I feel irresponsible for not paying more attention to the garden
I worry about what that says about me
I'm Stephin Merritt, and this is my house
My house in L.A. was pink when I bought it
So, I painted this one the same color pink
And then I found the dollhouse in...
pretty much the same color pink
a little darker
Been doing dusty things so, I'm gonna sneeze, first of all
I have a pretty eclectic sense of decor
I wouldn't say that I have any particular rules
only the old William Morris idea
that everything should be either functional or beautiful
The socks are organized
They have discontinued my underwear
which is American Apparel
The website is no longer selling the brown ones
I have brown eyes and brown hair, so it works well for me
I suppose if I had blue eyes, I might wear blue instead
Moved around all the time when I was a child
so, I really like having a house
that I can fill with stuff, which is the total opposite
of my childhood
Fuzzy stuff
Things that you have to dust, things that say
"I couldn't possibly be a hotel room"
I have a lot of books
and then I have a lot of instruments
I have a lot of records
They're playing their favorite game
Bitey-Face
I don't think anyone wins
It's like nuclear war
So, I have all these mirrors in here, and one thing important for me
is that you "not" be able to see yourself, while you're sitting on the toilet
And in here, we have the science fiction hallway
This is "Little Fuzzy" which, I haven't finished reading yet
This is where I like to frighten the dogs
Pretty in charge of what's happening in here, except I never dust
Swords, just in case there's a burglar who wants to have a sword fight
This is one of these. I am very bad at this
I was raised by wolves, basically, so I don't know anything about cooking
I have dog treats!
The real purpose of the kitchen is to contain the dog treats
We think he's innocent, he looks innocent
"OR"
When the song is written, and I'm adding stuff for fun
I recall my helpful little motto "OR," it's done
Next time I paint my house, I don't know what color I'll paint it
But it won't be military olive drab
