Guided by Voices - My Big Day (Three Versions) lyrics

I stole the fleece from the grasp of the beast

Now I will rest in peace, yeah I will rest in peace

And it's my big day

It's my big day

I peeled the skin from the fruit of good men

Waging war over sin, yeah I'd do it all again

On my big day

On my big day

*Written in Blood passed down through ages

*A song for any fool to play

*On his big day

*Boys will be boys making all kinds of noise

*With the dangerous toys

*I keep my poise

*'Cuz it's my big day

*Oh it's my big day

*Kings versus kings but it don't mean a thing

*It's a serious thing(?)

*When a straight pack ???

*On my big day

* Oh it's my big day

It's my day

It's my day

It's my day

It's my day

Don't you try to spoil it

I'm a firebreathing dragon

Don't you try to stop me

I'm a hi-tech paddy wagon

(*watch me off the ground with nothing draggin')

And here I go

Smooth sailing

From here on out

(*lyrics for version three)
