I don't why, but the 'Love Untold' thread starting me thinking about other songs by Paul that have been mentioned very infrequently on this board over the years. I have had "Hot 'Un" stuck in my head for days now. Such an upbeat, joyous song. Time sure has flown. The lyrics lodged deep inside my brain are these: 'I got an earring that I dangle from' and 'Check out that girl on that belly button' www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPEbFkrrLN0I am pretty certain this video did not coincide with the Grandapaboy release. I still have a grandapaboy 45 with a drawing of Elrod on the crapper (I Want My Money Back b/w Undone) Paul seemed to really let go with this project and produced some great, largely overlooked music. Psychopharmacology,anyone?  What other little gems deserve an airing out?? Send me back to the piles. |

I always liked "Wonderful Copenhagen". I like how he changed "salty old queen of the sea" to "salty old bitch" in the last verse
And I like how he got a groove on that song, with the rhythm. That kind of rhythm though reminded me of "Bang a Gong" by T Rex. More interesting is how he covered this tune in his own way and arrangement---and more intriguing is why this song though?

What a Day for a Night just popped on my Spotify. Simple but a good tune nonetheless.

And his “What Kind of Fool Am I?” on Dead Man Shake. Get me some goddam tissues. |

Speaking of songs fit for tissues. How about this forgotten number by Paul and the boys: 'Only if we Must' ?
This song makes me deliciously sad in a way that only Neil Young's (Buffalo Springfield) 'Flying on the Ground is Wrong' can equal.
ONLY IF WE MUST
You learn from the past
Well I reminisce
You look to the future
I see maybe at best
A kiss for good luck
Save it for an honest Joe
It's too late to worry
I guess I'll just go
So forgive me
And maybe
We won't turn and rust
Only if we must
Only if we must
Saints never preach
And angels don't fly
Down by the beach
Where the seagulls die
I asked you not to breathe
You let out a sigh
I asked you not to breathe
That's for you to decide
So forgive me
If need be
Forget about us
Only if we must
Angels wait on the beach
For the time run
I let out a sigh
If I reminisce
And you're the past
Ah, maybe at best
Our epitaph
Forgive me
And if need be
I will turn to dust
Forget me if you must
Only if you must
If you must

2012!? Shit. I didn't think it'd been that long. Yeah, just like Stain Yer Blood or Everything Goes Wrong, it's definitely one of those best-song-that-never-made-it-on-an-album songs. |

Not familiar with this one. What have I missed? This was a demo I thought was circulating around on the internet with a bunch of other Mats demos. Like Run for The Country, and another fave of mine Learn How to Fail, Time is Killing Us and some others www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzsitQNxbi8 |

I have to say I’ve never heard this song... this kicks most demo cuts to the curb. How was this left off that album?

Wasn't Only If We Must on that 4 CD bootleg thing going around some years ago? It had a lot of outtakes from Please to Meet Me sessions and I think there was some other of Paul's demos. Things like "Hard to Wave in Handcuffs".
I just re-listened to "Learn How to Fail" and really like how sparse it is, the haunting reverb, Chris' drum fills, and Tommy's dynamic bass work. There is just this vibe I get from the song that I really like but I can't explain what it is, I just like it. The way the song starts building and you think it's gonna have more guitars come in but it doesn't. And I like that, it builds but the intensity is in Paul's vocals while the guitar is still muted and clean.

This one (below) feels almost “of a piece” with it—again, anyone know anything about it? It’s Tommy singing right? |

Nice pick Bside! 'All That I Had' is heart-wrenching:
"Me and yesterday hopped on a track
I swear to God neither of us ever coming back"
"Gave a life, got a living"
Another obscure one? 'You're Getting Married'.
