I was fishin' by the side of the road,
Servin' up the bait for my lunch.
Along beside me came a brown horny toad,
Lookin' for some food he would munch.

So I grabbed the fish and tossed it in the lake,
Thinking he could eat what he earned.
And if I caught him I would cut him a break,
But if I didn't it was not my concern.

Jackpot!
And I got one.
Got me a sweet lookin' prize today,
Under the son of a gun it'll make you say,

Jackpot!
And I got an idea.
Got me a new kinda recipe,
I got the deal for the meal of the century.

I was walkin' by the side of the road,
Thinkin' I would cook me a meal.
Along beside me came a mad horny toad,
Lookin' for some food he would steal.

So I grabbed the fish and held it up high,
Knowin' toads are known for their jump.
then I looked the toad right in the thighs,
And noticed that they looked mighty plump.

Jackpot!
And I got one.
Got me a sweet lookin' prize today,
Under the son of a gun it'll make you say,

Jackpot!
And I got an idea.
Got me a new kinda recipe,
I got the deal for the meal of the century.

I was sittin' on a chair in my home,
Servin' up the legs for my friends.
(alternate on 9/9/99: Thinkin' about the legs of my friends)
They asked how I got chicken on such a small bone,
I told them it was simply a godsend.

The moral of the story is you don't ever know,
Who's going to want in on your fun.
And up to the porch came a guy I didn't know,
Offerin' up his money for some.

Jackpot!
And I got one.
Got me a sweet lookin' prize today,
Under the son of a gun it'll make you say,

Jackpot!
And I got an idea.
Got me a new kinda recipe,
I got the deal for the meal of the century.

The world around us is masked and disguised
Deciete and lies flying by
throw in the towel, buy another vowel, see you on the flip side

All this news, I can't handle without the booze
How can you tell, what's the truth and what's the flooze
Are we really livin' it day to day?
Someone said..

So let it out
But you're not in this alone
Let me be
To scream and shout

We can dance if we want to

We can leave your friends behind

'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance

Well, they're no friends of mine

Say, we can go where we want to

A place where they will never find

And we can act like we come from out of this world

Leave the real one far behind

And we can dance

(Dancé!)

We can go when we want to

The night is young and so am I

And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet

And surprise 'em with the victory cry

Say, we can act if we want to

If we don't, nobody will

And you can act real rude and totally removed

And I can act like an imbecile

And say, we can dance, we can dance

Everything's out of control

We can dance, we can dance

They're doing it from pole to pole

We can dance, we can dance

Everybody look at your hands

We can dance, we can dance

Everybody's taking the chance

Safety dance

Oh well, the safety dance

Ah yes, the safety dance

We can dance if we want to

We've got all your life and mine

As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it

Everything'll work out right

I say, we can dance if we want to

We can leave your friends behind

Because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance

Well, they're no friends of mine

I say, we can dance, we can dance

We're doing it from pole to pole

Above the waves, Going under

Corrinado swam like hell on fire
With jelly arms and beaten bones
He rode the crests, he broke the waves
Trying to get a breath of air for all that he had left to save

Mulberry let the engines burn
The airship lifting off the ground
He watched the sea, could not believe
That he thought Corrinado could be free, his life was now in vain

All was left one chance to fly away
He spun, he heard a gasping sound
But he did not see his friend

After the sun and light were gone
Before he found himself at home
Corrinado swam, fought the waves
Remembering when, a myriad of falls, behind another day

All was left one chance to fly away
just beyond his reach the plan
To reunite them once again

Caught in the waves as the wind whipped on
and the sand sat calmly miles below
He had to swim, to take the day
Hoping to see Mulberry when he crawled to reach his getaway

All was left one chance to fly away
Just beyond his reach the plan
To reunite them once again

(repeat once, then play the part before that again)

Then, on the first (above the waves....) play a
B major on the 7th fret on every 3rd beat. and a C# major > B major at the
last (above the waves....).
On the next time around, instead of playing the B on every 3rd beat, it
goes B > E, B > E alternating every other 3rd beat, until the last (above
the waves...) where its a G#m > F# major.
(If all this details just confuses you, just listen to a tape and listen
for the chord changes.:)

then the song drops into F#m, where Jon comes in with this riff.

(now, after the jam, when it comes back into this section, you're
basically playing the same thing as above, until right before the D-A-G-A
part, where you play over these chords: F#m F Bb E A. After the last A, it
goes into the D-A-G-A.)

