Lyrics:Trash Can (band demo) [Version (a)]:
Keep that light shining
Keep that light bulb bright
Keep that fish coming
We ain't got all night
Pontiac in the driveway
Man in the kitchen
?? all around you
Give you a ??
See that flag flying
You never treat me right
I'll go away forever
I'll go down the road
I ain't got nobody
I ain't got no dope
I don't give a shit now
I just walk the road
Someone pick me up now
Someone treat me right
I just walk the highway
I just walk all night
Keep that...
Keep that light so bright
Keep that bulb
Trash Can (solo demo) [Version (b)]:
Keep that light bulb burning
Keep that light bulb bright
Cadillac in the driveway
I ain't got all night
Keep that bird a-comin'
Keep that bird a-comin'
Keep that bird comin'
I ain't got all night
Cadillac in the driveway
See that glass flyin'
See that glass flyin'
Rainin' down all night
Trash can
The Song:There are two recordings of "Trash Can" available. Both are on the 1992 Demo Tape.
The first is just Steve Hanft and an acoustic guitar. I do not believe Beck is on it, though there seems to be some effects involved (distorted background voices?), and I'm certain that's Beck at the very end saying "trash can" for whatever reason.
The second version is a fuller band demo by Loser, a band with Beck and Steve Hanft. They expand the lyrics from the bluesy structure into one of more punk build-up. There is a nice guitar bridge, and of all the metal Loser demos, this song is one of the more accomplished.
