I downloaded it last night since I just have the regular version of Blood Cells. I was all set to argue but damn, I think you're on to something.

The first time in a long time a song has made me drop my jaw at how utterly fucking cool it is.

you are correct, I had an mp3 of it way before white blood cells was released. I don't know the exact 7", but oh well.

Maybe if I pray every, each night I sit there pleading
"Send back my dream test baby, she's my main feature"
My T V C one five, he, he just stares back unblinking
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five
One of these nights I may just
Jump down that rainbow way, be with my baby, then
We'll spend some time together
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five
My baby's in there someplace, love's rating in the sky
So hologramic, oh my T V C one five

and for those who wonder lyrix for "Hand Springs";

I took my girl to go bowling downtown at the red door
after and argument I started cause I thought she didn't like me anymore
I can't help it sometimes i feel pitiful
and of course she's so young and beautiful
bought us two glasses of coke
thats her favorite and I wanted to make up for earlier
But I dropped her glass and it broke
so I just gave my glass to her
She laughed and so did I in our lane
then she went to the vending machine to buy a candy cane
but next to that was a boy I knew with a spring in his hand
playing a country pinball machine called "stand by your man"
I saw him talk to her but I stayed in my lane and played steady
and was thinking of a day when I'd be too old to throw a ball this heavy
But I guess Im young now so It's easier to knock 'em all down
Then I look and saw her say to him "you're really Hittin' that ball around"
And he's lookin' at her the way i did when I first met her
I can see in his face white Flowers, Cups of Coffee , and love letters.
I was sorry to interrupt their game but I went and did it anyway.
I dropped my red bowling ball through the glass of his machine
and I said "are you quick enough to hit this ball Mr. Clean?"
I was scared to lose her so I couldn't help being mean.
And that ended both our games
I said I was sorry but my girl left with him just the same
I thought how much I hate when love makes me act this way
I was bent over a broken pinball machine in a bowling alley and I threw it all away.
Isn't it all just a big game


rock on...
