Nothing Good Ever Happens at the Goddamn Thirsty Crow

Father John Misty

Livin' it up
You can have it all
Pull more women than any two men or train can haul
But my baby, she does something
Way more impressive than the Georgia Crawl
She blackens pages like a Russian romantic
And gets down more often than a blowup doll

Why the long face, Blondie?
I'm already taken
Sorry
I may act like a lunatic
But if you think I'm fucking crazy
You're mistaken
Keep moving

On the road again
For months at a time
Doesn't take half that long for men about town to forget what's mine
Now my genius can't drink in silence
She's gotta listen to your tired-ass lines
I know it's hard to believe the good-hearted woman
Could have a body that'd make your daddy cry

Why the long face, jerkoff?
Your chance has been taken
Good one
You may think like an animal
But if you try that cat-and-mouse shit
You'll get bitten
Keep movin', oh

    I figured it's:

    And now my genius CAN'T drink in silence She's got to listen to your tired-ass LINES

    i imagine it's about losers chatting her up while he's away.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
