When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all

I met a gin-soaked bar-room queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
Cause I just can't seem to drink her off my mind...

You're a hot mess
You act like you've got nothing to lose
But I've already lost my temper
I put my loving on the line for you, lady
But my spirits were low
I would have committed a crime for you, baby
Yeah, it got out of control

There are only pieces, pieces
Pieces of me
What's the use in dying, dying
If I cannot see?

I think it's time to go, let's go little kitty kat
He don't want no mo'...

Nine minutes of a long, slow crescendo...

The narratives are so familiar
A crush too much for pen and paper
A misquote from a science book
I can't accept your explanation
Blind page, blank cheque obfuscation
Played so dumb I can't bear to look

This Field Music song sounds so much like a Big Star song it's uncanny.

A ten minute punk anthem from an era when punk bands were recording thirteen-second songs.

Open up like a lowered fist
And let me love you.

And close out with some blues from Mississippi John Hurt.
