lyrics

My father was a fisherman
In love with Robert Service
My mother was a cheerleader
In Esko, Minnesota
My uncle introduced them
And they really hit it off
They thought they were in love
They decided to get married
And they had a couple kids
One of them was me
And my sister Jenny
Well my father was thought to be
The life of every party
And my mother’s other women friends
They looked at her with envy
But what didn’t know
Lurked within the lampshade
Was a bitter man
Was a selfish man
With a hollow chest
Didn’t have a heart
That was my dear old man
Well maybe they were victims
Of what was expected of them
It was just before the dawning
Of the new sex revolution
And maybe they thought marriage
Was the proper thing to do
When in reality they probably
Just wanted to screw
Oh the things you do
When you want to screw
Stupid things that you do
Sometimes i feel a product
Of a loveless interaction
And i feel my heart was swallowed
Somewhere in the last transaction
Cause i saw the death of love
Between my parents and their families
And that really tore me up inside
I was just six years old but
I believe in love
Protect your innocence
Don’t give in
to be bitter

Just saw them performing much of this album on their west coast tour. San Diego and Pioneertown dates. Didn’t know any of them lol. I’m all about their old shit but I like this. Playing it more and more. Appreciate the evolution of one of my favorite bands in the world since middle school! 🖤 Red

Such a special album I struggle to think of what to say about it. At times I'm afraid or put off even listening to it and sometimes its the most comforting thing in the world. I got this from a vinyl code and I only listened to that physical copy of it the morning after the night my dog died. The first time I ever lost someone that meant the world to me and it was the first time I didn't cry to it. This album is beautiful and if youre reading this, you are loved memon_dayz
