I should've gone to sleep last night when the phone rang
cos you take a call when i'm talking to you
hey that's my brothers name
yeah i know my place in your world
but there's protection in ambiguity
i give you my space
while you're namedropping in coffee shops
and in the lines you trace
you carve your niche carefully
you leave no place there for me
in two star hotels and by riversides you wander
how can it be that in all this time i've wandered
i've never gotten close to being the person that
i want you to want me to be
so i take a call when you're talking to me
please close the door when you leave me
make a nice clean break
write thank you cards and close accounts
then be on your way
cos i know my place in your world
i've never been your kind of girl
in two star hotels and by riversides you wander
how can it be that in all this time i've wandered
i've never gotten close to being the person that
i want you to want me to be
so i take a call when you're talking to me

Summertime and Magazines

I met you after your show
on the second stage
i joined your mailing list
and then i never
got a letter
this weather's got me longing for distorted guitars
and three part harmonies
this weather's got you longing for a rarer dime a dozen
sort of thing
and that is why i hate reading
fashion magazines
and i don't wanna die
in a preventable way
i can't explain
they say you are what you love
and you inevitably become just like your parents
reading liner notes by flashlight at night
summertime
i'm so easily distracted when you're gone
summertime
and I
Need
You

Minutes from June recommends:
Sadie has got to be my favorite guitarist (Tied with Stephen Malkmus). They put on an amazing, energetic live show. Thoughtful and powerful songwriting. Not a single Speedy song I don't like.
go to album
I guarantee you will have "Relaxed Lizard" on repeat. It's ridiculously infectious.
go to album
I saw Tancred open for Speedy Ortiz, what an amazing show. Jess has a beautiful voice, and she can really shred. Such a full sound from a three piece band.
