I had this friend his name was Marc with a "c"
His sister was like the heat coming off the back of an old TV

:)

this happy hour has got us by the balls

Songs build little rooms in time
And housed within the song’s design
Is the ghost the host has left behind
To greet and sweep the guest inside
Stoke the fire and sing his lines

his brother who was missing the part of the brain that let's you make out with your pillow

I passed an abandoned drive-in
With ivy growing over the screen
It was like I caught Hollywood sleeping-
Asleep without the dreams

if your dreams are your body telling you it's confused
then I've got a dream I think you could use

All this new technology
will eventually give us new feelings
that will never completely displace the old ones
leaving everyone feeling quite nervous
and split in two.

no one should have two lives
now you know my middle names are wrong and right
honey we've got two lives to give tonight

When you feel that first ice cold twist in the wind
Will you hang a lamp at the end of the lane?

Holding hands, starlit walks
Making plans, silly talk
All I see are couples in the street
I always had a hunch
I would crumble in the crunch
Yeah, maybe I'm the only one for me

^That one was co-written with Dan Auerbach, so I'm not sure how much of it was him and how much of it was DCB. A great song regardless!

it was from an aborted attempt at auerbach to produce the record, he must have contributed enough to the chord progression or arrangement to get a credit, but if auerbach could write lyrics like that i'd imagine he'd have done it at least once before in his life

hahah fair enough, I'm actually pretty unfamiliar with his stuff, never been a Black Keys fan, etc.

We’re off to the land of club soda unbridled
We’re off to the land of hot middle-aged women
