lyrics

Most days my love
My love means nothing.
It's a backseat receipt
From a boarded-up gas station.

Most days my love
Is a tattoo of a blue bird
That nobody sees
'Cause it's covered in ass hair and vaseline.

Well I've got your name, I've got your name.
I've got your name etched in my shiny spare rib.
I swear I won't break, I swear I won't break.
I swear I won't break it like some kind of wishbone.

You left me your top hat
But not enough magic
For the kind of trick
That might bring you back.

Most days my love
My love means nothing at all
It's a spare glass slipper
Drowning in fruit punch, down in the wrong dancing hall.

Most days my love
Is a teenage girl's diary
Buried in a sock drawer
Under blueberry condoms and bags of cheap weed.

Well I've got your name, I've got your name.
I've got your name etched in my shiny spare rib.
I swear I won't break, I swear I won't break.
I swear I won't break it like some kind of wishbone.

You left me your top hat
But not enough magic
For the kind of trick
That might bring you back.

You left me your top hat
But not enough magic
For the kind of trick
That might bring you back.

about

Patient Barney Penrose Richmond, Virginia

"As a lyricist, Patient Barney Penrose shares a vividness with Matt Berninger of The National, expressing himself with melancholic, literate concision. These are lyrics that read well without a melody. An extension of an obvious literary talent, they embellish his dulcet arrangements."

Julian Belvedere, HY.GEN.IC London
