The Weak in Rock

from Mortal Enemies by David Nagler

    Mortal Enemies is a collaboration with Josh Kaufman, known as a member of supergroups Bonny Light Horseman and Muzz, and for his work on records by Bob Weir, The Hold Steady, Taylor Swift, and many more. Recorded in 2013, Mortal Enemies blurs the line between confessional writing and character-based narratives with staggering intimacy. Comprised of nine Nagler originals and one cover (Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy"), the adventurous musical arrangements touch on folk, psychedelia, soul, and Tropicália. Vinyl includes an MP3 download card.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Mortal Enemies via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Oh baby
this is not a busy night for me
I’m as useless
as an evangelist on Avenue B
Don’t ask me what the time is
my watch stopped hours ago
Don’t ask me what my sign is
I don’t even know

What’s the matter baby
What is it you don’t see
What’s the matter baby
Are your eyes not working properly
I am a creature of habit
a real-life recurring nightmare
So I keep on happening
when there’s no one left to scare

Do I love you?
Will I stand by you?
Probably not.

Get me out of here baby
I didn't save up all my cash for this
Get me out of here baby
I didn’t shave off my mustache for this
I’m full of common courtesy
and I'm full of common sense
but abstinence and temperance
just leave me on the fence

Do I love you?
Will I stand by you?
Probably not.

I didn't read the manual
until everything had broken down
and the manufacturer tried to explain that
There’s no silver ball and chain
and no one is listening
no one is listening
no one is
no one
no

We are among the weak in rock
We are among the weak in rock
And the child of the moon
is now the new kid on the block