This is a simple D, A, G progression. Play the D on the 5th fret, the A
also on the 5th, and the G on the 3rd. Figure out the rhythm and all that
for yourself, cause its pretty simple. :)

Ok, the next part comes right after that last A chord. (..and he could not

","atw",11,"

Debuted at the tail end of 1998, Waves is one of the final songs of the Hot Air Balloon rock opera (third to last by debut order and second to last chronologically). Like most of the opera, it is a high water mark for the band both lyrically and compositionally. It is also the first Biscuits song to debut with a defined trance jam. Both versions from 1998 are remarkably strong.\r

Although it was one of the last Hot Air Balloon songs to debut, with the finished version first appearing 12/29/98, an instrumental passage that would later be incorporated into Waves was performed as Road Song four times in 1998, for the first time on 2/21/98 and as late as 6/4/98. All four versions were played before any song from the finalized opera had debuted. \r

Waves was the most played song in 1999, a year which saw the band continue to develop and use Waves in inventive ways. The song was split up for the first time the third time it was played, 1/18/99, in a spectacular Waves > Vassillios > Waves sandwich. It was performed dyslexic for the first time on 3/21/99 (Waves > Run Like Hell is particularly worth hearing) and inverted for the first time at the first Camp Bisco on 8/21/99 (the entire Shimmy > Waves (><) > Shimmy is worthwhile, but Waves > Shimmy is especially excellent).\r

The song was a massive vehicle for high speed trance jams in the winter and spring of 1999, with numerous standout versions including the 35 minute juggernaut from 2/3/99. Other excellent versions from this era include 3/13/99, 3/27/99, 4/9/99, 5/1/99, 5/6/99 and 6/5/99. In the summer and fall, the song regularly began to feature a dub jam. Waves had incorporated dub jams before, notably on 2/3/99 and 2/20/99, but after the inverted version from 8/21 it became a mainstay. Some excellent versions from this era include 8/21/99, 9/14/99, 10/9/99 and 10/22/99.\r

Waves remained a strong jam vehicle through the rest of 1.0. In 2000, a year with considerable dub influence, Waves reverted back to a trance vehicle. It soon became one of the most frequently inverted songs. 10/14/00 is one of the strongest inverted versions ever, and 11/2/01 notably opened with a “Koyanisqaatsi Jam” > inverted Waves, the first time a show opened with a jam into an inverted song. Important versions from post-1999 1.0 are multitudinous, including 10/14/00, 10/26/00, 11/2/00 12/27/00, 4/7/01, 4/28/01, 9/1/01, 11/2/01, 3/8/02, 10/2/02, 8/15/03, and 11/26/03. \r

When Allen joined the band, Waves remained a rotation staple and an important jam vehicle. On 11/8/06, the audience voted for a Waves encore; this was the first time a standalone Waves was played in the encore slot. There aren’t many standout versions from the year, but 11/19/06 with Magellan teases, and the fantastic Waves/Crickets mashup from 12/30/06 (the first setlist written by Allen, and what a setlist it is), are both standout versions. Similarly, for being such a strong year for the band, 2007 has something of a dearth of excellent Waves. 5/20/07 stands above the rest, but the song was grossly underutilized in 07.\r

The lull continued into 08, with a few uninspired ending only versions at the beginning of the year, before a massive exploratory inverted version on 3/22/08 in Denmark. The April shows at the Nokia saw the first split inversion of Waves, with the middle played on 4/11/08 and the ending and beginning played on 4/12/08. After only one performance between April and December, Waves closed out the year strong, with two stellar performances at Holidaze (12/14/08) and the Nokia (12/28/08).\r

The momentum built at the end of 2008 continued into 2009, easily the strongest year for Waves in a decade. It was often played middle only, including such standout performances as 1/31/09, 2/13/09, 2/27/09, and, most significantly, 4/24/09, 6/4/09, and 12/31/09.\r

Waves remained a regular in the rotation through the rest of 2.0 and the setbreak era (appearing 2-6 times per year). In 2015, Waves was played as a split inversion again for the first time since 09, and was played that way off and on for the next couple of years. It hit another period of growth in 2016, with standout versions from 3/26/16 and 7/15/17.\r

In the post-setbreak years, Waves continued its upward trajectory, appearing 8 times in 2021 and 2022 and 10 times in 2023 (the most appearances in a single year since 2010). The 2021 versions are particularly strong, with the fall seeing a return to the looser, dubby style in which the song was played in fall 1999. The 9/19/21 version features a distinct Gamma Goblins jam (complete with Alan Watts samples) and 11/21/21 is perhaps the best standalone version played with Allen.\r

Waves has remained a staple of the band’s catalog since its debut. It was played on average every 2.6 shows in 1999, and never left the catalog for more than 23 shows, when Barber broke his wrist in 2010. The longest gap otherwise was 21 shows in 2013.\r

Once again, this tab is for bass, but the same melody is played on guitar
and piano. You can play it as written on guitar, but I'm sure it'd be the
wrong octave. If you really want to play it and can't find a good
position on the guitar, write me and I'll suggest somethin.

