Lyrics   status: unconfirmed

Here we go to another candle I know
All the girls there playing on a jelly roll

Time to take a ride
Time to take it in a midnight eye
And if you wanna go
Get on below
Pinkin' out the day
Dreamin' out the crazy way
Finger on the love
It's all above

Everywhere it's six-sex-six by luck
The satellite wish will make it just enough
You be makin' out with a witch in a coffee truck

Time to rock the road
And tell the story of the jelly rollin'
Dirty boots are on
Hi-de-ho
Pinkin' out the black
Dreamin' in a crack
Satan got her tongue
Now it's undone

I got some dirty boots
Yeh dirty boots
I got some dirty boots, baby
Dirty boots
Hey!

NOTES:

  • "Dirty Boots" 8-track demo recorded in November 1989 @ Waterworks in NYC.
  • 2 edits were included on the official Goo Demos release. One includes the entire instrumental outro, one is cut short immediately after the "got some dirty boots" refrain.
  • The long version appeared on the Disappearer single as "Dirty Boots (8 Track Demo Version-Long Version)". The short version appears on the Personality Crisis flexi 7" released in Sassy magazine.
  • The Waterworks demos were all remixed by Jim O'Rourke & SY for the 2005 Goo deluxe reissue. In many cases, the difference is significant. This mix contains an additional cock rock reprise of the riff after the song is finished, that was not present on the original 'Goo Demos'.
