Not To Hang Around

b'Don\'t read too much into the lyrics on this one (actually, I would hope you wouldn\'t read much of anything into any of my lyrics). All the lyrics are based on the fact that I felt like the melody of the chorus ought to end every line with an "ow" sound for some reason.\\n\\nYou probably don\'t realize how difficult it was for me, how much restraint it took, to limit the pseudo-choir backing to just one verse and the bridge. You probably do know that backup vocals are usually my favorite part of pop music, but I know it\'s easy sometimes to overdo it, and I\'d rather miss the pseudo-choir than get sick of it.\\n\\nI also feel like I should apologize for the slightly onanistic bass part, especially at the end. Just be thankful it fades out where it does.'
