How the lyrics to "Good Company" came to be...

I suppose the lyrics to our new ep title track, "Good Company" is a ode to unrequited love-an unoriginal, yet persistent theme in many of our lives. My hopeless romantic quest for a significant other, has always fallen on deaf ears and cold hearts, as I may have the most broken radar around when it comes to picking girls. It's really all BROOKE SHIELDS' fault. Damn her for being 2 dimensional. I really thought i had a chance when i was 7. I loooooved her. Eventually, when i realized she would never come down off the movie screen and be with me in Phoenix, AZ where I lived at age 7, i decided to try approaching real life girls that i had actually met in person. From about 10 til now, they all stayed pretty on the outside, but rotten on the inside. How could they be so cruel to me? Oh, you might ask, did I have anything to do with these soured romances? Well, most certainly i did. So, I had to get real tough about my next decision or my days as a romantic were finished. I realized that I needed a gal who was not only lovely and easy on the eyes, but had fortitude, uprightness, could be flexible but unbreakable, solid to the core- a mate who never nagged or begged or wallowed- a real charmer! And then, it happened. One day I was walking down a business street in fabulous Culver City, CA. I looked in the window of dress shop and she stared back at me. "Plastic Fantastic, she's standing six foot tall. So classic, elastic" and soon we were to be "bouncing off the walls." Now this may seem odd to you, inhuman, even deranged. However, it's been no less than enchanting. I wont get into any specifics, because my personal life IS none of your business. But, before you pass judgment on our new love, you might want to spend an evening in my living room, and let yourself look upon me and mine, relaxing on our couch, watching the Tube, and laughing and loving, together..."sitting pretty... Look what good company has done for me!"
