about

Not a lot to write about this one that hasn't already been written in the liner notes for the version of "Insufficient Funds" found on my 2004 release, "October Surprise."

I'm pretty sure this isn't the drum guitar you hear, but several pieces of percussion that I had at the time: a small african hand drum, a bizarre little brass cymbal tree, and some wood clinker sticks, and a shaker pick. I'm betting this was the track that the drum guitar broke down on for the final time and so I made other arrangements.

lyrics

"Insufficient Funds"
(vonHummer)
I'll stay, if you want me to stay and share my insufficient funds, I'll go if you want me to go and take my insufficient funds,

No there's no place for the root of evil to grow if I stay stuck and stick with what i know I know: money talks, bullshit walks, but beggars and goldiggers run from insufficient funds,

My trick: pick a card any card has insufficient funds, vanish when the waitress returns with insufficient funds,

I’m so full of love, credit checks won’t go thru, if you think you might want me to get fiscal with you, a penny saved is a penny earned, when pennies cause me concern, it’s insufficient funds…

If ever anyone had it all, they'd be carefree like me, mother theresa and all the young nuns, like atila and all the young huns, freedom's just another word for insufficient funds…

It's true, I got nothing but love and insufficient funds, Sheepish grins, jack benny jokes, and insufficent funds ,

So take my all if nothing's nothing to you, a wealth of good lovin' work wonders for you, the poor God blessed, well more or less, at least articulate ones with insufficient funds…

No even a broken clock is right twice a day, so, broke as I am, maybe someday I'll pay? That'll be the day and twenty-one guns will thunder to salute the bitter end of insufficient funds...
