about
The song is about trying to stay on the bright side when all around is dark, but also allowing yourself to switch sides.
lyrics
I am an eternal optimist.
Something like a freakin’ love octopus.
Eight arms to hold you.
Eight arms to knock you out!
When you think you’ve seen it all before,
everything and everyone’s at war.
And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again, drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
I look to the side that’s brighter.
Apparently I’m an octopus fighter.
It’s not my nature,
it’s nature’s way out!
When you think you’ve seen it all before,
everything and everyone’s at war.
And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again, drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
I am an eternal optimist.
Something like a freakin’ love octopus.
Eight arms to hold you.
Eight arms to knock you out!
DRAG!!!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
And everything is such a drag!
Draggermost, sad almost.
Drag!
Sad again drag again.
Drag, Drag! We gonna be ok?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
HEY! Hey!
Hey! Hey!

I can’t even begin to express how much I love this. I’m in 90s heaven! My favorite Pixies song covered by my favorite singer of my favorite band! I can’t! clafontant
Reminds us that rock ‘n roll was invented by and for kids for pleasure. Great fun, like a cross between The Nerves and The Ramones. Radio Free Americana
Buoyant one-off release from a long-running Atlanta band who juggle garage rock, folk, and power pop; don't miss the Mark Morrison cover. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 9, 2024
I love Tanya from her Belly stuff, mainly the 2nd album...plus Pretty Deep, etc. but to hear this cover of the 80’s classic by Vince & Alison was just too delicious James Ingles
