Title: Cork
Artist: Foibles
Album: Solid Rock Baptist Church Rummage Sale
Written by: Phil Dumesnil
Track twenty-three from Solid Rock Baptist Church Rummage Sale by Foibles, a San Francisco lo-fi band. A sad-sounding song about two best friends in school, who should probably be more than friends, but are just floating along instead.
Musically, the song is slow and melancholy, with a noisy acoustic guitar picking a gentle melody, the standard Foibles double-layered vocal, and an accordion playing the tune out to fade. This is the only completely sad song on the album, and makes for good contrast between the happy-go-lucky nonsense of Hilarical Burcept and the manic sarcasm of Theme Songs.
Cork
The weather seems fine
See the book-mobiles and blow
It's about time
It's 11:23
Bottles of wine
Throught the belly thread we go
Last one to sink is a row boat
Contest we stare
Whistle kissing through the class
Toes in the air
Dirty peek, ink in your shoes
You'd make a great pair
If only one of you would move
Last one to sleep is a milkweed
