LYRICS

I am a liar and a cheat
I faced evil and I got beat
I feel no sorrow
I feel no shame
I merely marvel
What I became

Thought I was a good man
I will be good to you
But you will not believe
The things that I can do

The things that I can do might make you tremble
The things that I can do might make you cry
The things that I can do do not resemble
the actions of an ordinary guy

I’m not unfeeling
I just don’t care
Been nice and wild
Nice don’t compare
I feel no sorrow
I feel no shame
I merely marvel what I became

Thought I was a good man
I will be good to you
But you will not believe
The things that I can do

The things that I can do might make you tremble
The things that I can do might make you cry
The things that I can do do not resemble
the actions of an ordinary guy

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
