lyrics
Lawman, I’m afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time.
My old man’s gun has never been fired, but there’s a first time.
And this could be it. This could be the first time.
Oh Lawman, well you look to be a lot younger than me, and I’d hate to shoot a baby.
You got a long way to go before you’re old and slow, and it could be…
it could be a good time if you’d change your mind.
See I’m tired and sweet from making love, and it’s just too late,
you’ll have to wait. Bring your business around here in the morning.
See I’ve heard your line, and you’ve heard mine, and I’m just too tired
to take a side. Bring your business around here in the morning.
Don’t you want to be easy? Well look there,
let some of the things that you see go on by.
Or you can burn them into your brain, just go on home.
Don’t you see the children? They’re just like you.
They want everything to be fine, but they let it slide.
And the laughing lets you know that smiling breaks the rules.
Lawman, you know it could be me. And if you had your way, we’d all be down
under the face of a clock that’s just too old to be wound.
And you can see now, the old hands won’t move around.
One way or the other, fool card brother, this could be…
this could be the first time.

Bummer Year has some of the most vivid imagery I've listened to in a song.
"They're the kind of people who are with you in a bar fight even if you caused it for talking too much shit" is the pure poetry of loyalty, and just one of many lines that made me play this track over and over until I had to buy the album.
The music itself feels like a sunny day even if its been a "Bummer Year" glacialconcepts
Charming German indie pop with the keen melodic sensibilities and melancholic undercurrent of some of the style's best practitioners. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 26, 2021
