lyrics

He arranges all his things
just so:
shine on his boots,
boots by the door,
a pen, a pencil, a lighter and some picks,
a box from Kansas City of
wooden match-sticks.
He reads the Sunday paper,
he hates the Yankees,
he tries to read a column, the columnist is cranky.
He reads his horoscope; it doesn’t
do him any good.
Can you imagine if they knew? Just
imagine if they could.
Baby, baby, baby, why’d you let me down?
I’ve been trying to do better, I’ve been
trying to get around.

He arranges all his things;
he calls them his “effects.”
He puts some kibble in a bowl, his name on a cheque.
He listens to the message saved on the machine

I am just
stopping quick for cigarettes I’ll
see you in fifteen

Baby, baby, baby, why’d you leave me last fall?
I’ve been trying to do better but
today I hit a wall.

7:37 blinking on the microwave. Fly
buzzing, caught between a window pane.
He’s got a real mosaic
going on the table, a
collection of his garbage, a
collection of a fable. Well,
baby, baby, baby, why’d you let me down?
I’ve been trying to do better I’ve been
trying to get around.

He listens to the message saved on the machine

I am just
stopping quick for cigarettes I’ll
see you in fifteen.
K, bye.

Campbell Woods

Campbell Woods pays attention.

He sings soft songs about hard luck. Writing songs rooted in the tradition of Townes Van Zandt, his style is tried and true, but he’s no dinosaur. You’ve heard it all before, but not like this. ... more
