Smuggler Archive

I was driving home from work the other day, listening to this unlabeled cassette that I had found in a box earlier in the week. It turned out to be some mix tape I had put together years ago and had forgotten about. Anyway, just after "Pablo Picasso" by the Modern Lovers ended, a voice I hadn't heard in many years came on. It was my own.

Years ago, when I was in college, I was the front man for a punk rock band. We had a lot of fun during our two years together and I still run into the guys from time to time. But, despite ouryears together (or perhaps because of it), I had completely forgotten about one song we used to do from time to time. It was a catchy little "Ha! Core" number called "Chewbacca's Greenhouse". The title just came to me one day and I sat down an wrote it out during a practice session. The guys put together a pretty driving drum and guitar part to it and it just sort of happened. It was pretty popular with the crowds and I was really surprised that I forgot about it. So, in honor of my 450th post here on the boards, I give you "Chewbacca's Greenhouse".

There's this guy, you see.
He lives down the road from me.
He's got the nicest greenhouse
That I ever think you'll see.

Chewbacca's Greenhouse
He loves his plants
He loves his trees
And his broccoli.

WOOKIEE ROAR

Juicy eggplants, round tomatoes
Qumquats and some sweet potatoes
He's got the nicest greenhouse in town.
His green thumb is really brown

Chewbacca's Greenhouse
He loves his plants
He loves his trees
And his biting fleas

Chewbacca's Greenhouse
It's a a great place to be.

He used to fly with Han Solo
Now he uses Miracle-Gro
He's awfully handy with things of green
He's cute and cuddly and not real mean.

Chewbacca's Greenhouse
He loves his plants
He loves his trees
And his broccoli.
And you and me.

BIG WOOKIEE ROAR

Spoken: "Chewie! Chewie! We need more power from the main reactor. Stop fooling around with those petunias! Get up here and leave that hibiscus alone! Oh No!!"

Yes, I realize now that I randomly mixed greenhouse and gardening refrences together, but I was much younger and drunker back then.

And that's why I'm a Smuggler today

Hello, I must be going. I cannot stay, I came to say I must be going. I'm glad I came but just the same I must be going.

Heh.. I played guitar in a High School metal band called Aural Sex. One of our songs was named "Can you hear me cumming?"

Only one thing kept us from going straight to the top.... lack of talent.

Oh well. Good times.... good times.

And I heard that later... someone stole the band name. Bastards.
