lyrics

POLAROIDS ON THE FLOOR

Hey Greasy Rider
you’re making the grade
you really got yourself some respect
you got yourself laid
Oh but the years go by
and you don’t feel the same
then God appeared to you
in a dream
last night
and this is what he said:

Well, yes, things have gone badly
surely
in this season of living poorly
as I move about the chorus
where the notes are high
there’s garbage in my dreams
encore, un Coeur
If livin’s for life,
What is this life for?
It’s for polaroids
polaroids on the floor
Whoa no I’ve got to my bit God
I’ve gotta make my amends
He said oh no you don’t, my son:
Go be with your friends
But that’s the problem you see,
they’re the ones who sent me to you
He just laughed, and coughed and said, Piss off —
I just told you the truth

Well, yes, things have gone badly
surely
in this season of living poorly
as I move about the chorus
where the notes are high
there’s garbage in my dreams
encore, un Coeur
If livin’s for life,
What is this life for?
It’s for polaroids
polaroids on the floor

things have gone badly
surely
I never found no one to adore me
so I just stayed inside on the couch
and I got high
I dreamt my garbage dreams
‘til my hands were sore
I never got off
I got something more
I got these polaroids
polaroids on the floor

about

Joey Sweeney Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Joey Sweeney has recorded and performed as a solo artist, with The Barnabys and The Trouble With Sweeney, receiving widespread critical acclaim; of his last record with The Trouble With Sweeney, Pitchfork said “[Sweeney] mixes autobiography and fiction against the group’s 70s-inflected indie pop, resourceful— and unabashed— enough to digress into an E Street interlude or an AM-rock guitar coda.” ... more
