Album Of The Year

Artists : Good Life, The : Album Of The Year

The first time that I met her I was throwin' up in the ladies room stall
She asked me if I needed anything, I said "I think I spilled my drink"
And that's how it started
Or so I'd like to believe

She took me to her mothers house outside of town,
Where the stars hang down
She said she'd never seen someone so lost
I said I'd never felt so found
And then I kissed her on the cheek
And so she kissed me on the mouth
Oh oh oh

Spring was poppin' daises up 'round rusted trucks
And busted lawn chairs
We moved into a studio in Coucil Bluffs
To save a couple bucks
Where the mice came out at night
Neighbors were screamin' all the time

We'd make love in the after noons
To Chelsea Girls and Bachelor number two
I'd play for her some songs I wrote
She'd joke and say I'm shootin' through the roof
I'd say they're all for you, dear
I'll write the album of the year

And i know she loved me then
I swear to god she did
Its the way she'd bite my lower lip
And push hips against my hips
And dig her nails so deep into my skin

The first time that I met her I was convinced
That I had finally found the one
She was convinced I was under the infuence
Of all those drunken romantics
I was readin' Fonte at the time
I had Bukowski on my mind

She got a job at Jacob's
Survin' cocktails to the local drunks
Against her will I fit the bill
I perched down at the end of the bar
She said space is not just a place for stars
I gave you an inch you want a house with a yard

And I know she loved me once
But those days are done
She used to call me everyday
From a payphone on her break for lunch
Just to say she can't wait to come home
Oh oh, to come home
Oh oh, to come home
To come home

Last time that I saw her
She was pickin' through which records were hers
Her clothes were packed in boxes with some pots and pans
And books and a toaster
Just then a mouse scurried across the floor
We started laughin' 'til it didn't hurt
Started laughin' 'til it didn't hurt
Started laughin' 'til it didn't hurt
Started laughin' 'til it didn't hurt
Alright
