There is so much to love about this song. It's use of the keyboard and horn is so nostalgic. You are reminded of Neal Hefti's work for the movie the Odd Couple. Then there's the Beatlesque ending which is the icing on the cake.
Well I’m so tired of working for that old Yankee Dollar
But I’m fine, yea I’m alright
No, nothing is the matter
So what’s the use and what’s the rush?
It never amounts to much
What a useless observation
Oh but I’m fine, yea always merry and bright
And nothing really matters
Oh but I’ve got mine
And I’ll be fine
Waiting around for all boats to rise
Is it tired ? is it old ?
Its a drop in the bowl
Is it mine ? Is it still ?
Is it run of the mill ?
Does it hurt? Does it break ?
Does it own Realestate ?
Does it come when you call ?
Does it just make you wait ?
Is it calm ? It it cracked ?
Can you pay it all back?
Is it Bernadette Meyer ? Is it Champion Jack ?
Is it charmed ? is it light ?
Is it love at first sight ?
Is it years ? is it days ?
Is it merry in the month of may ?
Is it all just a waste ?
Is it worth such a mess?
It’s a job Its a living its a hobby at best.
This album can transport you to a fun place with Leon Bridges singing and Khruangbin supporting him with their fantastic music. I love everything about this vinyl and am so glad I got the lunar press! Thank you all so much! Michelle May
