SERI*--
performed: never
Literally buried on the "Left" single, this oddly-titled, evocative song, similar in arranegment to "Full Moon" from SALT, has become one of Plaastik's most popular b-sides, with its twisting, teasing, brilliant lyrics and Nick Parker's galvanizing vocal performance. The origins of the song are unknown, no band member has talked about it, it carries no composer or producer credit, and it has never been played live. We hope to shed some light on this song at some point.
Oh yeah
Saw Billy last night
On the corner
She didn't have the money
Couldn't buy that jacket
I was gonna buy Billy the jacket
But he said 'no, man'
And I looked in my pocket
And I ain't got the money
But I'm wearin' the jacket
So I took it off
And threw it in the street
I was only sixteen
But I was serious
