Down By The Oceanside

I had the Hatteras blues almost every night
You live down by the ocean down by the oceanside
Have you got a clue? now you're on your own
Are you still complacent
A figure on the wall
Everybody wants to feel like they’re winning
Everybody wants to feel like they’re right
You said that you were ready to go. You went fishin’
Just as I was ready to go, you were fine
Down by the oceanside
in a pickup scene
all the waiters look tired
and the faces they change
when the people they smile
all the carefree wants
blinking of the eye
it’s a mixed world
newspaper sky
Everybody wants to feel that beginning
Everybody wants to feel like a child
Said that you were ready to go you went fishin’
Just as I was ready to go you were fine
Down by the oceanside
still got the blues
are you on you’re own
in a mixed-up world
a figure on the wall
Everybody wants to feel like a winner
Everybody wants to feel like a child
Said that you were ready to go you weren’t in it
just as I was ready to go you were fine
Down by the oceanside

Hurricane

Coastal town, washed-out road
I go thinking of her again
I got out; she stayed in
I got stuck in that hurricane
kill devil hills
Calvinist shame
I got stuck in that hurricane
safe and sound
saved herself
I don’t know where I really am
coastal town washed out road
I’d rather be in that hurricane
In Kill Devil Hills
with dark sheets of rain
the Calvinist gills
I swim for the bank
I got stuck in that hurricane
same old town
same old fears
I go thinking of her again
I got out
she stayed in
I got stuck in that hurricane

Milwaukee

It's the dark of winter
I hear flamenco in the rain
In the middle of Milwaukee
walking home from work mid-day
Man, I got some bills to pay
Baby, that ain't no joke
Doesn't everybody?
We're all diggin' in our coats.
I pass by the corner store
I forgot my list back at the house
I'm getting older; it aint funny
so I drive back to the couch
Man, I got some bills to pay
Baby, that ain't no lie
I'm tired of everybody
Can't look them in the eye
Man, I got some bills to pay
Baby, that ain't no joke
But doesn't everybody
We're all walking digging in our coats
There's a smell of spring-time
And I'm singing in the rain
In the middle of Milwaukee
walking home from work mid-day
Man, I got some bills to pay
Baby, that ain't no joke
Doesn't everybody
we're all digging in our coats
Man, I got some bills to pay
Baby, that ain't no lie
I'm tired of everybody
Can't look them in the eye

She saw the ocean meet the sky
And she knew she’d fall in love again
Another person and time
Nothing to lose; she’ll be a big success
Valerie marquee
A change of name
Valerie Marquee
Whatever it takes
And on the Upper West side
She met a man who said he loved her look
He took her out every night
Just what she wanted to be understood
Valerie marquee
A change of name
Valerie Marquee
Whatever it takes

Lord knows I try
I get lost sometimes
then suddenly I’m fine when I see you
as those years gone by, I
think of all those times I fell so fast
I fell for you
now it’s growing old
it’s sits above my stove
our photograph
the only one I have
I wonder how you’ve been
I can’t remember shit but I was crazy back then
so were you
I still remember your eyes and that look of surprise
and how could I forget that sinister grin sinister grin
and those boots you wore faded and gold
our photograph the only one I have
now it’s coming back to me
the way you used to be
now it’s coming back to me I’ve no regrets
I took it down last night. I guess it’s about time
I wonder now who lives with you
and those boots you stole faded and gold

Father John Misty is so good to listen to when I want to relax. My cat used to seem to like the music too, and we would both chill and listen to the FJM vinyls I own. This album on bandcamp was a nice FJM treat.
