Man And Wife, The Latter (Damaged Goods)

Art Fin I think of this band as emo for adults with songs about divorce and lawyers. Conor Oberst had more success in Bright Eyes and solo but this is my favorite project of his. He fully let loose with this.

lyrics

I'm growing out my hair like it was when I was single
It was longer than I'd known you
I had no money then
I had no worries then at all

Such a high standard of living I just feel like I am dying
I would start an argument but you can barely even talk
But there is always good reason for your silence
You have to take care of some business
So I fix your plate and I stay out of the way

And you will stay like that forever,
right in front of your computer
You'll look up one day but you won't recognize me

So now you want to change
You read a letter from a lawyer
Want to take me out to dinner
Want to bury me under a mound of shopping bags

Like it would really make a difference
or make up for your disinterest
I'm a bill you pay
I'm a contract you can't break

And it is like I'm under water
or on an endless escalator
I just go up and up
but I don't ever reach the top

And it reads just like the bible,
twenty centuries of scandal,
I guess it all depends on how you interpret it

The word is LOVE
The word is LOSS
The words are DAMAGED GOODS
That is what I am
A lifetime gets chalked-up to an experience,
coincidence, we are chained to the events
That's it
