about

from the full length record Full Buck Moon

lyrics

the cat's on the counter
the dog is on her hind
while the tip of my tongue
fights the back of my mind

there's garbage in the mailbox
and the sky is full of clouds
the garden is gettin' anxious
for the rain to come down

there's cash in the cupboard
and daddy is at the motel
the blue glow of the TV
shinin' off the windowsill
$10 of comfort
is $10 on the bill

the drunkard in the corner
tussles with his past
his eyes full of soot
with fire in his glass
and his paycheck has gone to ashes
and his hands always burn
his numbers never hit
and that boy won't ever learn

and the 9th hour woman
come out to talk trash
to the lonely men walkin'
with the shadows on their backs
to buy $10 of comfort
for $10 cold hard cash

there's gold in the cradle
but the evidence is vague
i've grown weary of the virtues
from one million loud mouth saints
they say, "mama, they don't pray like us"
while they don't pray at all
and big brother takes confession
in a fast food bathroom stall
he ties the tourniquet
and sees the light
there's no penance
if God don't mind
just $10 of comfort
and a habit for life
go ahead and check the clock
is he on time?

Gar Clemens Greensboro, North Carolina

Gar Clemens' delightful Americana-influenced-folk debut full-length may be simple, sleepy and comforting, but it is also thematically captivating, and all too capable of stirring up the kind of nagging life sentiments usually reserved for when your head hits the pillow.
