about

Originally there was a (LONG pre-BandCamp) digital release called "Live In The Studio" that featured these seven tracks, recorded with the full band, all playin' together at the time of recording. They are presented here as BONUS tracks for this digital release of "O" BEFORE "L," AND ONLY ONE "E."

lyrics

Well, ya know I get from place to place with that car in my garage
It ain't no fifty-seven Chevy or brand-new shiny red super-stock Dodge
No four-oh-nine, no little deuce coupe, no T-Bird, no Mitsubishi Mirage

Well I drive an automatic and some people say that makes me lame
But with her sunroof, extra big trunk and cassette player I love 'er the same
As any bonehead muscle car driver who calls his car by a woman's name
Well, it's a

CHORUS:
Ninety-one blue-green Volvo 240
It's a ninety-one blue-green Volvo 240
It's a ninety-one blue-green Volvo 240
Gets me where I drive...

(SOLO)

In fact Volvo is not a Swedish word at all, in latin it means "I Roll"
'Cuz really, what word would work better for a car that always reaches its goal?
And if I didn't know better, I would say that car and I share a soul

She may not be the most aerodynamic thing, but I don't care about that
'Cuz all those souped-up shiny hot rods always get their windows smashed with a bat
And if ya call me a square, I'll say "Hey, look over there!"
You'll see the car where I sat, it's kinda--shaped like a hat
And maybe then you'll realize that I drive the only car of my dreams
Yeah it's a

(CHORUS)
(CHORUS)

...it's a Volvo thing, you wouldn't understand.
