There is a rather interesting story pertaining to the origin of this song
(not really interesting, just odd)
Well, Back in January of my Junior year, my American Literature teacher, Mrs.Brett
(best teacher ever),
assigned us the book, The Great Gatsby to read by the end of the month.After
class she held a group of 5 students after class to discuss something.My friend
Ryan & I were a part of that group, she said that the 5 of us were the
most creative people in all of her classes and that instead of taking the
test on The Great Gatsby like everyone else had to we could write a song or
poem, not perform it necessarily, and that would be our test grade.She had
originally planned on all of us being one big group, but because of some tension
between the 5 of us we split up, Ryan and I in one group, the other group
consisting of the local punk band Gelastic.We all decided to perform the song,
Gelastic took the easy approach, videotaping their's, using a song that already
had music, just writing appropriate lyrics to coincide with the book.Ryan
and I took the hard road....renting a 4 track recorder, coming up with original
lyrics and music and recording the song.Being that Ryan and I can't sing to
save our lives we got his girlfriend Chrissie to sing for us (she has the
most incredible voice I've ever heard).Needless to say the recording process
was a pain in the ass, but we eventually got it done within 2 weeks time,
not bad for a couple amateurs huh?Anyways, the band name, Orgasmic Apples
came from Chrissie, we were riding to the studio one night and we went past
a health food store and on the sign was the words "Organic Apples",
well Chrissie replaced Organic with Orgasmic and the rest is history.The following
are the lyrics to the song "Squash" we wrote, theres no meaning
for that title, just the first thing that popped into my mind that night,
what can I say, I was stoned.Hope you enjoy, I may put the actual music on
here as well so if you're interested keep checking back! **Mark**
I'm always the middle man
I hide the truth as best I can
I just want everybody to know
The truth
Daisy cheats
and Tom beat's on his wife
Mr.Wilson's really mad
and Mrs. Wilson's really sad
Nick is a trusted friend
Though he doesn't understand
why all his friend's are so misleading
and Gatsby's in the pool bleeding
I'm tired of your cheating all the time
and tired of hearing all your lies, it's Tom I despise
pretty soon you'll make me insane
with all the pain
you've caused me
you've got me in tears
I'm having lot's of fun
though it's not with my significant-one
I hope Tom doesn't find out
about me running about
I just want this to end
I'm sick of losing all my friend's
Is it Gatsby, is it Tom?
which one do I love?
which one do I not?

Love come's and love goes
but for eight long years
I've loved her and it show's, in my heart
you might say I'm obsessed
but I think I've been blessed
with a second chance
to have that one romance
with the girl of my dreams
you don't know how much this mean's to me
to finally be with her
