about

I wrote this one while driving to Berkeley from San Francisco one day by myself, I think it was a Monday morning in January a few years back. I was very happy to be able to make up a song with out any instruments at hand. I recorded it into the voice memos on my phone and taught it to the band.

lyrics

Man of Misery
Hang your head so low
You been hangin’ round
Nowhere to go
And you’re always comin’ back for more.

Man of Misery
While the sun shines high
You hide your lonely face to cry
And you’re always feelin’ her goodbye.

Here I go out the door
Here I go feelin’ low
Head in hand
I’m a worried man
Here I go out the door feelin’ low.

Down bound train knows my name
Down bound train knows where I been
Old blue jeans subway scene
Down bound train, old blue jeans, subway scene.

There’s no such word as my sweetheart
Someday she may come back to me
Don’t know why she’d want us to part
But it made me a man of misery.

Man of Misery
While the sun shines high
You hide your lonely face to cry
And you’re always feelin' her goodbye.

Here I go out the door
Here I go feelin’ low.
