I love Robbins vocals, but the unsteadiness/sincerity of the original can't be beat... (minus the fucking Frenchy frog talking)

No one should cover that song. The original is way too perfect and sentimental.

X2... I also love their cover of "Telegram Sam" for similar reasons

"Lillian" - yeah - probably the worst of all Born Against songs which I'm sure wasn't meant to be taken seriously. But given how damn good that comp is, a poor venue to air such a weak/joke track.
But that comp is filled with great stuff, yes - that Greyhouse song is amazing! It was also the first time I had heard Avail's "Sidewalk" (I believe this comp preceded 'Dixie'), Merel, Native Nod, Iconoclast...ah man....great memories with that album.

Gonna agree there.
Although every time I play a sloppy cheat version of it on guitar, I can't help but noticing it's similar chord / sus thing as "The Godfather" by Dag Nasty, and it gets me thinking of recording a punked up version of it. But then I revert to "it can't be done better just because you add some distortion."
