Lyrics:
The rain rotted house on the dead end of Baytree
old bitter lady
Sits caddy corner to the aftershock from the quarry
She says “America’s a spoiled child
that’s ignorant of grief”
but then she gives out full sizes candy bars on Halloween
We had to add it to the tab
to die we’d have to settle up
but we just go until we can’t
or burn it down to feel the heat
The Kletz brothers parents fight in the yard in their underwear
Bobby and Jimmy sit in the baby pool with lice in their hair
They have scoliosis from constant slumps in misery
Flat parts on their crew cuts from layin their heads on their knees
We had to add it to the tab
to die we’d have to settle up
but we just go until we can’t
or burn it down to feel the heat
Georgie set fire to acres of cotton settin of model rockets
The kid from the Jewish family got the preachers kid pregnant
but they sent her of and we never heard too much more about it
The sweet talk never lasts and you learn to go on without it
We had to add it to the tab
to die we’d have to settle up
but we just go until we can’t
or burn it down to feel the heat
Somebody called the cops on Mandy and her boyfriend
When they busted in they found that her house was a front for a mob thing
Pulled guns and cocaine from the drywall wrapped in newspaper
We gathered in the tall grass and watched unblinking as they cuffed em and hauled em away
We had to add it to the tab
to die we’d have to settle up
but we just go until we can’t
or burn it down to feel the heat
when we give up we go
to sleep

"They have scoliosis from constant slumps in misery" Pure poetry

[@zd91]

I can't stop listening to this song. It has the storytelling of a folk song, but it sounds grungey and country. Love discovering new bands.

[@ITAMAE3000]

"Dirty old river, must you keep rolling, flowing into the night" "People so busy make me feel dizzy, taxi lights shine so bright"

[@jakeringenberg9748]

I hear some Waterloo Sunset in here and I love it :)

[@essemmetv]

(I heard that too...that's a plain ripoff, unfortunately)

[@anononomous]

​@@essemmetv People don't worry about outright covers. What bothers people so much about a song that sounds a bit like something else in places but does something very different with the sound overall?

[@optical_path]

​@@essemmetv cry about it

[@cranberry6pointOh]

Same. I think those licks are from a folk tune that the Kinks used for Waterloo. So no copyright infringement worries for Wednesday.

[@TBrosProject]

Sounds like they copied and pasted the verse melody. Even to the point of starting a line with two names a la Teri and Julie…

[@lokijohn3237]

Undeniable album of the year, so fucking killer

[@ktmannion]

"Dirty old river, must you keep rollin'". Speaking of which, sadly I won't see them in London, as they've already sold out. I love Wednesday.

[@bugmanuk]

Yeah I heard that too!

[@josephgroves2601]

Aha yepppp exactly my thought too!

[@BigLucille]

Ha, that did sound rather familiar! Good catch.

[@jettmanjonathan]

Oh man! I feel like I'm 22 again discovering really cool music in the 90s! Love it

[@igavehimadollar3354]

exactly what i was thinking

[@renboneify]

inspired in part by The Sundays, makes sense

[@JessBoldt]

This is goddamn amazing. Guitar driven rock with perfect lyrics.

[@ryanmarsh9072]

Opening sounds like a Pavement song. Love love it

[@zkentzkentzkent9004]

I listened to the whole album carefully, and I think they save their best tracks to the end of the album. Greetings from Turkey:)

[@connortoth4362]

I grew up on quarry road, snuck out to the abandoned quarry through the abandoned railroad track trail through the woods to smoke weed and party with my friends. This hit home!

[@jgc02]

Can't wait to see you live again, this time at a much larger venue! So glad Wednesday is getting the recognition they deserve!

[@donshe50yahoo]

Song reminds me of a saying on my coffee mug "just another shitty day in paradise". Love this song.

[@comradehermit9320]

It's about fucking time indie rock hit Gummo country. Peace, love and empathy from Appalachia.

[@tyk8402]

No cat is safe

[@urmumsbaps]

@gas-huffer I have some bad news for you buddy

[@miked4309]

i love 6 songs on this album. shoegaze makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. something soothing about the droning guitars.

[@SarahSmoothieface]

Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Wednesday ❤❤

[@youthofyesterdayrecords]

I love all of them.

