Is there something in your smile
Or is it all just in my mind?
Your lips are so versatile
And you and me so undefined
I choose every word with caution
I guess that could be the appeal
But in every bar in Austin
Someone’s singing what I feel
I want to love you
I want to treat you right
I want to rub you
And hold you through the night
But something stops me
From doing what I might
And then it drops me
Alone in bed tonight
Took a tumble yesterday
And broke a finger on my hand
Thought I heard the doctor say
As he sawed off my wedding band
You might regret this course of action
That’s true of any choice you make
But while regret holds some attraction
Doing nothing’s the real mistake
I want to love you
I want to treat you right
I want to rub you
And hold you through the night
But something stops me
From saying what I could
You climb atop me
I know I’m gone for good

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
