lyrics

You glanced at me as we strolled 'round the garden.
We laughed and joked about the nature of carbon.
Let me say hats off to Mr Darwin.
You always were the guilty one.

But this is strictly extracurricular.
Before I never had the nerve to correct ya.
But I know for years you thought my name was Thelma.
And I know that you’re the guilty one.

Daphne used to tell me that men won't make passes,
At nerdy girls like me when I’m wearing glasses.
To me those guys are all just fuckin' asses.
I’m sure that you’re the guilty one.

Between your lies the turbulence will flow.
And things are never clear because you say they’re so.
I may not quite be an Inspector Columbo,
But you are the guilty one.

Alan Jenkins: Guitar, "Dick-Dale-on-Acid" solo
Geraldine McKewen: Violin
Steven Plesiosaur: Drums
Yukio Yung: Vocals, Bass, Piano, Vibes, Strings, "Santana" solo
