The name of the song is, of course, "The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun". It's
by Julie Brown. You might remember her from "I Like 'Em Big & Stupid", a song
whose lyrics were posted here during the period of stupid lyric mania. In
fact, those two songs are the B and A side's respectively of her indie 12".
