Super indie goodness. Think The Mountain Goats. Might not add anything else to this except just re-cutting guitar and vocals.

Lyrics:

Last week I saw you
you were singing kareoke
To an obscure finnish 80s band
It really hurt my feelings
Because after all
I was the one
Who introduced you to their songs
How could you do this to me

too bad nothing really rhymes with
adulterous-attention-grabber

I hereby demand that
you forget the thoughtful lyrics
That might have possibly developed
Into any sort of significance
They're from my favorite tracks
I officially take them back
No longer yours to reminisce

too bad nothing really rhymes with
cold-hearted-plagiarism

I will take the albums
on Tuesdays and Thursdays
You can listen
Monday and Wednesday
Then the vinyls go on Friday
And Weekends we will switch
It's such a shame we couldn't stay
together for the music

All of the t-shirts
That displayed poetic names
of Famous duos have been destroyed
In a trashcan set ablaze
I swear they were mocking me
With their perfect two-part harmony
Who needs t-shirts anyway

too bad nothing really rhymes with
self-loathing-non-conformist

I will take the albums
on Tuesdays and Thursdays
You can listen
Monday and Wednesday
Then the vinyls go on Friday
And Weekends we will switch
It's such a shame we couldn't stay
together for the music

too bad nothing really rhymes with
woefully-spontaneous-ballad

I will take the albums
on Tuesdays and Thursdays
You can listen
Monday and Wednesday
Then the vinyls go on Friday
And Weekends we will switch
It's such a shame we couldn't stay
together for the music
