What's your favorite song right NOW?

[cortez the killer]

[scotto]

The Besnard Lakes, "And This is What We Call Progress"

[scotto]

...or maybe it's "Albatross" by The Besnard Lakes. I really can't decide.



(I certainly like this video better.)

[joelle]

i can't stop playing this song.
must have played it near a hundred times in the last 2 days...
it' may be killing me. in an alright kinda way.in that christmas-time kind of bittersweet way.


Well I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags

You said see look it that's yours
Stacked on top with your brothers
See how they resemble one anothers?
Even in their plastic little covers

And I said I know it well

That secret that you know
That you don't know how to tell
it fucks with your honor
And it teases your head
But you know that its good girl
Cause its running you with red.

Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both my hands
Chewing on a candy bar
you said ain't this just like the present
To be showing up like this
There's a moon waning crescent
we started to kiss

And I said I know it well

That secret that we know
That we don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor
I'm in love with your cheeks
what's that noise up the stairs baby
Is that Christmas morning

And I know it well

[Tequila Cowboy]

When all your good days keep getting shorter, count on me
When you're about 20 cents shy of a quarter, count on me
When you just need a place to hide out for a while
I'll help you hide the bodies in a little while

I will bring you buckets of mercy
Hold your hand when you're crossing the street
Play a song if you want it

When you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, call on me
When you're feeling that freight train running through your head, call on me
If you just need a friend to talk to
Maybe not talk at all

I will bring you buckets of mercy
Put a smile back on your pretty face
Bring a shovel if you want it
Carry your secrets to my grave

When you're down and out
Pick you up down at the station
Put your hard times on vacation
Get you headed on your way

I will bring you buckets of mercy
Hold your hand when you're crossing the street
Pay your bail if you need it
I will be your saving grace
I will be your saving grace
I will be your saving grace

"Rosie" by Tom Waits

[Kudzu Guillotine]

Seems I can't get this one out of my head lately:

[Smitty]

She graduated high school I bought her a trailer
In a little park by the side of the road
I could've had the Army
I could've had the Navy
But no I had to go for a mobile home

Yeah I guess I gave it all for you babe
There wasn't room in that trailer for two babe

I kept up with my interest
I kept up with my payments
She never said goodbye
I never asked why
Man we used to dance to Lynyrd Skynyrd
Boy she used to look so good at times

But I guess I gave it all to you babe
There's not room in no trailer for two babe

Well I guess I gave it all for you babe
All for you and your trailer too babe

Testify Joe Tex, testify my brother

[Zip City]

Put the TV on the lawn
With the bicycles and boots
Take your wedding dress to pawn
Take my pistol and my suit

Sell the house, sell the car
Take the kids to Jacksonville
Give them a kiss for the father they'll miss
Tell them that I love them still

I remember long ago
In that brown Catskill school snow
Oh the life we dreamt back then

Hey there, Dorothy, stop your crying
I'll put your favorite record on
Hey there, Dorothy, where's your smile?
Just one kiss before I'm gone

Sell the house, sell the car
Take the kids to Jacksonville
Give them a kiss for the father they'll miss
Tell them that I love them still
And always will
And always will
