do you feel good/do you feel better now
wish I could/wish I could remember how
plodding through another day/plotting some kind of means to escape
now I get mileage/out of things you cannot use
empty stomach/drinking on nothing to choose
all it takes is grain, water, and time/next thing i know you're on my mind
you only knew one thing worth knowing
and that was when the bomb would blow
•i can see your hands working/and i'm taking it on the chin/roll me over, roll me under/roll the credits at the end•
then you gave me one to grow on/yeah you gave me one to go
and i only know one thing worth knowing/
and that's how it feels when the bomb blows
Like most songs on the album this song shifts between two distinct modes that work great separately, but when they combine, they become Voltron and are unstoppable! bradykoch
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
Just like the title says, this charming pop confection from the New Jersey three-piece skips from jangly high to high on their new EP. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 7, 2023
Well-written, well-recorded, well-produced. Lots of differenttempos/textures, yet still has a cohesive sound, anchored by that gorgeous voice..great guitar work also
