"The Odd Couple" is the eighth track on Death to False Metal. In a 2009 interview, Karl Koch described "The Odd Couple" as: "I liked this song a good deal. It was a clever, apparently autobiographical song, which I assumed was about him and his wife. It was funny. Again, piano based, not “rock."" The version released on Death To False Metal does not contain piano, and is more "rock" than Karl Koch described.
Lyrics
I got a PC, you got a Mac
I'm givin' you flak for your AirPort
I read books and you watch TV
You wanna be free to relax more
But when I think about the other people I could see
Nobody else out there could ever make me happy
I wonder how we came to be
The odd couple is what we are in reality
But we are so happy in everything we do
The odd couple is what they're saying of you and me
But we know the feeling that we share is true
Sometimes I want to strangle your neck
Or write you a check to get goin'
There's only so much more I can take
I made a mistake without knowin'
But when I think about the way your little heart beats
When I am holdin' you and you are holdin' onto me
I wonder how we came to be
The odd couple is what we are in reality
But we are so happy in everything we do
The odd couple is what they're saying of you and me
But we know the feeling that we share is true
I hope you know that I don't mean you disrespect
I'm just pointing out all of the facts I double-checked
Everyone can see that we ain't two peas in a pod
But maybe that's our chemistry that takes us to the top
I think it's workin' baby, that's the point I'm tryin' to make
If I said something else to you then I would be a fake
I wonder how we came to be
I wonder how we came to be
I wonder how we came to be
The odd couple is what we are in reality
But we are so happy in everything we do
The odd couple is what they're saying of you and me
But we know the feeling that we share is true
The odd couple
The odd couple
The odd couple
The odd couple
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