This is the theme to the ending instrumental thingee, _Flight of the Hot
Air Balloon,_ if you will.

We always fear the biggest things,
But I like the silence fearsome presence brings.
You shiver down under the skies you built,
But lucky me I've got a catapult.

I've got to go.

I just looked north and not thinking twice,
I land on my feet knee deep in the ice.

And then it's all clear.
And then it's all right.
I'll let myself go.
And swim in the ice.

And then I'll be free.
Exposed in the light.
I can feel myself go.
Headfirst through the ice.

Down in the sprawl, it just seems so far.
But i feel the floes when i drive in my car.
Up on the mountain where the sea is space,
To live in the vacuum of this perfect place.

Of us lined up for that hole in the sky
Pop quiz, Dolly didn't believe
Her plan, to nap through class is denied

From this point you can either noodle around on the A-minor scale or
try something like this, just make sure and tremolo pick the notes
starting on the 18, this is the buildup that leads into the \\\"suspended in the air\\\"
part of the song.

Here is a lot of the basic riffs Barber plays during the \\\"trancier\\\" part of the song.

E phrygian, if you want to play along with the bassline just play E-minor and F-major.
Barber plays these off a scale starting at the 12th fret, but i like to play them in this position.

This leads back into the main riff of the song, back into a chorus, and then an ending.","astro","

Astronaut was debuted at the unannounced Boom Boom Room show on 8/8/01, along with Coat. Instrumentally, this version does not differ much from modern versions, but the lyrics bear little resemblance to the finished song. The basic structure of the first half of the song is the same as modern versions, two intro riffs, verse-chorus-verse-chorus, a peak, and a bridge consisting of a simple descending/ascending riff. In the first version, the bridge (commonly known as the Suspended in the Air, or SITA, section) is followed by a third verse. The chorus is not repeated, and the song ends rather abruptly without a jam.

The second version of Astronaut is nearly three times as long as the first. It was played at the band’s final show at the Wetlands Preserve, on 9/2/01. It is a considerably tighter version, and the new lyrics are much closer to finalized (they would remain largely unchanged throughout the rest of the year). After the SITA section, the band plays the peak section again (although Barber doesn’t play the peak in this version, he does in others), then an extended jam that returns to the peak. The band attempts to return to a final chorus after the second peak, but there is considerable confusion and this second version is aborted.

Astronaut was arguably played a third time on 9/9/01, although this is almost never counted. As Spacebirdmatingcall ends, a definite SITA jam is used to segue into House Dog Party Favor. Although this isn’t counted as a performance of Astronaut, it is fairly significant as the first jamming on the SITA section. Astronaut was played another ten times in 2001. Of these, seven had outro jams, with the band dropping back into a SITA-esque jam immediately following the closing chords.

After its performance over the 2001 New Year’s run, Astronaut was not played again until 4/4/02, as the first part of the encore. Here the lyrics are roughly 99% identical to modern versions, and the main jam develops more organically out of the SITA section (the “peak section” that the band would play after SITA is dropped). This is arguably the first split Astronaut, but the Peter Gunn in the Astronaut jam is sometimes notated as a tease. The first split Astronaut otherwise was begun on 8/9/02 and was finished on 8/11/02, and the first (and for years only) inverted Astronaut was 10/23/02. The 2001 style Astronaut outro was played a couple times in Spring 02, but after 5/1/02 it was retired.

Throughout the Sammy years, Astronaut remained a fairly regular staple in the catalog. Its most common year was 2002 when it appeared on average once every five shows. Astronaut was known for mellow housey jams, although the Sammy years produced some monster versions. 10/5/02 is usually considered the best of this, and perhaps of any, era. 9/19/01 is a significantly exploratory early version, and 4/18/03 is excellent as well, spawning a passage of gorgeous blissco that evolves to a triumphant inverted Confrontation. 5/31/03 saw the return of the outro jam, though played differently (without the SITA section) than it was in 01-02, and 7/25/03 is a unique version that is split up between the first and second verse.

