lyrics

Who am I to sing the blues?
Who am I to wake up with you darlin'?
Promise to get you a new buckskin
I promise to bring you medicine when you're old

The family doctor called and left you a message
They said it gets better
They lied, and you know it's true

The family doctor called and left you a message
They said it gets better
They lied, and you know it's true

Walking past the house where your mother buried your second brother
It's scary to think how long its been
Oh the houses got smaller the trees got taller
You feel a little bit older than you oughta
Then you oughta baby baby baby oh

The family doctor called and left you a message
They said it gets better
They lied, and you know it's true

The family doctor called and left you a message
They said it gets better
They lied, and you know it's true

Oh take me home baby
Oh bury me darlin'
If we don't make it home baby
Then let me down softly

Who am I to sing the blues?
Who am I to make love to you darlin'?
Promise to lay you down on animal skin
And I promise to never fuck your best friend if you won't

The family doctor called and left you a message
They said it gets better
They lied, and you know it's true

The family doctor called and left you a message
They said it gets better
They lied, and you know it's true

Oh take me home baby
Oh bury me darlin'
If we don't make it home baby
Then let me down softly

John Travoltage San Francisco, California

John Travoltage draw their influences from such retro-rock acts as The Minutemen, Superchunk and Pavement, skate and surf punk bands like NOFX and Rancid, and contemporary neo-garage bands like Wavves and Japandroids. While the songs follow pop structure for the sake of palatability and dance-ability, JTV seeks to subvert the inherent nature of pop aesthetics with bratty and iconoclastic lyrics. ... more
