It Only Hurts When You Laugh
(Mark Chadbourne)

scat: doot doo doo hut
Doot uhuh ooh

And now you found your hands are free
After clutching on to each other
And smothering each other
And there's your hand
And there's your other hand
Still achy
Still empty
Trying to catch running water

What can I tell you?
Are there any kind words of comfort that I can give you
Now't you found your hands are free
This will only hurt for a little while
And only when you laugh
(doot doo doo dut
Doot uhoo ooh)
This will only hurt for a little while
And only when you laugh

So now you found your hands are free
After holding on tight
And smothering each other
And there's nothing up your sleeve
Still sad, though relieved to know
It was only consumption

What can I tell you?
Are there any kind words of comfort that I can give you
Now't you found your hands are free

This will only hurt for a little while
And only when you laugh
(doot doo doo dut
doot uhuh hoo mmm)
This will only hurt for a little while
And only when you laugh

What can I tell you?
Now you found your hands are free

This will only hurt for a little while
And only when you laugh
doot doo doo dut
Doo uhuh ooh-mmm)
This will only hurt for a little while
And only when you laugh
doot doo doo hut
Doot uhuh mmm hmm mmm
Doot uhuh huh..

Wanted to post a little something about this track since it's doing so well and into its second week @ #1.

I wrote this one on guitar back in the late 80s on a cold November day, in my place 12 floors up ont the Goldcoast overlooking Lake Erie and downtown Cleveland. I think Tom and I were messing around one afteroon with some other tracks and i played him the song and we ran the recorder hot off the floor. Sometime later, not sure when, Zav found the track, added some bass to it and asked me to do an overdub on the lead vocal and add some parts to it. It kinda just sat around for many many years, forgotten. Then Zav uncovered it when the Love Me Love My Crisis cd was remastered for CD and it was added as a bonus track. It was never really finished and i think the title went thru a bunch of changes. But when I was preparing tracks for Broken Meats, it was suggested i finish the track, and the rest is history so to speak.

I'm quite happy with it overall. It seems to hold up pretty well with time. And it fit right in with other stuff on Broken Meats. Thanks for the questions about the song and hope that satisified the curiosity.
