lyrics

There was a click click click of a preposition stick before my alarm went off, there was a rock and roll show on transistor radio where every night I'd get lost. The garage door goes alive at 5:25, meant the old man was here, there was a snap from a hand on an aluminum can when he opened his beer.

I hope this ain't my life flashing before my ears
All this memories bringing back tbe years.

( Chorus)
I keep on visiting the museum of forgotten sounds every time the memories come around .
I keep on visiting the museum of forgotten sounds
Every time the memories come around

A sound that got me stable on the Garrard turntable when the needle went down, there was a sticking bang where the Louvre doors would hang, somebody coming around. Didn't hear much at all, the carpets wall to wall in the 60's that screamed plush, as an adolescent you know I pumped incessant the bathroom sound said flush.

I hope this ain't my life flashing before my ears, all these memories bringing back the years.

( Chorus)

The cellar stairs were wood, you were stepping down for good, band practice happened there, if memory serves correct there was serious neglect for formal scales and fastidious care. So above was the TV, so loud you'd wanna flee, screaming in your head, at 11 was the news, Carson's early views at 12:45 and all to bed.

I spend a lot of time alone these days, so my brain has crazy ways. I hope this ain't my life flashing before my ears, these memories bringing back the years.

(Chorus)

Hey you there, do you love Jeffrey Lewis? Do you love Peter Stampfel? Are you intrigued by the notion of music that has spent so many years secretly soaking in laughter and joy that it is now downright psychedelic to look upon? Both Ways is the culmination of a decade's friendship and mutual inspiration, a behemoth of a double album, spectacular, unique. It is a signpost for drifting souls. Listen, laugh, wonder, delight, be made new. And play Orgone Accumulator fucking LOUD. Grain Sparrow
