lyrics

Everybody talks so much
You don't ever say a thing
But I like to hear the sound of your voice
I rarely find it irritating
If the cosmos has a plan
I hope it tells you what you want to hear
Maybe later on
When everyone's just standing around
You can be in the clear

If you want to become a bum
Find someone who adores you in every way
If you want to jump off a big tall bridge
Find someone who might talk you out of it
When a hurdle pops up in the road
You got to take a pretty good run
You might keep me young

I've been working nine to five
Give or take an hour maybe two
Leaves eight hours every night
To do what I want to do
Short days hot nights
That's the way it really ought to be
Everybody wants someone exotic
Who is in love with the ordinary

If you want to become a bum
Find someone who adores you in every way
If you want to jump off a big tall bridge
Find someone who might talk you out of it
When a hurdle pops up in the road
You got to take a pretty good run
You might keep me young

"Okay Wow"
by Daniel Romano

We saw Daniel Romano play this live album when they came through Austin. Most definitely the best concert I've ever seen. It was almost two years ago and I still haven't shut up about it. The Best Around

The Shape of Your Name
by Charlotte Cornfield

Charlotte Cornfield is one of my favorite songwriters. I have a twinge of jealousy listening to her songs, wishing I had written them. She knows how to throw a very soft punch to the gut. The Best Around
