JAY: if something pisses me off, I write a song about it pretty much JAY: fav song? well, efren has this one song he wrote called Shattered In My Eyes. its really JAY: pretty. JAY: ever heard the song Pennyroyal Tea? Its a little like that. BRITT: i usually just listen to a song, steal a few of their lyrics and put something together that BRITT: doesn't even go with the song.. BRITT: i don't think i've heard that one...who'd it by? JAY: Nirvana BRITT: how does it go? i'm usually familiar with lyrics and artists than titles BRITT: ....(and now i got "the bitch song" stuck in my head) JAY: The chorus is "Sit and drink pennyroyal tea / I'm anemic royalty / I'm so tired I can't JAY: sleep / I'm a liar and a theif" BRITT: no clue.... JAY: It was never a single BRITT: that's probably why...i don't think i own any nirvana c.ds...it's more like ozzy BRITT: you like ozzy? JAY: yes ozzy good BRITT: my dad always said that when i was little they'd start playing ozzy and i'd be all happy, BRITT: then when they turned it off, i get all mad... JAY: You know, I better be going soon... :o( BRITTl: i find that hilarious BRITT: k...well, it's been nice talking to you.... JAY: remember: I'm the sexy one in the band. Really. I am.
