On The Quails second album, called Atmosphere, (Quails being a somewhat notable 3 piece punk/art band from San Fran) during the fourth track titled "Soon the rest will fall", I heard the following familiar line: "You thought to be a Protest singer You needed an acoustic guitar I could laugh about it now but at the time it was terrible." Oddly enough, on the lyric sheet included with the alblum, these lines are left out, despite it being cleary sung. I'll leave up to you to decide if they are quoting as a form of flattery or if they're just a bunch of hacks.

it goes: (Score:2, Interesting)
that it meant you were a protest singer
and you could smile about it now
but at the time it was terrible!"
an even more heinous offense than Mr. Smiths makes it out to be.
the lyric is sung over a bridge and seems to have no place in relation to the verses of the song, though it's possible to put it in context.
i don't know what to make of it. it seems shady that they didn't put it in the lyric sheet. but hacks? oh but no - the quails are a bouncy, rocking, positive, energetic little punk trio from san francisco. they're cool. and they're really good live! so who cares?
forgive them. love them! doodle 'quails' inside little hearts in your notebook, while you're at it. go on, i'll wait -
