DESCRIPTION:
I forget how to sing properly when I'm playing the guitar. Consequently some notes are off, sorry! I include lyrics below in case you can't hear me well enough over the guitar. This song is beautifully written. Jenny Lewis' whole "Acid Tongue" album is definitely worth owning! It has an infectious dirty-country/folk/indie vibe, & her lyrics are fantastic.

I went to a cobbler to fix this hole in my shoe
He took one look at my face & said I can fix that hole in you
I beg your pardon, I'm not looking for a cure
I've seen enough of my friends in the depths of the godsick blues

You know I'm a liar
You know I'm a liar
Nobody helps a liar

Cuz I've been down to Dixie and dropped acid on my tongue
Tripped upon the land 'till enough was enough
I was a little bit lighter and adventure on my sleeve
I was a little drunk and looking for company
So I found myself a sweetheart with the softest of hands
We were unlucky in love but I'd do it all again

We built ourselves a fire
We built ourselves a fire
You know I'm a liar
You know I'm a liar

And you don't know what I've done

By the rolling river is exactly where I was
There was no snake oil cure for unlucky in love
To be lonely is a habit, like smoking or taking drugs
And I've quit them both, but man was it rough

And now I'm tired
It just made me tired
Let's build ourselves a fire
Let's build ourselves a fire
