********A sad song about dreams of a lost love. And it's about cat puke. I really do love The Dead Milkmen.******** I had a dream you came back to my house You changed your mind I had a dream you came back to my house To spend some time You said you'd only stay a week You brought two cats for me to keep And told me not to feed them tuna or they'd throw up I fed them tuna and they threw up For hours and hours and hours and hours I was amazed at all the stuff That came from those little bodies of theirs It was puffy like a sponge The color of the sidewalk And it smelled like the dirty rags beneath the sink I had a dream you came back to my house And robbed me blind You took my stereo, CD's, and tapes and books You left nothing behind I woke up and you were next to me But I knew it was just a dream I woke up again, you were a thousand miles away
This song makes me kind of sad and I don't know why. When I listen to it, I feel like an old DM fan from the nineties remembering listening to it as a teenager, even though I;m only just a teenager now. It's hard to explain!
dude it's like being back in the earliest parts of the ninties. fucking amazing. makes one think of old times. good times. innocent times of childhood. i can still remember... walking up those stairs, the thick smell of hair dye and cheap booze, the sonic blast of guitars and the galloping thump of the drums. the friends and punk show buddies i just couldnt wait to see again and time again. i thought it would never end.
Aww...played this for my girls the other day. They were cracking up at the lyrics. I'm like, "yeah it's hilarious but don't discredit my youth man...errrrrr daughters, you!"
The first and last verse are the core of this song and stand alone very well. All the stuff in the middle is just filler about cat puke. Man I love the middle part!

Ween's Cameo in "It's Pat". watch it they have "how its gonna be" its like a double whammy of good. ween + the dead milkmen in the same scene = awesome.
etchkid I have the, if I had a gun ep casingle almost, but I never got a hard copy of whole album :(. but it had silly dreams. and since I've heard it, it had been one of my favorite songs .
You took my stereo, CDs, and tapes and books-you left nothing behind!(this is perfect metaphor for the feeling you get, when someone you love, truly screws you over).

I had a dream you came back to my house
You changed your mind
I had a dream you came back to my house
To spend some time
You said you'd only stay a week
You brought two cats for me to keep
And told me not to feed them tuna or they'd throw up
I fed them tuna and they threw up
For hours and hours and hours and hours
I was amazed at all the stuff
That came from those little bodies of theirs
It was puffy like a sponge
The color of the sidewalk
And it smelled like the dirty rags beneath the sink
I had a dream you came back to my house
And robbed me blind
You took my stereo, CD's, and tapes and books
You left nothing behind
I woke up and you were next to me
But I knew it was just a dream
I woke up again, you were a thousand miles away
I remember getting it on cassette when it came out. One of my favourites. Very underated song and album.
Dead Milkmen at their best, mixing beautiful melody and real emotion with ridiculous teenage humor. LOVE this song! ❤️ 🐄
Heartbreak hurts

Life is awesome at any age listening to Dead Milkmen! I'll make a playlist for ya, and call it oldsadrocker 😁
Remember when you made this post?
@@tartantiliaYou have a fascinating name. It's like Tantiana, Tartania and Tarantula rolled into one 😊
This song makes me so sad and happy at the same time
Underrated album
One of my all-time favorites. A powerful tune.
this album is remarkable.

This is pretty much the greatest song in the history of songs. In 25 years it has never ONCE failed to make me laugh.
This song makes me cry like a baby
Aww...played this for my girls the other day. They were cracking up at the lyrics. I'm like, "yeah it's hilarious but don't discredit my youth man...errrrrr daughters, you!"
Their antics and ridiculousness is what's so endearing about them, to me...
One of my favorite songs ever- so contemplative.
Thank you very much for this song. I haven't heard it since '94.
I woke up and you were next to me
But I knew it was just a dream
I woke up again, you were a thousand miles away...
The greatest lyrics ever written
Yeah and the saddest
I get all the feels listening to this. Just wanna give Joe a big hug.... he'd probably hate that actually
I'm not crying. You are.
The first and last verse are the core of this song and stand alone very well. All the stuff in the middle is just filler about cat puke. Man I love the middle part!
I had a dream you came back to my house
You changed your mind
I had a dream you came back to my house
To spend some time
I woke up and you were next to me
But I knew it was just a dream
I woke up again, you were a thousand miles away.
I had a dream you came back to my house
You changed your mind
I had a dream you came back to my house
To spend some time
You said you'd only stay a week
You brought two cats for me to keep
And told me not to feed them tuna or they'd throw up
I fed them tuna and they threw up
For hours and hours and hours and hours

I woke up and you were next to me
But I knew it was just a dream
I woke up again, you were a thousand miles away
I like to think this is their best song.
love this song, makes me think of one of my friends from middle school lol
Every time I reach beneath the sink for a rag, I think of this and cringe a bit when the smell hits me.
0:40 onward is like, the BEST grouping of lyrics I've ever heard. Holy shit, fucking amazing... I first heard that and I was like "WHAT THE FUCK!?"
This song has a beautiful melody.
Just a great song. Well written, with an amazing message at the end. Break ups suck!
"and it smelled like the dirty rags beneath the sink" such genius writting
it was puffy like a sponge, the color of a sidewalk, and it smelled!
don't feed the cat tuna...
Every time I hear the part about taking stereo cds tapes and books
I freak out
That would be a nightmare for me as I collect everything
What a bad ass song! Urgh why is it hard to get a hold of this album!
Ween's Cameo in "It's Pat". watch it they have "how its gonna be" its like a double whammy of good. ween + the dead milkmen in the same scene = awesome.
best ever dead milkmen album, cant find god's kid bro song in youtube
YES UPLOAD MORE FROM THIS ALBUM!
I forgot about this one and I had it.
Out of print?! Good thing I held onto mine...
etchkid I have the, if I had a gun ep casingle almost, but I never got a hard copy of whole album :(. but it had silly dreams. and since I've heard it, it had been one of my favorite songs .
Ebay baby! It was well worth it. This is my favorite DM album. Shaft in Greenland...
That's the best track on the album in my humble opinion.
i got the tape..but cannot find this one on cd....but this is the best dead milkmen album
The live version off the "If I Had a Gun" EP is much better! I can't find it on youtube.
I had a dream... you came back to my house. And robbed me blind!
You took my stereo, CDs, and tapes and books-you left nothing behind!(this is perfect metaphor for the feeling you get, when someone you love, truly screws you over).
i sing this song all the time when im in random places with random people..
@Yasminealamara Yes! So horribly underrated. God's Kid Brother's my favorite, surprising it's not anywhere here. Gonna do it myself.
i ordered this on cd a few months ago off interpunk
interpunk? Buah hahahaha!
@@sigsputnik1 interpunk is where i got a ton of cds and zines and shirts and posters in high school, they had a great selection, including alot of stuff it was hard to find anywhere else. I loved that site

@ivahnsean Amen
I need the tabs just cause more bands should cover this song
i had a dream you came back to my house, to spend some time...
This is fucking greeaaat.

This reminds me of a boy named Gilbert.
