about

My first cover of this song is on my YouTube account, username Sportyak67. You can also just search my name with or without the song title "Dead Shark" on YouTube and you will find it. I can relate to many of the insecurities in the lyrics to this song and I loved the lo-fi quality of this song and all of the songs recorded on Liz Phair's Girly Sound tapes.

lyrics

Don't be so rude, I was only trying to make conversation
Hey, we gotta go on down
we've got a dead shark on our hands
we got a dead shark on our hands
we got a dead shark on our hands
we got a dead shark on our hands

I'm just trying to get a handle on this
I'm just trying to figure out where I stand
I'm just trying
so sue me for trying
Do I just have a problem
or did you also think that this was hot?

I really hate talking to you on the telephone
can't we just break it off, have you come over tonight
can't we just break it off, have you stay here tonight

I'm not looking over my shoulder
I'm not gazing up at the stars
I'm not thinking five years in the future
I'm just wondering where you'll stay tonight
