Lyrics
Over there well he's wondering
Is Oskar there, is Oskar all right?
Was never cool, not allowed to fit
He never knew what he liked
And over there he's the rubberman
A rubber dress with Betty Page eyes
Was never cool, he'll never settle down
He's not allowed to drive
He'll build a bridge then walk around
Don't ever call him dumb
He's not that bright, he's not that bright
And he's not him... not him...
And I can take you somewhere
Somewhere to unwind
You're tangled up in all this shit
And I will make you mine
And I will make you mine
There's nothing wrong, he's a superstar
A taximan and a young Eisenstein
Was never cool he'll never settle down
He's not allowed to drive
He'll build a bridge then walk around
Leave that boy alone
He's not that bright, he's not uptight
And he's just not him... not himself
And I will take you somewhere
Somewhere to unwind
You're tangled up in all this shit
But I will make you mine
And I will make you mine
I will take you
I will take you
I will take you
I will take you
I will take you
I will take you
I will take you
I will take you
And I can take you somewhere
Somewhere to unwind
You're tangled up in all this shit
And I will make you mine
But I will make you mine
And I will make you mine
Make you mine, mine, mine
Will make you mine, mine, mine
Will make you, but I can take you somewhere over
Mine, mine, mine, mine
Mine, mine, mine, mine
Mine, mine, mine, mine

Song Notes
Arnold Lanni, Canadian Musician, April 1997:
We put a couple of mics on an amp and put the mics out of phase -- which makes it sound a little funny -- and we moved the mics around until we found a space that sounded very different, took that signal, put it into an effects box and dressed it up that way. We also knew that in 'Oskar,' we wanted the bass and drums to drive it. What we opted for first was that the bass never got lost and when we miked the drum kit, Jeremy's a very aggressive drummer, so a lot of the tone that you're hearing comes right off his riff anyway, the way he attacks his drums, but his snare drum has a very signature sound. Part of it is how he plays it; the other part is how we mic it and compress it. We jus knew we wanted a specific drum and bass tone, and then we fit the guitar on top of it later.
