| A resounding thud and lots of clangs. By the way, how does Bob make his voice do that (and why would he even want to)? |

| Notwithstanding the fact that all 3 members of OL are Bush-bashing, left-wing radicals (it is not patriotic to support someone who seized office illegally), this song has NOTHING to do with politics. The lyrics were inspired by Bob's reading of Carlos Castaneda. |

| This semi-quasi-pseudo-blues groove is musical tribute to the concept of heptaparaparshinokh (but you had probably figured that out already). |

| A song that questions the value of family values. The American dream isn't the same for every American. The lyrics of this song actually precipitated a fight between a married couple. Talk about having an effect on the listener! |

| A song about circles and such. Straight lines never occur in nature, therefore the human tendancy to organize things in a linear (beginning/middle/end) format is an afront to nature. Argue if you think you must, but Oyster Lucy is NEVER wrong about these things. |

| This was the first song in the last live show before the sabatical that has deprived a needy and desperate world of the pleasant presence of Oyster Lucy. But don't despair--the sabatical is coming to an end VERY soon. Hagen's, Eugene, Oregon, summer, 2000. |

| Pere ubu is a favorite band of all three Lucites. We are honored to be able to offer this cover of the title song from their classic (and influential!) 1978 album. We would like to thank Ubu, their manager, Nick Hobbs, and the nice people at Bug Music (cheers to Jean!) for allowing us to post this song. Recorded at University of Oregon, summer, 2000. |

| WARNING! DANGER! BEWARE! THIS SONG HAS A DOO-DOO WORD IN IT! WE APOLOGIZE TO ALL THE THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES THAT WILL BE DESTROYED BY OYSTER LUCY'S USE OF THIS WORD IN THE SONG. WE THOUGHT THAT THE AMERICAN FAMILY WAS MADE OF STRONGER STUFF. This one wasn't in the set list that night, but when Bob broke a string Dave grabbed his acoustic guitar and saved the day (he saw his duty and he did it!). No, that's not an atonal electric guitar solo, just Bob getting the new string up to pitch. Recorded at Javarama, Corvallis, Oregon, autumn of 1999 (pre-Vic). |

| Pay no attention to Bob's pre-song blather. The members of Oyster Lucy--including Bob--are very cheerful and pleasant fellows--really! Dave had some guitar "issues" at the outset, but these were quickly resolved. He works best under pressure. |
