Jeff wars among Uncle Tupelo cultists I've always been solidly in the Jay faction, but I love Jeff's middle period w/ Wilco...
