Paid up weathered and type-o,
Clad in gladstone watch him go,
Swimming beneath the microscope.
Hello lonely bless the nation.
Mr. skip to all or none,
Wooden soldiers fall upon,
Try to find what makes her tick,
While their finding out what makes them sick.

I don't know where you find your nerve,
I don't know how you choose your words,
Speak the ones that suit you worse,
Keep you grounded, sad and cursed,
Circle the ones that come alive,
Save them for the Best of Jill Hives.

Been around and left you flat,
Tragically decided that,
Every child of god's a brat,
And she's dying to escape them.
But do we really need to see,
All her punchdrunk history,
And which of it might hold the key
For the exit to her destiny.

I don't know where you find your nerve,
I don't know how you choose your words,
Speak the ones that suit you worse,
Keep you grounded, sad and cursed,
Circle the ones that come alive,
Save them for the Best of Jill Hives.
Number one in all our souls,
Trifle in the crystal bowl,
Fill it up with 9 to 5,
Save them for the Best of Jill Hives.

Good song though! Come play Denver GBV!Flagwhoshaton August 11, 2011 LinkNo RepliesLog in to reply There was an error.0General Comment:This is the only thing I could find about it. An interview with the lead singer:

Kurt: on the song the Best of Jill Hives who is Jill Hives?

Bob: Jill Hives is not a real person. I was having my muffler fixed on my car and I was sitting in the waiting room with some people watching television so I played this game I play sometimes when I cant quite hear what people are saying, Ill start writing what I think theyre saying. There was a soap opera on the TV called the Best of Our Lives and I must of thought they were saying the Best of Jill Hives.Flagtheflyawayhairon June 07, 2008 LinkNo RepliesLog in to reply There was an error.0General Comment:I love this song but...does anyone know what it means??Flagcecilyon September 18, 2007 LinkNo RepliesLog in to reply There was an error.0General Comment:what gives i totally commented on this song a long time ago lol....?FlagSearchin4AnimalChinon September 17, 2004 LinkNo RepliesLog in to reply There was an error.
