And I don’t believe in god
So I can’t be saved
All alone as I’ve learned to be
In this mess I have made
Ben Folds Five - Mess
“This next song is about this guy who came, uh, over to visit, he’s an English guy, and he used to work for - or, he said he used to work for Paul McCartney, uh, back in the day. And he stopped in the town I was living in, Nashville, Tennessee, and everyone was pretty impressed with him and invited him to all the parties, and all the girls had crushes on him ‘cause he had a funny accent. And then we started thinking he might be an ax killer or something, but we didn’t know. And he said, ‘Well I’m going to be leaving tonight, I’ve got a plane to catch tomorrow, so, um … why don’t you throw me a party?’ so we threw him a party, but then, he’s like, next day, he comes rockin’ up, he’s like, ‘I seemed to have missed my plane, can we have another party?’ So this happened a few times and then we were over it, so this song is for Steven who wouldn’t leave, it’s his last night in town.”

I tried to tell you, tried to tell you,
took a little bit too long.
And now your phone is disconnected
and your shit’s out on the lawn.
The Hardback Cafe closed down,
now we’ve got Office Town -
you should’ve stuck around.
There go Ross and Frank again,
they’re holding hands,
asking where you’ve been
like I’d know where you’ve been.
