Lyrics
Every time I sleep with someone, I feel less ugly
Every time I sleep with someone, I feel less ugly
Every time I sleep with someone, I feel less ugly
But only for a day or two, then I go back to feeling gross and plain
'Til I go out and fuck again

Song of the Day #22: "Friend [acoustic]"

::

Since I figured it out on ukulele I've been all giddy about "Friend" which has been around now since March or so. I think it's gonna become an Alphabet song but in the meantime, I did a bathtub version.

Meanwhile, I finally had someone explain to me what anti-folk is, and why people have been calling me it; although I still don't exactly understand why it's called anti-folk, I have at least accepted it as a sensible description of the songs I make by myself. So that's okay.

Lyrics
I want you to be my friend because you're pretty
Not only are you pretty, but you're pretty funny, too
I want you to be my friend so I'll feel pretty
And I'll tell funny stories like you do

I want you to be my friend because you're silly
But clever-silly, witty, and cutesy-silly too
I want you to be my friend so I'll feel silly
And tell silly stories like you do

But all I can say is stuff that you've said
But stupid instead, and awkward and bad
And all I can feel is that you are real
And I am unreal and stupid and sad

I need you to be my friend because you're pretty
Not only are you pretty, but you're pretty funny, too
I want you to be my friend so I'll feel pretty
And I'll tell funny stories like you do
Yes I'll tell funny stories like you do
