the clasp broke at the disco Mom I'm sorry
& the older men who hit on Becky
nearly broke their necks on scattered pearls
& we searched the best we could
for two entire songs we knelt & felt along
the place where we had stood

but we only found 7 of Grandmother's pearls

& as we rode the bus home I thought surely
I'd wake up tomorrow just to find
that I had dreamed up everything
there'd still be pearls on a string
I wouldn't smell like smoke & I'd still
have the cash that I had spent on drinks

oh I feel as scattered as Grandmother's pearls

Mom don't cry they're only pearls

Aw, they only wanted to go home and give Mom a pearl necklace

if the pearls scattered, it probably means they were fake pearls. cultured (real) pearls are usually knotted on the string. so it should be: mom, don't cry, they're only fake pearls

Calvin Johnson has ruined rock for an entire generation.

Though the newer stuff more so, of course. He is expressing a bolder personality.

I saw Casiotone for the Painfully Alone in '98 I guess here in the Diego, Steve. Playing with the Rapture at that club on 30th Street where I think the Vespa shop is now if Vahid or any other locals know what I'm talking about.

I was there.
