Cass McCombs - Not The Way (2003 Double 7”)
Contempt for all, a vocabulary vow /
Sifting ash, can’t take in from out /
First to know, quick to criticize /
Blow by blow, cunning barbs arise
That’s not the way /
That’s not the way to make /
That’s not the way to make friends
Contempt for love, for everything you’ve drowned /
I know these words can be turned around /
I know you think politeness is what I need /
Well, I don’t, but it might as well have been
That’s not the way /
That’s not the way to make /
That’s not the way to make friends
(repeat)
