You say you don't look at me
I say you don't look so good
I went out in the cold
To buy a paper
Pushing every button in the elevator

But I know
I got my looks
And you got yours
Must have learned them
From a million stars
Oh looks
Oh man
Oh looks
Oh man

I get em on the bus
And I get em on the streets
And I get them from you
Always looking for a reason
Looking for a cure
What can I do
I'm just so tired of you

And I wish the lights would dim
Cause I can see what this is leading to
And it looks real grim

But I know
I got my looks
And you got yours
Guess you just weren't
What I was looking for
Oh looks
Oh man
Oh looks
Oh man

I get em on the bus
And I get on the street
And I get em from you
Always looking for a reason
Looking for a cure
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do

Not my fave by him, but overall I have been liking his stuff more and more.

Nothing about this man's appearance would draw looks.

His lack of talent is even more apparent when the rest of Soul Coughing isn't around to cover it up.

I've always loved the way this guy plays with words. He seems to have some sort of punctuation fetish. I'm sure there's an actual name for it. Anyway, love to hear him.

2nded...3 years later. I'd never heard this song before today, and my first thought was that it was the tamest Soul Coughing song I'd ever heard.

This guy reminds me of Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish - not a very wide vocal range. Ok for a while and then it's like water torture - drip, drip....

Wasn't this the music featured on that euthanasia advert? Suddenly, premature death seems very attractive....

Awesome, 9/10. Can we get some more of the solo Doughty off skittish and rockity roll? Those albums are just great.

mike doughty is awesome, and always entertaining to listen to. we got to see part of his concert (boston traffic :( ) yesterday. Hopefully next time we'll actually get to see the whole thing. We were there mostly to try and see Mike, but the Dave Matthews concert was pretty enjoyable.

You haven't been paying attention. I've had the album for .. err years I think. Nice Packaging, if you like a hand blown CD-R and a white envelope. Pretty nice album.. very different from Soul Coughing. -Adrian
