Story Behind The Song
I was dumped twice by the same bloke.
Song Description
In a style that evokes a repsonse to the Velvet Underground, this song delivers a littany of the quirky and lovable things said by her beloved, and then all the romantic things he said which fell short when he borke her heart. Punctuated by sarcastic sounding la-la's, it evokes the numbness of the "who needs him anyway" mindset.

Lyrics
Andy says there are three hundred ways to sleep
Andy says there are just as many groceries
Andy says I'm his sugar-coated candy sweet
Andy says he wants to spread me out like butter
Andy says I think it's time we killed this one
Andy says I think it's time we stopped spinning
Andy says he's going to spread his shoulder blades and fly
Andy says he will explain it in a long, long letter
Andy says maybe I'm the golden baby after all
Andy says he wants to take my buggy dancing
Andy says in his dreams I make him squirm
Andy says I should come to the village sooner or later
