about

2005, Philadelphia

lyrics

I stole every word of every line of every song I ever wrote.
Standing in the darkness with an empty drink
Tapping against my leg like a tambourine.

Every song’s a copy of a copy of a feeling I had once
Maybe we should just give up on metaphor
Thinking that the modern day’s unworthy of
Future introspection or dramatic verbs
Singing about the internet and mobile phones
How our lives are just performances in binary code

I had an abortion yesterday
And it got me wondering how our lives could change but stay the same
My bloods too thin. There’s water in my veins.

Your brilliant strategy’s toast
Your brilliant strategy waste all my money complaining
It’d be the best for us both
We got no energy left to keep us going each day

You’re brilliant strategy’s toast
To spend each summer back in Philadelphia
Waiting for the boys you love most
To both come to their senses and change that juvenile name
We got no energy left, what I if isn’t okay?

Every song sound better when it’s from the lips of one you love the most.
Johnny sang it to me down on South Gerard
Called him up on stage and made him play guitar.

Every song’s a copy of a copy of a punchline to a joke
I don’t even recognize this place no more
Your favorite couples grow up and then get divorced.
Who could really blame them? You’re an anxious boy.
Maybe you should just give up that perfect search
No one really loves you ‘til they love your words

I drank from the ocean yesterday
And the salty water caused my organs one by one to fail
Now everyone’s got something else to blame.

Your brilliant strategy’s toast
Your brilliant strategy waste all my money complaining
It’d be the best for us both
We got no energy left to make our demos, okay?


You’re brilliant strategy’s toast
To work each summer for the Warminster mafia
Waiting for the boys you love most
To both come to their senses, so we can get ourselves paid
We’ve got no energy left, so let’s call it a day.

Jacob The Horse Los Angeles, California

Jacob the Horse met on a Greek island when our daughter tricked us into coming to her wedding in order to figure out which one of us was her real father.

Interest includes: loud guitars, catchy melodic hooks, and cramming as many words into their songs as possible.

They’ve been called “too loud” and “fun, but with depressing lyrics” by friends and enemies alike. ... more
