Interviewer So About Your Cover Of "500 Miles " What Exactly Does "haver" Mean?
Dave Smalley Well I Found This Out Appropriately Enough When We Played In Glasgow Scotland. Havering Is Essentially When You're Talking Nonsense Or Talking Crap. The Reason It Comes After The Line "If I Get Drunk Blah Blah Blah And If I Haver I'll Do It Next To You " Is Because Usually You Haver When You're Drunk. You Talk Like An Idiot And Say Stupid Things. I Had Thought It Meant To Vomit But I Had No Idea And I Was Getting Really Frustrated Because I Like To Really Feel What I'm Singing And So I Sang That When We Did The Take Of The Song And Everyone Was Just Dying. I Saw It Through The Glass And Said "Well We'd Better Do That Again" And They Said "No Way That's Staying."
Interviewer Well When You Screamed "Whatever The Fuck That Means " That's One Of The Classic Moments Of The Album.
Dave Smalley It Was Genuine Too. It Wasn't Planned. I Was Just Frustrated Because I Was Singing A Word I Didn't Know. Interview From Punk Rock Academy Dot Com Just To Prove This Is NOT By Less Than Jake Or Anyone Else.

Interviewer: So about your cover of "500 Miles," what exactly does "haver" mean?
Dave Smalley: Well I found this out, appropriately enough, when we played in Glasgow, Scotland. Havering is essentially when you're talking nonsense or talking crap. The reason it comes after the line "If I get drunk, blah blah blah, and if I haver I'll do it next to you," is because usually you haver when you're drunk. You talk like an idiot and say stupid things. I had thought it meant to vomit but I had no idea and I was getting really frustrated because I like to really feel what I'm singing and so I sang that when we did the take of the song and everyone was just dying. I saw it through the glass and said, "Well, we'd better do that again" and they said "No way, that's staying."
Interviewer: Well, when you screamed "Whatever the fuck that means," that's one of the classic moments of the album.
Dave Smalley: It was genuine too. It wasn't planned. I was just frustrated because I was singing a word I didn't know.
