about

An ode to 1960s pop music.

lyrics

Spend all my luck on good family and friends.
Spend all my time hoping that this won’t end.
I try my best, though I mostly just lose.
But I have more than most rich men can prove.

I’m done with the heartache.
I’m done with the pain.
From now on it’s only passion and flame.
When I’m feeling lonely,
It’s only ‘cause I’m alone.
A couch and a TV
Are not what one calls home.

Spend all my luck on good family and friends.
Spend all my time hoping that this won’t end.
I try my best, though I mostly just lose.
But I have more than most rich men can prove.

I’ll always have my dreams
And what they mean to me.
But people disappear
As seasons turn into years.
And since I’ll come and go,
I don’t want to feel that this wasn’t home.
And so I’ll give up more
In hopes I’ll find the love I implore.

Refreshed and enlightened.
Collected and cooled.
Of course that’s ’til only I play the next fool.
And when I am stricken, I’ll trade guile for tact.
‘Cause I am who I am and I am damn proud of that.

Spend all my luck on good family and friends.
Spend all my time hoping that this won’t end.
I try my best, though I mostly just lose.
But I have more than most rich men can prove.
