I think I sing this:
Go outside
hand-me-down
you try it
just to try it out
When you get there
you'll know some how
the burning
won't go away
Give it a rest
In the shed
with the handy wood
you try it
like I knew you would
this feeling
won't go away
you can try it
on a better day
Give it a rest

take it all on myself
took it all by myself
I played the part
I messed it up again
but there's good luck around every corner
so watch out!

Close up your memories
keep them warm and soft
and hide them from your enemies
know that my hand
is well within your reach
is well within your means
Don't give up on this
Take them to the armory
let the splash around
in the puddles on the ground
speak no more of this
speak no more of anything
kiss them on their foreheads
Don't give up on this

We line up taking our shots
Everyone giving what they got
You know it’s photographed
Making our place in the tribe
Giving up before our time
You know it’s photographed
A slicing slice of country life
Is speaking to your untrained eye
You know it’s photographed
Bittersweet is half-undone
Tempting to your untrained tongue
You know it’s photographed
God bless the people here tonight
God keep you safe and hold you tight
The lights are bright
The music’s loud
The girls look good
Their boys are proud

Taking the time to make it so much clearer now
Making your face with that goopy-gook butter now
I know everything about you
but something is wrong and I can't put my finger on it
Don't go dancing without me.
I see your shoes and I know what you are thinking now
You're calling your friends and making plans for the evening now
I don't know everything about you
but I know where you are going and I know what you are going to do
Don't go dancing without me.

Midlife teases swoon for cellophane jesus
his head's a figment of crowns
which hides his critical frown
from the adoring but dangerous crowd,
and sitting side-saddle
prepared for the battle
his mistress is stealing the scene
on the cover of Life magazine
we see her in full-color sheen
and know she's God.

I think I sang something like this:
With their heads open
nice and wide,
and they're holding on
just to hear them all.
With their gold in them,
you can know,
you can know better
the hearts of gold.
and you
know.

I'm done with music. If you buy something, I'll just give the money away. Save yourself a couple of bucks.
Thanks for being there, music. Alight upon some other soul.
Shabby Car recommends:
This is the new EP by my "other" band. We're like all professional and shit.

I was the "executive producer" on this record, which means my job was listening to it and saying "yeah, this is rad, don't change anything, you dingus."

Let Them Eat Cake
by French Reform
I was in this band. One day in practice I shredded so hard on my Ibanez that we had to break up just to give everybody time to process.
