I think of you
and then i think of me
and then i think of you
and then i think of me
and then i think i know
but then i know i don't
and then i think i should stop thinking
and go to sleep

i'm glad that i don't work at 9 to 5
and then i'm glad that i
don't work at 10 to 6
and then i'm glad that i
don't work at 11 to 7
and then i'm glad i don't work at 12 to 8

but i live
in my mom's and dad's house
with my little brother
bear spektor
bear spektor
bear spektor
bear spektor
bear spektor....

    General Comment:Do they actually mention the name of Bear Spektor in the acknowledgements of the Soviet Kitsch album?

    General Comment:hey, i read in the booklet for "far" that her brother's first name is "Borusch". (i lent it to a friend, so i don't have a way to spell-check. sorry if that's wrong!) before, i always wondered secretly if she made up "bear spektor", or if he were a teddy bear that she called her little brother, sort of an only-child sort of thing. Or maybe her parents are as quirly as Reg, and decided that Bear was the greatest name you could ever bestow upon your child. But now i see that it's just an awesome nickname that he probably goes by. But at least it's not on his birth certificate!

    Ah, yes, rambling, my old friend. I've missed you so...
    EDIT: well now i don't feel special-- just old light beat me to the punch. Two years ago. hm. well now you have double the support: the child's name is certanly not bear.

    anyway, adorable song. and @ fruition: You're making me sad! now whenever i hear that recording, i'm going to think she feels like crying! :-( oh well. i still love the song.

    last thing: i kind of agree with just old light (hello again!). i think this song was an effort to make a song just for Bear, and i find it hysterical that 1) she obviously runs out of things to say, 2) she remembers the stuff she was singing, even though it wasn't anything profound, and 3) she performed it for an audience! lol ok, well i'm going to stop talking now...

    My Interpretation:from the one recording I heard it always seems to me like even though she's laughing she's on the verge of crying because she misses and loves her brother so much. I know it's probably not true at all and more likely she's just giggling b/c it's a silly-albeit sweet- song.

    General Comment:ok. never mind. i did some extensive searching, and respektonline.com is probably the best site ive found with regina downloads, as far as having them all in one place goes. i havent looked too in-depth, but it seems to have probably most, if not all, of her songs. which is great, because frankly searching the internet for every new song i hear of gets a bit tiring!
