Normal Pie Blues was recorded in 1989 at a friend's house. Admittedly, it's a pretty dark song. But, truth be told, I suppose I wasn't an especially sunny person back then.

Anyway, also around that point, I began favoring raw performance over studio production, a preference I still have today. Perhaps that's what eventually cheered me up..?

Normal Pie Blues

words/music by J. Hart, © 1989

Ever since I can remember
You never had any soul
But it never seemed to matter
Never mattered much at all

And you always seemed so normal
You're just one fat juicy slice of normal pie
Now you're acting suicidal
Ain't gonna just stand here and watch you die

   I know what you're thinking
   I see through your facade
   I know you think you're Jesus
   But I think I'm God

   And it's all over baby
   I'm going to get you when you die
   You're going to see things clearly now
   My little slice of normal pie

I never understood you
Nor anything about you
But I couldn't help but love you
And everything about you

All you need is a little spirit
And maybe I got some I can sell
If you want it you just take it
And you can pay me back in hell
