You’re probably keeping someone else busy
You were living off my dime and in between my sheets
So if you want my money
Honey, I’ll buy you a ticket outta town
Cause now we know you like to get around
How ya been, let’s see
Can you get your story straight with me?
You reassured me it was just coffee
But when you called to tell me
She was waiting on the other line
I guess that’s what you meant
When you said you were doing fine
This town ain’t big enough for the two of us
This town ain’t big…
Do I need to spell it out?
No I won’t cut you no slack
Leave and don’t you ever come back
No don’t you ever come back

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness. Bandcamp New & Notable May 13, 2016
