another sunny day - "You should all be murdered"

"One day, when the world is set to right
 I'm going to murder all the people I don't like"


yet super catchy, great guitar work

Poppy little divorce tune. 

 

Dead Man Winter is my favorite iteration of Dave Simonett and that album is among his best work.  After his divorce, Dave spent a lot of time kicking around the Driftless Area of SE MN (the part of Iowa I live in is part of this region as well) when he didn't have his kids and the album is full of references to places I know well, all drenched in that reflective sense of loss.  A lot of that era went into the TBT's "Life Is Good On The Open Road" as well (Kelly's Bar is a real place I've been to several times), which might actually be my favorite TBT album.

I think this track (which might be my all time favorite Simonett song) fits the bill of this thread as well.

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
End up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just to cover it up, now
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hands
Send me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said, "Son, if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said, "Son, don't you understand, now?"
I had a brother at Khe Sanh
Fighting off all the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms, now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go

it took way way way too long to get The Police mentioned on this thread

I mean Sting was literally the King Of (Pain) sad lyrics with happy music.
