Two Headed Boy Liner Note Lyrics

[themanwhodied]

Hi,

First post here. I've had a search around but can't find the answer to here goes:

In my copy of 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' the lyric sheet in the liner notes to Two Headed Boy Pt. 1 has an extra verse of lyrics that isn't sung (but could go where Jeff does the 'dee, dee dee' bit). It starts 'oh sister...' Have these lyrics ever been sung live or in alternative versions of the song? If not, does anybody know why are they there?

I believe that they're the lyrics to the song "oh sister" just kinda stuck in there. I don't have the liner with me right now, but it seems like a decent bet that that's what it is.
The whole liner notes for Aeroplane are filled with little eccentricities, like when he explians about Jesus Christ being a white light at the beginning of King of Carrot Flowers pt. II.

Ah, good stuff. Thinking about it, this would make total sense seeing as it begins 'oh sister' (duh to me!). I guess the way to solve it would be to download a version of 'oh sister'. I know these pages are filled with 'where can I get' but is there a studio version or do I just get one of the live ones that are kicking around t'internet?

Dude, Hype....you have ICQ? I didn't even know that thing was still around. Crazy...

oh sister fits w/ the speed of the strumming of two...pt. 1, so oh sister could have ended up after two...pt.1. maybe the fool was put there as a red herring sorts. oh sister shares also shares a progression w/ aeroplane, the Em, C, G, D bridge. that stuff seems really common in jeff's writing and really fits w/ him saying he writes long songs and then breaks them up. i.e. Song against sex, you've passed, pts.1&2, someone is waiting. -two headed boy pt.2 , holland 1945, communist daughter ( all share the G, D, C bit) - gardenhead, april 1st, (more robert than jeff) - baby for pree, where you'll... etc.

I was seriously beginning to doubt your integrity with all the ICQ jazz...

Yeah Oh Sister has the Oh Comely lyrics with the Aeroplane Over the Sea chords, that's my favorite part.
