The band got their name from a suggestion given by a friend, because whenever that friend had dinner at Dave's house he would sit at the kid's table.

Big D And The Kids Table Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always yelling at me cause i dont' mind when they're around
She spends her time backing up her image
She says she's not like them, not gossipy or timid
Now she's angry now she's mad
Always telling everyone that she made up the fad
Always telling me I should or I shouldn't
Evil girl you met some how, now your dating and it's great
love, love, kiss, kiss, kiss, a lot of sex your soul mates
she loved you cause you're sweet and cute, i mean
she loved you cause you got her known, you got her in the scene
Well now she's dumped you, now she's gone
at 18 and 22 is when they drop the bomb
and now she needs someone new, to make her cool, to make her scene
the best thing in your world is now the worst thing after all
evil girl angry girl
are these my choices
evil girl angry girl
the girl i want is just a myth
When the sun goes down in this Allston town
with my head in my hands, a beginning and an end
i sit and wonder, wonder if i ever really wanted it, wanted it
When the sun goes down with my boston crowd
when im staring at my friends, hoping this will never end
i sit and wonder, wonder if she ever really wanted it, wanted it
evil girl angry girl
are these my choices
evil girl angry girl
the girl i want is just a myth
imagination girl, please come save me
imagination girl
imagination girl, please come save me
in an imagination world
one day, one day ill turn around and she'll find me, i know
one day, one day she'll turn around and she'll find me, i know
When the sun goes down in this Allston town
with my head in my hands, hoping this will never end
i'll sit and wonder, wonder if she every really wanted it, wanted it
yeah now she's gone, don't worry about me
cuz i'll be fine
don't worry about me cuz i
i know there must be more than this
evil girl angry girl
are these my choices
evil girl angry girl
the girl i want is just a myth
The lyrics to Big D and the Kids Table's "Evil Girl/Angry Girl" reflect on the challenges of dealing with toxic and manipulative individuals in relationships. The song starts with a description of an angry girl who criticizes and puts down other girls, and constantly tests and yells at the singer for not conforming to her image. The lyrics suggest that this behavior is a way for her to validate her own worth and identity by putting others down. The second verse introduces an evil girl who becomes the singer's soulmate and social gateway, yet she ultimately dumps him and moves on to someone else to further her reputation. The chorus juxtaposes the idea of an imagination girl, a mythologized partner, with the destructive reality of the titular angry and evil girls.
The singer reflects on these experiences and their emotional impact on him, wondering if he ever really wanted to be part of that scene or with those girls. The bridge repeats the idea of an "imagination girl" as a beacon of hope, an escape from the constant drama and negativity of reality. The song concludes with a declaration of moving on and looking for something more, something beyond the dichotomy of evil and angry girls.
Overall, "Evil Girl/Angry Girl" explores themes such as identity, self-worth, and the negative consequences of toxic relationships. It shows how people can become mired in a cycle of negativity and manipulation, and how it can be difficult to break free and find something better.

Listen to our new album DO YOUR ART featuring “Too Much” at youtube.com/bigdandthekidstable
Hi, Im Dash!
Always be my favorite Big D track, getting to see them live soooo many times around the time this, and How It Goes was released. I still remember the How It Goes release at Axis, and bumping that record nonstop on the train ride back to Quincy, on my Sony Discman. SBL and Goodluck were both fantastic records, but for some reason this EP always resonates with me as my favorite, probably just because of all the memories I associate with it. I'd kill for more live footage of some of those Mass Art and Axis shows.
