Lyrics: I was sitting at a table Down at the Steak 'n' Sabre With Cain and Abel The circumstance was a different kind of world
We were laughing and drinking The universe was shrinking I was thinking, man, that's a different kind of world
Down at the Steak 'n' Sabre Like Trobarianders Don't you understand that's a different kind of world
I was swimming in Bali When I got swallowed By something hollow We were going down to a different kind of world
Where they talk like Plato And sweet potatoes growing all around in a different kind of world
Right down in the shallows And the wind it blows Don't you know that's a different kind of world
Quotes: "I think the [song] that has the most groove [on the album] is the one called 'Steak ‘n’ Sabre'. It has a funny time signature, but it has a lot of groove. 'Steak ‘n’ Sabre', I would say, is an abstract song." - Frank Black, InterFM Radio interview, March 23, 1998
