HIGH MAINTENANCE
Your clear view changes a bit
You remain forsworn to participate in feats of strength
You blend your vile nature
With my own inspired points of view
You write worthwhile songs
Scrawl inebriate rhymes
Reel in lots of gilled creatures when you haul your nets and lines
Feel a spot of guilt when you stake your claim to their lives
They’ve got no cause to make you hurt
You chide erstwhile codes
Ban them for their good
Deal with lots of shrill people in what you call your neighborhood
It sounds out of fashion but they fashion houses made of wood
You’ve your whole life in which to live
You are so high maintenance
You’ve sapped all my patience since you ran away from life
You’ve drawn your wild faces in
You are so high maintenance
You whip your vibrance into a violent confrontational swirl
You pledge your silence until you find the unattainable pearl
But you can always be a goodfella
And you can always be on my team
My admission to your final appearance
Is plied weekly from your vital adherences
You are so high maintenance
You’ve sapped all my patience since you ran away from life
You’re obscure you can’t see in darkness
You’ve got to find the light switch to something else

It's the Agony Aunts! (aka - The Corner Laughers!) Really, that's all you need to know. If you have not heard them before, start by listening to the album "Greater Miranda" - if it doesn't get you completely hooked on this amazing San Francisco area band, then nothing will Kat Smith
