lyrics

in the golden age of love’s architecture
Shakespeare was lying drunk in a ditch
scribbling out his rapture
while getting his pocket picked
he said, lust is a subscription
passion’s what its worth
greed is a conviction
love’s a dirty word
you get hung up and you get hurt
love is a dirty word
from a bird’s eye view you can see it
it’s sublime and it’s absurd
you can buy it and you can sell it
but nobody’s figured how to make it work
you can talk about it like a lawyer
you can call it a crush
but in the end it’s all buried treasure
underneath the mud
it brings you down to earth
love is a dirty word
down the snakes and up the ladders
black eyed Mona is my crutch
the mission bell warned me of disaster
but I’m still waiting on the sucker punch
love is a dirty word
you get blind and you get burned
you get hung up and you get hurt
but it brings you down to earth

Father John Misty is so good to listen to when I want to relax. My cat used to seem to like the music too, and we would both chill and listen to the FJM vinyls I own. This album on bandcamp was a nice FJM treat. Michelle May
