"This Is Not My Song" lyrics
"This Is Not My Song"
Oh, Holden has got me caught
I never asked for advice
He's got a way of forcin' it on ya
But my heart's as cold as ice
And I will not entertain
Even an ounce of anger
I'm happy with all my borrowed words
I won't ever return
And this is not my song
And these are not my words
I borrowed the guitar
And stole all the chords
And these are not my feelings
In fact, they're age-old
Oh, I learned 'em from a place
But mainly they're stole
Stolen by me
Oh, Lord I've stolen a girl
But it's like stealing a mountain
I've got no place to put it, no
And no hope to climb it
I cannot succeed
I cannot catch and release
Oh, I said, "Man, please take her back"
And he said, "You've sown, now you will reap"
Oh, I found a true love
Surely she's ideal
She was once my friend's
But I made a steal
And she loves like a rock
And she's heavy as a stone, yeah
But it's better than drugs
Oh, and being alone
And this is not my song
And these are not my words
I borrowed the guitar
And stole all the chords
And these are not my feelings
In fact, they're age-old
I learned 'em from a place
But mainly they're stole
Stolen by me
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Paul Baribeau - "When You Go Back To College" Do you remember Christmas break?
We hung out almost every day
And I can honestly say
I fell back in love with you
Your hair is my favorite
Sometimes I really miss it
Maybe I'm just being stupid
Or a...
The Felice Brothers - "So Long John" The radio that told me all about the death of John Ashbery
Is sitting on the road, in a thousand pieces, singing Lonesome Valley
And I'm still in this bar, strumming a dead guitar
I'm all alone on...
Odie Leigh - "All Star Breakfast" I'm a dirty belt buckle on the waistline of a man
Leaning over an all-star breakfast
Cup of coffee in his hand

Deer Tick - "Goodbyes" I never thought I'd get the chance to tell you what was on my mind
There's so much more to say so in a way I guess I was right
Goodbyes are hard to say
Yes, goodbyes are hard to get right
Goodbyes...
The Mountain Goats - "Dirty Old Town" I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Clouds a drifting across the moon
Cats a prowling on their beat...
