Oooh!!! I just found a great recording of one of my favorite Lemonheads’ songs. It’s called The Outdoor Type. I spent a lot of time in Missoula, Montana where most of the population is bent on convincing you of their prowess in the wild. Many of them certainly couldn’t rub two sticks together to start a fire. I think Tom Morgan must have met similar people to come up with such amusing lyrics:
always had a roof above me - always paid the rent - and I never set foot inside a tent - couldn’t build a fire to save my life - I lied about being the outdoor type - I never slept out underneath the stars - the closest that I came to that was one time my car broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night - I lied about being the outdoor type - too scared to let you know - you knew what you were looking for - I lied until I fit the bill - god bless the great indoors - I lied about being the outdoor type - I never owned a sleeping bag let alone a mountain bike - I can’t go away with you on a rock climbing weekend - what if something’s on TV and it’s never shown again - It’s just as well I’m not invited I’m afraid of heights - I lied about being the outdoor type - never learned to swim, can’t grow a beard or even fight - I lied about being the outdoor type.
