"The Cobbler (Remix)" is the second song on The Land of Misfits EP.

Lyrics:

The Cobbler

take my hand to the wondrous land
of lollipop trees
of peppermint flowers
all things make believe
come with me, said a man with eyes that sparkled with glee
and rainbow lips that smiled up at me

oh, tell me where he roams
the cobbler
light of good hope

say hello to gumdrops and trolls
and fountains of gold
and teacup boats on saucers of foam
then we stole away to his home of wafers and cream
and he told me this wasn't a dream

I'm always a fan of remixes (within reason). When done right, the breathe new life into much-loved songs . . . and give us a different perspective of the same song.

I like this remix. It's fun, upbeat and sounds like something that might be played in a club.

It's not earth-shattering, though, and really doesn't really grab me the way other JE remixes do. So I like it. It works . . . but I'm not in love with it.

(3/5 for me . . . and that's a solid "I Like It")

I've never heard this. O_o
