lyrics
the two by fours were placed
and i listened to davey sing about his one horse town
i felt every word. i felt the weight of dirt
as they shoveled new soil on my lawn
the garden bed. the volunteers put in
raised off the ground. i signed up to pretend
i was better. i was cleaner.
i would make this city greener
but you had postcards from all the places
you would go. so very far from here.
the summer came and went
and i listened to craig sing about kids in love
i felt every word. that i was still a kid
who left for higher ground when i’d finally get enough
closing shift. you were probably at Fink’s
it occurred to me
or maybe the Newport or at Boone
for the first time that year i didn’t have to meet you there
i drove straight home. a silent thank you to the moon
that i could love and i could lose
and not come totally unglued
I could love and I could lose you
the dirt soaked in the sun
and i listened to jason sing about his sins.
i felt every word like i had written them
but this wouldn’t take me like it had taken him.
it used to keep me from sleep
and i could barely eat
now it just tugs on my arm from time to time
but I’m still alive. for just once in my life
i could that fuckin fact be enough
and I’m still alive. and I’m alright
and i’ll plant the garden. not wait for the other shoe to drop
and reap what i sow and grow
reap what i sow and grow
Like The Hold Steady but with a heavy dose of Midwest Emo, math rock, probably some irony? on a good day, a little overthinking in an endearing way and insane fucking precision. kristin ides
Wife Patrol make instantly catchy alt rock with streaks of punk, new wave, and metal, overlaid with Bangles-esque harmonies. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 20, 2020
This is a great album. I will one day own all of the Telethon canon on vinyl, and I’m so glad they found a box of unsold pressings, or else I probably would’ve been shit out of luck finding this gem. biggie_cheese75
