*Kids* was recorded live on a Saturday afternoon. Everyone played and sang in the same room at the same time, without headphones. After the take, Dana overdubbed a piano track, because the Piano at Sear sounds beautiful and it would have been a crime just to leave it sitting there.
lyrics
If I have a boy then I will call him Autumn
and he will spend his summers in the sun
He needs his light and you needed none
There are flowers coming out of your grave
and your grave is baking in the sun
I remain and I will give what you gave
what you gave the way you should have done
The way you should have
If I have a girl then I will be forgotten
and everyone will say she looks like you
But her work is soft and her words are true
There are flowers coming out of your grave
and your grave is baking in the sun
I remain and I will give what you gave
what you gave the way you should have done
The way you should have
