about

his song is presented in almost it’s original format, with just one little “radio-friendly” edit. I was always very happy with this song and what Hoagie did to bring out the grittiness.

lyrics

Sticky on a one side, slick on another
Ripped to f###ing shreds then spliced back together
With tape, ooh with tape
Rolling out from inside, hiding cracks and dividing lines
Adhering to the surface, pasting over imperfections
Like tape, ooh like tape

And there’s a big, big hole like a hole in the ground
And where there’s supposed to be a man, there’s no man to be found
There’s a big, big hole like a hole in his head
And if that’s how it’s gonna be, we’d be better of dead

Sticky on a one side but completely invisible
Forging into union that which was divisible
Tape, ooh yeah tape
Placed by many hands in the name of magic
Covering up layer upon layer of the tragic
Like tape, ooh like tape

Cause there’s a big, big hole like a hole in the ground
And where there’s supposed to be a man, there’s no man to be found
There’s a big, big hole like a hole in his head
And if that’s how it’s gonna be, we’d be better of dead
There’s a big, big hole where the sky’s falling down
But if no one’s there to hear it, then it doesn’t make a sound
There’s a big, big wreck but they make a decree
And then they cover it up cause they don’t want us to see

Stretch it, cut it, stick it, cover it up (x6)

Devin Tait Sacramento, California

Having transplanted himself from Kansas to California around the turn of the millennium, Devin Tait quickly found himself derailed from his original plan to join a boyband. Meeting a couple of guitar playing lesbians at karaoke led Tait to form the band Shitting Glitter with Amy Crosby and Von Edwards. After nearly a decade with the band, Tait decided it was time to branch out on his own. ... more
