I sang at your second wedding
and you paid for my divorce
and all the holes in all the stories that you told me
couldn't make me love you any worse.
But I still see you
twenty years ago today
sleeping on my shoulder
underneath your Persian sweater
on a southbound train
seven stitches in your ringless finger
the kitchen lights too bright to dance
and you insisted that you didn't need a doctor
but the colander was shaking in your hand
but I still hear you
twenty years ago today
swearing like a soldier
while the blood and broken glass
went down the drain

Spenser's Bad News
03:18
|
|||
Spenser found some clues
in Hit Parades and Melody Makers
and whispers in the grooves
of records spinning in the basement
he stomped on the box
he needed some fuzz for the riff he was making
but buzz was what he got
dead batteries and busted cables
he said, “fuck it, I'm too young for this
I just wanna play the blues
but all I ever seem to get
is bad news, bad news,
and I can play piano
better than she can
and I'm already in seven
but I'm gonna start another band.”
he called it The Jaws of Love
it was Spenser and a dozen CT370s
they turned their backs in the club
this wasn't what they paid $4 to see
Spenser struck a chord
it was a CMajor 7th with an inverted third
the kids all turned toward
the sound and they listened with their ears on the floor
one said, “I love what the DJ said”
one said, “I love his shoes,
but what are we gonna call it?”
one said, “bad news, bad news.”

Eight Miles to Ludlow
03:29
|

Mr. Tollbooth Operator, could you let us slide?
just pretend you never saw us, and let us off The Pike
cuz it's been the longest winter, today the sun is bright
we got eight miles to Ludlow and a new life.
Hey Mr. Officer, we know we were going fast
but our friends are waiting for us, we're gonna drink and laugh
we know you got a job to do, but could you let us pass
we got eight miles to Ludlow we won't go fast.
[chorus]
Eight miles to Ludlow, we won't go fast.
Eight miles to Ludlow, we won't go fast.
Hey Mr. Ice Cream Man, could you spare a treat?
we got a little kid who really could use something sweet.
but our pockets are full of nothing 'cept receipts
hey Ice Cream Man, could you spare a treat?
Mr. Tollbooth Operator, can you let us slide?
just pretend you never saw us, and let us off The Pike
cuz it's been the longest winter, today the sun is bright
we got eight miles to Ludlow and a new life.

Eva's Guitar
04:31
|

I wrote a song on Eva's guitar
it was white light, white light
I wrote a song on Eva's guitar
it took all night, all night
She was asleep in her bed with a boy
with my friend, my friend
(when the sun came up on the front stoop cups)
I was awake making terrible noise
with my friend, my friend
(when the sun came up on the front stoop cups)
[chorus]
Stranger holidays and seasons
through the window each year
can't explain the reasons to the outside
but inside the movie, yeah inside the film
we rewrote the script so that the drummer was Jill
it screened once in the village yeah and never again
it's kinda like a joke that only five or six people get
she took a trip to the chemical store
to get good, to get great
but all he needed was a video cure
blank tapes, blank tapes
(so we filled them up with the scenes we made)
[chorus]
Danger, debutantes and demons
grow the solo right there
underneath the pavement
last one is the
first one to seven the first one to go
the first to get eleven's getting stuck in the snow
and if you skip a wicket then your bases explode
it's kind of like a game that only you and your sister know
I wrote a song on Eva's guitarwhile she was fast asleep
(when the sun came up on the front stoop cups)
I said, “maybe we should call it a night”
he said, “it's only 3:33”
(when the sun came up on the front stoop cups)
I wrote a song on Eva's guitar oh oh, oh oh
I wrote a song on Eva's guitar
it had a soso solo

Pyramids

Abigail,
wake up, your bus is leaving soon
and if you miss it you'll be doomed
to stay the day. your bus is leaving soon.
Pyramids,
we were drawing in your room
and naked girls
and ziggarauts on the moon
we were drawing in your room.
[chorus]
we were drawing lightning bolts
in the margins of your chemistry notes
on the backs of letters that you hid from your folks
on the backs of letters that you hid from your folks
and we hid from your folks
suspension slips and references to pyramids, the drugs we did(x2)
[chorus]
your favorite song
and you couldn't dance but you could run, run, run
and you couldn't sing but you could hum along
Abigail, you could always hum along.
she said, “baby,
nothing that you could say could ever save me
you're whispering in Spanish all the ways you'll betray me
and I can't understand a single word.”

Drinking Song #4
04:37
|
|||
Sleeping through Sunday so I won't see it end
drinking through the weekdays till it's Friday again
don't bother waiting up, I'm out with my friends
gathering scars on the weekend
wellr ehearsed banter with the worst kind of men
lying 'bout women over whiskey and gin
knocking back another and another again
hoping she gets drunk enough to kiss me again
Governor Winchester, if you won't fix the streets
then lend me some money and we'll get fixed in the streets
cuz I've got no head for budgets or votes
I got a head full of bourbon, so lend me a smoke
[bridge]
open up another bottle
throw away the cap
caps are for quitters
and we quit on most things, don't we?
but we'll never quit on this
Lucifer, Lucifer, tell me I'm small
tell me you're in me, and help me to fall
cuz you are my brother, my Lord, and my King
but what I need is a barman to pour me a drink
Captain, my captain, there's no wind in our sails
and the Spanish Armada is right at our heels
and we can't drink this powder, and we can't drink this gold
but we'll be swallowing rum with their swords at our throats.
