    Story Behind the Song
    This is one of the two songs I recorded during the summer of 2001, the other one being "Around the Way". If you listen to a lot of alternative music from the mid-1990's, you'll find that the lyrics use a lot of simple contradictions, presumably to sound enigmatic. So they would have called this song "The Smallest Giant" or something.

    Lyrics
    I could fill a classroom with the stories I have told
    But none of them would hold your attention
    So I sit back and wait for your love to turn to hate
    And I show the words around, yes, I show the words around
    Like a submarine resurfacing only to return to see

    That water's overrated, we don't need it anyway
    It carries germs, I caught a bad infection yesterday
    I'm better now there's no need to moan and pout
    I'm the biggest giant and you're the strongest cow

    I've got a great collection of books I've yet to read
    And letters that I wrote but never sent
    I've got skills to pay the rent and the moral of the story
    Is you miss every shot that you don't take
    And you eat every cookie that I bake

    Cause food is so neglectful vis-a-vis my memory
    And it was lame of me to write that note so negligently
    Wish I had a dime for every time you looked at me
    I'm the biggest giant and you're the tallest tree

    You tried to make me be the clown in the dunk tank
    Make me play the bass in a funk band
    I liked you when your soul was clothed
    I thought you knew how goths smoke Cloves
    And now I'm leaving, you can have my PSX if you want
    And if you need me you can look in one of my old haunts
    But you won't find me, cause I'll be in Portland, Oregon
    I'm the biggest giant, and you are simply gone
