You were your new mamma’s joy
For a couple of minutes
Then the fertility drugs kicked in
The biological girl
Said you were gonna be punished
So you might as well sin
And now you’re out the door
In the pouring rain
And you swear that you
Will never be back again
But you’re still in town
In the local jail
Because the mom you knew
Decided to turn you in
When you went to the store to
Buy instant love
But it cost too much
So you stole it
Well you can never pick favorites
Between who’s been inside
But that adoption could be aborted
If she doesn’t say it
You still know what she’s thinking
From how her face contorted
And now you’re on the way
Hope your boyfriend’s home
But he doesn’t want
The thing that you need the most
And you’re on the road
In a stolen car
Wearing stolen shoes
That won’t walk you very far
And you went to the store to
Buy instant love,
But it cost too much
So you stole it
Withered Hand is quieter and more straight-forward than NSPS, but shares a certain outlook. Dan Willson is one of the best songwriters around—he can make you smile and tear up in the same rhyme. NSPS
In addition to making me feel better by taking (almost?) as long as NSPS to finish a new album, swo17 washes over you with rich sonic textures. Become one with the music. NSPS
