Artist: They Might Be Giants
Song: Memo to Human Resources
Album: Indestructable Object (E.p.)
Verse 1:
C E
I'll be in the back
G
And I don't need the help
C E
I'm good here in the back
G
I'm good here by myself
C E G
I'm good here taking stock of all the things that I've forgot
C E G C E
And making mental notes of just exactly where I lost the plot
Verse 2:
I hung around too long
feeling sorry for myself
A dsinvited guest
rifiles through the bathroom shelf
I'm searching for some disbelief that i can still suspend
But nevermind the furthermore-the plea is self-defense again
Chorus: (Same chords as verse)
Then the people came to talk me down
And I got some advice
Then the people came to talk me down
But I don't need advice-I'm down
Verse 3:
Later in my car
I considered what you said
I'm good here in my car
I'm good with what you said
And I'd be shouting out to you but I was mighty hoarse
With finer points and issues much too small to force
Chorus:
Then the people came to talk me down
And I got some advice
Then the people came to talk me down
But I don't need advice-I'm down

| I think it is about suicide. The people talking him down and such. Counting down... 5,4,3,2,2,2 Not sure if he's going to jump or something, stuck on '2' and getting talked down after thinking about it. Just a thought. | |

| I think "Never mind the furthermore, the plea is self-defense" is a Monkees reference. Micky used that line in a couple songs he co-wrote. | |

| I thought it was about a reclusive, depressed writer who can't thing of anything to write (suspension of disbelief and losing the plot), but he's sort of a know it all and likes showing off to people. But when he's feeling bad, some people who got mad at him for being a pedant came to try to get him to be more modest and also give him some advice. He got the advice, but he already felt crappy, so they didn't really influence him there. Later, he reflects on their visit and (in the second person) realizes that they're right, but still wants to be a know-it-all at them. I like the suicide idea, too, especially with the countdown. Maybe a suicidal writer? Eh, who knows, it is TMBG, after all. | |
