"Two Characters In Search Of A Country Song" lyrics
"Two Characters In Search Of A Country Song"
You were just like me, you were one big bruise
In the game of life we were playing to lose
You were Jesse James, I was William Tell
You were Daniel Webster, I was the Devil himself
Two characters in search of a country song
Just make-believe, but so in love
Two characters been listening all night long
For voices from Nashville above
Hell on eighteen wheels at a hundred per
We went crashing through the Jersey barrier
But the road went on over dale and hill
You were Calamity Jane and I was Wild Bill
Two characters in search of a country song
Just make-believe, but so in love
Two characters been listening all night long
For voices from Nashville above
Two characters in search of a country song
Just make-believe, but so in love
Two characters been listening all night long
For voices from Nashville above

Grandaddy - "Saddest Vacant Lot In All The World" She's in the kitchen
Crying by the oven
It seems she really loved him
He's so drunk he's
Passed out in a Datsun
That's parked out in the hot sun
In the saddest vacant lot in all the world
World...
Camera Obscura - "The Sun On His Back" He's got the sun on his back
Where there are freckles I would die for
Is he a family man?
If I had the chance I would show him all I am
I like the sound of his voice
I did me very best to impress...
John Cale - "Andalucia" Andalucia when can I see you
When it is snowing out again
Farmer John wants you
Louder and softer closer and nearer
Then again
Needing you taking you keeping you leaving you
In a year and a day to be...
Belle & Sebastian - "Ease Your Feet In The Sea" Ease you're feet off in the sea
My darling it's the place to be
Take your shoes off curl your toes
And I will frame this moment in time
Troubles come and troubles go
The trouble that we've come...
Beck - "I Get Lonesome" Well there ain't nobody left to impress
And everyone's kissing their own hands
This 666 on the kitchen floor
Ain't no fire in the pan?
I get lonesome...
So glad to be a slab
Stiff as a stick...
