Little Fits

Little fits is the second song on The Fullerenes’ album, Better Dating Through Technology.

From the Zabloing! bandcamp re-issue description of the song, Clint states: Like a lot of Fullerenes songs, this tune was based on an oldie - I was always impressed by Leslie Gore's song "It's My Party" with its big harmonic chromaticism in the verses... this tune was an attempt to do something like that.

The pitched percussion instrument was a set of glasses from Ryan's kitchen that I played with a spoon... Bob and Ryan both played sax on this tune, and I "played" trombone.

Lyrics
Oh, if it were up to me There's one place I would be And that's anywhere but here Just call me one Unlucky stiff As a board that's bored to tears

I know just what you're going to say You say it anyway All eloquence and no gist Now it's just your beer and me And if you don't want us to leave You better quit bitching right now

You read a couple books And you talk a lot of shit But you're twenty one years old And you're still sporting Hello Kitty Now your secret's out Nothing that some duct tape couldn't fix

Don't throw your pretty little fits Don't bother talking with a pout If they're listening to you Then they're feeling bad for me When you started talking The party started walking out

Walking out Walking out

Please tell me your opinion Your knowledge is comprehensive Please dress me, I don't know how

Oh, if it were up to you I think I know what you'd do As long and loud as you can You're a walking pain in the brainpan A profane obscenity A crime against humanity

Kisses talk from mouth to mouth Everybody wants you out You're the one we're gonna miss But only if you don't come back You got your precious little facts So you better get twistin' right now

I can almost see the rumors getting started What goes in is coming out You dumb it down You sink a little lower And we realize Very little fits Inside a pretty little head Like yours

Don't throw your pretty little fits Don't bother talking with a pout If they're listening to you Then they're feeling bad for me When you started talking The party started walking out

Walking out Walking out Walking out Walking out Walking out Walking out Walking out Walking out
