Stormy Pinkness (live in Berlin 1989)

Lyrics

[You are great!] [Intro: John Flansburgh & John Linnell] Um, this next song, um, involves stomping on the part of the audience. Uh, it's a love song. The song is called "Stormy Pinkness," it's in 3/4 time, don't let that fool you. It's a waltz time, choose your partner, and stomp along This is the tempo, like this. Stomp on- what's the floor made of, anyway, is it wood? Rubber? Right. So, you have to stomp extra hard. Why don't you shout the word "love" while you stomp? Love! Love! Love! Love! I can hear the women shouting but I can't hear any of the men [Verse 1: John Linnell] Stormy pinkness Human weakness Fills my Johnny cup with gloom Your progression My digression Forty days this afternoon The things we cherish are small indeed So much the larger the need Stormy pinkness Set me thanklessly free [Outro: John Linnell & John Flansburgh] Danke schön! Thank you!
