You say your faith will lead us to better times
Words like a warning shot
A train jumping the tracks, coming in too hot
Some holy fool
You said from holiness to destitution loneliness
The truth goes out the window when the building catches fire
From orthodox to loose we’re scrambling for a substitute
Some reason to continue when our hotrod blows a tire
She said, it’s alright man it’s a long weekend and everybody’s freakin
Stopped, rolling around, and we still can’t see
Playing a real game betting anything and everything
Hey this is serious
We’re giving up thinking, control
Our hands are off the wheel
Our freedom to speak out, perhaps even to feel
Sitting around waiting for a magic man with giant hands to push us on and on
Hard times are coming and we’re all here doing nothing
Star shaped ice cubes in our drinks and we’re terrified of strangers
Her heart’s aflutter she’s convinced that Jesus loves her
He mighta loved her back if he only coulda changed her
He said, it’s alright yeah it’s a long weekend and everybody’s freakin
Father John Misty is so good to listen to when I want to relax. My cat used to seem to like the music too, and we would both chill and listen to the FJM vinyls I own. This album on bandcamp was a nice FJM treat. Michelle May
A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
