Cobwebs - Loudon Wainwright III[00:00:01]

Well it stumbles and it falls off[00:00:12]

Of almost every tongue[00:00:13]

Give a listen and you'll hear[00:00:14]

It's workin like a landmine[00:00:16]

In almost every sentence[00:00:17]

It's an assault to my mind's ear[00:00:18]

Yeah it might have started back[00:00:20]

With Jack Kerouac[00:00:21]

Probably more than likely it[00:00:22]

Was Maynard G. Krebs[00:00:23]

It's the 4 letter word[00:00:24]

That used to mean 'as if'[00:00:26]

And the meaning's covered in cobwebs[00:00:27]

Cobwebs[00:00:33]

Used to be a preposition then[00:00:38]

It was a conjunction[00:00:39]

Now it's used as an audible pause[00:00:40]

Oh I hate it when[00:00:42]

I hear it especially when I see it[00:00:43]

Gotta stamp it out there[00:00:44]

Ought to be some laws[00:00:45]

Boys College valley girls mall[00:00:46]

Rats grandmammas[00:00:48]

Everybody's misusin that word[00:00:48]

Cobwebs[00:00:56]

Cobwebs[00:00:59]

Cobwebs[00:01:03]

I suppose you could blame[00:01:09]

It on my generation[00:01:10]

Chickens from the 60s finally[00:01:13]

Comin into roost[00:01:15]

I've been sayin it myself[00:01:18]

For over 30 years now[00:01:19]

Just to give my cool quota[00:01:22]

Just a little bitty kind of a boost[00:01:24]

But when I hear it[00:01:27]

I can't stand it[00:01:28]

Especially coming out of the mouths[00:01:31]

Of one of my own kids[00:01:33]

It's been taught and, God,[00:01:35]

What have we wrought?[00:01:38]

Give a listen here, what do we dig?[00:01:40]

I prefer ah or er[00:01:46]

You can rest assured[00:01:48]

If you're sayin what you mean[00:01:50]

Then it don't mean a thing[00:01:51]

It's just an ugly little 4 letter word[00:01:53]

Doesn't anybody care or am[00:01:55]

I the only one?[00:01:55]

I just Am stuck back[00:01:56]

In some kind of a past?[00:01:57]

Maybe it's harmless[00:01:59]

But it feels like a virus[00:02:00]

It sounds And like[00:02:01]

It's catchin on fast[00:02:02]

Cobwebs[00:02:03]

Cobwebs[00:02:07]

Well it stumbles and it falls off[00:02:12]

Of almost every tongue[00:02:13]

Give a listen and you'll hear[00:02:14]

It's workin like a landmine[00:02:16]

In almost every sentence[00:02:17]

It's an assault to my mind's ear[00:02:18]

Yeah it might have started back[00:02:20]

With Jack Kerouac[00:02:21]

Probably more than likely it[00:02:22]

That used to mean 'as if'[00:02:25]

And the meaning's covered in cobwebs[00:02:26]

Cobwebs[00:02:32]

Cobwebs[00:02:49]
