Cops On Acid

I saw a cop today.
He was listening to the Grateful Dead
and for the rest of the day,
I wondered what this meant.
Is that cop on acid?
Is that cop on LSD?
Is that cop on acid?
Is that cop on LSD?
I saw a cop today.
He was listening to the Grateful Dead.
I said, hey man, what show is that?
He said, show me your hands
and then he shot my dog.
Is that cop on acid?
Is that cop on LSD?
Is that cop on acid?
Is that cop on LSD?

Slip The Leash

We've all got smart phones
and I wish to Christ that I didn't have mine
but I need it for work.
I need it for work.
Now we've all got laptops
'cause that's how we roll in the world today
It's how we connect,
at least, that's what they say.
I live near the airport,
right under the flight path.
I hear the engines
and I see the planes.
I take the kids to the airport,
we look at the flights.
We talk about where we might go
to start a new life.
But we've all got smart phones
and I wish to Christ I could slip the leash
but I need it for work
and I hate my job.

Just As Well

It's just as well.
Would've ended up in heartache either way.
So I'll keep drinking 'til your memory fades away.
And it's just as well.
Always thought that we would have ourselves another day.
Now there's nothing left for either one of us to say --
except goodbye.

Plague Dad recommends:
songs from the sunroom
by Field Medic
I've been following Field Medic for years now, and this is a collection of some of the best stuff. His songwriting blows me away - the immediacy, the honesty. Check it out. You won't be sorry.

All Eternals Deck
by the Mountain Goats
It's the Mountain Goats. Every song is an adventure, but this is one of my favorite albums from a very prolific artist.

If you like folk music that is anything but overproduced, this is yer man. Raw, rough, and rootsy, Charlie Parr is a goddam American treasure who, for me, calls to mind Dave van Ronk. Give it a spin.
