	Story Behind the Song my auntie di and my mom and i were driving home from batoche on a summer afternoon, and di was talking down to me. "auntie di, don't condescend to me," i said. "jay," she said, "you're the KING of condescension." Lyrics King of Condescension by James Earl Hails chorus: you call me the king of condescension that's an awfully big word for you to mention but if you ask me to i'll spell it for you i'm no snob i won't ignore you and i'll keep it short i don't want to bore you and i know attention span was never one of your big things sometimes i'm too big for my perfect skin i have to close my big blue eyes just to keep it all in and you'll never know how precious i can be 'cause i don't have to try you see i'm happy all the time and every day i hold my breath above my head play guitar and stay in bed i drink hot coffee and piss cold lead 'cause when you're bigger than jesus there's nothing anyone can say chorus you say that my pride is like a vulture in that case i should get on fine in this consumer culture they say i am insatiable but enough's enough my belly's full i feel like some kind of emotional cannibal or a bird of prey from where i stand i only see the tops of houses the roofs of trees it's no wonder you look so small to me i've got a head full of sky and all the clouds that it can hold chorus.
