The second song on Phish's 2000 album Farmhouse bears a resemblence to songs like Limb by Limb and Ghost from their previous album, The Story of the Ghost. The up-tempo feel, the simple four-chord vamp in a staggering rhythm, and the silly "Woo!" shouts during the chorus make this an ample starting point for a second-set jam live, but on Farmhouse, as a studio track, it falls a little flat. Perhaps it's the short and almost vacant lyrics--if there were more silliness or more meaning in these words, or even a more creative, intense jam, I'd recognize it as Phish. Sadly, it's almost a throwaway track on the album; I recommend picking up a live cut of it and crossing your fingers.
Lyrics:
{whispered and mumbled}
doom, doom, doom, tomb...
boom, boom, boom, hum...
I spoke your name for many days
Pronouncing it in several ways
--Ah!
I spoke your name for many days
Pronouncing it
in several ways
And moving letters all around
And substituting every sound
And when you heard the end result,
I told you
it was not my fault:
If you were here more of the day,
It wouldn't twist around that way.
Woo!
{jam, with various overlaps of:}
Wouldn't twist around
(wouldn't twist around)
that way: Woo!
(wouldn't twist around)
{over party noises, laughing, and fading jam, Trey sings alone:}
wouldn't twist around,
wouldn't twist around,
wouldn't twist around,
wouldn't twist around,
wouldn't twist around,
wouldn't twist around,
wouldn't twist around,
wouldn't twist around...
