lyrics
Lortabs and whole milk with a twist of lime
At home with the lonely party just about supper time
You dropped by I didn’t know just what I would fix
Put your tongue down my throat and brought out your bag of tricks
But now you’re going to California
And this I understand
I’d only wanted to’ve known ya
Now I don’t think I can
Inside most nights you could see the ripple of my fire reflecting on the walls
Guess those nights I was seeing triple and feeling three times tall
Drove a long drunken way to see you
Told me bring it on despite the trip
But I found you sleeping, bleeding on your pillow
Like something straight out of Flaming Lips
But now you’re going to California
And this I understand
I’d only wanted to’ve known ya
You know me
Tragically romantic
Hopelessly lost in transit
But its kept my meat clean and my heart a dream
Like a thought I think I thunk
Saw you on the Bookface
Titled in a relationship with Head Case
Last I knew you told me to shoo
‘Cept only kindly like you do
But now you’re going to California
And this I understand
I’d only wanted to’ve known ya
Now I don’t think I can
At home with the lonely party just about supper time
You dropped by I didn’t know just what I would fix
Put your tongue down my throat and brought out your bag of tricks
But now you’re going to California
And this I understand
I’d only wanted to’ve known ya
Now I don’t think I can
Inside most nights you could see the ripple of my fire reflecting on the walls
Guess those nights I was seeing triple and feeling three times tall
Drove a long drunken way to see you
Told me bring it on despite the trip
But I found you sleeping, bleeding on your pillow
Like something straight out of Flaming Lips
But now you’re going to California
And this I understand
I’d only wanted to’ve known ya
You know me
Tragically romantic
Hopelessly lost in transit
But its kept my meat clean and my heart a dream
Like a thought I think I thunk
Saw you on the Bookface
Titled in a relationship with Head Case
Last I knew you told me to shoo
‘Cept only kindly like you do
But now you’re going to California
And this I understand
I’d only wanted to’ve known ya
Now I don’t think I can

about
Wilder Embry Nashville, Tennessee

His admirers range from Kings of Leon to Gary Allan. He is headed towards his fourth record and that is good news to anyone that has the pleasure of getting into this guy. ... more

Strange Negotiations
by David BazanPerhaps Bazan's previous record "Curse Your Branches" is considered "the one" but this is the one i first heard. He is a delight and a genius and beautiful and rocks in the right way.
