One of our first songs written together. Rachel reflecting on past lovers and the days she used to drink. Rob decided to take a new approach on a blues inspired guitar pattern.
lyrics
Well, I gave him the world my eyes opened wide
He left me at prom, cheated and lied
The girl was mean and empty and bland
But I still wear his rind on the finger of my hand
These tales that I tell come from days not so swell
When love wet the ground, not looking I fell
My luck shot to shit but I’ve still got my wit
So I quite the drinking, my heart’s opened a bit
Tales that I tell
Tales that I tell
Tales that I tell
Fare thee well
Now silver spoon guy wears a blazer and tie
Women in high heels too many to decide
I threw my bottle straight at his head
Man I wish I would have chose his best friend instead
These tales that I tell come from days not so swell
When love wet the ground, not looking I fell
My luck shot to shit but I’ve still got my wit
So I quite the drinking, my heart’s opened a bit
Tales that I tell
Tales that I tell
Tales that I tell
Fare thee well
Mister pretty of the city never one to have wit
Night came around we just couldn’t quit
A wife, a girlfriend, neither was me
So I packed my bags and moved from the sea
These tales that I tell come from days not so swell
When love wet the ground, not looking I fell
My luck shot to shit but I’ve still got my wit
So I quite the drinking, my heart’s opened a bit
Tales that I tell
Tales that I tell
Tales that I tell
Fare thee well

I LOVE this band. they never disappoint and every time I hear them it's a different growing sound. GAMMA KNIFE has been stuck in my head for a long while. I have their other records but i've never owned this. Ya know, it kicks major ass! nickvoid
A slow drip of Tropicália-infused psychedelia from New Orleans rock outfit Blue Basin: balmy one moment, aggressive the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 22, 2022

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
