Style

Upbeat rock. The lyrics concern Evan Dando lamenting the loss of his electric stove for a gas one. His stove is left in the front garden, and he feels guilty leaving it there because it's like an old friend to him. It's not clear which drugs Dando was on when he wrote this, and his mental health has often been questioned, but you cannot fault the solo at the end.

Lyrics

The gas man came
Took out our old electric stove.
I helped him carry it.
He told me he had been a prize fighter, once
So I threw him out the door !

He walked back in, we talked matters through
He began
To put the new stove in

But I miss my stove
Sorrow
Call it nerves
It's been replaced I miss my stove
She's all alone
She's right out front
Looks so nice
I'd like guests to know :
I miss my stove.
I feel sad again.

(middle 8 instrumental)
I know I shouldn't think about it anymore.
What's the point, you say ?
But I'm reminded each time I walk out my door
My stove's gone to stay.

He walked back in, we talked matters through
He began
To put the new stove in

But I miss my stove
Sorrow
Call it nerves
It's been replaced I miss my stove
She's all alone
She's right out front
Looks so nice
I'd like guests to know :
I miss my stove.
I feel sad again.
