Broke your heart to keep mine company
And I thought you would speak no more of me
I'm glad I was wrong, by the end of your song
I was gone, gone, gone but I won't be for long
I'll be gone, I'll be gone but I won't be for long
It was a long time, a long time coming
It was the wrong time but that don't mean nothing
I laughed at your cigarettes and burned all your jokes
But cuddling your knees is what I miss the most
I said cuddling your knees is what I miss the most
I've taken in vain all your beauty and pain
Like lovers and radio sweethearts will do
I'll keep busting windows and pissing on walls
Til the day I forget all about you
When your heart aches, at least you feel something
When your neck breaks, I hope you feel nothing
Come hold me and whisper a curse on my pride
When a reason to love me is too hard to find
When a reason to love me is too hard to find
And it's dark now in this whiskey
You're still singing and I'm getting misty
I'm the last of a kind you won't see anymore
Just another young cowboy in a gentleman's war
Just another gunslinger in a gentleman's war
I've taken in vain all your beauty and pain
Like lovers and radio sweethearts will do
I'll keep busting windows and pissing on walls
Til the day I forget all about you

There are lots of talented, exuberant bands out there, but very few with the power to produce pure joy with their music. For example, The Oh Hellos. Don't miss this, that's all. Polecat Rodeo
The Canoes are back and better than ever with their wry songs of Midwestern adolescent woe. Sharper, clearer, more bitterly hilarious than Roger, and that's saying a lot. Polecat Rodeo
