QUIETLY SQUARE



performed on:
Except for a well-placed flugelhorn from Dickson, this is the one song on FORTUNATE SMILES that features no help from the three added musicians, just Plaastik rocking out to oblivion for close to eight minutes. Hilarious lyrics, a great melody, guitar, guitar, guitar, and fun harmonies make this a return to the greatest moments of Plaastik's past, capping off a fine album of ambitious material. The song premiered on the Information Tour and somehow managed to go through the ROSS VERDICT era without release.


When you're standing with us
And I break out the heroin
You don't shoot up
But you don't protest

Because you're quietly square
Yeah, quietly square
You don't fuck hookers
You don't drink beer
But you don't tell us all that

We like to look at Hustler
You prefer Rembrandt
But you ain't no activist
You don't moralize

Because you're quietly square
Yeah, quietly square
You don't eat pussy
You don't smoke pot
But you don't tell us all that

You talk about somethin' else
When it's your turn

You never say 'fuck" or "shit"
Or "cunt" or "cock" or "bitch"
When we say 'em you don't flinch
You just let it go

Because you're quietly square
Yeah, quietly square
You don't fuck hookers
You don't drink beer
But you don't tell us all that
