Father John Misty - The Memo Lyrics

The Memo by Father John Misty
Album : Pure Comedy
Released : 2017
Genre : Alternative Rock
Label : Sub Pop Records

I’m gonna steal some bedsheets
From an amputee
I’m gonna mount em on a canvas
In the middle of the gallery
I’m gonna tell everybody
It was painted by a chimpanzee
Just between you and me
Here at the cultural low watermark
If it’s *** or art
They’ll pay you to believe

I’m gonna take five young dudes
From white families
I’m gonna mount ’em on a billboard
In the middle of the country
I’m gonna tell everybody
They sing like angels with whiter teeth
But just between you and me
They’re just like the ones before
With their standards lower
Another concert-goer will pay you to believe

Oh, caffeine in the morning, alcohol at night
Cameras to record you and mirrors to recognize
And as the world is getting smaller, small things take up all your time
Narcissus would have had a field day if he could have got online
And friends it’s not self-love that kills you
It’s when those who hate you are allowed
To sell you that you’re a glorious ***
The entire world revolves around
And that you’re the eater, no not the eaten
But that your hunger will only cease
If you come binge on radiant blandness
At the disposable feast

(You’re enjoying the chill winter playlist)
Just quickly how would you rate yourself
[?]
In terms of *** appeal and cultural significance?
(Irony, irony
Blo blo blo blo blo blo blo)
Do you usually listen to music like this?
(Just one more mile, you can do it again)
Can we recommend some similar artists?
(This is totally the song of my summer)
Are you feeling depressed?
(This guy just gets me)
But your feedback’s important
To us
(Music is my life)

Gonna buy myself a sports team
And put ’em in a pit
I’m gonna wage the old crusade
Against consciousness
All I need’s a couple winners
To get every loser to fight in it
Keep the golden calf
Just need the ***
And they won’t just sell themselves into slavery
They’ll get on their knees and pay you to believe

○ ” Father John Misty ” Songs :

● “Nancy From Now On”

[Quotable]
I’m going where my body leads me
I can fend for myself
With what looks I have left
I’ll put away a few
And pretty soon I’ll be breaking things like Howard Hughes

● “The Night Josh Tillman Came To Our Apartment”

[Quotable]
We sang “Silent Night” in three parts which was fun
Till she said that she sounds just like Sarah Vaughan
I hate that soulful affectation white girls put on
Why don’t you move to the Delta?
I obliged later on when you begged me to choke ya

● “Holy ***”

[Quotable ]
Age-old gender roles
Infotainment, capital
Golden boughs and mercury
Bohemian nightmare,
Dust bowl chic
This documentary’s lost on me
Satirical news, free energy
Mobile lifestyle, loveless ***
Independence, happiness

● “Bored In The USA”

[Quotable ]
Oh, just a little bored in the USA
Save me, white Jesus
Bored in the USA
Oh, they gave me a useless education
And a subprime loan
On a craftsman home

● “Real Love Baby”

[Quotable ]
I’m in love, I’m alive
I belong to the stars and sky
Let’s forget who we are for one night
We’re not animals baby
It’s the people who lie

● “He Doesn’t Know Why “

[Quotable ]
See your rugged hands and a silver knife
Twenty dollars in your hand that you hold so tight
All the evidence of your vacant life
My brother, you were gone

● “Blue Ridge Mountains”

[ Quotable]
You’re ever welcome with me any time you like
Let’s drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes
So no one gets worried, no

● “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song”

[Quotable]
Dear shadow, alive and well
How can the body die?
You tell me everything
Anything true
