#CrashTestDummies #Afternoons&Coffeespoons
Lyrics:
What is it that makes me just a little bit queasy?
There's a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy
I've had my lungs checked out with X rays
I've smelled the hospital hallways
Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime
Times when the day is like a play by Sartre
When it seems a bookburning's in perfect order -
I gave the doctor my description
I tried to stick to my prescriptions
Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime
Afternoons will be measured out
Measured out, measured with
Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot
Maybe if I could do a play-by-playback
I could change the test results that I will get back
I've watched the summer evenings pass by
I've heard the rattle in my bronchi ...
Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime
Afternoons will be measured out
Measured out, measured with
Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot
(2x)

My brother was obsessed with this album. Later, my dad got really into this song as he was slowly dying from cancer. The ironic happy sound juxtaposed with the theme resonated with him, I think. Then my brother died 3 years later when COVID destroyed his lungs. Listening to this is bittersweet but it makes me feel close to them. Thanks for an incredible song.

If you haven't listened to this entire album, do yourself a HUGE favor and do it. I', a metal head, and when this was new my Uncle Grog (A biker in the VNVMC) gave me a cassette of the album, I bought it on CD after one listen and have been listening to it at least once a week, usually more, since then. SUCH an incredible album from "cover to cover" as my Uncle would say. Give it a swirl, you'd be happy you did!!!!

A friend of mine let me keep a CD of Siamese Dream that I had borrowed since he'd gotten another copy for Christmas. Thank God for the family member that gifted him another copy, I can't recall the number of times over the years when I wanted to be deluged by 90s nostalgia and popped in that CD. I still have that CD and the Crash Test Dummies album (plus numerous other 90s CDs). In the same 90s CD case no less. I believe the 90s can't fully be explained, only experienced.. but probably everyone feels that way about their childhood. Sorry for the ramble

This song is a hypochondriac anthem of sorts, with lead singer Brad Roberts singing about old age and a series of ailments. In a Songfacts interview with Roberts, he said: "'Afternoons & Coffeespoons' is a song about being afraid of getting old, which is a reflection of my very neurotic character. I have always been preoccupied with death. It's kind of a morbid preoccupation, I'll admit. I always struggled with severe clinical depression, suicidal thoughts, high anxiety levels - ever since I was a little kid. I got extremely good marks at school, but my emotional life was a wreck. And I don't think I understood that I had a psychiatric illness, I just was constantly terrified of things that nobody else seemed to be worried about, like my death."

It's so funny that you said the summer of 94. Man as Soon as I heard this start playing that's exactly where I went in my mind, that was a hell of a summer. I was 14 and I remember I lost my virginity that year lol. But I fell in love , got my heart broke and fell in love 2 more times that Summer. LMAO. It use to be so easy , but what I remember most is my parents helped me buy my first car. It was 78 Nova. But we paid 300 hundred for it and it needed a shit ton of work done to it. So I spent that whole summer working on it every chance I got. With a radio blasting. And I had this CD and Nirvana , Alice in chains , Pearl jam, and a bunch of others. But blasting music and getting greasy was my summer days. Man those days were fun LoL

I was a young adult when this hit, I used to cover it & think "such an upbeat delivery of a dark topic" as I sang away. Now as I'm nearer 50, playing it is a very different experience, with the realisation that, sooner or later, we'll all face a scenario like this one. Will we face it so brightly? We can hope so... ✌🙏

Huge cyst operations, kidney stones, migraines, exploding teeth, heart problems for a decade finally getting SERIOUS.😂 I had my lungs checked by X ray today, doc said, nah, it's the heart and it's pretty bad. I've seen a basement from the inside that you wouldn't want to see from the outside. My life has always been like that. So when the Grim Reaper shows up I'll just puff the smoke back and laugh in his face. I love this song.😂 That's the 90s vibe, baby.❤

I think those of us who grew up in the 90s have a special appreciation for irony. Music back then, especially 'college rock,' didn't take itself serious, probably because in retrospect the 90s felt like a much more innocent and less angry time (it was pre-9/11, the US wasn't embroiled in any long-term wars, the culture wars were some way from their peak, and most people seemed to like Clinton). Music was less earnest and less stupid.
