Uh oh. Sounds like the cold patch has completely swallowed Mr. Light Switch. Don’t let this happen to you, kids. Maybe Ordinary Man can save his friend-turned-foe. He’d better hurry.

LYRICS
I’ve been trying to find
Some reasons to live
All the people I love
All the shits I could give
All my doctors and friends
They say the right stuff
And I’m trying hard mom
But I’m just not that tough
I been down here before
And I clawed my way back
I’ve been forcing the feelings
I once again lack
And the time’s drawing near
At least that’s how it seems
When I never wake up
From these terrible dreams
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Lala la lala la
Lala la lala la
Lala la lala la la
I’ve been trying to find
Some good reasons to live
You’ve been trying to help
I’m appreciative
If you don’t happen to have
Some good reasons to live
The least you could do
Is forget or forgive
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Lala la lala la
Lala la lala la
Lala la lala la la

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
