lyrics

Let’s just remember
That I did not want to come here
You invited me
You begged me to go
And now the crowd’s in silence
Watching your guitar god
But he’s just a balding man
It’s just a show
It’s so pretentious so familiar
It’s so thoughtless it’s so boring
It’s exactly like you

I drink club soda
Cause we’re hoping to get pregnant.
But you’re tossing back shots
Like you drink for two
And then you’re in the alley
Smoking with your buddy
Getting high again
You said you no longer do
I’m just your designated driver
You’re my sperm bank
Though I don’t think
You’ll be good for that tonight.

And I’ve been nothing here but kind and patient
I said that I’d always be true
But I’ve been sitting by these empty bar stools
I see this means nothing to you

This ring is your trophy
I’ll keep it sparkly and polished
My head’s the only place where I am ever honest
And I hate it there

At our tenth reunion
I ran into all the men that I discarded
When I said yes to you
What happened to our Kappa Sweetheart
Social chairman
Tell me all about it
Come to my room
They’re all lawyers, neurosurgeons
They’re all someone
Does my someone
Even know where I have gone

Everything in Pen San Francisco

Combining the pop sensibility of Big Star and narrative observations of Jonathan Richman and Aimee Mann, Everything in Pen’s songs cover many topics---war criminals, sexism, and Dave Eggers--through her unique lens as an obsessive reader. She sings the things you won’t say aloud, of the foolishness, the hopefulness and the almost unbearable humanness of us all. ... more
