anyone else notice a kettle is boiling in Not For You from about 10-25 seconds mark. It also fits good with the idea of "Small my table, it sits just two", sitting at the kitchen table.

Also, where the hell is the fire extinguisher in Oceans?

    It was used as percussion. Here's an article about Ten with quotes from the guy who played the pepper shaker and fire extinguisher: http://www.timpalmer.com/interviews_text/guitar%202003_1.htm

    In the finished album's liner notes, Palmer is credited with playing the fire extinguisher and the pepper shaker. These "instruments" actually pop up as percussion on the song "Oceans." "I used the pepper mill as a shaker and used drum sticks on the extinguisher as a sort of bell effect:, Palmer says. "At about 30 seconds into the song you can hear the pep per shaker on the left and the fire extinguisher on the right. It is all fairly subtle stuff, really. The reason I used those items was purely because we were so far from a music rental shop and necessity became'the mother of invention.'"

    Small my pound cake
    it serves just two.
    I'm out of coffee
    I hope that tea will do.
    If you want some cookies,
    I have those too.
    But I have to ask if
    you want one lump or two.
    WELL, DO YOU?
    THIS IS TEA FOR TWO!
    I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.

    A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

    I asked Gary Westlake if he played the pepper shaker or the fire extinguisher....but he hasn't gotten back to me. I guess he didn't...

    The fire extinguisher as a bell....do you think Ed kept interrupting the song saying, "I need more fire extinguisher! I need more fire extinguisher. I got a bad sickness and the only cure is more fire extinguisher!" Damn, Christopher Walken is a funny man.
