Memory Excellence 32: Don't Stand So Close to Me '86

32. Don't Stand So Close to Me '86

Make sure your ego is as brassy as your synthesizer
Make sure to visualize the subject of your fantasy

That is how you make it
But get thee behind me
That is how you make it
But don't stand so--

Ultimately I made sure that I'd blend into furniture
My ego was the tarnished nickel of endless broken strings

Every greatest hits album has to have a song called "Don't Stand So Close to Me '86," right? I think it's the law.

This one is from an upcoming album tentatively entitled 99 that is going to have 99 super hits. I have a long way to go. Having a baby and a side hustle really limits one's ability to crank out super hits in the garage. But I'll persevere.
