1960s and indie influenced pop ....
Story behind the song
the guy's a character. a seemingly big man. but he's not really. he's weak ... and that's disappointing.
Lyrics
how did it come to this at all?
the little big man takes a fall
as he melts he turns to wax
to light the way; to grease the tracks
it didn't have to be this way
his fresh mown grass is turned to hay
he took it from the horse's mouth
when we went north and he went south
and we when we asked him
what he's doing this for
he said, "it's not what it seems"
he's breaking us down
with his games and his schemes
but god only knows
god only knows what's in his mind
it must be something he can't find
and so we found his fatal flaw
achilles heel and broken jaw
there's nothing left for him to say
no excuses anyway
