lyrics
I don't wanna be funny anymore.
I don't wanna be funny anymore.
Lately, I've been feeling like the odd man out.
I hurt my friends saying things I don't mean out loud.
I don't wanna be funny anymore.
I got a too short skirt, maybe I can be the cute one.
Is there room in the band? I don't need to be the front man.
If not, then I'll be the biggest fan.
I don't want the joke to be on me.
Yeah, I'll buy the clothes and I'll be the best dressed.
Yeah, I'll read the books and I'll be the smartest.
I'll play guitar and I'll be the artist.
Try not to laugh.
I know it'll be hard.
I'm serious.
I know it's a first but...
I don't wanna be funny anymore.
Yeah, I'll be the gossip, hear it through the grape vine.
Pass it on, she's done with the old times.
That funny girl doesn't wanna smile for a while.

Like "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and Greg Laswell, this song by Merle Haggard was written to wait almost 50 years for Bridgers to tell us what it really means. Hell of a perfect, tragic arrangement. Jamming Device

The EP that got me into vocal music, got me into Bandcamp, got me into “pop,” odd as it is to say. Just an incredible idea pulled off brilliantly. Excellent mixing, characteristically great production, and all the songs chosen for arrangement lend themselves perfectly. It plays like the relief of a shadow on a hot day; a welcome embrace of contemplative, inevitable, necessary darkness. Jamming Device
Woozy, rollicking indie rock that's thick and humid, searching vocals set against pealing guitars. Also available on cassette. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 22, 2016
Hooky-as-hell guitar pop from this Brooklyn artist that explores the ways people we have known live in us beyond death. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 8, 2022
