'A year ago today, was when you went away....' This is a song of empty boasting from a guy pretending that he's got the upper hand on a girl when in reality he was dumped by her and a year later he's still going on about it. He creates a dream where he turns her away because she cheated and told lies about him. Poor guy.
Frank Zappa concocts a doo wop lounge experience as satirically amusing as the one I posted the other day, which was also from Freak Out! The spoken word sections are hilarious: I dig you, why don't you dig me?, I got my hair processed...let the tears fall down your dress, who cares if it makes a mess? A frickin brilliantly clever artist who surrounded himself with fantastic musicians, he really knew how to sock it to the mainstream and never worried about offending society's narrow-minded tastes.
