the jeffrey lewis & peter stampfel band - both ways lyrics
ready?
totally untutored music
makes the experts look like fools
you can tear down walls with no sk!ll at all
truth and feeling are the truest tools
when you see a band flailing and wailing
like the gig is their last or their first
you know you’re gonna get a set you’ll never forget
that never ever happens when rehe+rs+d
i wanna hear songs that can make me sigh
plus make me wanna fight like it’s do or die
(but on the other hand)
totally impeccable artists
at thе peak of technique and control
with thе life of construction, mind blowing production
and a g+nius visionary soul
craftsmen and craftswomen
eternal, giant and earth shaking
like the colosseum, metropolitan museum
they are indeed universally breathtaking
i wanna hear songs that’ll make me high
plus make me wanna fight like it’s do or die
thoughtful music school nerds or an untaught fool
who absurdly and vainly plays, i want it both ways
just one way, nuh+uh
just the other way, nuh+uh
neither way, nuh+uh
both ways, both ways, yeah
totally aggressive music
makes me not wanna be a wimp
in this world you’ve gotta stretch to get better than yourself
you can’t just curl up and go limp
anyone can do self pity
anyone can whine and mope
but a gangster go getter or a death metal setter
makes you wanna be bold and cope
i wanna hear songs that can make me cry
plus make me wanna fight and live free or die
(and on the other hand)
some sensitive, shy singer+songwriter types
reveal true guts to me
i really can’t stand when there’s some macho band
scared of any vulnerability
cos everyone’s got secret insides
real artists strip it all out loose
not just about a good time, they put themselves on the line
risking embarrassment and abuse
i wanna hear songs that can make me sigh
plus make me wanna fight like it’s do or die
admit you’re unsure or face it with a pure
hardcore gaze, i want it both ways
just one way, nuh+uh
just the other way, nuh+uh
neither way, nuh+uh
both ways, both ways, yeah
is it a contradiction to want fact and fiction?
is it greedy to like graffiti and van eyck?
disco, funk and a punk that’s drunk
i wanna hear him behaving straight edge skinheads
and purple haze, i want it both ways
just one way, nuh+uh
just the other way, nuh+uh
neither way, nuh+uh
i want it both ways, both ways, yeah
both ways, both ways, yeah
both ways, both ways, yeah
