about

This is a strange one: in 2007 this version of this song was recorded as the backing track for American actor Chris Klein to sing the words to in the film 'Hank & Mike', a story about unemployed Easter bunnies. The Silver Hearts had been covering this song for a while, and I came in to sing the words for Chris to learn. My first and only brush with semi-stardom.

lyrics

Love, it’s like a hurricane: it happens in Florida, it gets into everything.
Love, it’s like a monster truck: it fills up whole stadiums, but it crushes smaller trucks
Love, it’s like a marmoset: it may be small and cute, but sometimes it eats its young
Love, it’s like a trailer park: ugly but functional, the rent is cheap enough
Love, it’s like a garbage man: it collects waste and filth, it smells like rotting flesh
Love, it’s like an interstate: it gets you from place to place, but it’s littered with dead raccoons
Love, it’s like a newborn child: seems interesting when it’s young, gets pedestrian after a while
Love, it’s like a hurricane: it happens in Florida, it destroys everything.
