I could afford one...
Oct. 5th, 2009 05:19 pmNot sure yet what I think of the new Miranda Lambert album, Revolution* (in other words, so far I'm disappointed), but the following stanza cracks me up:
Time to get a gun
That's what I been thinking
I could afford one...
OK, I won't spoilerate it for you. Here it is on MySpace.
(Chord pattern reminds me a bit of "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere," but I'm too full of lassitude to verify this on guitar.)
EDIT: Song is by Fred Eaglesmith, whose own version is streamed on this Eaglesmith tribute site.
*I like the fast songs better than the slow ones, which isn't strange given my taste for rock, but she'd done slow ones beautifully on Kerosene. I do especially like the opening two tracks on Revolution - "White Liar" and "Only Prettier" - though I wonder if there's a pandering subtext to the lyrics of the latter that's done skillfully enough so that no matter who you are you can be the one being pandered to, depending on your self-image, that is.
