That's still one of my favorites :)
I loved everything on "Below the Salt", really.
But long before then, I loved "The Incredible String Band". And still do, along with the "Butthole Surfers" ;) And ...

Take me, break me
Tell me a good one and maybe I'll cry
Go with me, show me
Tell me a good one and maybe I'll die

Into the kitchen and out the back gate
Well I know it sounds strange but it could be the other way
Round to the ground where I know I must stay
There's "Two years before the mast", by Richard Dana, a sailor who visited San Francisco Bay years before the Gold Rush.
