about

From Afternoon Lamentations. Title song, in fact. Vocals slightly rougher than they needed to be.

lyrics

Hey, old pal of mine
Partner in crime
Most of the time
I got a bottle of wine
Needing some close inspection

Let’s sit down for a while
Chase a few smiles
Remembering how
We never dreamed we’d know
These afternoon lamentations

I’ve got a new telephone
It’ll beam you to Rome
Tell you how to drive home
But when I’m all alone
I know that my stuff will not save me

I’ve got a house on the hill
All the right pills, big time to kill
Now I can’t find a new thrill
Nothing that’s shaking can move me

I miss those glory days
Maximum bliss, minimum pain
Now I just watch the rain
Filling my afternoons

So Hey, old pal of mine
Partner in crime
Let’s finish this wine
I gotta go find my girl
And sing her these lamentations
