lyrics
One time king
One might think I'd feel his aura reaching through
as if a shroud of Turin found its way
to a bargain bin by fluke
Well, I can smell the aftershave he spilled on it
and these aren't my fingerprints
I guess that's the best that we can do
Walk in the club like what up in a dead man's coat
It's too difficult not to gloat in my dead man's coat
And when I pop the collar up around my neck
I swear that I can hear the things he prob'ly said, like
I wear my hat to the left so you can't tell I'm bereft
I gotta turn my swag on so you'll forget I'm forgone
What do you mean? I don't know what happened
What do you mean? I was only gone a second
What do you mean?
I'm trying hard not to cry 'cause I'm a regular guy
Walk in the club like what up in a dead man's coat
It's too difficult not to gloat in my dead man's coat
As I reflect on how the tables have turned
His denouement and my afterword
Can we say justice was served through this dead man's coat?
One might think I'd feel his aura reaching through
as if a shroud of Turin found its way
to a bargain bin by fluke
Well, I can smell the aftershave he spilled on it
and these aren't my fingerprints
I guess that's the best that we can do
Walk in the club like what up in a dead man's coat
It's too difficult not to gloat in my dead man's coat
And when I pop the collar up around my neck
I swear that I can hear the things he prob'ly said, like
I wear my hat to the left so you can't tell I'm bereft
I gotta turn my swag on so you'll forget I'm forgone
What do you mean? I don't know what happened
What do you mean? I was only gone a second
What do you mean?
I'm trying hard not to cry 'cause I'm a regular guy
Walk in the club like what up in a dead man's coat
It's too difficult not to gloat in my dead man's coat
As I reflect on how the tables have turned
His denouement and my afterword
Can we say justice was served through this dead man's coat?

Vile Tyrant and the Middle Men
by Naeemah MaddoxThis is probably the best rock record of the 10s, Naeemah shreds on guitar, flute, violin AND vocals and her melodies go to incredible places

The Cashmere Cassette
by Carol Cleveland SingsThomas of Carol Cleveland Sings graciously allowed me to use the first verse from his song "Blink At Surprise" in the song "Target." Fine frenetic bedroom pop, the nicest Geoff you'll ever meet.
