  • If you'd like to give us some money to spend on making more music, that would be kind. While we'd like it to be truly "pay what you like", bandcamp has decided that the minimum should be a pound...which, to be honest, isn't that unreasonable, if you ARE of a generous disposition.

lyrics

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same,
There's a pink one and a green one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same
And there's doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/malvina_reynolds/little_boxes.html ]
And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same,
There's a pink one and a green one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