[@miked4309]

@@youthofyesterdayrecords the only reason im not in love with everything is b/c i dont like country/western music.

[@bonkyb8587]

​​​@@miked4309 too bad because there is some great, weird country out there. When I hear Wednesday's slightly bent country songs, with the beautiful steel guitar, I can tell they truly love the genre. A present of Jonny Corndawg. Country genius. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHrTnYZqobh7oposi=XwENcKDm_bDG4Deg

[@miked4309]

@@bonkyb8587 i like rockabilly and psychobilly. i love the supersuckers. theyve got a southern rock kinda thing.

[@ptklip]

Wow. You guys have such an epic sound. This is so nice, man.

[@b1merio]

Neat. 90s alt rock is in vogue again.

[@pauldyson1327]

The seamless shift from Verses to the Chorus without a bridge. I haven't heard that in so long. This song is amazing....I could say a lot more But I think that somes it up. Awesome fucking song.

[@PianowithNate]

The sly look Karly gives right after saying "mob thing" at 2:55 - like she's spilling some juicy goss - is SO compelling

[@drwily8285]

This song is great. It does do some different and unique things, but you honestly can't deny the plain fact that when it comes to the verse melody specifically, it's a pretty unapologetic and blatant lift of "Waterloo Sunset". I don't mind it - the melody is wonderful and classic. But also good to acknowledge where it came from.

[@gdub999tub.]

I agree completely that this sounds like Kinks/Waterloo Sunset. What I wonder is whether it's a lift, or an uncanny case of reinventing the wheel. Is it possible that this young lady never even heard the Kinks song but came up with the melody on her own - especially because it's based on a very common three-chord (1-5-4) progression)? I really don't know, just wondering... Either way, it is one of the best melodies I have ever heard.

[@Johnmorr_]

Amazing song amazing video amazing band

[@SDCDIABLO]

This song reminds me of waterloo sunset by the kinks, but I mean that in the biggest complimentary way possible.

[@augusts1]

Great album. Loving it.

[@robgrubb420]

the lyrics of this song are NUTS live by the quarry and feel aftershocks all the time and there is an old lady that lived around the corner that gave out full size candy bars on halloween...

[@johnned4848]

Saw them last night. Great show . Imagine Wilco fronted by Lucinda Williams

[@ScreamingTurtle1]

Sick music video! Righteous progression throughout!

[@michaelguenza1719]

Heard this bang bang banger on KCPR yesterday driving up 101 in the late Sunday afternoon... college radio lives!

[@hunterbanks3428]

Banging track! Feels like the rural/smalltown counterpart to that Lou Reed track "Romeo Had Juliet". Y'all rock

[@ranrancrabgrabber]

one of my favs from the album frl

[@kevinhough7122]

Phenomenal. Love you guys. Can't wait to see you at Kilby & in Denver!

[@SmartStr33t]

My favourite track off the album is What's So Funny? It's amazing to hear such a strong track that wasn't even one of the singles.

[@lk29392]

Amazing song, wow!

[@declanallan885]

this is actually pretty nice!

[@jasonshields9443]

Good golly i'm excited for this puppy to drop!!

[@Matt-zj1pm]

Great song!!

[@ronnywilson2112]

I love these types of bands like Wednesday, Soccer Mommy, Snail Mail, Waxahatchee, etc., who sound a lot like 90s artists like Liz Phair, Cat Power, The Sundays, Pavement, Sebadoh, Lemonheads, The Flaming Lips, Tripping Daisy, Bikini Kill, Le Tigre and The Breeders.

[@Matt-zj1pm]

I highly recommend Snarls too (if you have not heard of them) Walk In The Woods, Better Off, Twenty - all great songs by them!

[@ronnywilson2112]

@@Matt-zj1pm Thank you, I'm going for it.

[@shawnrynearson6114]

Not only did I find this gem, but I found out MJ Lenderman is in the band. Epic!

Haha. About 8 months ago I did same two step. Found MJ first and then Wednesday (whom I adore) was second.

[@pisforpink11]

@@glc0stanza me too - saw MJ open for Plains (Jess Williamson & Katie Crutchfield) I had the last Wednesday record Twin Plagues, but didn't make the connection until I saw MJ live
