Ordinary Man really should rub his wife’s feet more. Superheroes give awesome massages. Jean Cook’s picking and Ken Flagg’s piano pounding make this song.

LYRICS
It's so easy to take it for granted
It's so easy to wish it away
It's so easy to wonder what's out there
But it's even easier to stay
I’ve never cheated
You think that I have
I want you to think that
I wish I were bad
I wish I were better
I wish I weren't me
I wish we still fucked
Like that first year or three
It's so easy to take it for granted
It's so easy to piss it away
It's so easy to wonder what's out there
But it's even easier to stay
I love that you love me
Or say that you do
I love you still say it
Like you think it's still true
I should treat you better
I should rub your feet
But I'm glad that you're there
As we both fall asleep
It's so easy to take it for granted
It's so easy to wish it away
It's so easy to wonder what's out there
But it's even easier to stay

It's the essence of TMJ to follow up a smart song about the need to forge new memories with a killer that grooves on everything great and awful about the 1970s. Brash, confident, and deeply pleasurable -- and its vibe is punctured by the new old b-side's warning "living backwards in time/losing your mind." As always, TMJ has it all ways, beautifully. Alan S
