Bad Faith

about

Written in April of 2015

lyrics

A felon made of any man who leaves a strange neck bruises
You’re the man, the jury jeers, the evidence amuses
Looks a baseball struck my arm, some consequence to reap
Betrays its owners antics and the company he keeps
Scott and Toby sang a few to occupy the air
Loud enough our sounds weren’t emanating up the stairs
Waterfalls of shitty whiskey landed in this cup
Down direction satisfied now struggle for the up

Hold on, Ally, where’d I go wrong?
Enthusiasm, your orgasm, we got along, but then
You make your offer; I’m not prepared
Emasculated morning me regrets the affair, so I
Pervert my memory; she weren’t so cool
A bad faith face to save, ashamed, will poison the pool
She weren’t so cool
A bad faith face to save, ashamed, will poison the pool

Been so long since I’d sunk my home state’s ship
Roslyn’s song reasserts its ownership

The other who you pointed to her status undermined
That competition-killing-move a step in your design
All was well; I couldn’t tell intentions were behind
You couldn’t rest until your interests overlapped with mine
The sofa hosted both of us private as we could find
An expedited effort with a public plan in line
Focus shaken, issue taken with the suction’s strength
The lifespan of the branding longer than the badge’s length

Hold on, Ally, where’d I go wrong?
Enthusiasm, your orgasm, we got along, but then
You make your offer; I’m not prepared
Emasculated morning me regrets the affair, so I
Pervert my memory; she weren’t so cool
A bad faith face to save, ashamed, will poison the pool
She weren’t so cool
A bad faith face to save, ashamed, will poison the pool

Plumes Boston, Massachusetts

Plumes is Ben Long (on the drums!) Tim Green and John Thorsen. Music- listening to it, learning to play it, writing more of it- has been one of few things we've taken really seriously for the last 7 years. These songs grew through many late nights and missed appointments. Our songs are all really about something. It's sincere and sometimes naked. Hope you like it ... more