After 2003, Astronaut became less common, and was only played six more times with Sammy in 2004-2005. 10/1/04, though nothing special musically, is significant as the first to be split up in the SITA section. 3/25/05 features the first substitution of “Yo Girl You Crazy” for “Take Me Too” in the chorus, but 8/26/05 is probably the best from this era, especially for the excellent outro jam into Stone (significant as both the first modern Astronaut outro and the only real jam into Stone).

When Allen joined the band, Astronaut was given a fresh start, and was played considerably more frequently: from 2006-2009, Astronaut was played on average once every 5-6 shows, or about as frequently as it was played in 2002. The spacey electronic style of 06-07 Biscuits proved fertile ground for the development of the SITA section as a jam vehicle, and pretty soon Astronaut was a two jam song.

Astronaut was one of the stronger songs in Allen’s early repertoire, with standout versions as early as 4/27/06 and 5/28/06. The fall of 2006 was a particularly strong tour for Astronaut. Important versions include 11/4/06 (featuring a powerful main jam and an even stronger outro jam into a Moshi Fameus drum section), 12/7/06 (the second inverted version, and first in over four years) and, most importantly, 11/19/06.

Astronaut reached its zenith in the peak years of 2.0, 2007-2009. After consistently strong versions in the early part of the year, particularly 7/8/07 (a 22 minute standalone if you include the hypnotic intro jam), the band took Astronaut to a new level on 10/9/07, with a spectacular 30+ minute version. Widely considered one of the best ever, the 10/9/07 Astronaut elevated the song to a new level, and landmark versions were performed on 11/1/07 (another best ever contender), 10/26/07 (spicy full version with a powerful main jam) and 10/19/07 (the third inverted version).

2008 was a little more hit-or-miss for Astronaut, but still produced some more than solid versions. 3/19/08 features the first ever three part Astronaut, evidence of the tremendous development of the SITA section as a jam vehicle during the Allen years. Easily the most significant Astronaut of 2008 is the monstrous 30+ minute standalone that opened the day set of Camp Bisco VII on 7/19/08. Universally acclaimed, this Astronaut features two extended and thematic jams, and is considered by many to be the finest Astronaut ever played. A strong dyslexic version at Holidaze, on 12/12/08 and 12/14/08, and its use as the countdown on 12/31/08, cemented 2008 as an important year for Astronaut.

Along with fall tour 2007, the other contender for the strongest era for Astronaut is 2009. Astronaut was solid for the whole year, but was especially strong in the spring and summer. In this era the SITA jam took on a life as its own; previously relegated to mellow and spacey type one status, the SITA jam was by the middle of the year capable of producing type two ragers. The SITA jam section became so strong that Astronauts split in the SITA section became more common than Astronauts split the traditional way: beginning with 4/20/09, of the eight split Astronauts of the year, five are split at the SITA jam. The whole year produced significant Astronauts, such as 2/14/09, 2/28/09, 9/17/09, 9/26/09 and 10/8/09; however, it is the Astronauts from spring and summer, such as 4/3/09 (notable mainly for the SITA jam), 4/20/09, 6/4/09 and 6/27/09, that are worth checking out.

After a few immensely strong years, the star of Astronaut began to fade in 2010 and 2011, when it became more of a rarity (played on average once every 7 shows in 2010 and once every 10-11 shows in 2011). Although it was never shelved, Astronaut’s longest gaps from the rotation occurred in this era, when it wasn’t played for twenty shows between 6/5/10 to 9/8/10 and 12/27/10 to 7/2/11. September 2010 featured a particularly interesting version in which the beginning and end were played on 9/8/10 and were “completed” by a performance of the SITA section on 9/11/10. The version from Camp Bisco X on 7/8/11, which bookends a large palindrome set, is worth checking out as well.

Astronaut became more of a frequent setlist staple in the destination era. In 2017, Astronaut was played a whopping seven times, or on average once every 4-5 shows (making 2017 the year Astronaut was played most frequently), but in 2018 Astronaut was played only three times, or on average once every 12-13 shows (making 2018 the year Astronaut was played the least frequently). The 2017 versions, particularly 2/3/17 and 5/26/17, are standouts from the setbreak era, and 11/2/18, while notably sloppy, features a great theme that builds to the ending. 2019 features a few unique uses of Astronaut, including 1/25/19 and 7/20/19 where parts of Astronaut were "mashed up" with other songs, and one version, 12/27/19, that is considered among the best versions of the decade.
